This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: External auditors are continually facing intense pressure to be more efficient in conducting audits without compromising quality and effectiveness. Optimal utilization of internal audit work can improve both the efficiency and the effectiveness of external audits and can enhance the value of internal auditors to the client organization. The objective of this study is to understand how the three factors (objectivity, work performance, and competence of the internal auditors) identified by auditing standards and by prior research interact in determining the strength of the internal audit function' Most prior studies have attempted to understand external auditors? rank ordering of the importance of the three factors, without an explicit attempt to model the interactions among the factors. The results from these studies are mixed and inconclusive. Hence, prior studies have not produced a consensus about how external auditors seem to weight and combine these factors in order to make assessments relating to the strength of the internal audit function. This study employs analytical methods based on Bayesian probability to model external auditors? evaluation of the internal audit function. Specifically, models based on multistage (cascaded) inference theory are developed and analyzed using numerical sensitivity analysis. The modeling contribution is significant in the sense that it is the only study that provides a theoretical model for the decision process. Results reveal that the importance of the three factors varies with the type of evidence (convergent or conflicting) observed and is contingent on the interrelationships among the three factors. A major conclusion of this study is that in the Bayesian context, it is futile to attempt a ranking of the factors since no single factor will dominate under all conditions. The study also provides avenues for future research and for improving the guidance provided by professional auditing standards that relate to the evaluation of internal audit work.

Download or read book Implementing and Auditing the Internal Control System written by D. Chorafas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-03-07 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With globalisation, deregulation and the advent of derivatives, credit institutions and the treasury operations of manufacturing, merchandising and service companies are finding that their traditional tools for management control no longer suffice. They must develop more efficient processes able to measure and monitor their risks in real-time. Internal control is a dynamic system covering all types of risk, addressing fraud, assuring transparency and making possible reliable financial reporting within such organisations. In Implementing and Auditing the Internal Control System , Dimitris N. Chorafas defines both auditing and internal control, and explains the value of internal control, why it must be audited, and how it can be most effectively achieved. He addresses top management's accountability for internal control, and uses case studies to demonstrate the application of such systems, and the importance of sound and well-informed analysis of the information gathered. Internal control systems are examined within the context of the globalization of financial markets, under the impact of the growth of information technology, and from the viewpoint of new regulations by supervisory authorities in Group of Ten countries as well as by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision. Based on an extensive research project in the UK, US, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden, this book is an invaluable source of practical advice for implementing internal control systems, and making existing systems more efficient. It provides managers and professionals with guidelines for the interpretation and use of the resulting internal control intelligence.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

Download or read book An Understanding of the Differences Between Internal and External Auditors in Obtaining and Assessing Information about Internal Control Weaknesses written by Ian Burt and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical role of the internal auditor is to design and monitor their organization's system of internal controls (COSO, 2004). In addition, they may be expected to objectively assess the quality of internal controls as professional auditors (Gray, 2004). External auditors have expressed concern that an internal auditor's strong identity with their organization will bias any internal control assessments he or she makes of that organization (Schneider, 1984). Even so, accounting regulators believe internal auditors' internal control assessments can be objective, and also maintain that having external auditors rely on these assessments should help to lower audit fees without jeopardizing audit quality (AICPA, 1990 - AS 5). Through two separate experiments, relying on social identity theory, social norms and the organizational silence literature in psychology, I examine whether the “employee” identity the internal auditor assumes as a member of the organization encourages other employees to share more information about internal control weaknesses with the internal auditor than the external auditor. In addition, I explore conditions under which the external auditor may be willing to rely on the internal auditor's internal control assessment even if the internal auditor's organizational identity is strong. Overall, this research will help external auditors, managers and regulators understand conditions under which the internal auditor can maintain their objectivity when performing an internal control assessment. Specifically, this research examines the potential importance of cueing internal auditors through the use of a strong code of ethics, such as the code of ethics enacted by the Institute of Internal Auditors, to the maintenance of the objectivity of all internal auditors. If the internal audit work is objective enough to be relied upon by the external auditor, the client can benefit from an audit of high quality while at the same time potentially lowering overall audit fees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ease the transition to the new COSO framework with practical strategy Internal Control Audit and Compliance provides complete guidance toward the latest framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). With clear explanations and expert advice on implementation, this helpful guide shows auditors and accounting managers how to document and test internal controls over financial reporting with detailed sections covering each element of the framework. Each section highlights the latest changes and new points of emphasis, with explicit definitions of internal controls and how they should be assessed and tested. Coverage includes easing the transition from older guidelines, with step-by-step instructions for implementing the new changes. The new framework identifies seventeen new principles, each of which are explained in detail to help readers understand the new and emerging best practices for efficiency and effectiveness. The revised COSO framework includes financial and non-financial reporting, as well as both internal and external reporting objectives. It is essential for auditors and controllers to understand the new framework and how to document and test under the new guidance. This book clarifies complex codification and provides an effective strategy for a more rapid transition. Understand the new COSO internal controls framework Document and test internal controls to strengthen business processes Learn how requirements differ for public and non-public companies Incorporate improved risk management into the new framework The new framework is COSO's first complete revision since the release of the initial framework in 1992. Companies have become accustomed to the old guidelines, and the necessary procedures have become routine – making the transition to align with the new framework akin to steering an ocean liner. Internal Control Audit and Compliance helps ease that transition, with clear explanation and practical implementation guidance.

Download or read book Management's Assessment of Internal Controls, External Consultants, and Audit Efficiency written by Jennifer Blaskovich and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate how the involvement of an external consultant in management's assessment of internal control affects external auditors' planning decisions. We find that when management integrity is low, such involvement results in auditors recommending a higher reliance on internal controls and lower budgeted hours than in the absence of such involvement. Surprisingly, when management integrity is high, the involvement of external consultants results in higher budgeted hours. Based on our results, we conclude that external auditors perceive the involvement of external consultants as a legitimate managerial intent to accurately assess the state of internal control rather than hide its deficiencies. However, in case of high integrity management the involvement of external consultants might be seen by auditors as inconsistent with prior evidence on the quality of internal control and thus might signal the existence of the additional risk factors of material weaknesses.
