审计学:一种整合方法 阿伦斯 英文版 第12版 课后答案 Chapter 11 Solutions Manual
Chapter 11Fraud AuditingReview Questions11-1Fraudulent financial reporting is an intentional misstatement or omission of amounts or disclosures with the intent to deceive users. Two examples of fraudulent financial reporting are accelerating the timing of recording sales revenue to increased reported sales and earnings, and recording expenses as fixed assets to increase earnings.11-2Misappropriation of assets is fraud that involves theft of an entity’s assets. Two examples are an accounts payable clerk issuing payments to a fictitious company controlled by the clerk, and a sales clerk failing to record a sale and pocketing the cash receipts.11-3 Fraudulent financial reporting is an intentional misstatement or omission of amounts or disclosures with the intent to deceive users, while misappropriation of assets is fraud that involves theft of an entity’s assets. Frauds involving financial reporting are usually larger than frauds involving misappropriation of assets, usually involve top management, and do not directly involve theft of company assets.11-4 The three conditions of fraud referred to as the ―fraud triangle‖ are (1) Incentives/Pressures; (2) Opportunities; and (3) Attitudes/Rationalization. Incentives/Pressures are incentives of management or other employees to commit fraud. Opportunities are circumstances that allow management or employees to commit fraud. Attitudes/Rationalization are indications that an attitude, character, or set of ethical values exist that allow management or employees to commit a dishonest act or they are in an environment that imposes sufficient pressure that causes them to rationalize committing a dishonest act.11-5 The following are example of risk factors for fraudulent financial reporting for each of the three fraud conditions:Incentives/Pressures- The company is under pressure to meet debt covenants or obtain additional financing.Opportunities –Ineffective oversight of financial reporting by the board of directors allows management to exercise discretion overreporting.Attitudes/Rationalization –Management is overly aggressive. For example, the company may issue aggressive earnings forecasts, ormake extensive acquisitions using company stock.11-6 The following are example of risk factors for misappropriation of assets for each of the three fraud conditions:Incentives/Pressures- The individual is unable to meet personal financial obligations.Opportunities –There is insufficient segregation of duties that allows the individual to handle cash receipts and related accountingrecords.Attitudes/Rationalization –Management has disregarded the inadequate separation of duties that allows the potential theft ofcash receipts.11-7 Auditors use several sources to gather information about fraud risks, including:Information obtained from communications among audit team members about their knowledge of the company and its industry,including how and where the company might be susceptible tomaterial misstatements due to fraud.Responses to auditor inquiries of management about their views of the risks of fraud and about existing programs and controls toaddress specific identified fraud risks.Specific risk factors for fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriations of assets.Analytical procedures results obtained during planning that indicate possible implausible or unexpected analytical relationships.Knowledge obtained through other procedures such as client acceptance and retention decisions, interim review of financialstatements, and consideration of inherent or control risks.11-8 SAS 99 requires the audit team to conduct discussions to share insights from more experienced audit team members and to ―brainstorm‖ ideas that address the following:1. How and where they believe the entity’s financial statements mightbe susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. This shouldinclude consideration of known external and internal factorsaffecting the entity that mightcreate an incentive or pressure for management to commit fraud.provide the opportunity for fraud to be perpetrated.indicate a culture or environment that enables management to rationalize fraudulent acts.2. How management could perpetrate and conceal fraudulent financialreporting.3. How assets of the entity could be misappropriated.4. How the auditor might respond to the susceptibility of materialmisstatements due to fraud.11-9 Auditors must inquire whether management has knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud within the company. SAS 99 also requires auditors to inquire of the audit committee about its views of the risks of fraud and whether the audit committee has knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud. If the entity has an internal audit function, the auditor should inquire about internal audit’s views of fraud risks and whether they have performed any procedures to identify or detect fraud during the year. SAS 99 further requires the auditor to make inquiries of others within the entity whose duties lie outside the normal financial reporting lines of responsibility about the existence or suspicion of fraud.11-10The corporate code of conduct establishes the ―tone at the top‖ of the importance of honesty and integrity and can also provide more specific guidance about permitted and prohibited behavior. Examples of items typically addressed in a code of conduct include expectations of general employee conduct, restrictions on conflicts of interest, and limitations on relationships with clients and suppliers.11-11 Management and the board of directors are responsible for setting the ―tone at the top‖ for ethical behavior in the company. It is important for management to behave with honesty and integrity because this reinforces the importance of these values to employees throughout the organization.11-12 Management has primary responsibility to design and implement antifraud programs and controls to prevent, deter, and detect fraud.The audit committee has primary responsibility to oversee the organization’s financial reporting and internal control processes and to p rovide oversight of management’s fraud risk assessment process and antifraud programs and controls.11-13The three auditor responses to fraud are: (1) change the overall conduct of the audit to respond to identified fraud risks; (2) design and perform audit procedures to address identified risks; and (3) perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls.11-14Auditors are required to take three actions to address potential management override of controls: (1) examine journal entries and other adjustments for evidence of possible misstatements due to fraud; (2) review accounting estimates for biases; and (3) evaluate the business rationale for significant unusual transactions.11-15 Three main techniques use to manipulate revenue include: (1) recording of fictitious revenue; (2) premature revenue recognition including techniques such as bill-and-hold sales and channel stuffing; and (3) manipulation of adjustments to revenue such as sales returns and allowance and other contra accounts.11-16 Cash register receipts are particularly susceptible to theft. The notice ―your meal is free if we fail to give you a receipt‖ is designed to ensure that everycustomer is given a receipt and all sales are entered into the register, establish accountability for the sale.11-17 The three types of inquiry are informational, assessment, and interrogative. Auditors use informational inquiry to obtain information about facts and details that the auditor does not have.For example, if the auditor suspects financial statement fraud involving improper revenue recognition, the auditor may inquire of management as to revenue recognition policies. The auditor uses assessment inquiry to corroborate or contradict prior information. In the previous example, the auditor may attempt to corroborate the information obtained from management by making assessment inquiries of individuals in accounts receivable and shipping. Interrogative inquiry is used to determine if the interviewee is being deceptive or purposefully omitting disclosure of key knowledge of facts, events, or circumstances. For example, a senior member of the audit team might make interrogative inquiries of management or other personnel about key elements of the fraud where earlier responses were contradictory or evasive.11-18 When making inquiries of a deceitful individual, three examples of verbal cues are frequent rephrasing of the question, filler terms such as ―well‖ or ―to tell the truth,‖ and forgetfulness or acknowledgements of nervousne ss. Three examples of nonverbal cues by the individual are creating physical barriers by blocking their mouth, leaning away from the auditor, and signs of stress such as sweating or fidgeting.11-19When the auditor suspects that fraud may be present, SAS 99 requires the auditor to obtain additional evidence to determine whether material fraud has occurred. SAS 99 also requires the auditor to consider the implications for other aspects of the audit. When the auditor determines that fraud may be present, SAS 99 requires the auditor to discuss the matter and audit approach for further investigation with an appropriate level of management that is at least one level above those involved, and with senior management and the audit committee, even if the matter might be considered inconsequential. For public company auditors, the discovery of fraud of any magnitude by senior management is at least a significant deficiency and may be a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. This includes fraud by senior management that results in even immaterial misstatements. If the public company auditor decides the fraud is a material weakness, the auditor’s report on internal control over financial reporting will contain an adverse opinion.■Multiple Choice Questions From CPA Examinations11-20 a. (3) b. (4) c. (1) d. (2)11-21 a. (1) b. (4)11-22 a. (1) b. (1) c. (1)■Discussion Questions and Problems11-2311-24a. Management fraud is often called fraudulent financial reporting, andis the intentional misstatement or omission of amounts ordisclosures by management with the intent to deceive users. Incontrast, defalcations, which are also called misappropriation ofassets, involve theft of an entity’s assets, and normally involveemployees and others below the management level.b. The auditor’s responsibility to detect management fraud is thesame as for other errors that affect the financial statement. Theauditor should design the audit to obtain reasonable assurance thatmaterial misstatements in the financial statements due to errors orfraud are detected.c. The auditor should evaluate the potential for management fraudusing the fraud triangle of incentives/pressures, opportunities, andattitudes/ rationalizations.Incentives/pressures –Auditors should evaluate incentives and pressures that management or other employees mayhave to misstate financial statements, including:1. Declines in the financial stability or profitability of thecompany due to economic, industry, or companyoperating conditions.2. Pressure to meet debt repayment or debt covenantterms.3. Net worth of managers or directors is materiallythreatened by financial performance.Opportunities –Circumstances provide an opportunity for management to misstate financial statements, such as:1. Financial statements include significant accountingestimates that are difficult to verify.2. Ineffective board of director or audit committeeoversight.3. High turnover in accounting personnel or ineffectiveaccounting, internal auditing, or IT staff.Attitudes/Rationalizations –An attitude, character, or set of values exist that allows management to rationalizecommitting a dishonest act.1. Inappropriate or ineffective communication of entityvalues.2. History of violations of securities laws or other lawsand regulations.3. Aggressive or unrealistic management goals orforecasts.d. There are potentially many factor s that should heighten an auditor’sconcern about the existence of management fraud. The factors (1) of an intended public placement of securities, and (2) management compensation dependent on operating results are both factors that affect incentives to manipulate financial statements. The auditor should be alert for other incentives, such as the existence of debt covenants or planned use of stock to acquire another company that may provide incentives to manipulate the financial statements.The third factor of deficient internal control reflects both an opportunity to misstatement financial statements, and an attitude that allows rationalization of actions to misstate the financial statements. As additional examples, the auditor should be alert to the potential to use accounting estimates or discretion over the timing of revenues to misstate financial statements. The auditor should also consider the attitude of management, and whether they are overly aggressive or have previously violated securities laws or other regulations.In addition to the risk factors from the fraud triangle, the auditor should consider other signals of the potential existence of management fraud. These signals may include unusual changes inratios or other performance measures, as well as inquiries ofmanagement and communication amount the audit team.11-25a.b. All of the deficiencies increase the likelihood of misappropriation of assets,by allowing individuals access to cash receipts or failing to maintain adequate records to establish accountability for cash receipts.c. The deficiencies have less of an effect on the likelihood of fraudulentfinancial reporting than they do for misappropriation of assets. The first four deficiencies increase the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting forreported revenues due to the lack of adequate records to establish the number of patrons.11-261. a. Errorb. Internal verification of invoice preparation and posting by anindependent person.c. Test clerical accuracy of sales invoices.2. a. Fraud.b. The prelisting of cash receipts should be compared to thepostings in the accounts receivable master file and to thevalidated bank deposit slip.c. Trace cash received from prelisting to cash receipts journal.Confirm accounts receivable.3. a. Error.b. Use of prenumbered bills of lading that are periodicallyaccounted for.c. Trace a sequence of prenumbered bills of lading to recordedsales transactions. Confirm accounts receivable at year-end.4. a. Error.b. No merchandise may leave the plant without the preparationof a prenumbered bill of lading.c. Trace credit entries in the perpetual inventory records to billsof lading and the sales journal.

Online sales are supported by shipping documents andapproved online customer orders.c. Trace sales journal or listing entries to supporting documentsfor online sales, including sales invoices, shippingdocuments, sale orders, and customer orders.7. a. Errorb. Sales invoices are prenumbered, properly accounted for inthe sales journal, and a notation on the invoice is made ofentry into the sales journal.c. Account for numerical sequence of invoices recorded in thesales journal, watching for duplicates. Confirm accountsreceivable at year-end.8. a. Fraud.b. All payments from customers should be in the form of acheck payable to the company. Monthly statements shouldbe sent to all customers.c. Trace from recorded sales transactions to cash receipts forthose sales; confirm accounts receivable balances at year-end.11-27a. The lack of separation of duties was the major deficiency thatpermitted the fraud for Appliance Repair and Service Company.Gyders has responsibility for opening mail, prelisting cash, updatingaccounts receivable, and authorizing sales allowances and write-offs for uncollectible accounts. It is easy for Gyders to take the cashbefore it is prelisted and to charge off an accounts receivable as asales allowance or as a bad debt.b. The benefit of prelisting cash is to immediately document cashreceipts at the time that they are received by the company.Assuming all cash is included on the prelisting, it is then easy forsomeone to trace from the prelisting to the cash receipts journaland deposits. Furthermore, if a dispute arises with a customer, it iseasy to trace to the prelisting and determine when the cash wasactually received. The prelisting should be prepared by acompetent person who has no significant responsibilities foraccounting functions. The person should not be in a position towithhold the recording of sales, adjust accounts receivable or salesfor credits, or adjust accounts receivable for sales returns andallowances or bad debts.c. Subsequent to the prelisting of cash, it is desirable for anindependent person to trace from the prelisting to the bankstatement to verify that all amounts were deposited. This can bedone by anyone independent of whoever does the prelisting, orprepares or makes the deposit.d. A general rule that should be followed for depositing cash is that itshould be deposited as quickly as possible after it is received, andhandled by as few people as possible. It is, ideally, the personreceiving the cash that should prepare the prelisting and preparethe deposit immediately afterward. That person should then depositthe cash in the bank. Any unintentional errors in the preparation ofthe bank statement should be discovered by the bank. Theauthenticated duplicate deposit slip should be given to theaccounting department who would subsequently compare the totalto the prelisting. When an independent person prepares the bankreconciliation, there should also be a comparison of the prelisting tothe totals deposited in the bank.Any money taken before the prelisting should be uncovered by the accounting department when they send out monthlystatements to customers. Customers are likely to complain if theyare billed for sales for which they have already paid.11-28b. Deficiencies 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 increase the likelihood of fraudinvolving misappropriation of assets. Fraud involvingmisappropriation of assets is relatively common for payroll,although the amounts are often not material. Fraudulent financialreporting involving payroll is less likely.11-29a. The auditor must conduct the audit to detect errors and fraud,including embezzlement, that are material to the financialstatements. It is more difficult to discover embezzlements thanmost types of errors, but the auditor still has significantresponsibility. In this situation, the deficiencies in internal controlare such that it should alert the auditor to the potential for fraud. Onthe other hand, the fraud may be immaterial and therefore not be ofmajor concern. The auditor of a public company must also considerthe impact of noted deficiencies when issuing the auditor’s reporton internal control over financial reporting. When noted deficienciesare considered to be material weaknesses, whether individually orcombined with other deficiencies, the auditor’s r eport must bemodified to reflect the presence of material weaknesses.b. The following deficiencies in internal control exist:1. The person who reconciles the bank account does notcompare payees on checks to the cash disbursementsjournal.2. The president signs blank checks, thus providing no controlover expenditures.3. No one checks invoices to determine that they are cancelledwhen paid.c. To uncover the fraud, the auditor could perform the following procedures:1. Comparison of payee on checks to cash disbursementsjournal.2. Follow up all outstanding checks that did not clear the bankduring the engagement until they clear the bank. Comparepayee to cash disbursements journal.11-30a.* Fraud involves intent. The circumstances suggest that there wasno intent on the part of Franklin to be deceptive. If the purpose ofomitting the footnote was to deceive the bank, then this casewould represent fraudulent financial reporting.11-311. a. There may be unrecorded cash disbursement transactions.b. Because the transactions relate to cash disbursements, thecash account will be affected. The accounts payableaccount may be misstated if the disbursement is thepayment on an account. If the disbursement is for the directpayment of an expense or is related to the purchase ofassets, then expense or asset accounts will be affected.Payments on other liability accounts would impact thoseliability accounts.c. Existing transactions are recorded (completeness).2. a. There may be fictitious accounts receivable accountsincluded in the master file.b. Accounts receivable and sales are likely to be affected byfictitious receivables.c. Amounts included exist (existence).3. a. Management may have manipulated key assumptionsso that pension expense and pension liability amounts wouldbe lower.b. Pension expense and pension liability accounts are likely tobe affected.c. Amounts included are stated at the correct values(Accuracy).4. a. The client may have shipped and recorded largeamounts of goods close to year end to third parties who mayhold the goods on consignment or who have full rights ofreturn. These shipments were made to record a fictitioussale and related receivable.b. Accounts receivable and sales and the related costs ofgoods sold and ending inventory would be affected by thisactivity.c. Recorded amounts existed (occurrence).5. a. Assets that were misappropriated may be concealedby recording purchase transactions using non-standard,fictitious vendor numbers.b. Accounts payable would be overstated and the related assetaccount would be increased by the unauthorized transaction.c. Recorded amounts existed (occurrence).6. a. Sales may be fictitiously recorded before any goodswere shipped.b. Sales and accounts receivable.c. Recorded amounts existed (occurrence).■Case11-32a. There are many fraud risk factors indicated in the dialogue. Among thefraud risk factors are the following:A significant portion of Mint’s compensation is represented bybonuses and stock options. Although this arrangement has beenapp roved by SCS’s Board of Directors, this may be a motivation forMint, the new CEO, to engage in fraudulent financial reporting.Mint’s statement to the stock analysts that SCS’s earnings would increase by 30% next year may be both an unduly aggressive andunrealistic forecast. That forecast may tempt Mint to intentionallymisstate certain ending balances this year that would increase theprofitability of the next year.SCS’s audit committee may not be sufficiently objective because Green, the chair of the audit committee, hired Mint, the new CEO,and they have been best friends for years.One individual, Mint, appears to dominate management without any compensating controls. Mint seems to be making all the importantdecisions without any apparent input from other members ofmanagement or resistance from the Board of Directors.There were frequent disputes between Brown, the prior CEO, who like Mint apparently dominated management and the Board ofDirectors, and Jones, the predecessor auditor. This fact mayindicate that an environment exists in which management will bereluctant to make any changes that Kent suggests.Management seems satisfied with an understaffed and ineffective internal audit department. This situation displays an inappropriateattitude regarding the internal control environment.Management has failed to properly monitor and correct a significant deficiency in its internal control—the lack of segregation of duties incash disbursements. This disregard for the control environment isalso a risk factor.Information about anticipated future layoffs has spread among the employees. This information may cause an increase in the risk ofmaterial misstatement arising from the misappropriation of assetsby dissatisfied employees.b. Kent has many misconceptions regarding the consideration of fraud in theaudit of SCS’s financial statements that are contained in the dialogue.Among Kent’s misconceptions are the following:Kent states that the auditor does not have specific duties regarding fraud. In fact, an auditor has a responsibility to specifically assessthe risk of material misstatement due to fraud and to consider thatassessment in designing the audit procedures to be performed.Kent is not concerned about Mint’s employment contract. Kent shou ld be concerned about a CEO’s contract that is based primarilyon bonuses and stock options because such an arrangement mayindicate a motivation for management to engage in fraudulentfinancial reporting.Kent does not think that Mint’s forecast for 2006 has an effect on the financial statement audit for 2005. However, Kent shouldconsider the possibility that Mint may intentionally misstate the2005 ending balances to increase the reported profit in 2006.Kent believes the audit programs are fine as is. Actually, Kent should modify the audit programs because of the many risk factorsthat are present in the SCS audit.Kent is not concerned that the internal audit department is ineffective and understaffed. In fact, Kent should be concerned thatSCS has permitted this situation to continue because it representsa risk factor relating to misstatements arising from fraudulentfinancial reporting and/or the misappropriation of assets.Kent states that an auditor provides no assurances about fraud because that is management’s job. In fact, an auditor has aresponsibility to plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud.Kent is not concerned that t he prior year’s material weakness in internal control has not been corrected. However, Kent should beconcerned that the lack of segregation of duties in the cashdisbursements department represents a risk factor relating tomisstatements arising from the misappropriation of assets. If theclient was a publicly traded company, the presence of anuncorrected material weakness would significantly affect theauditor’s report on internal control over financial reporting.Kent does not believe the rumors about big layoffs in the next month have an effect on audit planning. In planning the audit, Kentshould consider this a risk factor because it may cause an increasein the risk of material misstatement arising from misappropriation ofassets by dissatisfied employees.c. SAS 99 requires that auditors document the following matters related tothe auditor’s consideration of material misstatements due to fraud:The discussion among engagement team personnel in planning the audit about the susceptibility of the enti ty’s financial statements tomaterial fraud.Procedures performed to obtain information necessary to identify and assess the risks of material fraud.Specific risks of material fraud that were identified, and a description of the auditor’s response to tho se risks.Reasons supporting a conclusion that there is not a significant risk of material improper revenue recognition.。
