资料:Many people think of internal control as a means of safeguarding cash and preventing fraud. Although internal control is an important factor in protecting assets and preventing fraud, this is only a part of its roles. Remember that business decisions are based on accounting data and the system of internal control provides assurance of the dependability of the accounting data used in making decisions.
The decisions made by management are communicated throughout the organization and become company policy. The results of the policies-----the consequences of managerial decisions----must be reported back to management so that the soundness of company policies can be evaluated. Among the means of communication included in the system of internal control are organization charts, manuals of accounting policies and procedures, flow charts, financial forecasts, purchase orders, receiving reports, invoices, and other documents. The term documentation refers to all the charts, forms, reports, and other business papers that guide and describe the working of a company's system of accounting and internal control.
Internal controls fall into two major classes: administrative controls and accounting controls. Administrative controls are measures that increase operational efficiency and compliance with policies in all parts of organization. For example, an administrative control may be a requirement that traveling salespersons submit reports showing the number of calls made on customers each day. Another example is a directive require airline pilots to have regular medical examinations. These internal administrative controls have no direct bearing on the reliability of the financial statements. Consequently, administrative controls are not of direct interest on accountants and independent auditors.
Internal accounting controls are measures that relate to protection of assets and to the reliability of accounting and financial reports. An example is the requirement that a person whose duties involve handling cash shall not also maintain accounting records. More broadly stated, the accounting function must be kept separate from the custody of assets. Another accounting control is the requirement that checks, purchase orders, and other documents be serially numbered. Still another example is the rule that a person who orders merchandise and supplies should not be the one to receive them and should not sign checks to pay for them.

Which one of the following is not the role of internal control?

A.Preventing fraud.
B.Providing help for making decisions.
C.Improving the sense of responsibility of employees.
D.Protecting assets.

3.3 Susan Paullaos was recently appointed as a non-executive member of the internal audit committee of Gluck andGoodman, a public listed company producing complex engineering products. Barney Chester, the executive financedirector who chairs the committee, has always viewed the purpose of internal audit as primarily financial in natureand as long as financial controls are seen to be fully in place, he is less concerned with other aspects of internalcontrol. When Susan asked about operational controls in the production facility Barney said that these were not theconcern of the internal audit committee. This, he said, was because as long as the accounting systems and financialcontrols were fully functional, all other systems may be assumed to be working correctly.Susan, however, was concerned with the operational and quality controls in the production facility. She spoke toproduction director Aaron Hardanger, and asked if he would be prepared to produce regular reports for the internalaudit committee on levels of specification compliance and other control issues. Mr Hardanger said that the internalaudit committee had always trusted him because his reputation as a manager was very good. He said that he hadnever been asked to provide compliance evidence to the internal audit committee and saw no reason as to why heshould start doing so now.At board level, the non-executive chairman, George Allejandra, said that he only instituted the internal audit committeein the first place in order to be seen to be in compliance with the stock market’s requirement that Gluck and Goodmanshould have one. He believed that internal audit committees didn’t add materially to the company. They were, hebelieved, one of those ‘outrageous demands’ that regulatory authorities made without considering the consequencesin smaller companies nor the individual needs of different companies. He also complained about the need to have aninternal auditor. He said that Gluck and Goodman used to have a full time internal auditor but when he left a yearago, he wasn’t replaced. The audit committee didn’t feel it needed an internal auditor because Barney Chester believedthat only financial control information was important and he could get that information from his managementaccountant.Susan asked Mr Allejandra if he recognised that the company was exposing itself to increased market risks by failingto have an effective audit committee. Mr Allejandra said he didn’t know what a market risk was.Required:(a) Internal control and audit are considered to be important parts of sound corporate governance.(i) Describe FIVE general objectives of internal control.

  • 第1题:

    (b) Criticise the internal control and internal audit arrangements at Gluck and Goodman as described in the case

    scenario. (10 marks)


    正确答案:
    (b) Criticisms
    The audit committee is chaired by an executive director. One of the most important roles of an audit committee is to review
    and monitor internal controls. An executive director is not an independent person and so having Mr Chester as chairman
    undermines the purpose of the committee as far as its role in governance is concerned.
    Mr Chester, the audit committee chairman, considers only financial controls to be important and undermines the purpose of
    the committee as far as its role in governance is concerned. There is no recognition of other risks and there is a belief that
    management accounting can provide all necessary information. This viewpoint fails to recognise the importance of other
    control mechanisms such as technical and operational controls.
    Mr Hardanger’s performance was trusted without supporting evidence because of his reputation as a good manager. An audit
    committee must be blind to reputation and treat all parts of the business equally. All functions can be subject to monitor and
    review without ‘fear or favour’ and the complexity of the production facility makes it an obvious subject of frequent attention.
    The audit committee does not enjoy the full support of the non-executive chairman, Mr Allejandra. On the contrary in fact,
    he is sceptical about its value. In most situations, the audit committee reports to the chairman and so it is very important
    that the chairman protects the audit committee from criticism from executive colleagues, which is unlikely given the situation
    at Gluck and Goodman.
    There is no internal auditor to report to the committee and hence no flow of information upon which to make control decisions.
    Internal auditors are the operational ‘arms’ of an audit committee and without them, the audit committee will have little or no
    relevant data upon which to monitor and review control systems in the company.
    The ineffectiveness of the internal audit could increase the cost of the external audit. If external auditors view internal controls
    as weak they would be likely to require increased attention to audit trails, etc. that would, in turn, increase cost.
