Audit Management Questions and Answers

Open Question: What can you comment about this case?

Case 1: Supplier in Trouble ‘‘The listing of NewCCC Inc. on NASDAQ was halted. Your auditors wanted to see the conclusions of a forensic audit of NewCCC Inc.’s books going back to 1999. The forensic audit is looking for potential fraud,’’ Jill Turner stated, looking at the pale fifty-year-old man sitting in front of her. ‘‘The listing of our shares was halted temporarily,’’ he pointed out, tapping his finger on the table as he spit out ‘‘temporarily.’’ ‘‘When will the listing continue?’’ Jill asked, trying to decipher the meaning of the word temporarily.The meeting room was small—only four chairs and a table. James Mendelsson, senior vice president of NewCCC Inc., was sitting on the edge of his chair in front of Jill. He reluctantly admitted that he didn’t know of any schedule for the listing. ‘‘We expect that the forensic audit will be finished by the end of August,’’ he explained. Jill, the business analyst for suppliers, wondered how many times he had told the same story. It was obvious that investors, bankers, shareholders, employees, suppliers, and customers wanted to know what had happened to this relatively old and stable company. ‘‘There’s still three months to go before your forensic audit will be finished,’’ Jill said impatiently, and continued, ‘‘Your previous CFO and controller had to leave the company. Is that correct?’’ James nodded tiredly and moved forward in his chair, his dark blue eyes locked on the simple brown table. ‘‘Are there any pending lawsuits against NewCCC Inc.?’’ Jill asked. ‘‘No, not at this moment,’’ James sounded delighted to break the news. He held his head in his hands. ‘‘We are investigating what happened,’’ he emphasized. ‘‘Who is your biggest shareholder? Do you still have the same shareholders as before?’’ Jill asked and looked at James. He was quiet—no answer. ‘‘It was announced in your annual report in March 2002 that the biggest shareholders were your president and chairman, John O’Malley, with 55 percent of shares, and your previous CFO, Timothy Credit, with 10 percent of shares. Is this informationstill valid?’’ Jill inquired. ‘‘I can’t say exactly who our biggest shareholders are at the moment. I suppose that it’s still the same people as before,’’ James said in a hesitating voice, staring at the table again. ‘‘Please check out the details for me,’’ Jill asked in a friendly but firm tone and continued, ‘‘Do you have that information available?’’ ‘‘All right, Kate, please get the files from my office,’’ James said, turning to the accountant who was sitting next to him. Kate left the room. To Jill, the seconds felt like hours as they waited for Kate’s return. ‘‘More coffee?’’ James asked politely. ‘‘Yes, please. With milk, but no sugar. Thanks.’’ Kate returned to the small meeting room carrying some papers. James nodded to Kate to sit. He took the papers and flicked through them until he found the relevant page. His expression changed. ‘‘Well, there have been some changes in our ownership, I see,’’ he stated, looking as if he had seen the information for the first time. This was not a surprise, Jill thought wryly to herself. She said to James, '‘According to the news, your president and CFO sold the largest portion of their shares just one month before this case started.’’ ‘‘Yes, you are right,’’ confirmed James slowly. ‘‘Of course, our management expects everything to be all right in accounting,’’ James pointed out strongly. Jill had another opinion about the link between the occurrences. Top management must be aware of the possible ‘‘creative accounting’’ that helped the company to show higher profits. The chair and CFO made significant gains by selling their shares at a good price because other outside investors believed NewCCC Inc. to be in excellent financial condition. The accounting might be misleading. The share price increased while top management possibly presented overly optimistic financial statements. Jill was quiet as she jotted down more notes. This company was the main supplier for the new products in which Success Inc., Jill’s employer, had already invested $50 million. Jill’s colleagues had conducted a quality audit on this company. The result of the quality audit was good—only three nonconformities. Until now, nobody had made a comprehensive analysis of the financial status and management of the company, which could reveal the weak points of the supplier. Jill’s colleagues launched a supplier analysis when NewCCC Inc. had to leave NASDAQ. It was obvious that the warning flags of the company’s financial condition were in place. Should Success Inc. seek another supplier? It would take at least two months to find a new supplier. The project would be delayed, and production would start much later than planned. Success Inc. would lose approximately $100 million. How much would the delay affect Success Inc.’s market share? The risk and the calculated potential loss were high. Jill sipped some cold coffee from her cup in th more

Open Question: I need help with this homework assignment...I'm really stumped!?

The board of trustees of a local church is concerned about the internal accounting controls pertaining to the offering collections made at weekly services. They ask you to serve on a three-person audit team with the internal auditor of the university and a CPA who has just joined the church. At a meeting of the audit team and the board of trustees you learn the following. 1. The church’s board of trustees has delegated responsibility for the financial management and audit of the financial records to the finance committee. This group prepares the annual budget and approves major disbursements but is not involved in collections or recordkeeping. No audit has been made in recent years because the same trusted employee has kept church records and served as financial secretary for 15 years. The church does not carry any fidelity insurance. 2. The collection at the weekly service is taken by a team of ushers who volunteer to serve for 1 month. The ushers take the collection plates to a basement office at the rear of the church. They hand their plates to the head usher and return to the church service. After all plates have been turned in, the head usher counts the cash received. The head usher then places the cash in the church safe along with a notation of the amount counted. The head usher volunteers to serve for 3 months. 3. The next morning the financial secretary opens the safe and recounts the collection. The secretary withholds $150–$200 in cash, depending on the cash expenditures expected for the week, and deposits the remainder of the collections in the bank. To facilitate the deposit, church members who contribute by check are asked to make their checks payable to “Cash.” 4. Each month the financial secretary reconciles the bank statement and submits a copy of the reconciliation to the board of trustees. The reconciliations have rarely contained any bank errors and have never shown any errors per books. Instructions (a) Indicate the weaknesses in internal accounting control in the handling of collections. (b) List the improvements in internal control procedures that you plan to make at the next meeting of the audit team for (1) the ushers, (2) the head usher, (3) the financial secretary, and (4) the finance committee. (c) What church policies should be changed to improve internal control? more

Resolved Question: Is it a myth that the federal reserve does not get audited?

http://www.publiceye.org/conspire/flaherty/flaherty6.html An often repeated Federal Reserve conspiracy theory is that the Fed has never been audited. “Every year Congress introduces legislation to audit the FED,” wrote Thomas Schauf, “and every year it is defeated.”7 Why? Conspiracy theorists such as Schauf, Gary Kah (1991), and Pat Robertson (1994) say the reason is that the Fed is involved in an international plot to subvert U.S. sovereignty and create a one-world government. Naturally, the Fed will not permit Congress to audit its activities, lest it discover this treasonous plan and shut it down. How much truth is there to this claim? Has the Fed ever been audited by Congress or anyone else? The Fed controls U.S. monetary policy and can act with a great deal of independence from Congress and the executive branch. Clearly, such awesome power requires some sort of regular public oversight at the very least to insure that the Fed is doing its job efficiently and effectively, and to detect any abuses of power or fraud. This essay explores the claim that the Fed has never been audited and finds that it is completely false. A Brief History of Federal Reserve Audits Since its inception in 1913 the Federal Reserve System has been subjected to a variety of financial and performance audits by Congress, the executive branch, and private accounting firms, although responsibility for this task has shifted from time to time. From 1913 to 1921 the Board of Governors, then known as the Federal Reserve Board which sets monetary policy and regulates the activities of the Federal Reserve Banks, was audited annually by the U.S. Treasury Department. In 1921 Congress created the Government Accounting Office (GAO) and assigned it to audit the Board until 1933. In the Banking Act of 1933, Congress voted specifically to remove the Board from the GAO’s jurisdiction. From 1933 to 1952 audit teams from the twelve Federal Reserve Banks performed the annual examination of the BOG’s books. From 1952 to 1978, the Board, under authorization from Congress, decided to employ nationally recognize accounting firms to conduct the audits of itself to insure independent oversight. This provided an external evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of the examination procedures.1 In 1978 Congress passed the Federal Banking Agency Audit Act (31 USCA §714). It placed the Federal Reserve System back under the auditing authority of the GAO. The Act significantly increased the access of the GAO to the Federal Reserve Banks, the Board, and the Federal Open Market Committee (the FOMC). Since then, the GAO has conducted over 100 financial audits and performance audits of the three Federal Reserve bodies.3 Scope of GAO Audits Some of the more important GAO performance audits of the Fed have been in the areas of bank supervision, payment systems activities, and government securities activities. In the first area, the GAO examined how well the Fed was enforcing its regulatory powers over its member banks. In 1992 it drew attention to the Fed’s sluggish compliance with regulatory reforms mandated by the Foreign Bank Supervision Act of 1991. In examining the Fed’s payment system activities, the GAO made the Fed aware of how its pricing policies for such services as check-clearing affected private suppliers of check-clearing services, and also suggested ways to speed up the process of check collections. Security markets for government debt is a crucial market, and GAO performance audits of the Fed have lead to more openness in the primary dealer system, particularly concerning the disclosure of price information. The GAO is also involved in several ongoing performance audits of the Fed such as analysis of risks and benefits of interstate banking, regulation of derivatives, and the budget of the Federal Reserve system.2 Audits By Private Accounting Firms Financial audits of the Fed are also conducted regularly. Each Reserve Bank is audited every year by independent General Auditors who report directly to the Board of Governors. These examinations involve financial statement audits and reviews on the effectiveness of financial controls. Each Reserve Bank also has its own internal audit mechanisms. The Board contracts each year with an outside accounting firm to evaluate the audit program’s effectiveness. Price Waterhouse conducted an audit of the Board’s 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 financial statements and filed this report in the Board’s 1996 Annual Report (nearly identical ones appear in other Annual Reports): We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of revenues and expenses for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our au I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE AN AUTHORITY STEVEN C, THIS IS SOMETHING I COPIED AND PASTED, THE IRONY OF YOUR RESPONSE IS YOUR COPY AND PASTED LINK ON YOUR RESPONSE LOL..SO YOUR THE AUTHORITY LOL...SURE YA RY.... If you had some idea of which you speak I might find your argument worthwhile, but to read one blog hardly makes you an authority on the FED if you really knew what was going on with the FED you would know that what you "copy and paste" is nonsense. It has been noted by many Institutes of knowledge that if the people were to find out what the FED was up to there would be a bloody revolution tomorrow.

Resolved Question: What are thoughts on this Sheriff Joe Arpaio scoffs at possibility of broader federal probe?

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio scoffs at the possibility that a federal civil rights and racial profiling investigation into his immigration raids and crime sweeps could be expanded into a broader look at his office’s use of power and finances. Arpaio said the U.S. Justice Department’s civil rights investigation is a politically motivated inquiry by the Barack Obama administration into his immigration enforcement tactics, and he has no indication yet whether investigators are or will be looking into any other matters, including finances. The hard-nosed sheriff said the FBI and Justice Department will not find any financial irregularities within his office. “I have nothing to hide. Let them look,” said Arpaio, who acknowledged that such investigations can be drawn-out affairs. “They are just coming down here hoping to find something.” But some legal and public officials with familiarity of Justice Department and FBI inquiries into the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office say the federal investigation could be expanded. That includes investigators taking a closer look at financial management, contracting and vendor relationships, and how various pools of money are used by the MCSO, according to the officials and legal sources who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution. The MCSO’s $270 million budget includes jails and law enforcement. County budget cuts could result in MCSO having a $228 million annual budget for the next fiscal year, according to Maricopa County spokesman Richard de Uriarte. Federal investigators could examine MCSO’s vendor contracts; its equipment and vehicle purchases; how it uses federal grant money; the movement of pools of money within the office; and its overall financial management and use of county and federal money, according to a source familiar with the inquiry. Arpaio stressed he is not aware of any criminal or financial probe by the feds into the MCSO, and that the Obama administration does not like his get-tough stances on immigration and law and order. Justice Department attorneys began looking into Arpaio’s crime and immigration sweeps in late 2008 and earlier this year confirmed a federal civil rights investigation of the sheriff’s immigration and criminal enforcement, said Justice spokesman Alejandro Miyar. Miyar said the MCSO inquiry started at the end of President George W. Bush’s second term, but the investigation has become more aggressive since Obama became president and Eric Holder took over as U.S. attorney general in January. Miyar would not comment specifically on the status of the Arpaio investigation, but said he was not aware of any expansion of the probe beyond the MCSO immigration and crime sweeps. Arpaio, 77, confirmed federal investigators had been to his office and were conducting interviews, but said those inquiries will not deter his arrests of illegal immigrants and raids of businesses that employ them. “You don’t see me stopping,” said the sheriff, who criticized the motivation and manner of the federal investigation. There are some calls from Arpaio critics for a comprehensive financial audit of MCSO, but de Uriarte said he was not aware of any immediate efforts by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to conduct an audit. The sheriff has been battling with the county board and other local officials over immigration issues, including spats with County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. The MCSO said June 17 it was investigating restaurant lease deals between Wilcox and the city of Phoenix-owned Sky Harbor International Airport. Arpaio and Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas led an investigation that indicted Supervisor Don Stapley in December on charges of not disclosing business and real estate development deals on public financial disclosure forms. Stapley denies wrongdoing. Former Maricopa County Schools Superintendent Sandra Dowling also is suing the county and Arpaio over a 2006 SWAT-team raid of her Phoenix home. Dowling was indicted on numerous counts, including theft, but ended up pleading guilty only to the charge of improperly giving her daughter a job within the county school system. Arpaio’s office also has an investigation into Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard’s handling of the state prosecution of former Arizona Treasurer David Petersen. Goddard denies wrongdoing in that case. Arpaio, who was elected to a fifth term in November, said his political adversaries in Arizona are encouraging the Justice Department to go after him,,,,,,,,,,, http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2009/06/15/daily60.html more

Resolved Question: Need help with assignment?

I was given the assignment to make a tows matrix using the swot analysis of an indian watch company 'HMT' Below is the swot analysis of HMT can anyone please make a tows matrix of swot analysis below.Best answer 10 pts :) SWOT analysis of HMT: Strengths: Mechanical watches: HMT is the market leader in mechanical watches which serves to the lower segment of the society. HMT has a strong hold in this segment but to make sure that players like titan and timex do not occupy the stance HMT needs to do its homework. Brand equity: HMT has a very strong brand image. People know HMT because of its quality and reliability. Production and training facility: production facility is flexible enough to adapt to new technologies. Training program is one of the best in the country. Industrial relations: company has very good industrial relations. Till today company did not encounter any kind of labor or industrial relations problem which can put company in to jeopardy. Adequate assets: company has commensurate amount of land, building and machinery available. Weaknesses: No emphasis on R&D and design: HMT did not pay much attention to aesthetics and design. While its competitor titan kept innovating its products with latest technology, features and design, HMT was still grappling with its basic design models. Retailer policy: HMT did not have control measures over its retailers; hence they lost control over prices and the trade. Lack of team spirit and awareness: HMT’s motivational strategies-punishment/reward have been inadequate, resulting in low utilization of human and machine capacities. Trade audits: No regular trade audit was being carried out by the company to check what was actually happening in the market. Management levels: The ground level HMT staff has nearly six rungs of bureaucracy to go through before a general manager in sales or marketing could take a field decision. Opportunities: Diversification of products: there are good diversification possibilities in products. Apart from mechanical watches HMT can also focus on anadigi, digiana, multifunction, digital, stopwatch, alarm, thin etc. Exports: export market can be tapped. Market segmentation: company can expand the market launching products suitable for different customer profiles e.g.: youth, gift fashion, sports, novelty etc. Enlarge network of sale outlets: An effective distribution system is mandatory for company’s success. Product improvement: Company can manufacture product based on current customer preferences, combining technology and aesthetic appeal together to enhance the experience. Threats: From competitors: titan, timex, citizen, swatch etc. Spurious operators: People who indulge in fraudulent activities. Misusing the brand name. Authorized service agents: For foreign smuggled watches. Regional players: With their cheap prices and availability. Unorganized manufacturing. more

[Did this happen on Collins Class project or was that project somehow exempt ? <<Q/Is this a desirable way of developing software ? New computer is supposedly chosen on its ability to rapidly replace existing computer. But the necessity for a good software development environment infrastructure with the new system is forgotten.

and I know you guys are just a helpful bunch.... Is it a good idea to try to get a better job when you are laid off than you had while you were working? I was laid off in Feb. and I have been looking for jobs nonstop with no luck. I have found several that I am interested in, but I don't apply because they are a step up from where I was at my last job. I was the ISO Administrator for a multinational oilfield drilling products company. I was responsible for company wide training, writing SOPs, all internal audits for our North American facilities, coordinating third party audits for our N.A. facilities, etc. I recently found a job that I am in love with, but it is a training manager position. The only "manager" experience that I have is being work center supervisor while I was in the Navy and I basically managed the ISO system with my previous employer. It is also in another field, medical, which I have some experience, but that was about 15 years ago. I have all of the "Requirements" that they are asking for covered, but it is a management position. Should I start trying to go up the ladder, or stay lateral. Which would give me a better chance at finding a new job? Thanks guys... I think that getting laid off has messed with my head a little.

Resolved Question: Does it look bad if I have multiple college degrees?

I'm 27 years old and I currently have 3 Bachelor degrees and an MBA and am strongly considering going back to school for yet another bachelors. I currently have a bachelors in accounting, marketing, zoology, and an MBA with a focus in Health care management. I have worked in auditing in the past and held several sales positions. I did very well at the places I have worked but simply got bored or burned out each time. I then went back and pursued the zoology degree as I wanted to become a pharmacist. Well my mind once again changed so I went back to auditing and in the mean time got the MBA. Now I want to pursue computer science as programming has always been a hobby of mine, but employers want to see the degree as my skills are not that developed. I have paid for all of my schooling through grants, employer reimbursements, family contribution, and scholarships. I have zero student loans. My worry is that employers in the future will see how uncommitted I have been to a particular field in the past and this will discourage them. I am simply interested in too many things. I am a good worker. Any one have an opinion on this? more

Resolved Question: How much notice should you give on a job that you've been working for two weeks?

OK, here's the deal since I know some people will say "Why quit after 2 weeks?? You're an idiot!" I got laid off by a major company last year on the day before my birthday. I have been looking for a job ever since, any job really, and I finally found one a few weeks ago working at a local grocery store. It's full-time, money is decent, but that's where the perks stop. It's terrible work, They have not provided any training for me to do my job. Nobody in the store knows how to do my job, not even the manager. The old employee who worked my department transferred to a different store a few days before I started. So I am basically on my own. To make matters worse, the store has had two bad audits in the past few months...5 figures bad. I guess I got hired out of spite, and I took the job without knowing the obligations of the job. The management did a poor job of letting me know about what was expected of me. They just printed off some training literature from the company website, and it is no help at all. I have made up my mind about quitting. My question to you is, how much notice should I give, even if I haven't worked more than two weeks for them? And how should I deliver it? 10 points to the best answer. Be quick though--my patience with this company is wearing thin. Ok, I should tell you I do not have another job lined up. But I'm not waiting another 7 months to find one. With my hours, it is very difficult to actually search for jobs. Everyone says it is easier to find work when you have a job, but that rule does not apply to everyone. Currently, I live with my dad since he's on disability, so he can take care of me as far as food and shelter goes. I'll pay him back in August when I get the second half of my enlistment bonus (I'm in the Guard). I just realize this job is not for me, and it would be better for the company and me to go our separate ways. My only question is how do I go about it without burning bridges? more

Resolved Question: Is it legal for my employer to deduct money from my wages if stock is stolen by shoplifters?

I work in an upmarket food and drink retailer. The staff mainly consists of students working for minimum wage. Recently, we have had premium wine and drink go missing which we can only attribute to shoplifters. There is no reason to suggest that a member of staff is responsible. We are now being asked to sign an agreement stating that we agree to have the value of any stolen/missing items deducted from our wages. We feel that this is completely unfair. The shops sells many expensive products and the staff are always vigilant towards potential thieves. The high value products are going to be an attractive target for shoplifters. Instead of using CCTV or security, of which there is currently none, the management is making their staff liable for any items that go missing. This arrangement was not included in our employment contract. There is no way to prove that any missing stock has been stolen of simply missing due to poor auditing. Can they deduct the value of potentially stolen stock from our staff wages? Sorry, I should have added that I live in the UK. Thank you all for your excellent responses. more

Resolved Question: Is Wal-Mart trying to fire me?

I'm a Cashier at Wal-Mart, I've been there for nearly 2 years. First and foremost I'd like to say that I HATE my job with a passion, you customers are quite rude and ignorant and it's very easy to see why plenty of cashiers are very bitter. In reality 95% of customers are nice, however it's the remaining 5% that can raise your blood pressure and get you fired. Nonetheless I recently graduated from college and obviously I'm having trouble finding a job in today's market as I plan on going to grad school. However I'm a pretty good cashier, my register is never short, I'm nice to all customers, I know how to bag correctly, and I'm pretty fast as well. Overall I'm good at my job and I pride myself about my quality work, however it just seems apparent that Wal-Mart is trying to find a reason to fire me. I even think my store is trying to fire people that have worked there for YEARS (10+) and know exactly what they're doing, they discourage unions and full-time employees as well. Anyhow they've been doing quite a few things that seem as if they are to intentionally trying to piss me off. Just today my manager informed me that I came up short on an audit. Rather money, I was accussed of a missing WIC voucher from register. The supposed incident happened over a week ago and I'm just now being confronted about it. Also when my manager confronted me about it, she showed me some papers and tried to say that I gave a check to a customer that I was supposed to keep and that this took place yesterday...to bad I was OFF. She then went back into the office and then showed me audit report showing that I had a missing WIC voucher. She didn't go into much details about anything she just handed me a paper then told me to take it to CSM where they would mark it in their book and I had to sign off on something (I kinda regret this). Personally I do not believe that I am responsible for the so called "missing voucher" as I firmly believe that I was framed. Upper level management hates my attitude because I hate my job and they know it yet I do my job well so they can't touch me. It could be that I have overextended my stay at the company becuase Wal-Mart is constantly hiring new cashiers (at lower wages) and firing cashiers. Honestly I should ask for a promotion, but I hate everything that Wal-Mart stands for in regards to labor and business practices. They IMO are part of the reason why we are having this recession. In the meantime I'm just passing by waiting for other opportunities. more

Resolved Question: Should I change to Accounting?

My college started an Accounting/Auditing program this semester. I'm working towards a Bachelors in Management, and I'm set to graduate this coming December. It would prolong my studies another semester, but I keep thinking the switch would be much more beneficial. I'm just checking for some accounting students' point of view..
