Review Questions
v
1-1 The ―crisis of credibility‖ largely arose from the number of companies that restated their previously
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
issued financial statements as a result of accounting irregularities and fraud. Especially responsible
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
werethe very visible Enron and WorldCom fraud cases. Both companies filed for bankruptcy and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
constituted the largest companies in American history to do so. The extent of the accounting
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
irregularities and fraud being investigated and disclosed brought into question the effectiveness of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
financial statement audits. In addition, the criminal conviction of Arthur Andersen, LLP, one of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
then Big 5 accounting firms, on charges of destroying documents related to the Enron case brought
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
into question the ethics standards of the profession.
v v v v v v v v
1-2 Assurance services are professional services that enhance the quality of information, or its context, for
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
decision-making. The two types are: (a) those that increase the reliability of information and (b) those
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
that involve putting information in a form or context that facilitates decision-making.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
1-3 A financial statement audit is, by far, the most common type of attest engagement. The overall
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
assertion,made by management, most frequently is that the financial statements follow generally
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
accepted accounting principles.
v v v
1-4 A large corporation with securities listed on a stock exchange is required by the rules of the stock
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
exchange and by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide an audit report with
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
theannual financial statements furnished to its stockholders. It also is required to engage the auditors to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
provide an opinion on its internal control. Apart from legal requirements, however, a large listed
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
corporation recognizes that it must maintain investor confidence in the reliability of its financial
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
statements and internal control over financial reporting if it is to continue to be able to secure capital
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
from the public. The report by a firm of certified public accountants adds credibility to the financial
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
statements prepared by the corporation. When a small family-owned enterprise elects to have an audit,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the purpose usually is to use the auditors' report to support an application for a bank loan.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
, 1-5 A report by an independent public accountant concerning the fairness of a company's financial
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
statementsis commonly required in the following situations:
v v v v v v v v
(1) Application for a bank loan. v v v v
(2) Establishing credit for purchase of merchandise, equipment, or other assets.v v v v v v v v v
(3) Reporting operating results, financial position, and cash flows to absentee owners
v v v v v v v v v v
v(stockholdersor partners). v v
(4) Issuance of securities by a corporation. v v v v v
(5) Annual financial statements by a corporation with securities listed on a stock exchange or
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
vtradedover the counter. v v v
(6) Sale of an ongoing business.
v v v v
(7) Termination of a partnership. v v v
1-6 To add credibility to financial statements is to increase the likelihood that they have been prepared
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
following the appropriate criteria, usually generally accepted accounting principles. As such, an
v v v v v v v v v v v v
increasein credibility results in financial statements that can be believed and relied upon by third
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
parties.
v
1-7 Business risk is the risk that the investment will be impaired because a company invested in is unable
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
tomeet its financial obligations due to economic conditions or poor management decisions.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Information risk is the risk that the information used to assess business risk is not accurate. Auditors
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
can directly reduce information risk, but have only limited effect on business risk.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
1-8 At the beginning of the century, the principal objective of auditing was the prevention and detection of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
fraud. Audit work centered on the balance sheet, because the income statement was regarded as highly
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
confidential and not for public disclosure. Today, the principal objective of auditing is to form an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
opinion on the fairness of financial statements and their conformity with generally accepted accounting
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
principles. But the professional standards also require that an audit be designed to provide reasonable
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
assurance of detecting material misstatements, due to errors or fraud. Particular emphasis is placed
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
on the income statement which is of great importance to investors. Auditing today also has the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
objectives ofmeeting the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for public companies.
v v v v v v v v
1-9 The statement is incorrect. The increasing integrated databases of today, along with available
v v v v v v v v v v v v
auditprocedures make audited entire populations a possibility in many situations.
v v v v v v v v v v v
1-10 An operational audit attempts to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of a specific unit of an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
organization. It involves more subjective judgments than a compliance audit or an audit of financial
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
statements because the criteria of effectiveness and efficiency of departmental performance are not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
asclearly established as are many laws and regulations or generally accepted accounting principles.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
The report prepared after completion of an operational audit is usually directed to management
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
of the organization in which the audit work was done.
v v v v v v v v v v
1-11 A compliance audit is an audit to determine whether financial reports or other assertions are in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
compliance with established criteria. The necessary ingredients are verifiable data and the existence of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
standards established by an authoritative body. An operational audit, on the other hand, is a review of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
adepartment or other unit of a business or governmental organization to measure the effectiveness
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
and efficiency of operations. Internal auditors often perform operational audits as do auditors
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
employed by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) of the federal government.
v v v v v v v v v v v
1-12 Internal auditors must be independent of the department heads and other line executives whose work
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
vtheyreview. However, internal auditors are not independent in the same sense as a public accounting
