...An anonymous caller seeks help from her former university professor. The caller thinks that the company that he is working for only three and one-half month is committing a fraud. The main reason that the caller is worried is because he is the controller of the company and he has to sign the quarterly statement of his privately-held company. Those quarterly statements are for the bank that his company has the line of credit, those statements have to look good so that the bank approve their credit. There are two big problems in the case. The first one is the as he started on the company he had to sign the closing of the prior fiscal year. If the fraud was being made in the last year, he could be treated like an accessory to the fraud because he signs the statements. The other problem is that the CEO and CFO, the highest in command, are the ones that are committing the fraud. I would recommend that the caller has to report the fraud to the FASB. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has been the designated organization in the private sector for establishing standards of financial accounting that governs the preparation of financial reports by nongovernmental organizations. Those standards are officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. If the caller continues to work in the company he could get caught committing the fraud and could go to jail. There are two risks if...

...1. First thing that is suspicious and worries me is not having any gain or loss. It is concerning the situation when you are not sure about what are the odds in knowing exactly the book value when you sold it. So, upon reviewing the gains and losses on disposals, you would be a bit alerted from an analytical procedures view. You would review the asset ledgers for large transactions and those near year end. You would inquire about what you did with the old registers when you noticed the new ones, like large purchase and when you saw that the purchaser was also the vendor who sold the new ones, you would be alerted. 2. A great method to find the violations is to look to the qualities and characteristics of financial reports. This exaggerated the price of the new registers so they were recorded at above fair value, which is a violation of GAAP. You are never allowed to record an asset above the fair value, this is not a faithful representation. Also, the transaction for the sale of the used registers was not a good faith arms-length transaction violated neutrality and reliability and therefore should have been examined for authenticity. That is, there were no real procedures for the used items and so the gain or loss was not properly calculated in accordance with GAAP. The transactions were also not faithfully disclosed because it was reported as a sale and purchase instead of a purchase and disposal of worthless used items. This was misleading to the reader and makes the financial...

The semester hours may be obtained through a discrete course or offered through an integrated approach.

...Danielle A. Smalls ACC 747 Advanced Topics in Auditing July 21, 2015 Case 1.1 Waste Management Case 1.1 Waste Management: The Expense Recognition Principle 1. The expense recognition principle also known as the “matching” principle is when expenses should be recognized in the same period as the revenues to which they relate. This principle is important to users of financial statements because if this principle is not followed stakeholders of a company can be deluded to thinking a company is earning profits when it really is not. Which would lead investors into investing in a company they normally would not. 2. Waste management violated the expense recognition principle by making numerous unsupported changes to the estimated useful lives and/or salvage values of one or more categories of vehicles, containers and equipment. Such changes reduced the amount of depreciation expense recorded in a particular period. An entry that may have been use by Waste Management for fraud would be a debit to the accumulated depreciation and a credit to the depreciation expense. 3. Paragraph 2 of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5 states “effective internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes. 3/ If one or more material weaknesses exist, the company's internal control over financial reporting cannot be considered effective. 4/”...

...history of auditing The evolution of auditing is a complicated history that has always been changing through historical events. Auditing always changed to meet the needs of the business environment of that day. Auditing has been around since the beginning of human civilization, focusing mainly, at first, on finding fraud. As the United States grew, the business world grew, and auditing began to play more important roles. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, people began to invest money into large corporations. The Stock Market crash of 1929 and various scandals made auditors realize that their roles in society were very important. Scandals and stock market crashes made auditors aware of deficiencies in auditing, and the auditing community was always quick to fix those deficiencies. The auditors’ job became more difficult as the accounting principles changed, and became easier with the use of internal controls. These controls introduced the need for testing; not an in-depth detailed audit. Auditing jobs would have to change to meet the changing business world. The invention of computers impacted the auditors’ world by making their job at times easier and at times making their job more difficult. Finally, the auditors’ job of certifying and testing companies’ financial statements is the backbone of the business world. Introduction Auditing has been the backbone of the complicated business world and has always changed with the times. As the business world grew strong, auditors’...

...Auditing, Attestation, and Assurance Services Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 3 ACC/491 February 25, 2013 Professor Thing Auditing, Attestation, and Assurance Services In the early part of the 1960s, research scientists, as part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, generated the concept that it was possible to create a globally interconnected collection of computers. Through this experiment, it was envisioned that everyone who could would be able to access data and programs quickly from any site (Elon University, 2013). Flashing forward to the world of today only five decades later, today’s world lives the benefits of these early visionaries. The database available for use by decision makers gives easy access to vast amounts of raw or filtered information. Access doors are computers, once filling a warehouse facility to do simple calculations, today available with unlimited information in a device smaller than an average hand. Amidst this quickly expanding information, available through the Internet and through other sources, the need is substantial for the reliability, the credibility, timeliness, and the relevance of the data. The better the quality of the information, the better off management, investors, and the agencies that regulate them are to make more informed decisions. The roles played by auditing, attestation, and assurance services help bridge the credibility and timeliness...
