It outlines a number of approaches to ensure that the accountants of the future are equipped with a useful awareness of some of the key topic areas that are quickly becoming a reality and helps bridge the gap between academia and practice. The chapters are standalone introductory pieces to provide useful précis of key topics and how they apply to the accounting profession in particular.

Book Synopsis The Accounting Profession by : United States. General Accounting Office
Download or read book The Accounting Profession written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public confidence in the fairness of financial reporting is critical to the effective functioning of the securities markets. Federal securities laws require public companies to disclose information that accurately describes the financial condition of a company. These laws also require that financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by public companies be audited by independent public accountants. During the past 20 years, costly, well-publicized, and unexpected business failures--such as the savings and loan crisis and the resulting government bailouts--have raised questions about what the public expects from an independent audit of public companies and how well the audit function meets those expectations. More recently, the globalization of business, the increasing complexities of business transactions, and advances in information technology have challenged the relevance and usefulness of traditional financial reporting and the auditor's role in serving the public interest. These issues, along with major litigation involving independent auditors, prompted many studies of financial reporting and auditing during the past two decades, resulting in hundreds of recommendations to the accounting profession. This report (1) identifies recommendations made from 1972 through 1995, and actions taken, to strengthen accounting and auditing standards and the performance of independent audits of publicly owned companies required by federal securities laws and (2) identifies unresolved issues and determines their impact on the performance of independent auditors, the setting of effective accounting and auditing standards, and the scope of business reporting and audit services. GAO found that although the accounting profession has made changes to improve financial reporting and auditing of public companies, several major issues remain unresolved. These issues include auditor independence, auditor responsibility for detecting fraud and reporting on internal controls, public participation in standard setting, the timeliness and relevance of accounting standards, and maintaining the independence of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The appendices to this report can be found in GAO/AIMD-96-98A.

Book Synopsis Accounting and the Global Economy After Sarbanes-Oxley by : Don E. Garner
Download or read book Accounting and the Global Economy After Sarbanes-Oxley written by Don E. Garner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essential for students and practitioners in accounting, international business, finance, and economics. In a straightforward and readable style, it focuses on the changing accounting and auditing standards in national and global economies in the post-Enron/Arthur Andersen era. The authors clarify the reasons behind and consequences of the accounting profession's failure in auditing and self-regulation, as most firms placed consulting profits ahead of public audit duties. They show how Sarbanes-Oxley solutions, while not perfect, are major contributors to the profession's redemption, and have enabled it to rise to new heights of service and revenue. The book offers a detailed examination of accounting practitioners' past challenges and future prospects. It provides a realistic analysis of specific issues facing accounting and auditing firms today, including the growing problem of independence; the need for one set of international accounting standards and one set of auditing standards; adjustments facing the global financial system; and the impact of the Internet and communication systems on accounting firms.
Download or read book Unaccountable written by Mike Brewster and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-10-21 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieses Buch befasst sich mit einem topaktuellen und gleichzeitig umstrittenen Thema: die Praktiken von Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaften und der Ruf nach umfassenden Reformen. Die ganze Brisanz dieses Themas wird am Beispiel des Prozesses gegen Arthur Anderson im Fall Enron nur zu deutlich, und die Situation für Wirtschaftsprüfer und ihre Klienten wird zunehmend brenzliger. Anhand von Interviews mit über 100 Hauptakteuren der Prüfungsbranche geht Autor Mike Brewster auf wichtige Gesprächsrunden und Ereignisse ein, die die Weiterentwicklung der Rolle des Wirtschaftsprüfers - weg von der reinen Prüfungspraxis und hin zu Consulting- und Researchaktivitäten bis zu Anlagetipps - deutlich belegen. "Unaccountable" zeichnet die faszinierende Verwandlung des Wirtschaftsprüfers nach, der einst als unabhängige Stimme im Auftrag der Aktionäre handelte und sich mittlerweile in einen Finanzberater für seine Unternehmensklientel verwandelt hat. Mike Brewster hat Kontakt zu einigen der stärksten Befürworter von Reformen sowie zu Brancheninsidern, wie z.B. Arthur Levitt, Harvey Pitt, Sandy Weill und den Vertretern der Großen 5 Wirtschaftsprüfungsunternehmen in den USA. Er stellt unbequeme Fragen und enthüllt dabei den großen Einflussbereich von Prüfern in Vorstandsetage, Wirtschaft und Politik. Denn Prüfer gehen heute lieber ihren Consultingaktivitäten nach als der Rechnungsprüfung; und die Großen 5 sind mehr damit beschäftigt, Prozesse zu führen als an der Verbesserung ihrer Prüfungen zu arbeiten. "Unaccountable" - Dieses Buch diskutiert die wirklich wichtigen Themen, beschreibt Möglichkeiten der Reform und erläutert die Auswirkungen, die diese auf Investoren und die Öffentlichkeit haben werden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed recommendations, made by major study groups over the past two decades, to the accounting profession, focusing on: (1) actions the profession has taken between 1972 and 1995 to improve accounting and auditing standards and the performance of independent audits under federal securities laws; and (2) unresolved issues and their impact on the performance of independent audits, setting of accounting and auditing standards, and efforts to expand the scope of business reporting and audit services. GAO found that: (1) although the accounting profession and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have been responsive in making changes to improve financial reporting and auditing, their actions have not been totally effective in resolving some major issues; (2) concerns remain regarding auditor objectivity despite efforts by the accounting profession and SEC to strengthen auditor independence; (3) the accounting profession has issued standards and guidance regarding auditors' roles and responsibilities to close the gap between public and professional expectations of auditor responsibility, especially in regard to detecting and reporting fraud and internal control weaknesses; (4) a voluntary peer review program has improved audit quality control processes and the overall quality of audits; (5) SEC and the accounting profession have made efforts to increase user participation in setting audit standards, and attempts have also been made to improve the quality and timeliness of accounting standards; and (6) the accounting profession and SEC are considering recommendations to create a more comprehensive financial reporting model that would include historical and current cost information as well as more timely and forward-looking information.
