外文文献：This analysis used a case study methodology to analyze the issues surrounding the partial collapse of the roof of a building housing the headquarters of the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ). In particular, it examined the prior roles played by the team of construction professionals. The analysis revealed that the SAZ’s traditional construction project was generally characterized by high risk. There was a clear indication of the failure of a contractor and architects in preventing and/or mitigating potential construction problems as alleged by the plaintiff. It was reasonable to conclude that between them the defects should have been detected earlier and rectified in good time before the partial roof failure. It appeared justified for the plaintiff to have brought a negligence claim against both the contractor and the architects. The risk analysis facilitated, through its multi-dimensional approach to a critical examination of a construction problem, the identification of an effective risk management strategy for future construction prject and riskThe structural design of the reinforced concrete elements was done by consulting engineers Knight Piesold (KP). Quantity surveying services were provided by Hawkins, Leshnick & Bath (HLB). The contract was awarded to Central African Building Corporation (CABCO) who was also responsible for the provision of a specialist roof structure using patented “gang nail” roof trusses. The building construction proceeded to completion and was handed over to the owners on Sept. 12, 1991. The SAZ took effective occupation of the headquarters building without a certificate of occupation. Also, the defects liability period was only three months .The roof structure was in place 10 years At first the SAZ decided to go to arbitration, but this failed to yield an immediate solution. The SAZ then decided toproceed to litigate in court and to bring a negligence claim against CABCO. The preparation for arbitration was reused for litigation. The SAZ’s quantified losses stood at approximately $ 6 million in Zimbabwe dollars (US $1.2m) .After all parties had examined the facts and evidence before them, it became clear that there was a great probability that the courts might rule that both the architects and the contractor were lia ble. It was at this stage that the defendants’ lawyers requested that the matter be settled out of court. The plaintiff agreed to this suxamined the prior roles played by the project management function and construction professionals in preventing/mitigating potential construction problems. It further assessed the extent to which the employer/client and parties to a construction contract are able to recover damages under that contract. The main objective of this critical analysis was to identify an effective risk management strategy for future construction projects. The importance of this study is its multidimensional examination approach.Experience sugge be misleading. All construction projects are prototypes to some extent and imply change. Change in the construction industry itself suggests that past experience is unlikely to be sufficient on its own. A structured approach is required. Such a structure can not and must not replace the experience and expertise of the participant. Rather, it brings additional benefits that assist to clarify objectives, identify the nature of the uncertainties, introduces effective communication systems, improves decision-making, introduces effective risk control measures, protects the project objectives and provides knowledge of the risk history .Construction professionals need to know how to balance the contingencies of risk with their specific contractual, financial, operational and organizational requirements. Many construction professionals look at risks in dividually with a myopic lens and donot realize the potential impact that other associated risks may have on their business operations. Using a holistic risk management approach will enable a firm to identify all of the organization’s business risks. This will increas e the probability of risk mitigation, with the ultimate goal of total risk elimination .Recommended key construction and risk management strategies for future construction projects have been considered and their explanation follows. J.W. Hinchey stated th at there is and can be no ‘best practice’ standard for risk allocation on a high-profile project or for that matter, any project. He said, instead, successful risk management is a mind-set and a process. According to Hinchey, the ideal mind-set is for the parties and their representatives to, first, be intentional about identifying project risks and then to proceed to develop a systematic and comprehensive process for avoiding, mitigat and its location. This is said to be necessary not only to allow alternative responses to be explored. But also to ensure that the right questions are asked and the major risks identified. Heads of sources of risk are said to be a convenient way of providing a structure for identifying risks to completion of a participant’s pa rt of the project. Effective risk management is said to require a multi-disciplinary approach. Inevitably risk management requires examination of engineering, legal and insurance related solutions .It is stated that the use of analytical techniques based on a statistical approach could be of enormous use in decision making . Many of these techniques are said to be relevant to estimation of the consequences of risk events, and not how allocation of risk is to be achieved. In addition, at the present stage of the development of risk management, Atkinson states that it must be recognized that major decisions will be made that can not be based solely on mathematical analysis. The complexity ofconstruction projects means that the project definition in terms of both physical form and organizational structure will be based on consideration of only a relatively small number of risks . This is said to then allow a general structured approach that can be applied to any construction project to increase the awareness of participants .The new, simplified Construction Design and Management Regulations (CDM Regulations) which came in to f 1996, into a single regulatory package.The new CDM regulations offer an opportunity for a step change in health and safety performance and are used to reemphasize the health, safety and broader business benefits of a well-managed and co-ordinated approach to the management of health and safety in construction. I believe that the development of these skills is imperative to provide the client with the most effective services available, delivering the best value project possible.Construction Management at Risk (CM at Risk), similar to established private sector methods of construction contracting, is gaining popularity in the public sector. It is a process that allows a client to select a construction manager (CM) based on qualifications; make the CM a member of a collaborative project team; centralize responsibility for construction under a single contract; obtain a bonded guaranteed maximum price; produce a more manageable, predictable project; save time and money; and reduce risk for the client, the architect and the CM.CM at Risk, a more professional approach to construction, is taking its place along with design-build, bridging and the more traditional process of design-bid-build as an established method of project delivery.The AE can review to get the projec. Competition in the community is more equitable: all subcontractors have a fair shot at the work .A contingency within the GMP covers unexpected but justifiable costs, and a contingency above the GMP allows for client changes. As long as the subcontractors are within the GMP they are reimbursed to the CM, so the CM represents the client in negotiating inevitable changes with subcontractors.There can be similar problems where each party in a project is separately insured. For this reason a move towards project insurance is recommended. The traditional approach reinforces adversarial attitudes, and even provides incentives for people to overlook or conceal risks in an attempt to avoid or transfer responsibility.A contingency within the GMP covers unexpected but justifiable costs, and a contingency above the GMP allows for client changes.

They do not want surprises, and are more likely to engage in litigation when things go wrong.中文译文：国际建设工程风险分析索赔看来是合乎情理的。

InternalauditeffectivenessThe Instituteof Internal Auditors (IIA, 1999a) defined internal auditing as:an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add valueandimprove an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish itsobjectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improvetheeffectiveness of risk management, control, and governanceprocesses.This definition signifies that internal audit has undergone a paradigmshift froman emphasis on accountability about the past to improving future outcomes tohelpauditors operate more effectively and efficiently (Nagy and Canker, 2002; Stern,1994;Goodwin, 2004). Since, the definition equally serves both the private and thepublicsectors (Goodwin, 2004), it is used in this study as a basis to analyze publicsectorinternal auditeffectiveness.Internal audit is effective if it meets the intended outcome it is supposed tobringabout.Sawyer(1995)states,“…internalauditor'sjobisnotdoneuntildefectsarecorrecte d and remain corrected.”Van Hansberger (2005) explains that internalauditeffectiveness in the public sector should be evaluated by the extent to whichitcontributes to the demonstration of effective and efficient service delivery, asthisdrives the demand for improved internal audit services. Based on the results ofaconsultative forum that focused on improving public sector internal audit [1],VanHansberger (2005) identified perceptionsandownership; organizationandgovernance framework; legislation; improved professionalism; conceptualframework;and also resources as factors influencing internal audit effectiveness.Effectiveinternal audit undertakes an independent evaluation of financial andoperatinginformation and of systems and procedures, to provide useful recommendationsfor improvements asnecessary.The effectiveness of internal audit greatly contributes to the effectiveness ofeachauditor in particular andthe organization at large (Dittenhofer, 2001).Dittenhofer(2001) has also observed that if internal audit quality is maintained, it will contributeto the appropriateness of procedures and operations of the auditor, and therebyinternal audit contributes to effectiveness of the auditor and the organization asawhole. Using agency theory, Dingdong (1997) explained the role that internalauditplays in an economy and points out that internal audit has an advantage over externalauditin obtaining information quickly and finding problems at an earlier stage; and Sparkman (1997), applying the theory of transaction cost economics, demonstratedhow internal audit recommendations are important to the management ofgovernmentorganizations.Priorliteraturerelatingtointernalauditeffectivenesshaseitherfocusedontheinternal audit's ability to plan, execute and objectively communicate usefulfindings(Dingdong, 1997 Sparkman, 1997;Dittenhofer, 2001); or taken a broader viewandincluded factors that transcend the boundary of a single organization (VanHansberger,2005). This paper attempts to introduce a new perspective for evaluation of internalaudit effectiveness by identifying factors within an organization that impact onauditeffectiveness. A model, which assumes that there is a common interest to achieveorganizational goals for auditor management, top management and internal audit,isused for analysis of this case study. Since, audit effectiveness fosters theachievementof a common goal; there would be a natural incentive in an organization to improveit.The model considers four potential factors –internal audit quality,managementsupport, organizational setting, and auditor attributes to explain audit effectiveness,and shows how the interaction of these factors improves audit effectiveness.Internal audit quality, which is determined by the internal audit department'scapability to provide useful findings and recommendations, is central toauditeffectiveness. Internal audit has to prove that it is of value to the organization and earna reputation in the organization (Sawyer, 1995). Internal audit has to evaluateitsperformance and continually improve its service .audit quality is a function ofthelevelofstaffexpertise,thescopeofservicesprovidedandtheextenttowhichaudits areprope rlyplanned,executedandcommunicated.Audit findings and recommendations would not serve much purposeunlessmanagement is committed to implement them. Adams (1994) used agency theorytoexplain that it is in the interest of management to maintain a strong internalauditdepartment. Implementation of audit recommendations is highly relevant toauditeffectiveness (Van Hansberger, 2005) and the management of an organization isviewed as the customer receiving internal audit services. As a result,management'scommitment to useaudit recommendations and its support in strengthening internalauditis vital to audit effectiveness (Sawyer,1995).Organizational setting refers to the organizational profile, internal organizationand budgetary status of the internal audit office; and also the organizationalpoliciesand procedures that guide operation of auditors. It provides the context inwhichinternal audit operates. Thus, organizational setting can exert influence on the levelofeffectiveness that internal audit could achieve. The auditor attributes relate tothecapability of the auditor to meet its intended objectives. Auditor attributeswithimplications on audit effectiveness include the auditors' proficiency to efficientlyandeffectively meet organizational sub-goals; their attitude towards internal audit; andthelevel of cooperation provided to the auditor .Since, the four factors discussed aboveare intricately linked, audit effectiveness is a dynamic process that results fromtheeffect of each factor and the interplay among all. audit quality andmanagementsupport strongly affects audit effectiveness. Better audit effectiveness, in turn, hasapositivebearingonthesetwofactors.Ifinternalaudit enhancesqualitytotheextent itelicits management's interest, management support would be a natural quid proquobecause the management would realize the contribution of internal audit totheachievement of organizational goals. This would positively reflecton auditqualityand enhance audit effectiveness. The management's commitment to implementauditrecommendations improves the operation of the auditor, as a result of whichtheauditor attributes would improve to the benefit of audit effectiveness.Further,management retains the authority to improve the organizational setting andinfluencethe auditor towards a positive effect on audit effectiveness, whichin turn,benefitsauditquality.ConcludingcommentsThis study investigated the internal audit service of a large public sectorhighereducational institution, to identify factors influencing internal audit effectiveness,using a model developed for the analysis. The model consisted of fourinterrelatedfactors: internal audit quality; management support; the organizational setting;andattributes of theauditors.The findings of the study reveal that the internal audit office of theorganizationstudied needs to enhance the technical proficiency of the internal audit staffandminimizestaff turnover so as to foster audit effectiveness. The organizational statusand internal organization of the internal audit office are fairly rated, butinternalaudit'slackofauthorityonbudgetsreducesitscontrolofresourceacquisitionandutil ization.The scope of internal audit services is limited to regular activities.

In addition, the lack of attention by management may send awrongsignal about the importance of internal audit services to the audited, which in turnadversely affects the auditedattributes.The study has shown that internal audit of the organization studiedneedsimprovement in the areas of audit planning, documentation of audit work,auditcommunications and follow-up of recommendations. Audit effectiveness couldbeenhanced by ensuring consistency in documenting audit work to enableimprovedreview of audit work; proper follow-up of the status of audit findingsandrecommendations; increased distribution of audit reports; and further improvementinthe quality ofreporting.The limitation of this study is readily apparent.

Further, research could be welcome tofullyunderstand the level of internal audit effectiveness in the Ethiopian public sectorvis-à-vis its private sector, with a view to highlighting differences, if any,andconclusively defining the variables affecting internal audit effectiveness inEthiopia.译文简介内部审计的有效性，在何种程度上满足了内部审计处其存在的理由，可以说是一个四因素之间的相互作用的结果：内部审计质量，管理支持，组织设臵，以及受审核方属性。

Sampling is not used only in audit – is used in sampling surveys,market analysis and medical research in which someone wants to reach aconclusion about a large number of data by examining only a part of thesedata. The difference is the “population” from which the sample is selected, iethat set of data which is intended to draw a conclusion. Audit sampling appliesonly to certain types of audit procedures.Key words: sampling, sample risk, population, sampling unit, tests ofcontrols, substantive procedures.Statistical samplingCommittee statistical sampling of American Institute of CertifiedPublic Accountants of (AICPA) issued in 1962 a special report, titled“Statistical sampling and independent auditors’ which allowed the use ofstatistical sampling method, in accordance with Generally Accepted AuditingStandards (GAAS). During 1962-1974, the AICPA published a series of paperson statistical sampling, “Auditor’s Approach to Statistical Sampling”, foruse in continuing professional education of accountants. During 1962-1974,the AICPA published a series of papers on statistical sampling, “Auditor’sApproach to Statistical Sampling”, for use in continuing professional educationof accountants. In 1981, AICPA issued the professional standard, “AuditSampling”, which provides general guidelines for both sampling methods,statistical and non-statistical.Earlier audits included checks of all transactions in the period coveredby the audited financial statements. At that time, the literature has not givenparticular attention to this subject. Only in 1971, an audit procedures programprinted in the “Federal Reserve Bulletin (Federal Bulletin Stocks)” includedseveral references to sampling such as selecting the “few items” of inventory.Statistics and Audit The program was developed by a special committee, which later became the AICPA, that of Certified Public Accountants American Institute.In the first decades of last century, the auditors often applied sampling, but sample size was not in related to the efficiency of internal control of the entity. In 1955, American Institute of Accountants has published a study case of extending the audit sampling, summarizing audit program developed by certified public accountants, to show why sampling is necessary to extend the audit. The study was important because is one of the leading journal on sampling which recognize a relationship of dependency between detail and reliability testing of internal control.In 1964, the AICPA’s Auditing Standards Board has issued a report entitled “The relationship between statistical sampling and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS)” which illustrated the relationship between the accuracy and reliability in sampling and provisions of GAAS.In 1978, the AICPA published the work of Donald M. Roberts,“Statistical Auditing”which explains the underlying theory of statistical sampling in auditing.In 1981, AICPA issued the professional standard, named “Audit Sampling”, which provides guidelines for both sampling methods, statistical and non-statistical.An auditor does not rely solely on the results of a single procedure to reach a conclusion on an account balance, class of transactions or operational effectiveness of the controls. Rather, the audit findings are based on combined evidence from several sources, as a consequence of a number of different audit procedures. When an auditor selects a sample of a population, his objective is to obtain a representative sample, ie sample whose characteristics are identical with the population’s characteristics. This means that selected items are identical with those remaining outside the sample.In practice, auditors do not know for sure if a sample is representative, even after completion the test, but they “may increase the probability that a sample is representative by accuracy of activities made related to design, sample selection and evaluation” [1]. Lack of specificity of the sample results may be given by observation errors and sampling errors. Risks to produce these errors can be controlled.Observation error (risk of observation) appears when the audit test did not identify existing deviations in the sample or using an inadequate audit technique or by negligence of the auditor.Sampling error (sampling risk) is an inherent characteristic of the survey, which results from the fact that they tested only a fraction of the total population. Sampling error occurs due to the fact that it is possible for Revista Română de Statistică nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Auditthe auditor to reach a conclusion, based on a sample that is different from the conclusion which would be reached if the entire population would have been subject to audit procedures identical. Sampling risk can be reduced by adjusting the sample size, depending on the size and population characteristics and using an appropriate method of selection. Increasing sample size will reduce the risk of sampling; a sample of the all population will present a null risk of sampling.Audit Sampling is a method of testing for gather sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, for the purposes of audit. The auditor may decide to apply audit sampling on an account balance or class of transactions. Sampling audit includes audit procedures to less than 100% of the items within an account balance or class of transactions, so all the sample able to be selected. Auditor is required to determine appropriate ways of selecting items for testing. Audit sampling can be used as a statistical approach and a non- statistical.Statistical sampling is a method by which the sample is made so that each unit consists of the total population has an equal probability of being included in the sample, method of sample selection is random, allowed to assess the results based on probability theory and risk quantification of sampling. Choosing the appropriate population make that auditor’ findings can be extended to the entire population.Non-statistical sampling is a method of sampling, when the auditor uses professional judgment to select elements of a sample. Since the purpose of sampling is to draw conclusions about the entire population, the auditor should select a representative sample by choosing sample units which have characteristics typical of that population. Results will not extrapolate the entire population as the sample selected is representative.Audit tests can be applied on the all elements of the population, where is a small population or on an unrepresentative sample, where the auditor knows the particularities of the population to be tested and is able to identify a small number of items of interest to audit. If the sample has not similar characteristics for the elements of the entire population, the errors found in the tested sample can not extrapolate.Decision of statistical or non-statistical approach depends on the auditor’s professional judgment which seeking sufficient appropriate audits evidence on which to completion its findings about the audit opinion.As a statistical sampling method refer to the random selection that any possible combination of elements of the community is equally likely to enter the sample. Simple random sampling is used when stratification was not to audit. Using random selection involves using random numbers generated byRomanian Statistical Review nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Audit a computer. After selecting a random starting point, the auditor found the first random number that falls within the test document numbers. Only when the approach has the characteristics of statistical sampling, statistical assessments of risk are valid sampling.In another variant of the sampling probability, namely the systematic selection (also called random mechanical) elements naturally succeed in office space or time; the auditor has a preliminary listing of the population and made the decision on sample size. “The auditor calculated a counting step, and selects the sample element method based on step size. Step counting is determined by dividing the volume of the community to sample the number of units desired. Advantages of systematic screening are its usability. In most cases, a systematic sample can be extracted quickly and method automatically arranges numbers in successive series.”[2].Selection by probability proportional to size - is a method which emphasizes those population units’recorded higher values. The sample is constituted so that the probability of selecting any given element of the population is equal to the recorded value of the item;Stratifi ed selection - is a method of emphasis of units with higher values and is registered in the stratification of the population in subpopulations. Stratification provides a complete picture of the auditor, when population (data table to be analyzed) is not homogeneous. In this case, the auditor stratifies a population by dividing them into distinct subpopulations, which have common characteristics, pre-defined. “The objective of stratification is to reduce the variability of elements in each layer and therefore allow a reduction in sample size without a proportionate increase in the risk of sampling.” [3] If population stratification is done properly, the amount of sample size to come layers will be less than the sample size that would be obtained at the same level of risk given sample with a sample extracted from the entire population. Audit results applied to a layer can be designed only on items that are part of that layer.I appreciated as useful some views on non-statistical sampling methods, which implies that guided the selection of the sample selecting each element according to certain criteria determined by the auditor. The method is subjective; because the auditor selects intentionally items containing set features him.The selection of the series is done by selecting multiple elements series (successive). Using sampling the series is recommended only if a reasonable number of sets used. Using just a few series there is a risk that the sample is not representative. This type of sampling can be used in addition to other samples, where there is a high probability of occurrence of errors. At the arbitrary selection, no items are selected preferably from the auditor, Revista Română de Statistică nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Auditthat regardless of size or source or characteristics. Is not the recommended method, because is not objective.That sampling is based on the auditor’s professional judgment, which may decide which items can be part or not sampled. Because is not a statistical method, it can not calculate the standard error. Although the sample structure can be constructed to reproduce the population, there is no guarantee that the sample is representative. If omitted a feature that would be relevant in a particular situation, the sample is not representative.Sampling applies when the auditor plans to make conclusions about population, based on a selection. The auditor considers the audit program and determines audit procedures which may apply random research. Sampling is used by auditors an internal control systems testing, and substantive testing of operations. The general objectives of tests of control system and operations substantive tests are to verify the application of pre-defined control procedures, and to determine whether operations contain material errors.Control tests are intended to provide evidence of operational efficiency and controls design or operation of a control system to prevent or detect material misstatements in financial statements. Control tests are necessary if the auditor plans to assess control risk for assertions of management.Controls are generally expected to be similarly applied to all transactions covered by the records, regardless of transaction value. Therefore, if the auditor uses sampling, it is not advisable to select only high value transactions. Samples must be chosen so as to be representative population sample.An auditor must be aware that an entity may change a special control during the course of the audit. If the control is replaced by another, which is designed to achieve the same specific objective, the auditor must decide whether to design a sample of all transactions made during or just a sample of transactions controlled again. Appropriate decision depends on the overall objective of the audit test.Verification of internal control system of an entity is intended to provide guidance on the identification of relevant controls and design evaluation tests of controls.Other tests:In testing internal control system and testing operations, audit sample is used to estimate the proportion of elements of a population containing a characteristic or attribute analysis. This proportion is called the frequency of occurrence or percentage of deviation and is equal to the ratio of elements containing attribute specific and total number of population elements. WeightRomanian Statistical Review nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Audit deviations in a sample are determined to calculate an estimate of the proportion of the total population deviations.Risk associated with sampling - refers to a sample selection which can not be representative of the population tested. In other words, the sample itself may contain material errors or deviations from the line. However, issuing a conclusion based on a sample may be different from the conclusion which would be reached if the entire population would be subject to audit.Types of risk associated with sampling:Controls are more effective than they actually are or that there are not significant errors when they exist - which means an inappropriate audit opinion. Controls are less effective than they actually are that there are significant errors when in fact they are not - this calls for additional activities to establish that initial conclusions were incorrect.Attributes testing - the auditor should be defining the characteristics to test and conditions for misconduct. Attributes testing will make when required objective statistical projections on various characteristics of the population. The auditor may decide to select items from a population based on its knowledge about the entity and its environment control based on risk analysis and the specific characteristics of the population to be tested.Population is the mass of data on which the auditor wishes to generalize the findings obtained on a sample. Population will be defined compliance audit objectives and will be complete and consistent, because results of the sample can be designed only for the population from which the sample was selected.Sampling unit - a unit of sampling may be, for example, an invoice, an entry or a line item. Each sample unit is an element of the population. The auditor will define the sampling unit based on its compliance with the objectives of audit tests.Sample size - to determine the sample size should be considered whether sampling risk is reduced to an acceptable minimum level. Sample size is affected by the risk associated with sampling that the auditor is willing to accept it. The risk that the auditor is willing to accept lower, the sample will be higher.Error - for detailed testing, the auditor should project monetary errors found in the sample population and should take into account the projected error on the specific objective of the audit and other audit areas. The auditor projects the total error on the population to get a broad perspective on the size of the error and comparing it with tolerable error.For detailed testing, tolerable error is tolerable and misrepresentations Revista Română de Statistică nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Auditwill be a value less than or equal to materiality used by the auditor for the individual classes of transactions or balances audited. If a class of transactions or account balances has been divided into layers error is designed separately for each layer. Design errors and inconsistent errors for each stratum are then combined when considering the possible effect on the total classes of transactions and account balances.Evaluation of sample results - the auditor should evaluate the sample results to determine whether assessing relevant characteristics of the population is confirmed or needs to be revised.When testing controls, an unexpectedly high rate of sample error may lead to an increase in the risk assessment of significant misrepresentation unless it obtained additional audit evidence to support the initial assessment. For control tests, an error is a deviation from the performance of control procedures prescribed. The auditor should obtain evidence about the nature and extent of any significant changes in internal control system, including the staff establishment.If significant changes occur, the auditor should review the understanding of internal control environment and consider testing the controls changed. Alternatively, the auditor may consider performing substantive analytical procedures or tests of details covering the audit period.In some cases, the auditor might not need to wait until the end audit to form a conclusion about the effectiveness of operational control, to support the control risk assessment. In this case, the auditor might decide to modify the planned substantive tests accordingly.If testing details, an unexpectedly large amount of error in a sample may cause the auditor to believe that a class of transactions or account balances is given significantly wrong in the absence of additional audit evidence to show that there are not material misrepresentations.When the best estimate of error is very close to the tolerable error, the auditor recognizes the risk that another sample have different best estimate that could exceed the tolerable error.ConclusionsFollowing analysis of sampling methods conclude that all methods have advantages and disadvantages. But the auditor is important in choosing the sampling method is based on professional judgment and take into account the cost / benefit ratio. Thus, if a sampling method proves to be costly auditor should seek the most efficient method in view of the main and specific objectives of the audit.Romanian Statistical Review nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Audit The auditor should evaluate the sample results to determine whether the preliminary assessment of relevant characteristics of the population must be confirmed or revised. If the evaluation sample results indicate that the relevant characteristics of the population needs assessment review, the auditor may: require management to investigate identified errors and likelihood of future errors and make necessary adjustments to change the nature, timing and extent of further procedures to take into account the effect on the audit report.Selective bibliography:[1] Law no. 672/2002 updated, on public internal audit[2] Arens, A şi Loebbecke J - Controve …Audit– An integrate approach”, 8th edition, Arc Publishing House[3] ISA 530 - Financial Audit 2008 - International Standards on Auditing, IRECSON Publishing House, 2009- Dictionary of macroeconomics, Ed C.H.

Independent audit risk analysis and preventive measures AbstractPrevious studies have utilized a variety of approaches to determine appropriate criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal audit function. For example, considered the degree of compliance with standards as one of the factors which affects internal audit performance. A 1988 research report from the IIA-United Kingdom（IIA-UK，1988）focused on the perceptions of both senior management and external auditors of the value of the internal audit function. The study identified the difficulty of measuring the value of services provided as a major obstacle to such an evaluation. Profitability, cost standards and the effectiveness of resource utilization were identified as measures of the value of services. In its recommendations it highlighted the need to ensure that audit work complies with SPPIA.In the US, Albrecht et al.(1988)studied the roles and benefits of the internal audit function and developed a framework for the purpose of evaluating internal audit effectiveness. They found that there were four areas that the directors of internal audit departments could develop to enhance effectiveness: an appropriate corporate environment, top management support, high quality internal audit staff and high quality internal audit work. The authors stressed that management and auditors should recognize the internal audit function as a value-adding function to the organization. In the UK, Ridley and D’Silva (1997) identified the importance of complying with professional standards as the most important contributor to the internal audit function adding value.Key wordsAudit,Risk, Internal Control, AuditingCompliance with SPPIAA number of studies have focused on the SPPIA standard concerned with independence.Clark et al.(1981) found that the independence of the internal audit department and the level of authority to which internal audit staff report were the two most important criteria influencing the objectivity of their work. Plumlee (1985) focused on potential threats to internal auditor objectivity,particularly whether participation in the design of an internal control system influenced judgements as to the quality and effectiveness of that system. Plumlee found that such design involvement produced bias that could ultimately threaten objectivity.The relationship between the internal audit function and company management more generally is clearly an important factor in determining internal auditor objectivity. Harrell et al. (1989) suggested that perceptions of the views and desires of management could influence the activities and judgement of internal auditors. Also, they found that internal auditors who were members of the IIA were less likely to succumb to such pressure.Ponemon (1991) examined the question of whether or not internal auditors will report sensitive issues uncovered during the course of their work. He concluded that the three factors affecting internal auditor objectivity were their social position in the organization, their relationship with management and the existence of a communication channel to report wrongdoing.The independence of internal audit departmentsCommentators and standard setters identify independence as being a key attribute of the internal audit department. From the questionnaire responses 60 (77%) of the internal audit departments stated that there was a written document defining the purpose, authority and responsibility of the department. In nearly all instances where there was such a document the terms of reference of the internal audit department had been agreed by senior management (93%), the document identified the role of the internal audit department in the organization, and its rights of access to individuals, records and assets (97%), and the document set out the scope of internal auditing (90%). Respondents were asked to assess the extent to which the relevant document was consistent with the specific requirements of SPPIA. In those departments where such a document existed 27 (45%) claimed full compliance with SPPIA, 23 (38%) considered their document to be partially consistent with SPPIA. In more than one-third of the departments surveyed either no such document existed (n=18,23%) or the respondent was not aware whether or not the document complied with SPPIA (n=10, 13%).SPPIA suggests that independence is enhanced when the organization’s board of directors concurs with the appointment or removal of the director of the internal audit department, and that the director of the internal audit department is responsible to an individual of suitable seniority within the organization. It is noticeable that in 47 companies (60%) their responsibilities with regard to appointment, removal and the receipt of reports lay with non-senior management, normally a general manager. SPPIA recommends that the director of the internal audit department should have direct communication with the board of directors to ensure that the department is independent, and provides a means for the director of internal auditing and the board of directors to keep each other informed on issues of mutual interest. The interviews with directors of internal audit departments showed that departments tended to report to general managers rather than the board of directors. Further evidence of the lack of access to the board of directors was provided by the questionnaire responses showing that in almost half the companies, members of the internal audit department have never attended board meetings and in only two companies did attendance take place regularly.Unrestricted access to documentation and unfettered powers of enquiry are important aspects of the independence and effectiveness of internal audit. The questionnaire responses revealed that 34 (44%) internal audit directors considered that they did not have full access to all necessary information. Furthermore, a significant minority (n=11, 14%) did not believe they were free, in all instances, to report faults, frauds, wrongdoing or mistakes. A slightly higher number (n=17, 22%) considered that the internal audit function did not always receive consistent support from senior management.SPPIA identifies that involvement in the design, installation and operating of systems is likely to impair internal auditor objectivity. Respondents were asked how often management requested the assistance of the internal audit department in the performance of non-audit duties. In 37 internal auditdepartments (47%) surveyed such requests were made sometimes, often or always, and only 27 (35%) departments never participated in these non-audit activities. The interviews revealed that in some organizations internal audit staff was used regularly to cover for staff shortages in other departments.Woodworth and Said (1996)sought to ascertain the views of internal auditors in Saudi Arabia as to whether there were differences in the reaction of auditees to specific internal audit situations according to the nationality of the auditee. Based on 34 questionnaire responses from members of the IIA Dhahran chapter, they found there were no significant differences between the different nationalities. The internal auditors did not modify their audit conduct according to the nationality of the auditee and cultural dimensions did not have a significant impact on the results of the audit.Given the importance of complying with SPPIA, the professional and academic literature emphasizes the importance of the relationship between the internal audit department and the rest of the organization in determining the success or otherwise of internal audit departments (Mints,1972;Flesher,1996;Ridley & Chambers,1998 and Moeller & Witt,1999). This literature focuses on the need for co-operation and teamwork between the auditor and auditee if internal auditing is to be effective.Bethea (1992) suggests that the need f or good human relations’ skills is important because internal auditing creates negative perceptions and negative attitudes. These issues are particularly important in a multicultural business environment such as Saudi Arabia where there are significant differences in the cultural and educational background of the auditors and auditees Woodworth and Said (1996). Reasons for not having an internal audit departmentOf the 92 company interviews examining the reasons why companies do not have an internal audit function, the most frequent response from 52 companies (57%) was that reliance on the external auditor enabled the company to obtain the benefits that might be obtained from internal audit. Typically, interviewees argued that the external auditor is better, more efficient and saves money. Interviews with the external auditors revealed that client companies could notdistinguish clearly between the work and roles of internal and external audit. For example, one external auditor said,there is a misperception of what the external auditor does, they think the external auditor does everything for the company and must discover any problem.Having said this, one external auditor doubted that an internal audit function would add value in all circumstances. When referring to the internal control system he stated,as long as they are happy with the final output, I think the internal audit function will not add value. External auditing eventually will highlight any significant internal control weakness.The second most frequent reason mentioned by interviewees (23 firms, 25%) for not operating an internal audit department was the cost/benefit trade-off. Specifically, 17 firms considered that the small size of the company and the limited nature of its activities meant that it would not be efficient for them to have an internal audit department. The external auditors interviewed were of the opinion that the readily identifiable costs as compared with the more difficult to measure benefits was a factor contributing to this decision.A number of other reasons were given by interviewees for not having an internal audit department. As a consequence of the high costs of conducting internal audit activities, 14 firms used employees who were not within a separate internal audit department to carry out internal audit duties. Eight companies did not think there was a need for internal audit because they believed their internal control systems were sufficient to obviate the need for internal audit. Five companies did not think that internal audit was an important activity and three felt that their type of the business did not require internal audit. Three respondents mentioned that they did not operate an internal audit department because professional people could not be found to run the department, and six companies did not provide a reason for not having an internal audit department. In 10 companies an internal audit dInternal audit risks include the inherent risks and control risks. The inherent risks is the assumption that has nothing to do with internal accountingcontrols, the units being audited financial statements and the overall balance of the account of a business or the possibility of a major error, that is caused by the audit unit economic characteristics of business and accounting work itself the formation of the lack of audit risk. Some enterprises such as the lack of due attention to the accounting system, account system complex, reducing clarity of accounting information, reports, use of difficulty, cost, cost of lack of cost accounting concepts. Control risk refers to as a result of inadequate internal control system perfect, weak internal control behavior, not timely detection and correction of a business account or a major error in the formation of audit risk. Sometimes, even if the auditors audited units to confirm the internal control system is unreasonable or out of control in key areas, the amendments proposed by the audit can really suitable for operating activities, but will also create a risk amendment.First, the internal audit risk causes1. The independence of the internal audit agency enoughInternal audit body is set up units in institutions, in the unit under the leadership of the responsible persons to work as a unit of service. Therefore, the independence of internal audit as social audit, the audit process, inevitably affected the interests of the unit constraints. OIA staff faced with the unit leadership was among the leadership and the leadership of the relationship, as well as with various sections, the relationship between colleagues, people are not involved in the leadership of my colleagues is, non-directly related to also indirectly related to the audit process and conclusions will inevitably involve the interests of specific individuals, which inevitably affected the audit process for all categories of personnel interference.2. Internal audit operations personnel ill-equippedThe quality of auditors is to determine the size of audit risk factors. The quality of the audit including those engaged in the audit of the policies and regulations need to level of expertise, experience, skills, audit professional ethics and work responsibilities.Audit experience, the audit staff should have an important skill, the need for the audit practice of the accumulation of experience. China's internal audit staff, many people only familiar with the financial and accounting operations, some auditors do not understand the business activities of this unit and internal controls, audit limited experience. In addition, the internal audit staff responsibilities and professional ethics is the impact of audit risk factors. Because of China's internal guidelines for the work of norms and ethical standards still some gaps, and many internal organs and personnel lack of occupational norms bound and guidance. In short, China's overall quality of the low OIA staff and directly affected the internal audit work carried out by the depth and breadth. Faced with the complexity of today's OIA object and content development, internal audit staff and powerful single force book, which will directly lead to the selection of audit risk.3. Internal audit of the scientific method is not strongChina's system of internal audit is the basis of the audit, with the internal operation and management of environmental complicated models are not suited to carry out this audit internal management audit of the needs, because it is overly dependent on the internal management of enterprises controlled test, in itself a huge potential the risk of internal audit generally use statistical sampling methods, as a result of the sample itself is based on a sample audit of the results of the review can be inferred from the general characteristics, therefore, between the samples and the overall form is bound to a certain degree of error, the formation of audit sampling risk. With the degree of information technology improved, the audited accounting information will be more and more errors and false accounting information doped them, and failed to investigate the possibility of also increasing. Although the survey sample is built on the solid foundation of mathematical theory, but its existence is to allow a certain degree of audit risk. Similarly, a large number of analytical review will also have associated risks, so that the composition of the contents of audit risk is more complicated.4. Internal Audit management systemsInternal audit management system construction and implementation of internal audit is the prerequisite and foundation. Sound and effective internal management system to detect and control of enterprise economic activity occurring in a variety of errors and fraud. To ensure the quality of internal audit, internal audit organizations should establish a perfect quality control system, however, some audit institutions still lack of prior audit plan, a matter of auditing procedures and audit review of the reporting period; the audit working papers incomplete, generally only Records of audit matters, not the recording of audit staff that the correct audit matters, making the audit review, audit quality control no way; to coordinate the relationship between the audit report as a starting point to certain performance-based, qualitative ambiguous issues. More than the existence of the status quo, making the internal audit quality assurance become an empty talk, let alone ward off risks.Second, reduce the risk of internal audit ways1. Strengthen the internal audit of the legal systemImprove and perfect the legal system for the audit of internal audit is the basis of risk control measures. Audit norms, the audit staff code of conduct and guidelines, not only to control and reduce audit risk, but also to measure auditors liability standards. China's internal audit late start compared with Western countries in the relevant system-building there are many imperfections. In order to adapt to the continuous development of modern internal audit requirements, it is necessary to strengthen the audit work of legalization and standardization construction to minimize the audit work of blindness and randomness.2. To ensure the independence of internal auditThe independence of the internal auditor can make a fair and impartial professional judgment, which is appropriate to carry out the audit work is essential. The independence of internal audit bodies connotation should be reflected mainly in the form of independence and de facto independence in twoways. Formal independence requirements of internal audit in the organization of organizations with high status, the internal auditor should have access to senior management and board of directors support. Essentially refers to an independent internal audit staff in the spirit of the need to maintain the necessary independence, should be a fair and just manner and avoid conflicts of interest, in carrying out internal audit work, to maintain an honest belief in compliance with the Code of Ethics for the entire audit process does not make a significant compromise.Access to senior management and board of directors support.

毕业设计附件外文文献翻译：原文+译文文献出处：Chaudhuri S. Big data，cloud computing technology and the audit[J]. IT Professional Magazine, 2016, 2(4): 38-51.原文Big data，cloud computing technology and the auditChaudhuri SAbstractAt present, large data along with the development of cloud computing technology, is a significant impact on global economic and social life. Big data and cloud computing technology to modern audit provides a new technology and method of auditing organizations and audit personnel to grasp the big data, content and characteristics of cloud computing technology, to promote the further development of the modern audit technology and method.Keywords: big data, cloud computing technology, audit, advice1 Related concept1.1 Large dataThe word "data" (data) is the meaning of "known" in Latin, can also be interpreted as "fact”. In 2009, the concept of “big data” gradually begins to spread in society. The concept of "big data" truly become popular, it is because the Obama administration in 2012 high-profile announced its "big data research and development plan”. It marks the era of "big data" really began to enter the social economic life.” Big data" (big data), or "huge amounts of data, refers to the amount of data involved too big to use the current mainstream software tools, in a certain period of time to realize collection, analysis, processing, or converted to help decision-makers decision-making information available. Internet data center (IDC) said "big data" is for the sake of more economical, more efficient from high frequency, large capacity, different structures and types of data to derive value and design of a new generation of architecture and technology, and use it to describe and define the information explosion times produce huge amounts of data, and name the related technology development and innovation. Big data has four characteristics: first, the data volume is huge, jumped from TB level to the level of PB.Second, processing speed, the traditionaldata mining technology are fundamentally different. Third, many data types’pictures, location information, video, web logs, and other forms. Fourth, the value of low density, high commercial value.1.2 Cloud computing"Cloud computing" concept was created in large Internet companies such as Google and IBM handle huge amounts of data in practice. On August 9, 2006, Google CEO Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) in the search engine assembly for the first time put forward the concept of "cloud computing”. In October 2007, Google and IBM began in the United States university campus to promote cloud computing technology plan, the project hope to reduce the cost of distributed computing technology in academic research, and provide the related hardware and software equipment for these universities and technical support (Michael Mille, 2009).The world there are many about the definition of "cloud computing”.” Cloud computing" is the increase of the related services based on Internet, use and delivery mode, is through the Internet to provide dynamic easy extension and often virtualized resources. American national standards institute of technology (NIST) in 2009 about cloud computing is defined as: "cloud computing is a kind of pay by usage pattern, this pattern provides available, convenient, on-demand network access, enter the configurable computing resources Shared pool resources (including network, servers, storage, applications, services, etc.), these resources can be quick to provide, just in the management of the very few and or little interaction with service providers."1.3 The relationship between big data and cloud computingOverall, big data and cloud computing are complementary to each other. Big data mainly focus on the actual business, focus on "data", provide the technology and methods of data collection, mining and analysis, and emphasizes the data storage capacity. Cloud computing focuses on "computing", pay attention to IT infrastructure, providing IT solutions, emphasizes the ability to calculate, the data processing ability. If there is no large data storage of data, so the cloud computing ability strong again, also hard to find a place; If there is no cloud computing ability of data processing, the big data storage of data rich again, and ultimately, used in practice. From a technical point of view, large data relies on the cloud computing. Huge amounts of data storage technology, massive data management technology, graphs programming model is the key technology of cloud computing, are also big data technology base. And the data will be "big", themost important is the technology provided by the cloud computing platform. After the data is on the "cloud", broke the past their segmentation of data storage, more easy to collect and obtain, big data to present in front of people. From the focus, the emphasis of the big data and cloud computing. The emphasis of the big data is all sorts of data, broad, deep huge amounts of data mining, found in the data value, forcing companies to shift from "business-driven" for "data driven”. And the cloud is mainly through the Internet, extension, and widely available computing and storage resources and capabilities, its emphasis is IT resources, processing capacity and a variety of applications, to help enterprises save IT deployment costs. Cloud computing the benefits of the IT department in enterprise, and big data benefit enterprise business management department.2 Big data and cloud computing technology analysis of the influence of the audit2.1 Big data and cloud computing technology promote the development of continuous audit modeIn traditional audit, the auditor only after completion of the audited business audit, and audit process is not audit all data and information, just take some part of the audit. This after the event, and limited audit on the audited complex production and business operation and management system is difficult to make the right evaluation in time, and for the evaluation of increasingly frequent and complex operation and management activities of the authenticity and legitimacy is too slow. Along with the rapid development of information technology, more and more audit organization began to implement continuous audit way, to solve the problem of the time difference between audit results and economic activity. However, auditors for audit, often limited by current business conditions and information technology means, the unstructured data to digital, or related detail data cannot be obtained, the causes to question the judgment of the are no specific further and deeper. And big data and cloud computing technology can promote the development of continuous audit mode, make the information technology and big data and cloud computing technology is better, especially for the business data and risk control "real time" to demand higher specific industry, such as banking, securities, insurance industry, the continuous audit in these industries is imminent.2.2 Big data and cloud computing technology to promote the application of overall audit modeThe current audit mode is based on the evaluation of audit risk to implement sampling audit. In impossible to collect and analyze the audited all economic business data, the current audit modemainly depends on the audit sampling, from the perspective of the local inference as a whole, namely to extract the samples from working on the audit, and then deduced the whole situation of the audit object. The sampling audit mode, due to the limited sample drawn, and ignored the many and the specific business activity, the auditors cannot find and reveal the audited major fraud, hidden significant audit risks. Big data and cloud computing technology for the auditor, is not only a technical means are available, the technology and method will provide the auditor with the feasibility of implementing overall audit mode. Using big data and cloud computing technology, cross-industry, across the enterprise to collect and analysis of the data, can need not random sampling method, and use to collect and analyze all the data of general audit mode. Use of big data and cloud computing technology overall audit mode is to analyze all the data related to the audit object allows the auditor to establish overall audit of the thinking mode; can make the modern audit for revolutionary change. Auditors to implement overall audit mode, can avoid audit sampling risk. If could gather all the data in general, you can see more subtle and in-depth information, deep analysis of the data in multiple perspectives, to discover the hidden details in the data information of value to the audit problem. At the same time, the auditor implement overall audit mode, can be found from the audit sampling mode can find problems.2.3 Big data and cloud computing technology for integrated application of the audit resultsAt present, the auditor audit results is mainly provided to the audit report of the audited, its format is fixed, single content, contains less information. As the big data and cloud computing technology is widely used in the audit, the auditor audit results in addition to the audit report, and in the process of audit collection, mining, analysis and processing of large amounts of information and data, can be provided to the audited to improve management, promote the integrated application of the audit results, improve the comprehensive application effect of the audit results. First of all, the auditor in the audit to obtain large amounts of data and related information of summary and induction, financial, business and find the inner rules of operation and management etc, common problems and development trend, through the summary induces a macroscopic and comprehensive strong audit information, to provide investors and other stakeholders audited data prove that, correlation analysis and decision making Suggestions, thus promoting the improvement of the audited management level. Second, auditors by using big data and cloud computing technology can be the same problem in different category analysis and processing, from a differentAngle and different level of integration of refining to satisfy the needs of different levels. Again, the auditor will audit results for intelligent retained, by big data and cloud computing technology, to regulation and curing the problem in the system, in order to calculate or determine the problem developing trend, an early warning of the auditees.3 Big data and cloud computing technology promote the relationship between the applications of evidenceAuditors in the audit process should be based on sufficient and appropriate audit evidence audit opinion, and issue the audit report. However, under the big data and cloud computing environment, auditors are faced with both a huge amount data screening test, and facing the challenge of collecting appropriate audit evidence. Auditors when collecting audit evidence, the traditional thinking path is to collect audit evidence, based on the causal relationship between the big data analysis will be more use of correlation analysis to gather and found that the audit evidence. But from the perspective of audit evidence found, because of big data technology provides an unprecedented interdisciplinary, quantitative dimensions available, made a lot of relevant information to the audit records and analysis. Big data and cloud computing technology has not changed the causal relationship between things, but in the big data and cloud computing technology the development and use of correlation, makes the analysis of data dependence on causal logic relationship is reduced, and even more inclined to application based on the analysis of correlation data, on the basis of correlation analysis of data validation is large, one of the important characteristics of cloud computing technology. In the big data and cloud computing environment, the auditor can collect audit evidence are mostly electronic evidence. Electronic evidence itself is very complex, and cloud computing technology makes it more difficult to obtain evidence of the causal. Auditors should collect from long-term dependence on cause and effect and found that the audit evidence, into a correlation is used to collect and found that the audit evidence.译文大数据、云计算技术与审计Chaudhuri S摘要目前，大数据伴随着云计算技术的发展，正在对全球经济社会生活产生巨大的影响。

How Important is Financial Risk?IntroductionThe financial crisis of 2008 has brought significant attention to the effects of financial leverage. There is no doubt that the high levels of debt financing by financial institutions and households significantly contributed to the crisis. Indeed, evidence indicates that excessive leverage orchestrated by major global banks (e.g., through the mortgage lending and collateralized debt obligations) and the so-called “shadow banking system” may be the underlying cau se of the recent economic and financial dislocation. Less obvious is the role of financial leverage among nonfinancial firms. To date, problems in the U.S. non-financial sector have been minor compared to the distress in the financial sector despite the seizing of capital markets during the crisis. For example, non-financial bankruptcies have been limited given that the economic decline is the largest since the great depression of the 1930s. In fact, bankruptcy filings of non-financial firms have occurred mostly in U.S. industries (e.g., automotive manufacturing, newspapers, and real estate) that faced fundamental economic pressures prior to the financial crisis. This surprising fact begs the question, “How important is financial risk for non-financial firms?” At the heart of this issue is the uncertainty about the determinants of total firm risk as well as components of firm risk.StudyRecent academic research in both asset pricing and corporate finance has rekindled an interest in analyzing equity price risk. A current strand of the asset pricing literature examines the finding of Campbell et al. (2001) that firm-specific (idiosyncratic) risk has tended to increase over the last 40 years. Other work suggests that idiosyncratic risk may be a priced risk factor (see Goyal and Santa-Clara, 2003, among others). Also related to these studies is work by Pástor and Veronesi (2003) showing how investor uncertainty about firm profitability is an important determinant of idiosyncratic risk and firm value. Other research has examined the role of equity volatility in bond pricing (e.g., Dichev, 1998, Campbell, Hilscher, and Szilagyi, 2008).However, much of the empirical work examining equity price risk takes the risk of assets as given or tries to explain the trend in idiosyncratic risk. In contrast, thispaper takes a different tack in the investigation of equity price risk. First, we seek to understand the determinants of equity price risk at the firm level by considering total risk as the product of risks inherent in the firms operations (i.e., economic or business risks) and risks associated with financing the firms operations (i.e., financial risks). Second, we attempt to assess the relative importance of economic and financial risks and the implications for financial policy.Early research by Modigliani and Miller (1958) suggests that financial policy may be largely irrelevant for firm value because investors can replicate many financial decisions by the firm at a low cost (i.e., via homemade leverage) and well-functioning capital markets should be able to distinguish between financial and economic distress. Nonetheless, financial policies, such as adding debt to the capital structure, can magnify the risk of equity. In contrast, recent research on corporate risk management suggests that firms may also be able to reduce risks and increase value with financial policies such as hedging with financial derivatives. However, this research is often motivated by substantial deadweight costs associated with financial distress or other market imperfections associated with financial leverage. Empirical research provides conflicting accounts of how costly financial distress can be for a typical publicly traded firm.We attempt to directly address the roles of economic and financial risk by examining determinants of total firm risk. In our analysis we utilize a large sample of non-financial firms in the United States. Our goal of identifying the most important determinants of equity price risk (volatility) relies on viewing financial policy as transforming asset volatility into equity volatility via financial leverage. Thus, throughout the paper, we consider financial leverage as the wedge between asset volatility and equity volatility. For example, in a static setting, debt provides financial leverage that magnifies operating cash flow volatility. Because financial policy is determined by owners (and managers), we are careful to examine the effects of firms’ asset and operating characteristics on financial policy. Specifically, we examine a variety of characteristics suggested by previous research and, as clearly as possible, distinguish between those associated with the operations of the company (i.e. factors determining economic risk) and those associated with financing the firm (i.e. factors determining financial risk). We then allow economic risk to be a determinant of financial policy in the structural framework of Leland and Toft (1996), or alternatively,in a reduced form model of financial leverage. An advantage of the structural model approach is that we are able to account for both the possibility of financial and operating implications of some factors (e.g., dividends), as well as the endogenous nature of the bankruptcy decision and financial policy in general.Our proxy for firm risk is the volatility of common stock returns derived from calculating the standard deviation of daily equity returns. Our proxies for economic risk are designed to capture the essential characteristics of the firms’ operations and assets that determine the cash flow generating process for the firm. For example, firm size and age provide measures of line of- business maturity; tangible assets (plant, property, and equipment) serve as a proxy for the ‘hardness’ of a firm’s assets; capital expenditures measure capital intensity as well as growth potential. Operating profitability and operating profit volatility serve as measures of the timeliness and riskiness of cash flows. To understand how financial factors affect firm risk, we examine total debt, debt maturity, dividend payouts, and holdings of cash and short-term investments.The primary result of our analysis is surprising: factors determining economic risk for a typical company explain the vast majority of the variation in equity volatility. Correspondingly, measures of implied financial leverage are much lower than observed debt ratios. Specifically, in our sample covering 1964-2008 average actual net financial (market) leverage is about 1.50 compared to our estimates of between 1.03 and 1.11 (depending on model specification and estimation technique). This suggests that firms may undertake other financial policies to manage financial risk and thus lower effective leverage to nearly negligible levels. These policies might include dynamically adjusting financial variables such as debt levels, debt maturity, or cash holdings (see, for example, Acharya, Almeida, and Campello, 2007). In addition, many firms also utilize explicit financial risk management techniques such as the use of financial derivatives, contractual arrangements with investors (e.g. lines of credit, call provisions in debt contracts, or contingencies in supplier contracts), special purpose vehicles (SPVs), or other alternative risk transfer techniques.The effects of our economic risk factors on equity volatility are generally highly statistically significant, with predicted signs. In addition, the magnitudes of the effects are substantial. We find that volatility of equity decreases with the size and age of the firm. This is intuitive since large and mature firms typically have more stable lines ofbusiness, which should be reflected in the volatility of equity returns. Equity volatility tends to decrease with capital expenditures though the effect is weak. Consistent with the predictions of Pástor and Veronesi (2003), we find that firms with higher profitability and lower profit volatility have lower equity volatility. This suggests that companies with higher and more stable operating cash flows are less likely to go bankrupt, and therefore are potentially less risky. Among economic risk variables, the effects of firm size, profit volatility, and dividend policy on equity volatility stand out. Unlike some previous studies, our careful treatment of the endogeneity of financial policy confirms that leverage increases total firm risk. Otherwise, financial risk factors are not reliably related to total risk.Given the large literature on financial policy, it is no surprise that financial variables are,at least in part, determined by the economic risks firms take. However, some of the specific findings are unexpected. For example, in a simple model of capital structure, dividend payouts should increase financial leverage since they represent an outflow of cash from the firm (i.e., increase net debt). We find that dividends are associated with lower risk. This suggests that paying dividends is not as much a product of financial policy as a characteristic of a firm’s operations(e.g., a mature company with limited growth opportunities). We also estimate how sensitivities to different risk factors have changed over time. Our results indicate that most relations are fairly stable. One exception is firm age which prior to 1983 tends to be positively related to risk and has since been consistently negatively related to risk. This is related to findings by Brown and Kapadia (2007) that recent trends in idiosyncratic risk are related to stock listings by younger and riskier firms.Perhaps the most interesting result from our analysis is that our measures of implied financial leverage have declined over the last 30 years at the same time that measures of equity price risk (such as idiosyncratic risk) appear to have been increasing. In fact, measures of implied financial leverage from our structural model settle near 1.0 (i.e., no leverage) by the end of our sample. There are several possible reasons for this. First, total debt ratios for non-financial firms have declined steadily over the last 30 years, so our measure of implied leverage should also decline. Second, firms have significantly increased cash holdings, so measures of net debt (debt minus cash and short-term investments) have also declined. Third, the composition of publicly traded firms has changed with more risky (especially technology-oriented)firms becoming publicly listed. These firms tend to have less debt in their capital structure. Fourth, as mentioned above, firms can undertake a variety of financial risk management activities. To the extent that these activities have increased over the last few decades, firms will have become less exposed to financial risk factors.We conduct some additional tests to provide a reality check of our results. First, we repeat our analysis with a reduced form model that imposes minimum structural rigidity on our estimation and find very similar results. This indicates that our results are unlikely to be driven by model misspecification. We also compare our results with trends in aggregate debt levels for all U.S. non-financial firms and find evidence consistent with our conclusions. Finally, we look at characteristics of publicly traded non-financial firms that file for bankruptcy around the last three recessions and find evidence suggesting that these firms are increasingly being affected by economic distress as opposed to financial distress.ConclusionIn short, our results suggest that, as a practical matter, residual financial risk is now relatively unimportant for the typical U.S. firm. This raises questions about the level of expected financial distress costs since the probability of financial distress is likely to be lower than commonly thought for most companies. For example, our results suggest that estimates of the level of systematic risk in bond pricing may be biased if they do not take into account the trend in implied financial leverage (e.g., Dichev, 1998). Our results also bring into question the appropriateness of financial models used to estimate default probabilities, since financial policies that may be difficult to observe appear to significantly reduce risk. Lastly, our results imply that the fundamental risks born by shareholders are primarily related to underlying economic risks which should lead to a relatively efficient allocation of capital.Some readers may be tempted to interpret our results as indicating that financial risk does not matter. This is not the proper interpretation. Instead, our results suggest that firms are able to manage financial risk so that the resulting exposure to shareholders is low compared to economic risks. Of course, financial risk is important to firms that choose to take on such risks either through high debt levels or a lack of risk management. In contrast, our study suggests that the typical non-financial firm chooses not to take these risks. In short, gross financial risk may be important, but firms can manage it. This contrasts with fundamental economic and business risks thatare more difficult (or undesirable) to hedge because they represent the mechanism by which the firm earns economic profits.References[1]Shyam,Sunder.Theory Accounting and Control[J].An Innternational Theory on PublishingComPany.2005[2]Ogryezak,W,Ruszeznski,A.

AUDIT MARKET FAILUREBenedikt KoehlerThe auditing profession has called for the current regime of unlimited liability to be replaced with liability caps. The Department of Trade and Industry has tabled proposals to reform the structure of the market for audit services. These proposals fall short of meeting the demand for liability limitation but modify he current regime inasmuch as auditor liability, though uncapped, would be proportional to the damage caused by audit failure. This step is unlikely to reme dy audit market failure. This article argues the distortion of market ncentives in audit markets can be traced to government intervention and the re me dy lies in re placing government interve ntion with c ompetition.IntroductionProponents of audit lia bility reform argue that the c urre nt weight of obligations is untena ble. A re gime of unlimited lia bility, coupled with the doctrine of joint and se veral liability, implies that every c orporate insolvenc y can trigge r litiga tion by plaintiffs arguing tha t auditors are c ulpa ble for not spotting trouble in time. Worse, auditors can not only be he ld to acc ount by a compa ny’s mana ge me nt, but by third parties as well. Auditors feel tha t providing an a udit opinion in effect is ta nta mount to underwriting the solve ncy of their clients.The Ge neral Acc ounting Office (GAO) finds in a surve y of c orporate failures that auditors had qualified their opinion in only half of all cases. Therein lies the crux. Auditors attest whether a compa ny’s accounts are dra wn up in accordance with auditing standards. That is not the same thing as to vouc h for a company’s solve ncy. Auditors argue it is wrong to confla te audit failure and c orporate failure.In 1992 the Big Six US a uditors state d that without c hec ks to third-party litigation, it would only be a question of time until their number dwindled (Arthur Ande rsen et al., 1992). US le gisla tion passe d in 1995 se t hurdles for filing claims a nd for a while seeme d to ste m the tide of litigation. Yet the de mise of Arthur Andersen ga ve urge ncy to thecalls for a udit market reform. Auditors a ver that insolve ncies are a fact of life and the next major corporate c olla pse is like ly to start a nother round of musical c hairs in the audit sector. Another reduction in the number of auditors with global reach would contra vene the public interest in sta ble fina ncial markets.Not e veryone is c onvince d of the nee d to cap a uditor lia bility. EU Commissioner Frits Bolkestein, for exa mple, has little sympa thy for the auditing profession’s pleas. First, users of fina ncial accounts are reassure d by knowing a uditors back their attest with unlimited lia bility. Unlimited lia bility concentrates the mind. Sec ondly, argues Bolkeste in, the threat to a udit market struc ture is entirely self-inflicte d. Auditors pursue d a strategy of global growth by leve raging the re putation earne d in na tional marke ts. They could hardly c omplain that the threat of conta gion from partic ular markets might affect the entire operation. Bolkestein is but one of those who belie ve that cappin g claims against auditors is a cure worse tha n the disease (Bolkestein, 2003). Bolkestein ta bles two issues: one is market structure, the other is unlimited third-party lia bility.Market structureIn almost e very country, the Big Four a uditors enjoy a virtual monopoly in a uditing the large compa ny sector. The ga p separa ting the Big Four and the vast majority of a udit service providers is enormous. The auditing sector is marke d by a stark c ontrast betwee n four globa l firms accounting for the bulk of ind ustry re venue, and small firms with up to four pa rtners accounting for the bulk of industry numbers. The ga p see ms unbridgea ble. The question of ideal c ompany size in a uditing, and why there is little migra tion betwee n segments, is unse ttle d. George Stigler (1958) suggeste d segme nting a n industry into layers of compa nies of similar size and c omparing the ir returns on ca pital. Over time, firms will gravitate towards a size that maximises returns. Stigler’s ana lytical tools do not expla in the peculiar structure of the audit sector.We cannot be sure whether, in the audit sector, firm size can be divided into a continuous or ste pped c ontinuum. The firm-size dic hotomy in a uditing raises the question of whether la rge a nd sma ll firms are in the sa me market at all.Within the large-firm segme nt, howeve r, Ge orge Stigler’s forecast that compa nies gra vitate towa rds ideal c ompany size holds true. Sulliva n (2002) e xa mines the pricingstructure of the Big Eight firms before and after mergers a nd discovers price declines for large clie nts. Ba nker et al. (2003) find ta ngible productivity ga ins after audit firm mergers. At one end of the audit market spectrum, scale economies are real.Some proffer the working hypothesis that a uditing’s unlimite d lia bility re gime deters market e ntry. Thus, ending unlimite d lia bility would foster c onditions allowing smaller firms to scale-up opera tions. Once auditor lia bility is ca ppe d, according to this line of thinking, smaller firms would c ompete aga inst industry leaders a nd in due course break up the incumbe nt oligopoly.The Office of Fair Trading (2004) e xa mines this question and does not find the argument compelling. A c onnection betwee n audit lia bility re gimes and market struc ture is in a ny eve nt e mpirica lly unsubsta ntiate d. Three c ountries with ca ps on a uditor lia bility (Austria, Germa ny a nd Greece) are not known to ha ve conspicuously higher inte nsity of audit market c ompe tition for big clie nts. If the searc h for mea ns to improve audit markets has bee n unsuccessful, perha ps it would ma ke sense to look else where for polic y solutions. Argua bly, the proble ms of the a udit sector areinduced by government intervention.Unlimited third-party liabilityGovernments ha ve interve ned in a udit liability re gimes for over 150 years. The English Joint Stoc k Companies Act (1844) is the first insta nce of ma ndatory audit provision in legislation. The re mit of publicly ma ndated a udits in the UK a udits was exte nde d to banks in 1879 and to limite d liability c ompanies in 1900. In the Unite d States indepe ndent audits were voluntary until the 1934 Securities Exc ha nge Ac t. At that point auditors acquire d the function of ‘public wa tchdogs’.Before the 1934 Sec urities Exc hange Act (SEC Act) a uditors were only lia ble to the principals who hire d them. Third-party lia bility claims did not succee d in court. US Supre me Court Judge Benja min Cardozo, in his ruling in Ultra mares (1931), ring- fenced a uditors from ‘a lia bility in an indeterminate a mount for an indetermina te time to a n inde terminate class. The hazards of a business c onducte d on these terms are so extre me as to enkindle doubt whether a fla w ma y not exist in the implicating of a dutythat e xposes to these c onse quences.’The 1934 SEC Act did not hee dCardozo’s warning. The imposition of audits by public man date opene d the floodgates to the flow of third-party litigation that Ca rdoz o sought to seal off.The SEC Ac t ma de a uditors the target of lia bility claims file d by plaintiffs who read an a udit opinion as a seal of good house keeping. The tide of claims a nd se ttle me nts rose for severa l deca des and hit its high-wa ter mark by the 1990s. In the USA the 1995 Private Sec urities Litigation Reform Ac t curtaile d the scope for third-party la wsuits and brought a measure of re lief to the profession. Since then the twin corporate a nd a udit failures of Enron a nd Arthur Anderse n have once more brought the issue of audit market structure a nd lia bility to the fore. Authorities are looking for wa ys to improve market structure a nd entry c onditions. The following c omments sugge st as a re medy for the dysfunctional a udit market to re in bac k the re mit of government interve ntion.Market failure or regulatory failure?The 1934 SEC Ac t mandate d audits in the public interest. This ste p broade ne d the range of a uditors’contractual obligations. The SEC Ac t did not define what these liabilities were and it was left to the courts to interpret the m. The adde d lia bility to third parties c ha nge d the incentives of a udit market actors. Auditors are liable to the c ompany that hire d the m, and to third parties tha t did not. Companies pa y auditors, third parties do not. The impact of third-party litigation risk on a udit service pricing is not tra nsparent. Third-party litiga tion risk can be reflecte d in audit service contracts in three possiblewa ys. The first is that third-party litigation risk is priced into a udit c ontracts a nd compa nies foot the bill for free- riding parties. That mea ns compa nies overpa y. The second is that third-party litigation risk is not priced into a udit service c ontracts: in tha t case, auditors are underpaid. The third possibility is that c ompanies perceive auditor accounta bility to third-party liabilities as a be nefit to the mselves a nd are pre pared to reward this service. Researc h suggests this is the case. If so, this ha s some bearing on the issue of audit market reform. Companies in Spain, for e xa mple, report they c hoose a large a udit firm in the e xpectation that this will improve their cre dibility with business partners a broa d (Moizer et al., 2004). Another study rela te s the effect of a udit marketreform in Ca na da, where in 1994 le gislation ga ve certain large private compa nies a n exe mption from ma ndatory audits. Subseque ntly, a bout a quarter of all eligiblecompa nies re duced the e xte nt of audit services. Those that c onti nue d audit services at pre-reform le vels stated tha t the ir motivation was to maintain cre dibility with outside parties (Rennie et a l., 2001). Clearly, auditor third-party accounta bility is a ke ybenefit to c ompa nies.This finding has some bearing on reforms of audit regula tion. Compa nies that do not provide the information investors e xpect ha ve diffic ulty attracting investment. Over time, a company’s c os t of capital will signal whether the le vel of disclosure is right. The Ca na dia n experie nce shows c o mpanies choose the level of inde pende nt a udits that suit their nee ds. If compa nies are prepare d to hire auditors voluntarily, governments nee d not compe l the m.An objec tion a gainst a switch from ma ndatory to voluntary re porting might be tha t this would not make a differe nce. If private and public incentives overla p, outcomes in the market would be ide ntical. This objection overlooks tha t dropping government-ma nda ted a udits would allow flexibility in two respects. Both the le vel a nd the form of audit services could vary. Where re gulation dete rmines the level of a udit services, these ma y be overprovide d or underprovide d. An exa mple of each possibility follows.In Florida, regulation precludes some municipalities from putting their a udit contracts out to te nder. Re gulators wa nt municipalities to pic k their a uditor solely on quality. Restricte d and unrestric ted a udit markets in Florida allow c omparison of the effect on marke t outc omes. Munic ipa lities with bidding restrictions te nd to pa y more for audit services and to win more a wards for high standards of financ ial disclosure(Hac ke nbrac k et al., 2000). One might suspect that this is a case of gold plating. A case underprovision of audit services, on the other ha nd, beca me appare nt inGerma ny whe n corporations won the right to switc h from domestic to US acc ounting rules. DaimlerBe nz ava ile d itself of this opportunity. Eve n though itsrestated acc ounts showe d a loss rather tha n a profit,the compa ny’s post-restate me nt share price went up. This investor reaction is c onsiste nt with theexpectat ion that ca pital markets re wa rdincrease dtra nsparenc y (Le uz and Verrecchia, 2000; Myddelton, 2004).More over, imposing uniform accounting sta nda rds diminishes scope for the audit sector to develop varia nt disclosure for ms. Re gulatory competition in corporate governa nce is trie d a ndteste d in US fina ncial markets. An e xa mple is the highly sophisticate d fra me work for corpora tegovernance in the USA regarding domicile ofinc orporation. US c orporations are free to c hoose the ir domicile and over time realised that pic king the right location for incorporation gives an e dgein raising capital. Market discipline, rather tha n governme nt directives, creates incentives for choosing whe re to inc orporate. Similarly, giving compa nies an option to express a prefere nce for alternative accounting sta ndards would allow marke t forces to determine optima l reporting regimes (Sunder, 2002).The De partme nt of Trade a nd Industry’s proposa ls will not affec t the top-hea vy structure of the audit market. A more effective way to increase c ompe tition in a udit markets would be to re lease companies and auditors from the require me nt to c omply with guidelines impose d by governme nt. This step would e nd the distortion of ince ntives and re lease pote ntia l to ne gotiate a udit c ontracts that meet the re quire me nts ofcompa nies, a uditors a nd third parties.ReferencesArthur Anderse n, Coopers & Lybra nd, Deloitte Touc he, Ernst& Young, KPMG Peat Marwic k a nd Price Wa terhouse(1992) ‘The Lia bility Crisis in the Unite d Stat es: Impact on the Acc ounting Profession’, re printe d in Journa l of Acc ountanc y, 174, 19–23.Ba nker, R., H.

审计风险外文文献(1)
审计风险外文文献(1)摘要审计风险是每一个企业都不可避免的存在，如何有效地对企业进行风险管理和风险评估，是企业在竞争激烈的市场经济中持续发展的关键。
本文研究了一些关于审计风险的外文文献，包括审计风险概念、审计风险评估方法、审计风险管理等方面，旨在为企业的管理者提供有益的参考。
正文1. Introduction随着市场经济的不断发展，企业日益面临着各种各样的风险，其中审计风险是一种不可忽视的风险。
审计是公司财务状况公开的重要手段，而审计风险则是指在审计过程中，会发现实际情况与财务报告不符或存在其他问题，这种风险不仅会对企业的财务状况产生影响，也会对企业的声誉产生负面影响。
2. 审计风险概念审计风险分为三个方面：检查风险、控制风险和依赖风险。
检查风险是指审核员未能检查到可疑交易或错误的信息。
控制风险是指公司的内部控制程序存在缺失，导致财务报告的准确性受到影响。
依赖风险是指报告使用者过度依赖于审计师提供的信息。
3. 审计风险评估方法审计风险评估是完整的审计过程的一部分，目的是评估审计风险的程度。
当确定企业的特定事件可能导致审计误差时，重要的是要确定风险的数量级和可能性。
评估审计风险的方法通常有三种：3.1 指标法指标法是根据历史数据，使用统计学方法来确定预测未来事件的可能性。
它通常将风险因素与特定事件发生的概率联系起来，以确定将需要进行更详细的审计程序的区域。
#### 3.2 经验法经验法根据审计人员的经验来确定预测的未来事件可能性。
这种方法不依赖于任何统计数据，而是基于审计人员对企业的认识和经验来进行评估。
#### 3.3 聚集法聚集法涉及对不同因素进行评估，这可以提高风险评估的确定性和准确性。
在这种方法中，审计人员可以对所有可能影响判断的因素进行评估，包括企业规模、行业类型、管理体系等。
4. 审计风险控制为了减少风险，管理人员可以采取以下措施：4.1 审计策略管理人员应该制定一个明确的审计策略来减少审计风险。

The third section presentstheresearch methodology; fourth section provides empirical analysis based on acasestudy; and fifth section presents a summary of the findings. The paperthensummarizes the conclusions, noting limitations of the study and suggesting avenuesfor futureresearch. InternalauditeffectivenessThe Instituteof Internal Auditors (IIA, 1999a) defined internal auditing as:an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add valueandimprove an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish itsobjectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improvetheeffectiveness of risk management, control, and governanceprocesses.This definition signifies that internal audit has undergone a paradigmshift froman emphasis on accountability about the past to improving future outcomes tohelpauditors operate more effectively and efficiently (Nagy and Canker, 2002; Stern,1994;Goodwin, 2004). Since, the definition equally serves both the private and thepublicsectors (Goodwin, 2004), it is used in this study as a basis to analyze publicsectorinternal auditeffectiveness.Internal audit is effective if it meets the intended outcome it is supposed tobringabout.Sawyer(1995)states,“…internalauditor'sjobisnotdoneuntildefectsarecorrecte d and remain corrected.”Van Hansberger (2005) explains that internalauditeffectiveness in the public sector should be evaluated by the extent to whichitcontributes to the demonstration of effective and efficient service delivery, asthisdrives the demand for improved internal audit services. Based on the results ofaconsultative forum that focused on improving public sector internal audit [1],VanHansberger (2005) identified perceptionsandownership; organizationandgovernance framework; legislation; improved professionalism; conceptualframework;and also resources as factors influencing internal audit effectiveness.Effectiveinternal audit undertakes an independent evaluation of financial andoperatinginformation and of systems and procedures, to provide useful recommendationsfor improvements asnecessary.The effectiveness of internal audit greatly contributes to the effectiveness ofeachauditor in particular andthe organization at large (Dittenhofer, 2001).Dittenhofer(2001) has also observed that if internal audit quality is maintained, it will contributeto the appropriateness of procedures and operations of the auditor, and therebyinternal audit contributes to effectiveness of the auditor and the organization asawhole. Using agency theory, Dingdong (1997) explained the role that internalauditplays in an economy and points out that internal audit has an advantage over externalauditin obtaining information quickly and finding problems at an earlier stage; and Sparkman (1997), applying the theory of transaction cost economics, demonstratedhow internal audit recommendations are important to the management ofgovernmentorganizations.Priorliteraturerelatingtointernalauditeffectivenesshaseitherfocusedontheinternal audit's ability to plan, execute and objectively communicate usefulfindings(Dingdong, 1997 Sparkman, 1997;Dittenhofer, 2001); or taken a broader viewandincluded factors that transcend the boundary of a single organization (VanHansberger,2005). This paper attempts to introduce a new perspective for evaluation of internalaudit effectiveness by identifying factors within an organization that impact onauditeffectiveness. A model, which assumes that there is a common interest to achieveorganizational goals for auditor management, top management and internal audit,isused for analysis of this case study. Since, audit effectiveness fosters theachievementof a common goal; there would be a natural incentive in an organization to improveit.The model considers four potential factors –internal audit quality,managementsupport, organizational setting, and auditor attributes to explain audit effectiveness,and shows how the interaction of these factors improves audit effectiveness.Internal audit quality, which is determined by the internal audit department'scapability to provide useful findings and recommendations, is central toauditeffectiveness. Internal audit has to prove that it is of value to the organization and earna reputation in the organization (Sawyer, 1995). Internal audit has to evaluateitsperformance and continually improve its service .audit quality is a function ofthelevelofstaffexpertise,thescopeofservicesprovidedandtheextenttowhichaudits areprope rlyplanned,executedandcommunicated.Audit findings and recommendations would not serve much purposeunlessmanagement is committed to implement them. Adams (1994) used agency theorytoexplain that it is in the interest of management to maintain a strong internalauditdepartment. Implementation of audit recommendations is highly relevant toauditeffectiveness (Van Hansberger, 2005) and the management of an organization isviewed as the customer receiving internal audit services. As a result,management'scommitment to useaudit recommendations and its support in strengthening internalauditis vital to audit effectiveness (Sawyer,1995).Organizational setting refers to the organizational profile, internal organizationand budgetary status of the internal audit office; and also the organizationalpoliciesand procedures that guide operation of auditors. It provides the context inwhichinternal audit operates. Thus, organizational setting can exert influence on the levelofeffectiveness that internal audit could achieve. The auditor attributes relate tothecapability of the auditor to meet its intended objectives. Auditor attributeswithimplications on audit effectiveness include the auditors' proficiency to efficientlyandeffectively meet organizational sub-goals; their attitude towards internal audit; andthelevel of cooperation provided to the auditor .Since, the four factors discussed aboveare intricately linked, audit effectiveness is a dynamic process that results fromtheeffect of each factor and the interplay among all. audit quality andmanagementsupport strongly affects audit effectiveness. Better audit effectiveness, in turn, hasapositivebearingonthesetwofactors.Ifinternalaudit enhancesqualitytotheextent itelicits management's interest, management support would be a natural quid proquobecause the management would realize the contribution of internal audit totheachievement of organizational goals. This would positively reflecton auditqualityand enhance audit effectiveness. The management's commitment to implementauditrecommendations improves the operation of the auditor, as a result of whichtheauditor attributes would improve to the benefit of audit effectiveness.Further,management retains the authority to improve the organizational setting andinfluencethe auditor towards a positive effect on audit effectiveness, whichin turn,benefitsauditquality.ConcludingcommentsThis study investigated the internal audit service of a large public sectorhighereducational institution, to identify factors influencing internal audit effectiveness,using a model developed for the analysis. The model consisted of fourinterrelatedfactors: internal audit quality; management support; the organizational setting;andattributes of theauditors.The findings of the study reveal that the internal audit office of theorganizationstudied needs to enhance the technical proficiency of the internal audit staffandminimizestaff turnover so as to foster audit effectiveness. The organizational statusand internal organization of the internal audit office are fairly rated, butinternalaudit'slackofauthorityonbudgetsreducesitscontrolofresourceacquisitionandutil ization.The scope of internal audit services is limited to regular activities.

In addition, the lack of attention by management may send awrongsignal about the importance of internal audit services to the audited, which in turnadversely affects the auditedattributes.The study has shown that internal audit of the organization studiedneedsimprovement in the areas of audit planning, documentation of audit work,auditcommunications and follow-up of recommendations. Audit effectiveness couldbeenhanced by ensuring consistency in documenting audit work to enableimprovedreview of audit work; proper follow-up of the status of audit findingsandrecommendations; increased distribution of audit reports; and further improvementinthe quality ofreporting.The limitation of this study is readily apparent. As in all case studies,thegeneralisabilityof the findings and the conclusions drawn is limited, althoughthestudy does provide evidence of the problems internal auditors face in providinganeffective service to management. Further, research could be welcome tofullyunderstand the level of internal audit effectiveness in the Ethiopian public sectorvis-à-vis its private sector, with a view to highlighting differences, if any,andconclusively defining the variables affecting internal audit effectiveness inEthiopia.译文简介内部审计的有效性，在何种程度上满足了内部审计处其存在的理由，可以说是一个四因素之间的相互作用的结果：内部审计质量，管理支持，组织设臵，以及受审核方属性。

Sampling is not used only in audit – is used in sampling surveys,market analysis and medical research in which someone wants to reach aconclusion about a large number of data by examining only a part of thesedata. The difference is the “population” from which the sample is selected, iethat set of data which is intended to draw a conclusion. Audit sampling appliesonly to certain types of audit procedures.Key words: sampling, sample risk, population, sampling unit, tests ofcontrols, substantive procedures.Statistical samplingCommittee statistical sampling of American Institute of CertifiedPublic Accountants of (AICPA) issued in 1962 a special report, titled“Statistical sampling and independent auditors’ which allowed the use ofstatistical sampling method, in accordance with Generally Accepted AuditingStandards (GAAS). During 1962-1974, the AICPA published a series of paperson statistical sampling, “Auditor’s Approach to Statistical Sampling”, foruse in continuing professional education of accountants. During 1962-1974,the AICPA published a series of papers on statistical sampling, “Auditor’sApproach to Statistical Sampling”, for use in continuing professional educationof accountants. In 1981, AICPA issued the professional standard, “AuditSampling”, which provides general guidelines for both sampling methods,statistical and non-statistical.Earlier audits included checks of all transactions in the period coveredby the audited financial statements. At that time, the literature has not givenparticular attention to this subject. Only in 1971, an audit procedures programprinted in the “Federal Reserve Bulletin (Federal Bulletin Stocks)” includedseveral references to sampling such as selecting the “few items” of inventory.Statistics and Audit The program was developed by a special committee, which later became the AICPA, that of Certified Public Accountants American Institute.In the first decades of last century, the auditors often applied sampling, but sample size was not in related to the efficiency of internal control of the entity. In 1955, American Institute of Accountants has published a study case of extending the audit sampling, summarizing audit program developed by certified public accountants, to show why sampling is necessary to extend the audit. The study was important because is one of the leading journal on sampling which recognize a relationship of dependency between detail and reliability testing of internal control.In 1964, the AICPA’s Auditing Standards Board has issued a report entitled “The relationship between statistical sampling and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS)” which illustrated the relationship between the accuracy and reliability in sampling and provisions of GAAS.In 1978, the AICPA published the work of Donald M. Roberts,“Statistical Auditing”which explains the underlying theory of statistical sampling in auditing.In 1981, AICPA issued the professional standard, named “Audit Sampling”, which provides guidelines for both sampling methods, statistical and non-statistical.An auditor does not rely solely on the results of a single procedure to reach a conclusion on an account balance, class of transactions or operational effectiveness of the controls. Rather, the audit findings are based on combined evidence from several sources, as a consequence of a number of different audit procedures. When an auditor selects a sample of a population, his objective is to obtain a representative sample, ie sample whose characteristics are identical with the population’s characteristics. This means that selected items are identical with those remaining outside the sample.In practice, auditors do not know for sure if a sample is representative, even after completion the test, but they “may increase the probability that a sample is representative by accuracy of activities made related to design, sample selection and evaluation” [1]. Lack of specificity of the sample results may be given by observation errors and sampling errors. Risks to produce these errors can be controlled.Observation error (risk of observation) appears when the audit test did not identify existing deviations in the sample or using an inadequate audit technique or by negligence of the auditor.Sampling error (sampling risk) is an inherent characteristic of the survey, which results from the fact that they tested only a fraction of the total population. Sampling error occurs due to the fact that it is possible for Revista Română de Statistică nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Auditthe auditor to reach a conclusion, based on a sample that is different from the conclusion which would be reached if the entire population would have been subject to audit procedures identical. Sampling risk can be reduced by adjusting the sample size, depending on the size and population characteristics and using an appropriate method of selection. Increasing sample size will reduce the risk of sampling; a sample of the all population will present a null risk of sampling.Audit Sampling is a method of testing for gather sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, for the purposes of audit. The auditor may decide to apply audit sampling on an account balance or class of transactions. Sampling audit includes audit procedures to less than 100% of the items within an account balance or class of transactions, so all the sample able to be selected. Auditor is required to determine appropriate ways of selecting items for testing. Audit sampling can be used as a statistical approach and a non- statistical.Statistical sampling is a method by which the sample is made so that each unit consists of the total population has an equal probability of being included in the sample, method of sample selection is random, allowed to assess the results based on probability theory and risk quantification of sampling. Choosing the appropriate population make that auditor’ findings can be extended to the entire population.Non-statistical sampling is a method of sampling, when the auditor uses professional judgment to select elements of a sample. Since the purpose of sampling is to draw conclusions about the entire population, the auditor should select a representative sample by choosing sample units which have characteristics typical of that population. Results will not extrapolate the entire population as the sample selected is representative.Audit tests can be applied on the all elements of the population, where is a small population or on an unrepresentative sample, where the auditor knows the particularities of the population to be tested and is able to identify a small number of items of interest to audit. If the sample has not similar characteristics for the elements of the entire population, the errors found in the tested sample can not extrapolate.Decision of statistical or non-statistical approach depends on the auditor’s professional judgment which seeking sufficient appropriate audits evidence on which to completion its findings about the audit opinion.As a statistical sampling method refer to the random selection that any possible combination of elements of the community is equally likely to enter the sample. Simple random sampling is used when stratification was not to audit. Using random selection involves using random numbers generated byRomanian Statistical Review nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Audit a computer. After selecting a random starting point, the auditor found the first random number that falls within the test document numbers. Only when the approach has the characteristics of statistical sampling, statistical assessments of risk are valid sampling.In another variant of the sampling probability, namely the systematic selection (also called random mechanical) elements naturally succeed in office space or time; the auditor has a preliminary listing of the population and made the decision on sample size. “The auditor calculated a counting step, and selects the sample element method based on step size. Step counting is determined by dividing the volume of the community to sample the number of units desired. Advantages of systematic screening are its usability. In most cases, a systematic sample can be extracted quickly and method automatically arranges numbers in successive series.”[2].Selection by probability proportional to size - is a method which emphasizes those population units’recorded higher values. The sample is constituted so that the probability of selecting any given element of the population is equal to the recorded value of the item;Stratifi ed selection - is a method of emphasis of units with higher values and is registered in the stratification of the population in subpopulations. Stratification provides a complete picture of the auditor, when population (data table to be analyzed) is not homogeneous. In this case, the auditor stratifies a population by dividing them into distinct subpopulations, which have common characteristics, pre-defined. “The objective of stratification is to reduce the variability of elements in each layer and therefore allow a reduction in sample size without a proportionate increase in the risk of sampling.” [3] If population stratification is done properly, the amount of sample size to come layers will be less than the sample size that would be obtained at the same level of risk given sample with a sample extracted from the entire population. Audit results applied to a layer can be designed only on items that are part of that layer.I appreciated as useful some views on non-statistical sampling methods, which implies that guided the selection of the sample selecting each element according to certain criteria determined by the auditor. The method is subjective; because the auditor selects intentionally items containing set features him.The selection of the series is done by selecting multiple elements series (successive). Using sampling the series is recommended only if a reasonable number of sets used. Using just a few series there is a risk that the sample is not representative. This type of sampling can be used in addition to other samples, where there is a high probability of occurrence of errors. At the arbitrary selection, no items are selected preferably from the auditor, Revista Română de Statistică nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Auditthat regardless of size or source or characteristics. Is not the recommended method, because is not objective.That sampling is based on the auditor’s professional judgment, which may decide which items can be part or not sampled. Because is not a statistical method, it can not calculate the standard error. Although the sample structure can be constructed to reproduce the population, there is no guarantee that the sample is representative. If omitted a feature that would be relevant in a particular situation, the sample is not representative.Sampling applies when the auditor plans to make conclusions about population, based on a selection. The auditor considers the audit program and determines audit procedures which may apply random research. Sampling is used by auditors an internal control systems testing, and substantive testing of operations. The general objectives of tests of control system and operations substantive tests are to verify the application of pre-defined control procedures, and to determine whether operations contain material errors.Control tests are intended to provide evidence of operational efficiency and controls design or operation of a control system to prevent or detect material misstatements in financial statements. Control tests are necessary if the auditor plans to assess control risk for assertions of management.Controls are generally expected to be similarly applied to all transactions covered by the records, regardless of transaction value. Therefore, if the auditor uses sampling, it is not advisable to select only high value transactions. Samples must be chosen so as to be representative population sample.An auditor must be aware that an entity may change a special control during the course of the audit. If the control is replaced by another, which is designed to achieve the same specific objective, the auditor must decide whether to design a sample of all transactions made during or just a sample of transactions controlled again. Appropriate decision depends on the overall objective of the audit test.Verification of internal control system of an entity is intended to provide guidance on the identification of relevant controls and design evaluation tests of controls.Other tests:In testing internal control system and testing operations, audit sample is used to estimate the proportion of elements of a population containing a characteristic or attribute analysis. This proportion is called the frequency of occurrence or percentage of deviation and is equal to the ratio of elements containing attribute specific and total number of population elements. WeightRomanian Statistical Review nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Audit deviations in a sample are determined to calculate an estimate of the proportion of the total population deviations.Risk associated with sampling - refers to a sample selection which can not be representative of the population tested. In other words, the sample itself may contain material errors or deviations from the line. However, issuing a conclusion based on a sample may be different from the conclusion which would be reached if the entire population would be subject to audit.Types of risk associated with sampling:Controls are more effective than they actually are or that there are not significant errors when they exist - which means an inappropriate audit opinion. Controls are less effective than they actually are that there are significant errors when in fact they are not - this calls for additional activities to establish that initial conclusions were incorrect.Attributes testing - the auditor should be defining the characteristics to test and conditions for misconduct. Attributes testing will make when required objective statistical projections on various characteristics of the population. The auditor may decide to select items from a population based on its knowledge about the entity and its environment control based on risk analysis and the specific characteristics of the population to be tested.Population is the mass of data on which the auditor wishes to generalize the findings obtained on a sample. Population will be defined compliance audit objectives and will be complete and consistent, because results of the sample can be designed only for the population from which the sample was selected.Sampling unit - a unit of sampling may be, for example, an invoice, an entry or a line item. Each sample unit is an element of the population. The auditor will define the sampling unit based on its compliance with the objectives of audit tests.Sample size - to determine the sample size should be considered whether sampling risk is reduced to an acceptable minimum level. Sample size is affected by the risk associated with sampling that the auditor is willing to accept it. The risk that the auditor is willing to accept lower, the sample will be higher.Error - for detailed testing, the auditor should project monetary errors found in the sample population and should take into account the projected error on the specific objective of the audit and other audit areas. The auditor projects the total error on the population to get a broad perspective on the size of the error and comparing it with tolerable error.For detailed testing, tolerable error is tolerable and misrepresentations Revista Română de Statistică nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Auditwill be a value less than or equal to materiality used by the auditor for the individual classes of transactions or balances audited. If a class of transactions or account balances has been divided into layers error is designed separately for each layer. Design errors and inconsistent errors for each stratum are then combined when considering the possible effect on the total classes of transactions and account balances.Evaluation of sample results - the auditor should evaluate the sample results to determine whether assessing relevant characteristics of the population is confirmed or needs to be revised.When testing controls, an unexpectedly high rate of sample error may lead to an increase in the risk assessment of significant misrepresentation unless it obtained additional audit evidence to support the initial assessment. For control tests, an error is a deviation from the performance of control procedures prescribed. The auditor should obtain evidence about the nature and extent of any significant changes in internal control system, including the staff establishment.If significant changes occur, the auditor should review the understanding of internal control environment and consider testing the controls changed. Alternatively, the auditor may consider performing substantive analytical procedures or tests of details covering the audit period.In some cases, the auditor might not need to wait until the end audit to form a conclusion about the effectiveness of operational control, to support the control risk assessment. In this case, the auditor might decide to modify the planned substantive tests accordingly.If testing details, an unexpectedly large amount of error in a sample may cause the auditor to believe that a class of transactions or account balances is given significantly wrong in the absence of additional audit evidence to show that there are not material misrepresentations.When the best estimate of error is very close to the tolerable error, the auditor recognizes the risk that another sample have different best estimate that could exceed the tolerable error.ConclusionsFollowing analysis of sampling methods conclude that all methods have advantages and disadvantages. But the auditor is important in choosing the sampling method is based on professional judgment and take into account the cost / benefit ratio. Thus, if a sampling method proves to be costly auditor should seek the most efficient method in view of the main and specific objectives of the audit.Romanian Statistical Review nr. 5 / 2010Statistics and Audit The auditor should evaluate the sample results to determine whether the preliminary assessment of relevant characteristics of the population must be confirmed or revised. If the evaluation sample results indicate that the relevant characteristics of the population needs assessment review, the auditor may: require management to investigate identified errors and likelihood of future errors and make necessary adjustments to change the nature, timing and extent of further procedures to take into account the effect on the audit report.Selective bibliography:[1] Law no. 672/2002 updated, on public internal audit[2] Arens, A şi Loebbecke J - Controve …Audit– An integrate approach”, 8th edition, Arc Publishing House[3] ISA 530 - Financial Audit 2008 - International Standards on Auditing, IRECSON Publishing House, 2009- Dictionary of macroeconomics, Ed C.H.

(8)C The analysis of reason rising audit risk (10)D The strategy reducing audit risk of CPAs (11)E Conclusion (14)The discussion on audit risk and prevention of accounting firmThe goal and the significance of researching audit riskAudit risk not only affects CPA’s vital interests，but also is direct proportion to the operating risk．So，it is important to study the reasons of audit risk．The studying on audit risk is to improve the working quality of CPA to reduce the charged risk，to construct a reasonable auditing environment，and to inform and provide fair information to users to help them making-decisions．The author thinks the audit risk rising due to poor quality of accounting firms．The CPAs work for firms，and the firms should be res ponsible for CPAs’ activities，to decrease the CPAs’ risk and avoid the firms’ risk．Only those risk are considered，both the firms and the CPAs may improve each other to promote the development of CPA business.The problems of accounting firms⑴Low-price competitionSocial existence of competition，the price is the most key eye-catching customers．If any firm uses better price，the business would increase，and give rise to more profit accordingly，and the firms own competitive advantage to ensure the future development．There is an audit fee standard in the firm，but also there is greater flexibility on specific operations（Industry standard for audit fees is shown in Table 1）．Such as Sichuan XX accounting firm，total assets in the end of the year are ￥1，553，871，396．18 in the audited unit．If in strict accordance with the standards，the audit fees are ￥409，967．85，but the actual audit fees are ￥1 80，000．00 in the firm ‘s invoice．The more difference price is lower than the normal price level，which would apparently influence the audit quality and increase the audit risk．⑵The imperfect system of quality controlAt present，most firms require the issued audit reports should base on three—tier review systems．In other words，after issuing the first draft of audit report，project manager must take it to departmental verify，then to manager in charge of department verify，to quality supervisors review lastly．Only after all the three review staffs agree，the audit report may be issued formally．In fact，the firms don’t carry out the system conformity strictly because of many reasons，and reduce part of the procedures．For example，during the annual auditing，some audit reports are issued bytwo—tier review system conformity strictly because of more businesses in Sichuan XX accounting firm ．So there are some problems in audit reports．When the firms sent the reports to the clients，the clients would find out and return the firms to modify，which lead to the negative impact for the CPAs and the firms，and increase the audit risk．Table 1 The industry fee standard of audit feeThe total asset of audited company inyear endFee standards Total feesLess than 500,000.00510,000.00 to 1,000,000.001,010,000.00 to 5,000,000.00 5,010,000.00 to 10,000,000.00 10,010,000.00 to 50,000,000.00 50,010,000.00 to 100,000,000.00 More than 100,000,000.001,500.003,000.006,000.009,000.0012,000.0015,000.000.25‰1,500.004,500.0010,500.0019,500.0031,500.0046,500.00⑶The incomplete follow-up education of auditorsThe institute trains the CPAs annual．The train personnel include the CPAs and the audit assistants in the firms．But due to the busy businesses and the pursuit of profit maximization，the firms wouldn’t spend m ore time in the follow-up education of CPAs and audit assistants．So CPAs and audit assistants have less chance to renew the knowledge．For example，in Sichuan，some firm s requested the CPAS to answer the questions on internet in the follow—up education．⑷staff recruitment problemsWhen some firms recruit，there is no better eligibility review process，and the candidates usually come from the interpersonal．So the staff’s professional knowledge levers are different，which lead to the potential audit risk．During 2008 annual report of audit，a firm recruited a large number of staffs．Only there is 62 staff in audit department．in which there are 20 new CPAs(32．25 percent in tota1)．And 1 6 new staffs(80 percent of new staffs) are graduates．Most of them haven’t come into contact with the audit．⑴The increased time pressure of CPAsBecause time is limited．the CPAs had to finish the auditing within the required timeframe．Generally the CPAs spend 3 to 5 days in big corporation，and 1 to 2 days in small corporation．During the annual report audit，the auditors in a firm in Sichuan didn’t go to audit in accordance with the procedures of auditing standards，and tookthe substantive test for the audited unit．There is no enough time to assess interna1 control of corporation for the auditors，and to test the important level also．Because of time limited．after the CPAs go into the audited company firstly，they would go to engage in another project without staying to finish the first project，and other auditors(not CPA)are responsible for the present project．So the CPAs issue the audit reports with blindness，and the audit risk are enlarged．The analysis of reason rising audit risk⑴The enhanced complexity of objective economic activitiesWith the improvement of degree of social information，more the accounting information of the audited are，in which there are some wrong and false information，more the possibility of oversight are increased．The kind and the character of economic business are different and complex，so the accounting businesses have gone far beyond the traditional content of financial accounting．The appearance of new businesses，such as taxation accounting，lease accounting，bankruptcy accounting，consolidated financial statements，is more challenging than the traditional financial accounting，more prone to controversy，and more difficult to audit．The content of modem audit include not only the financial activities and some feasibility studies for the investment programs in the audited companies，but also the evaluation of operating results，the content and the operation effect of internal control system，which would increase the difficult to draw the right conclusion．Moreover，Chinese economic system and the compatible systems are changing constantly，and the economic elements are more complex，and the quality of employees is differently in all kinds of economic elements．Sometimes，the ability of employees lags behind the reform of financial systems．Some employees speculate in chaos，and almost pursuit self-interest，which happen usually．Some firms are not good to deal with countermeasures，so to increase audit risk．⑵The more competition in firmsIn an increasingly competitive environment，the firms always reduce price in order to the business，which lead to serious unfair competition in audit industry．With the increasing firms and the tender，low-cost competition becomes more intense．Some firms in Sichuan took part in low—cost competition toself-development．The audit fees influence directly inputs of resource in auditing procedure，especially the test procedure and the score，so to affect the quality and the social vale of independent audit．In case of low audit fees．the auditors will finish a lot of auditing in short time to reduce costs，which give the auditors more pressure or can’t ensure the auditing qual ity．⑶The low quality of auditors①The limited experience and the abilities of the auditorsThe limited audit abilities lead to complete the audit businesses is even worse，orthe audited content and request between the community and the audit occupation sector are disagreed，which put them involve in the responsibility of unpleasant litigation．For a long time，the audit occupation sectors have thought the implementation of auditing according to auditing standards is to fulfill their duties，and the accountability and the audit responsibilities may be distinguished．The public not only desire the auditors issue the report for financial information，and require they can discover all the false and the wrong information in the audited department．The increased audit responsibilities are adapted to the demand for the public，but increase the audit risk．So，the audit abilities are relative to meet the demand for the public，and not absolute．The audit abilities are always different from the public demand．②The poor of audit staff and professional responsibilityThe auditing is a kind of specialized technical service，so the auditors have the responsibility to plan their auditing to discover the false that maybe cause significant impact on financial statements．In the same time，the auditors ought to apply the personal technology and career concerns in the process of auditing．The responsibility and the career concern s of auditors are important to the auditing conclusion．The responsibility request the auditors to own high moral characters，integrity personality，and meticulous work spirit，with a solid accounting，auditing，legal knowledge and basic audit skills，keen analytical skills and the ability to determine accurate．In China，CPAs is less；both the age structure and knowledge structures of most CPAs are more unreasonable．In order to get more CPAs，the heads of firm s tried their best．So many CPAs are linked to the firms，such as in Sichuan．The linked CPAs decreased their auditing independent．③Flawed method of modern auditModem audit methodology emphasis the balance between audit costs and audit risk，so admitting the existence of a little audit risk is the necessary premise in audit procedures；audit sampling methods and methods of application of analytical review throughout the audit process．And therefore the result of the review is bound to a certain degree of error．The developing auditing is facing more competitions，and competitions result in margin profit reduced．In order to maintain margin profit，the auditing career must keep the balance between efficiency and effects，which is to strive for maximum audit efficiency in the time of maintaining the auditing effects．Consequently，the auditors put audit strength focused on all important projects，to give up some procedures that the auditors think unnecessary．The auditors also are willing to bear certain risks taken based on reviewing the part of all operations．Although sampling theory has studied the deep，in specific application to the audit，the auditors did not quite grasp the sample can be taken by the representative of the overall，subjective conclusions can be drawn between objective fact and the deviation from the always exist．④Time pressureUnder more competition in audit service market，the CPAs are facing thepressure from different sources，such as competition，the firms’ internal management，the clients，and the third—party(e．g．SFC)，and the pressure is increased by the request of reducing time to finish the auditing．Time pressure is as an environmental factor influencing on the audit performance，which importance are increasing，and are paid attention to．Due to customers’ own demand，they require firms finish the audit work within the period provided，time pressure are transacted to the CPAs，and the audit risk are increased accordingly．The strategy reducing audit risk of CPAs⑴Regulate the functions of law enforcement and government supervision departmentsIn reasonable regulation and control of“two hands”of both the market and the government，many economic activities of accounting entity operate progressively with market--oriented；many non-standard economic activities are reduced；the disclosure of accounting information are becoming increasingly standardized；CPAs will not be difficult to make decisions by dilemma faced；audit risk will be reduced naturally．When CPAs find in practice that policy is inconsistencies of the legislation，administrative law enforcement and regulation are weak，accounting activities of the entity are non—standard，CPAs should communicate with the relevant functional departments timely，to enhance the normative and operational of policy-making．Such CPA reduces the audit risks，and increases the efficiency of the audit．．⑵Accounting firms should be improved①Accounting firm to establish a sound internal operational mechanism，an d improve the quality of theinternal control system，and to establish the risk of liability systemFrom the perspective of risk control，the firm should establish and improve the internal total qualitymanagement systems，in particular ensure to perfect the implementation process．The establishment and improvement of audit quality control system are the powerful measures to reduce the fraud and control audit risk．Quality control is an important component of internal control of the system in the firms，and locates in the core position of the system．Strict assessment methods for audit quality，and reducing or eliminate staff errors，timely detecting and resulting problems arising in the course of auditing，are to ensure audit quality and reduce audit risk．Everything must be checked，operated，responded and accessed by some people；a problem can be reflected in a timely manner，and can clearly define the responsibilities．Accounting firm should also establish mechanisms to transfer risk to circumvent their own risk in process of auditing．②Establishing and use the mechanisms of professional guidanceThe firm should establish the mechanisms of professional guidance to ensureCPAs in the situation beyond own knowledge to acquire advisory services timely and appropriate operational guidance．For example，the accounting firm will be able to employ legal，economic，technical expels；the auditors make judgments and decisions for the authority backed by professionals，so that it can enhance the findings of the audit risk respectability．⑶To improve the overall quality of CPAsIt should be noted that accounting firms have to do a good job within the work of two aspects：one is in the recruitment of professionals，the strict quality，and not employ the candidates without the conditions．On the other hand，attention should be paid to the existing CPAs’ continually follow—up education．For extremely complex elements in the Chinese economy，the new requirements and the new policy are emerging．Object and content of the audit are constantly changing，so there should be a system that each of CPAs has the opportunity to learn new knowledge and continuously improve their operational capacity．At the same time，we must also strengthen the rigid constraints of professional ethics．Institute of Certified Public Accountants must strengthen the supervision of the accounting firms and CPAs，to ensure the healthy development of the industry．⑷CPAs perfect themselves①Strictly abide by professional ethics and industry standardsSO far．China has formulated and promulgated a 48 independent auditing standards and related professional norms，has established basically a system of professional norms for CPAs．CPAs practice only in strict accordance with professional standards and the audit procedures necessary，they are possible to form the correct audit findings Therefore，it is particularly important to control risk，to maintain good work ethics，to strictly comply with the requirements of professional standards for the implementation of audit operations and issuing the audit report．②Focus on the important auditing activity of the quality controlBefore the audit CPAs in the audit is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between audit risks and the importance concept，the collection of evidence，use the model of audit risk to analyze factors，and accurate estimate effectively audit risk，the risk of material misstatement．Considering the principle of cost an d profit，CPAs may determine audit methodology within the cost of evidence collection，to prepare the implementation plan．In phase of control，the main things is to review the plan in line with the clien ts’ requests，including the contents of the audit，scope，completion time and the division of labor，and according to the actual situation to the revised scheme to enhance the timeliness of audit work and effects．CPAs should check the adequacy of audit methodology，the correct of audit basis，the adequacy of audit evidence，audit determination is appropriate or is not appropriate，the integrity and the logic of data．At the same time，prepare high-quality audit work papers，the auditors must exchange views with audited units about audit reports，and listen to the views of the clients and the parties．Such audit risk of CPAswill be reduced naturally in accounting firms．③T0 maintain the sensitivity of the audit environmentIt is the important matter that CPAs should comprehend the customers and all aspects about audit project to find audit risk and to avoid lega1．Before auditing，auditors should be aware of the following environmental matters and maintain the sensitivity：The region’s financial and economic situation and de velopment trend of change，the impact of existing policies，laws and regulations on the operation and management of customers and the extent，client’s legal representative and its major internal changes in management personnel and external flows，the improvement situation of internal control system of client，accounting systems，The auditing standards and their application situation，the knowledge and the development trend of related technology．④Audit responsibilities must be clearIn the audit process，on specific project tasks，it is necessary to refine the division of labor，and the responsibility of the audit team members put in place．At the same time，the project manager has to do well the work of supervision and inspection in the entire audit process，and gives recognition to the excellent project team，and holds the team fault liability for the audit risk in violation of the provisions an d slack work．ConclusionIn China，auditing is high-risk profession．The main bearer of the risk is CPA，and the goal every accounting firm need to pursuit is to reduce the audit risk of CPA．Only reduce the audit risk of CPA，the development of accounting firm can be achieved continuously．目录1.有关会计师事务所审计风险和防范的探讨1.1审计风险研究的目标和意义 (1)1.2会计师事务所存在的问题 (1)1.3审计风险增加的原因 (3)1.4注册会计师降低审计风险的策略 (5)1.5结论 (7)1.有关会计师事务所审计风险和防范的探讨1.1审计风险研究的目标和意义审计风险不仅影响注册会计师的切身利益，而且跟经营风险是成正比的。

毕业设计附件外文文献翻译：原文+译文文献出处：Chaudhuri S. Big data，cloud computing technology and the audit[J]. IT Professional Magazine, 2016, 2(4): 38-51.原文Big data，cloud computing technology and the auditChaudhuri SAbstractAt present, large data along with the development of cloud computing technology, is a significant impact on global economic and social life. Big data and cloud computing technology to modern audit provides a new technology and method of auditing organizations and audit personnel to grasp the big data, content and characteristics of cloud computing technology, to promote the further development of the modern audit technology and method.Keywords: big data, cloud computing technology, audit, advice1 Related concept1.1 Large dataThe word "data" (data) is the meaning of "known" in Latin, can also be interpreted as "fact”. In 2009, the concept of “big data” gradually begins to spread in society. The concept of "big data" truly become popular, it is because the Obama administration in 2012 high-profile announced its "big data research and development plan”. It marks the era of "big data" really began to enter the social economic life.” Big data" (big data), or "huge amounts of data, refers to the amount of data involved too big to use the current mainstream software tools, in a certain period of time to realize collection, analysis, processing, or converted to help decision-makers decision-making information available. Internet data center (IDC) said "big data" is for the sake of more economical, more efficient from high frequency, large capacity, different structures and types of data to derive value and design of a new generation of architecture and technology, and use it to describe and define the information explosion times produce huge amounts of data, and name the related technology development and innovation. Big data has four characteristics: first, the data volume is huge, jumped from TB level to the level of PB.Second, processing speed, the traditionaldata mining technology are fundamentally diffe rent. Third, many data types’ pictures, location information, video, web logs, and other forms. Fourth, the value of low density, high commercial value.1.2 Cloud computing"Cloud computing" concept was created in large Internet companies such as Google and IBM handle huge amounts of data in practice. On August 9, 2006, Google CEO Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) in the search engine assembly for the first time put forward the concept of "cloud computing”. In October 2007, Google and IBM began in the United Stat es university campus to promote cloud computing technology plan, the project hope to reduce the cost of distributed computing technology in academic research, and provide the related hardware and software equipment for these universities and technical support (Michael Mille, 2009).The world there are many about the definition of "cloud computing”.” Cloud computing" is the increase of the related services based on Internet, use and delivery mode, is through the Internet to provide dynamic easy extension and often virtualized resources. American national standards institute of technology (NIST) in 2009 about cloud computing is defined as: "cloud computing is a kind of pay by usage pattern, this pattern provides available, convenient, on-demand network access, enter the configurable computing resources Shared pool resources (including network, servers, storage, applications, services, etc.), these resources can be quick to provide, just in the management of the very few and or little interaction with service providers."1.3 The relationship between big data and cloud computingOverall, big data and cloud computing are complementary to each other. Big data mainly focus on the actual business, focus on "data", provide the technology and methods of data collection, mining and analysis, and emphasizes the data storage capacity. Cloud computing focuses on "computing", pay attention to IT infrastructure, providing IT solutions, emphasizes the ability to calculate, the data processing ability. If there is no large data storage of data, so the cloud computing ability strong again, also hard to find a place; If there is no cloud computing ability of data processing, the big data storage of data rich again, and ultimately, used in practice. From a technical point of view, large data relies on the cloud computing. Huge amounts of data storage technology, massive data management technology, graphs programming model is the key technology of cloud computing, are also big data technology base. And the data will be "big", themost important is the technology provided by the cloud computing platform. After the data is on the "cloud", broke the past their segmentation of data storage, more easy to collect and obtain, big data to present in front of people. From the focus, the emphasis of the big data and cloud computing. The emphasis of the big data is all sorts of data, broad, deep huge amounts of data mining, found in the data value, forcing companies to shift from "business-driven" for "data driven”. And the cloud is mainly through the Internet, extension, and widely available computing and storage resources and capabilities, its emphasis is IT resources, processing capacity and a variety of applications, to help enterprises save IT deployment costs. Cloud computing the benefits of the IT department in enterprise, and big data benefit enterprise business management department.2 Big data and cloud computing technology analysis of the influence of the audit2.1 Big data and cloud computing technology promote the development of continuous audit modeIn traditional audit, the auditor only after completion of the audited business audit, and audit process is not audit all data and information, just take some part of the audit. This after the event, and limited audit on the audited complex production and business operation and management system is difficult to make the right evaluation in time, and for the evaluation of increasingly frequent and complex operation and management activities of the authenticity and legitimacy is too slow. Along with the rapid development of information technology, more and more audit organization began to implement continuous audit way, to solve the problem of the time difference between audit results and economic activity. However, auditors for audit, often limited by current business conditions and information technology means, the unstructured data to digital, or related detail data cannot be obtained, the causes to question the judgment of the are no specific further and deeper. And big data and cloud computing technology can promote the development of continuous audit mode, make the information technology and big data and cloud computing technology is better, especially for the business data and risk control "real time" to demand higher specific industry, such as banking, securities, insurance industry, the continuous audit in these industries is imminent.2.2 Big data and cloud computing technology to promote the application of overall audit modeThe current audit mode is based on the evaluation of audit risk to implement sampling audit. In impossible to collect and analyze the audited all economic business data, the current audit modemainly depends on the audit sampling, from the perspective of the local inference as a whole, namely to extract the samples from working on the audit, and then deduced the whole situation of the audit object. The sampling audit mode, due to the limited sample drawn, and ignored the many and the specific business activity, the auditors cannot find and reveal the audited major fraud, hidden significant audit risks. Big data and cloud computing technology for the auditor, is not only a technical means are available, the technology and method will provide the auditor with the feasibility of implementing overall audit mode. Using big data and cloud computing technology, cross-industry, across the enterprise to collect and analysis of the data, can need not random sampling method, and use to collect and analyze all the data of general audit mode. Use of big data and cloud computing technology overall audit mode is to analyze all the data related to the audit object allows the auditor to establish overall audit of the thinking mode; can make the modern audit for revolutionary change. Auditors to implement overall audit mode, can avoid audit sampling risk. If could gather all the data in general, you can see more subtle and in-depth information, deep analysis of the data in multiple perspectives, to discover the hidden details in the data information of value to the audit problem. At the same time, the auditor implement overall audit mode, can be found from the audit sampling mode can find problems.2.3 Big data and cloud computing technology for integrated application of the audit resultsAt present, the auditor audit results is mainly provided to the audit report of the audited, its format is fixed, single content, contains less information. As the big data and cloud computing technology is widely used in the audit, the auditor audit results in addition to the audit report, and in the process of audit collection, mining, analysis and processing of large amounts of information and data, can be provided to the audited to improve management, promote the integrated application of the audit results, improve the comprehensive application effect of the audit results. First of all, the auditor in the audit to obtain large amounts of data and related information of summary and induction, financial, business and find the inner rules of operation and management etc, common problems and development trend, through the summary induces a macroscopic and comprehensive strong audit information, to provide investors and other stakeholders audited data prove that, correlation analysis and decision making Suggestions, thus promoting the improvement of the audited management level. Second, auditors by using big data and cloud computing technology can be the same problem in different category analysis and processing, from a differentAngle and different level of integration of refining to satisfy the needs of different levels. Again, the auditor will audit results for intelligent retained, by big data and cloud computing technology, to regulation and curing the problem in the system, in order to calculate or determine the problem developing trend, an early warning of the auditees.3 Big data and cloud computing technology promote the relationship between the applications of evidenceAuditors in the audit process should be based on sufficient and appropriate audit evidence audit opinion, and issue the audit report. However, under the big data and cloud computing environment, auditors are faced with both a huge amount data screening test, and facing the challenge of collecting appropriate audit evidence. Auditors when collecting audit evidence, the traditional thinking path is to collect audit evidence, based on the causal relationship between the big data analysis will be more use of correlation analysis to gather and found that the audit evidence. But from the perspective of audit evidence found, because of big data technology provides an unprecedented interdisciplinary, quantitative dimensions available, made a lot of relevant information to the audit records and analysis. Big data and cloud computing technology has not changed the causal relationship between things, but in the big data and cloud computing technology the development and use of correlation, makes the analysis of data dependence on causal logic relationship is reduced, and even more inclined to application based on the analysis of correlation data, on the basis of correlation analysis of data validation is large, one of the important characteristics of cloud computing technology. In the big data and cloud computing environment, the auditor can collect audit evidence are mostly electronic evidence. Electronic evidence itself is very complex, and cloud computing technology makes it more difficult to obtain evidence of the causal. Auditors should collect from long-term dependence on cause and effect and found that the audit evidence, into a correlation is used to collect and found that the audit evidence.译文大数据、云计算技术与审计Chaudhuri S摘要目前，大数据伴随着云计算技术的发展，正在对全球经济社会生活产生巨大的影响。

Contemporary Accounting Research, 2015, 25(1): 219.原文The Discussion of Audit Risk ControlC E HoganAbstractFor any one market, seeking resources optimal configuration is its internal requirements, this requirement with complete information between market subjects, in reality, however, investors and by investors, creditors and debtors, regulators and inevitable existence of information asymmetry between the regulated, audit the generation of the industry is to eliminate the information asymmetry. Certified public accountants to verify statements of the financial information of foreign enterprises and other information, the truth of market main body with information as close as possible to complete information is the process of the audit. Since the audit conclusion is certified public accountants in sampling surveys on the basis of the subjective conclusion, usually can't be absolutely perfect information, the audit risk and the audit risk is the audit itself inherent cannot evade a question.Keywords: audit risk, audit risk management and risk control1 IntroductionAuditing profession development, has become an indispensable organic part of market economy, in the establishment and maintenance of the capital market development, holds an important place of audit, audit of the financial market is hard to imagine.In recent years, however, in view of the accounting firms and certified public accountants case erupted repeatedly, most lawsuits and high litigation of the damages to the whole industry development.2002 of the American journal of accounting statistics results show that the United States over the past 15 years for the auditor to accuse lawsuit, far more than the whole industry occurred in the 105 - year history of the total number of ['];European Ernst & young, KPMG, delete and PWC international accounting firms in 2007, a year only received compensation lawsuit, claim amountmore than $1 billion in six, demanded amount of between $350 million to $1 billion with 12.Strengthen research of audit risk and its management, therefore, not only relates to the interests of the subject of audit and reputation, and is related to the construction of the economic system, is not only beneficial to audit the construction industry, promote audit, benign and healthy development of the career but also to contain or block the audit risk caused a chain reaction, make the audit resources to have economic benefits and social benefits in the direction of the flow, promote the reasonable allocation of social resources and social stability.2 Literature reviewIn 1978, D.H. Roberts (D.H.R obverts) raises the ultimate audit risk model, its mathematical expression is: the ultimate risk inherent risk control risk x 2 analytical detection risk and (+ sampling risk not sampling risk).In 1981, the auditing standards board (AlCPA) standards of 39 announcement the audit sampling and brought forward a new model of audit risk, this theory is that the audit.Risks from the analysis of inherent risk, control risk anddetection risk and testing of four risk in detail, including: inherent risk and control risk the risk of significant error in financial statements and analytical examination and detailed test risks said the risk of significant error in the financial statements are not found. In 1983, the auditing standards board (AICPA) is explained in the auditing standards no. 47 "audit risk and the importance of audit services" (sAS47 #) of the audit risk model and made the changes, the revised audit model: audit risk inherent risk 2 x check risk control. As a result of this model includes the main audit risk factors, and shows that the number of the relationship between each risk factor, convenient measurement, operability and applicability, and therefore most audit organization and the international accounting firms are using this model, the independent auditing standards are also using this model. In 2004, the international auditing standards are revised in SAS47 # auditing standards audit model on the basis of a new audit risk model is put forward, its abstract expression is: the risk of material misstatement risk in audit risk = x check, this model to control risk and inherent risk into comprehensiverisk, and said with the risk of material misstatement. The model that audit risk depends on the size of the material misstatement risk and check risk, certified public accountant shall risk assessment of the implementation process, evaluation of material misstatement risk, and further to design and implement audit according to the results of the assessment program, to control the inspection risk, to reduce audit risk to an acceptable level.And for some institutions and scholars，Audit risk theory put forward its own views is put forward in 1983: Audit risk inherent risk control risk x x = analytical detection risk and substantive testrisk [6]; the auditing practices board (APC) in 1988, an audit risk model is put forward, namely: audit risk = inherent risk control risk x x x sampling risk. In 1997, Alvin. A. Arenas and James k. loss baker (Alvin a. Arenas and James k. Lob eke) published monograph in combination with the audit learn A "(Auditing - An integrated Approach) adopted the system foundation audit and the risk-based audit pattern, on the basis of the risk assessment of the audited units, comprehensive analysis and evaluation of various influence factors of the audited units of economic activity, and according to the quantitative risk level to determine the implementation of the audit scope, focus, and carries on the substantive examination.3 Audit risk management and control3.1 Audit project management and controlEntrusted by the audit stage, first of all should carefully choose the auditees. Industry, the development level of industry correlation and macro-economic conditions, the types of industry market information such as help auditors on the current operating situation of the customer to make a preliminary judgment, and thus to initial positioning its risk. Customer’s own information focus should examine its management level, management level and sustainable management ability and senior management personnel quality, and so on and so forth. Auditors take special attention in the understanding of the unusual move, especially in the audit of listed company, any signs of abnormal behavior will have its exposed, namely risk signal. Between the auditor and the client if there is a related party relationship will affect theindependence of the audit, therefore when determining accepting new clients to avoid this kind of relationship to weakenthe independence of certified public accountants. In commissioned phase can be a new customer list to inform law firm of professional auditors.Implementation stage of the audit specific controlled by implementation and business substantive testing phase and implementation detailed analytical testing and balance testing phase two phases, this stage guided by the audit plan, audit risk control oriented, to obtain audit evidence as the basic goals, the establishment of the internal control system of the audited units first and abide by the conditions for conformance test, according to the test results revised audit plan; And then to substantive testing of accounting report project data, evaluation and appraisal according to the test result.Way to achieve the goal of certified public accountants audit is the implementation of audit procedures, and the result is to achieve the goal of the audit through the audit report to reflect. Audit report reflects the client's final request, also reflect the quality of audit work to accomplish the task, and is also the judgement of the audited matters and conclusion. Therefore audit report stage is to audit the project quality and degree of risk control, the last part of the project risk control.3.2 Audit industry risk management and controlA sound system of laws and regulations is the audit laws is the basic measures to guard against auditing risk. Audit theory system must have a tight inner logic, to become a mature discipline and guide audit practice. Revised auditing standards as the core of the audit standard system, pay attention to the improvement on the application of audit risk model, perfect the risk-oriented audit on the implementation of the specific procedures of specific methods, such as the evaluation of internalcontrol system, the control test and confirm the audit sampling method, test phase use expectation level of audit risk, inherent risk, control risk and detection risk and legal responsibility audit litigation risk and evaluation method, etc., for the auditor in practice to establish a normative and principled technical guidance system, enables the auditor's practice to rules-based and laws.An institute of certified public accountants should give full play to the function of its industry association, to further promote the improvement of the industry standards, strengthen supervision, to establish credit rating, filing system, peer review and experience exchange. In addition, an institute of certified public accountants shall promote the legislation and building rules and regulations, work, and take some measures to protect the lawful rights and interests of a member of the association. To explore in practice, summarize the experience on the basis of the audit work must be formulated in compliance with standards and guidelines as soon as possible, the audit procedures, content, clerical, language use and so on shall be clearly stipulated; Strengthen the constraints supervision mechanism, establish and perfect the relevant regulations of the peer review and the system.3.3 Audit environment risk management and controlThe audit environment is constantly changing. Industrial society to information society and the transformation of the knowledge economy era, the progressive realization of economic globalization, the modern enterprise system gradually introduced, further improving the corporate governance structure, information technology is widely applied in the audit practice, etc. Play an important role in the audit environment, isthe auditor's quality and skills, social expectations and requirements for the audit, the development of related disciplines and so on.For the improvement of the audit environment and reform, not the auditing profession or an institute of certified public accountants can be achieved, it needs the joint efforts of the whole society, such as the correct understanding of the auditing profession widespread public, to reduce the audit expectation gap; To improve the standardization of the capital market operations and the transparency of information disclosure; Perfect the construction of accounting legal system, etc.4 ConclusionsAudit is to monitor the development of social economy, the important aspect of optimizing the allocation of resources, the development of capital market prosperity and stability is particularly important. Audit risk management throughout all aspects of the audit activities, throughout the audit activities. Public accounting firms andcertified public accountants as the main body of the audit risk management, especially must pay attention to in the daily audit practice and strengthen the audit risk management, they need to improve its own, perfect the causes of audit risk, and thus achieve the control of the audit risk more effectively.译文对审计风险控制的探讨C E Hogan摘要对于任何一个市场而言,寻求资源的最优配置都是其内在要求,这要求市场主体之间具备完全信息,然而现实中,投资者与被投资者、债权人与债务人、监管者与被监管者之间必然存在信息的不对称,审计这一行业的产生就是为了消除这种信息的不对称。
审计风险的形成基本原因毕业论文外文翻译
审计风险的形成基本原因毕业论文外文翻译中文2390字The basic reason of auditing riskWith the establishment of market economy system, the audit in the maintenance of market economic order, an increasingly prominent role, people's understanding and awareness of the audit more profound at the same time more and more high expectations of the audit, resulting audit responsibilities and audit risk also become larger. Certified Public Accountants (hereinafter referred to cPA) as a statutory social audit practitioners, the increasing concern of the community, responsibility and role is also growing. In the new situation, how to prevent audit risk, audit risk to quantitative analysis to enhance the overall level of audit work before us has become an important issue. False accounting information in China is full of market circumstances, the auditor should not only perform the duties of social identification, but also to cooperate with the audited object, the pursuit of certain economic interests, but also the difficulties facing a claim at any time, is the so-called CPA industry dilemma.Therefore, CPA in the law, professional ethics and self-interest continue to maintain a balance between the breaking point of balance, for balance. Is also undeniable that China has a lot of CPA's audit, audit risk is too high there is a direct impact on the quality of China's CPA practice, the basis of international reputation and survival. National Audit Office Furniture 2001 organizations in 16 annual financial statements of listed companies qualified accounting firm audit completed in 2001 into line quality audit services to inspect. During the inspection,the departments concerned had taken the accounting firm issued 32 audit reports and audit reports of 21 listed companies involved in the audit investigation, inspection found that 14 accounting firm issued false and 23 were seriously The audit report, resulting in false 7.143 billion yuan of financial accounting information, involving 41 certified public accountants.Moreover, audit risk also exists in the world, Enron Enron case there's four issues (use of "special purpose entities" over-estimated profit, underestimated liabilities; through the air hanging notes receivable, overvalued assets and shareholder equity;through limited partnership, push for profits: using partnership networks, self-dealing, suspected of concealing large losses) since the independence of the audit firm Anda debt is not enough, the same auditing firm Arthur Andersen created the risk.Also has “the world to pass the event”, “the silver broad summer event”, “the East electron event” and so on, has promulgated chartered accountant the audit risk universality. How to strengthen the audit risk the management, the active control and di evades the audit risk, raises to the audit quality, remoulds chartered accountant the fair social image, becomes each Accounting firm and jobholders' urgent matter and may not the shift responsibility. Before the county, the academic match is mostly the qualitative analysis expectation audit risk, the inherent risk, the control risk and the detection risk. Not the special theory frame or the guide provide the assessment method for these risks, middle the actual audit work is first according to the profession custom determination expectation audit risk, then the subjective determination inherent risk and the control risk, have not acted according to each to audit unit'sactual situation to determine it has the expectation audit risk, expected the audit risk theTherefore, quantitative study to determine desired audit risk, inherent risk, control risk and detection risk approach, and through overall audit risk and comparing the desired audit risk is whether the audit Gongzuo, developed at such a one kind of audit risk assessment methods for reducing audit risk level, to improve the quality of audit work has important theoretical and practical significance.Research paradigm and research methods from the point of view, audit risk study is divided into three categories: (1) Auditing and Management in the logical framework of the law or regulations of the use of theoretical study and discuss the interpretation of the audit objectives, audit environment, audit responsibilities, the audit method and the relationship between audit risk; (2) Experimental and field studies in Auditing, psychology, behavioral science and sociology of the logical framework. Analysis of the impact of audit risk factors and control methods; (3) with empirical research methods in law and economics within the logical framework to discuss the institutional environment, audit risk and audit, the relationship betweenmarket structure. Internal audit risk of the past, the main use of more standard, experimental research, field research, and the relative lack of empirical research.The more complex the object of the audit, the audit of the contents of the more extensive and more difficult for the audit, audit the greater the risk. Reliance on the audit opinion to improve and expand the scope of audit opinions, audit risk is formed by one of the reasons. Modern economic life, peoplehave the reliability of financial statements provide information on the growing importance of accounting statement users want to improve through the audit the reliability of accounting information in order to reduce the decision risk, therefore, their views on the audit has become increasingly dependent. And the impact of the scope of the audit opinion is also growing, reliance on the audit opinion can be more and more people, once they suffer losses in the market requires that there be compensation from the auditor to audit risk increases.Also, the internal audit unit was and external economic environment is the formation of audit risk factors. These internal and external economic environment will impact on enterprise risk management, audit risk and thus affect noon.(1)audit risk form of subjective reasons.First, the auditor's experience and ability to directly led to the formation of audit risk. As the Audit object content of the complexity and breadth of the audit, audit opinion and people's dependence on increasing community on the auditors to make professional judgments, required audit must therefore have good experience and a higher judge ability, experience and ability, but always limited, inevitably express the error in the audit process the audit opinion, the formation of audit risk.Second, the audit staff are not strong enough sense of responsibility, failing to maintain proper professional caution is also the reason for the formation of audit risk. Auditing standards requires not only the audit staff with technical expertise, should also have a strong sense of responsibility in the audit process to maintain due professional care attitude. If the auditors responsibility is poor, work hard, work will cause many unnecessary mistakes, so have been able to find the problem cannot be found in time. If the auditors did not keep their professional and cautious attitude, willmake the audit process should be not carried out, resulting in the generation of audit risk.(2)the reasons for the audit method itself.The auditors use the modern auditing method itself has the flaw is also the substantial clause which the audit risk forms. The modern auditing method takes seriously to reduce the audit cost, emphasized the audit cost and audit risk's balanced, uses the auditing routine take allows to be possible to have certain audit risk as a premise, and the sampling audit method and the analytical reexamine the method the application penetration in the entire audit risk. Therefore the audit result has certain error inevitably.审计风险的形成基本原因随着市场经济体制的确立，审计在维护市场经济秩序方面的作用越来越突出，人们对审计的理解和认识越来越深刻，同时对审计的期望值越来越高，致使审计责任和审计风险也随之加大。

Since the audit conclusion is certified public accountants in sampling surveys on the basis of the subjective conclusion, usually can't be absolutely perfect information, the audit risk and the audit risk is the audit itself inherent cannot evade a question.Keywords: audit risk, audit risk management and risk control1 IntroductionAuditing profession development, has become an indispensable organic part of market economy, in the establishment and maintenance of the capital market development, holds an important place of audit, audit of the financial market is hard to imagine.In recent years, however, in view of the accounting firms and certified public accountants case erupted repeatedly, most lawsuits and high litigation of the damages to the whole industry development.2002 of the American journal of accounting statistics results show that the United States over the past 15 years for the auditor to accuse lawsuit, far more than the whole industry occurred in the 105 - year history of the total number of ['];European Ernst & young, KPMG, delete and PWC international accounting firms in 2007, a year only received compensation lawsuit, claim amountmore than $1 billion in six, demanded amount of between $350 million to $1 billion with 12.Strengthen research of audit risk and its management, therefore, not only relates to the interests of the subject of audit and reputation, and is related to the construction of the economic system, is not only beneficial to audit the construction industry, promote audit, benign and healthy development of the career but also to contain or block the audit risk caused a chain reaction, make the audit resources to have economic benefits and social benefits in the direction of the flow, promote the reasonable allocation of social resources and social stability.2 Literature reviewIn 1978, D.H. Roberts (D.H.R obverts) raises the ultimate audit risk model, its mathematical expression is: the ultimate risk inherent risk control risk x 2 analytical detection risk and (+ sampling risk not sampling risk).In 1981, the auditing standards board (AlCPA) standards of 39 announcement the audit sampling and brought forward a new model of audit risk, this theory is that the audit.Risks from the analysis of inherent risk, control risk and detection risk and testing of four risk in detail, including: inherent risk and control risk the risk of significant error in financial statements and analytical examination and detailed test risks said the risk of significant error in the financial statements are not found. In 1983, the auditing standards board (AICPA) is explained in the auditing standards no. 47 "audit risk and the importance of audit services" (sAS47 #) of the audit risk model and made the changes, the revised audit model: audit risk inherent risk 2 x check risk control. As a result of this model includes the main audit risk factors, and shows that the number of the relationship between each risk factor, convenient measurement, operability and applicability, and therefore most audit organization and the international accounting firms are using this model, the independent auditing standards are also using this model. In 2004, the international auditing standards are revised in SAS47 # auditing standards audit model on the basis of a new audit risk model is put forward, its abstract expression is: the risk of material misstatement risk in audit risk = x check, this model to control risk and inherent risk into comprehensiverisk, and said with the risk of material misstatement. The model that audit risk depends on the size of the material misstatement risk and check risk, certified public accountant shall risk assessment of the implementation process, evaluation of material misstatement risk, and further to design and implement audit according to the results of the assessment program, to control the inspection risk, to reduce audit risk to an acceptable level.And for some institutions and scholars，Audit risk theory put forward its own views is put forward in 1983: Audit risk inherent risk control risk x x = analytical detection risk and substantive test risk [6]; the auditing practices board (APC) in 1988, an audit risk model is put forward, namely: audit risk = inherent risk control risk x x x sampling risk. In 1997, Alvin. A. Arenas and James k. loss baker (Alvin a. Arenas and James k. Lob eke) published monograph in combination with the audit learn A "(Auditing - An integrated Approach) adopted the system foundation audit and the risk-based audit pattern, on the basis of the risk assessment of the audited units, comprehensive analysis and evaluation of various influence factors of the audited units of economic activity, and according to the quantitative risk level to determine the implementation of the audit scope, focus, and carries on the substantive examination.3 Audit risk management and control3.1 Audit project management and controlEntrusted by the audit stage, first of all should carefully choose the auditees. Industry, the development level of industry correlation and macro-economic conditions, the types of industry market information such as help auditors on the current operating situation of the customer to make a preliminary judgment, and thus to initial positioning its risk. Customer’s own information focus should examine its management level, management level and sustainable management ability and senior management personnel quality, and so on and so forth. Auditors take special attention in the understanding of the unusual move, especially in the audit of listed company, any signs of abnormal behavior will have its exposed, namely risk signal. Between the auditor and the client if there is a related party relationship will affect theindependence of the audit, therefore when determining accepting new clients to avoid this kind of relationship to weaken the independence of certified public accountants. In commissioned phase can be a new customer list to inform law firm of professional auditors.Implementation stage of the audit specific controlled by implementation and business substantive testing phase and implementation detailed analytical testing and balance testing phase two phases, this stage guided by the audit plan, audit risk control oriented, to obtain audit evidence as the basic goals, the establishment of the internal control system of the audited units first and abide by the conditions for conformance test, according to the test results revised audit plan; And then to substantive testing of accounting report project data, evaluation and appraisal according to the test result.Way to achieve the goal of certified public accountants audit is the implementation of audit procedures, and the result is to achieve the goal of the audit through the audit report to reflect. Audit report reflects the client's final request, also reflect the quality of audit work to accomplish the task, and is also the judgement of the audited matters and conclusion. Therefore audit report stage is to audit the project quality and degree of risk control, the last part of the project risk control.3.2 Audit industry risk management and controlA sound system of laws and regulations is the audit laws is the basic measures to guard against auditing risk. Audit theory system must have a tight inner logic, to become a mature discipline and guide audit practice. Revised auditing standards as the core of the audit standard system, pay attention to the improvement on the application of audit risk model, perfect the risk-oriented audit on the implementation of the specific procedures of specific methods, such as the evaluation of internal control system, the control test and confirm the audit sampling method, test phase use expectation level of audit risk, inherent risk, control risk and detection risk and legal responsibility audit litigation risk and evaluation method, etc., for the auditor in practice to establish a normative and principled technical guidance system, enables the auditor's practice to rules-based and laws.An institute of certified public accountants should give full play to the function of its industry association, to further promote the improvement of the industry standards, strengthen supervision, to establish credit rating, filing system, peer review and experience exchange. In addition, an institute of certified public accountants shall promote the legislation and building rules and regulations, work, and take some measures to protect the lawful rights and interests of a member of the association. To explore in practice, summarize the experience on the basis of the audit work must be formulated in compliance with standards and guidelines as soon as possible, the audit procedures, content, clerical, language use and so on shall be clearly stipulated; Strengthen the constraints supervision mechanism, establish and perfect the relevant regulations of the peer review and the system.3.3 Audit environment risk management and controlThe audit environment is constantly changing. Industrial society to information society and the transformation of the knowledge economy era, the progressive realization of economic globalization, the modern enterprise system gradually introduced, further improving the corporate governance structure, information technology is widely applied in the audit practice, etc. Play an important role in the audit environment, is the auditor's quality and skills, social expectations and requirements for the audit, the development of related disciplines and so on.For the improvement of the audit environment and reform, not the auditing profession or an institute of certified public accountants can be achieved, it needs the joint efforts of the whole society, such as the correct understanding of the auditing profession widespread public, to reduce the audit expectation gap; To improve the standardization of the capital market operations and the transparency of information disclosure; Perfect the construction of accounting legal system, etc.4 ConclusionsAudit is to monitor the development of social economy, the important aspect of optimizing the allocation of resources, the development of capital market prosperity and stability is particularly important. Audit risk management throughout all aspects of the audit activities, throughout the audit activities. Public accounting firms andcertified public accountants as the main body of the audit risk management, especially must pay attention to in the daily audit practice and strengthen the audit risk management, they need to improve its own, perfect the causes of audit risk, and thus achieve the control of the audit risk more effectively.译文对审计风险控制的探讨C E Hogan摘要对于任何一个市场而言,寻求资源的最优配置都是其内在要求,这要求市场主体之间具备完全信息,然而现实中,投资者与被投资者、债权人与债务人、监管者与被监管者之间必然存在信息的不对称,审计这一行业的产生就是为了消除这种信息的不对称。
