Tax Audits

This question is designed to encourage students to think creatively about issues for which there are no uniquely correct answers. Some of the issues students may raise are as follows. Congress recently passed the Sarbanes-Oxley bill that makes it illegal for auditors to perform external audit and internal audit or management consulting services at the same time. This bill also introduced other measures that attempt to restore confidence in the country's capital markets. For instance, the bill mandated the creation of a new public company accounting oversight board (the PCAOB) that is under the jurisdiction of the SEC, essentially ending the profession's long-standing tradition of self-regulation. The board has power over audit firms auditing SEC clients in the U.S. Unfortunately, these measures ultimately cannot by themselves completely restore confidence in the capital markets. The NYSE and NASDAQ are currently considering numerous reforms to listing requirements to strengthen board of director governance over senior management. Companies must consistently demonstrate their commitment to accurately disclose financial and operating information, and a continuous process must be established to enhance and maintain the quality of information provided to investors and creditors.

The two pieces of legislation that have probably had the greatest effect on internal audit are the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, which changed the reporting relationships and authority of internal audit and Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 which requires certain tests be performed on publicly traded companies. Both have changed the function of internal audit. Many other pieces of legislation also affect internal audit, some are industry specific some are more broad based.

An effective governance audit begins with a shared meaning of what governance is. For some that meaning can be a descriptive definition while other require governance to be define in more operational terms. Which one of these approaches is most appropriate depends on the type of audit you intend to perform.

Governance refers to the decision making rights and responsibilities within an organization. Who can make which decisions under a given set of circumstances. Governance is often expressed from the top down beginning with the organizations charter,authority of the board of directors the policies which apply to the board. governance extends downward to the organizations executives from the board again usually through formal policies and procedures covering most aspects of operations and decision making such as with the creation of specific IT governance policies.

Audits of governance begin by validating the governance model exists and defines some the relationship of board governance on down to departmental and functional governance as with IT governance. This initial review is looking for consistency and sufficiency in the governance model.

Next the audit should seek to determine if governance as it is applied is working as the model intended. That means looking for evidence that decision making is occurring in a top down manner and within the authority granted to the individuals or entities by the policies. Most of ten this s done by selecting a sampling of decisions in a particular area and examining them for evidence the governance model was followed.

There are governance frameworks developed by professional organizations which help set standards of practice for sound governance including IT governance. Similarly, there are established standards for conducting audits and specific for auditing governance in an organization and for audits of IT governance.

In audits of IT governance the focus is on making sound IT investments decisions, allocating and managing resources for projects and operations, and technology risk management. Each of these governance areas can be strengthened with formalized policies and procedures. Sample IT governance committee charters along with templates can be found at the related links provided.

The main difference in a continuous audit and a periodical audit is the amount of time an audit is done. A continuous audit is done many times throughout the year and a periodical is performed once a year. A continuous audit is also expensive because of the amount of time spent doing it.

A draft audited accounts: When the external auditors of a company have finished the audt of the company, a draft accounts will usually be prepared. It is called a draft because it is still subject to "alteration" as it has not been finalised. An external auditor will have to sign a fully audited accounts but will not append such signature unless the accounts is finalised in all aspects. So, we may say a draft audited accounts is an accounts already audited by the external auditors but which is still subject to alterations and will eventually become a final audited accounts onces all alterations have been effected and the accounts signed by both the external auditors and the board of directors of the company.

Wings are little flaps with adhesive on the two sides of the pad. You attach them to the other side of your underwear. Pads without wings are more likely to fold while you are wearing them.
