Integrated Case Application: Part II Required (A)
Integrated Case Application: Part II Required (A)
PART II
REQUIRED (a):
• Management integrity
Client evaluation is an important element of quality control ASA 220 Quality
Control for Audits of Historical Financial Information. When management lacks
integrity, there is a greater likelihood that material errors and irregularities
may occur in the accounting process from which the financial statements are
prepared.
Item 6 in the planning phase, indicates that there is a high turnover
especially at the higher-level position in the internal audit departments. This
turnover may be intentional and increases the risk of fraudulent financial
reporting. For example, the internal auditors who were at a higher position were
fired because the auditor found out about the managements financial interest in
the entity.
REQUIRED (b):
Item 6: Since the management is changing its internal audit personnel, new members
would take time to understand the audit environment and lack experience. While in
the process the auditor can get critical information about the company and when
it’s put forward in the meeting, the auditor gets fired.
So the audit risk would be low since the auditors would not rely on management
representation, as the figures would be high or misrepresented.
