题目
The decisions made by management are communicated throughout the organization and become company policy. The results of the policies-----the consequences of managerial decisions----must be reported back to management so that the soundness of company policies can be evaluated. Among the means of communication included in the system of internal control are organization charts, manuals of accounting policies and procedures, flow charts, financial forecasts, purchase orders, receiving reports, invoices, and other documents. The term documentation refers to all the charts, forms, reports, and other business papers that guide and describe the working of a company's system of accounting and internal control.
Internal controls fall into two major classes: administrative controls and accounting controls. Administrative controls are measures that increase operational efficiency and compliance with policies in all parts of organization. For example, an administrative control may be a requirement that traveling salespersons submit reports showing the number of calls made on customers each day. Another example is a directive require airline pilots to have regular medical examinations. These internal administrative controls have no direct bearing on the reliability of the financial statements. Consequently, administrative controls are not of direct interest on accountants and independent auditors.
Internal accounting controls are measures that relate to protection of assets and to the reliability of accounting and financial reports. An example is the requirement that a person whose duties involve handling cash shall not also maintain accounting records. More broadly stated, the accounting function must be kept separate from the custody of assets. Another accounting control is the requirement that checks, purchase orders, and other documents be serially numbered. Still another example is the rule that a person who orders merchandise and supplies should not be the one to receive them and should not sign checks to pay for them.
（ ）are not the means of communication included in the system of internal controls.
B.According rules
C.Manuals of accounting policies and procedures
D.Organization charts

(b) Criticise the internal control and internal audit arrangements at Gluck and Goodman as described in the case
scenario. (10 marks)
(b) Criticisms
The audit committee is chaired by an executive director. One of the most important roles of an audit committee is to review
and monitor internal controls. An executive director is not an independent person and so having Mr Chester as chairman
undermines the purpose of the committee as far as its role in governance is concerned.
Mr Chester, the audit committee chairman, considers only financial controls to be important and undermines the purpose of
the committee as far as its role in governance is concerned. There is no recognition of other risks and there is a belief that
management accounting can provide all necessary information. This viewpoint fails to recognise the importance of other
control mechanisms such as technical and operational controls.
Mr Hardanger’s performance was trusted without supporting evidence because of his reputation as a good manager. An audit
committee must be blind to reputation and treat all parts of the business equally. All functions can be subject to monitor and
review without ‘fear or favour’ and the complexity of the production facility makes it an obvious subject of frequent attention.
The audit committee does not enjoy the full support of the non-executive chairman, Mr Allejandra. On the contrary in fact,
he is sceptical about its value. In most situations, the audit committee reports to the chairman and so it is very important
that the chairman protects the audit committee from criticism from executive colleagues, which is unlikely given the situation
at Gluck and Goodman.
There is no internal auditor to report to the committee and hence no flow of information upon which to make control decisions.
Internal auditors are the operational ‘arms’ of an audit committee and without them, the audit committee will have little or no
relevant data upon which to monitor and review control systems in the company.
The ineffectiveness of the internal audit could increase the cost of the external audit. If external auditors view internal controls
as weak they would be likely to require increased attention to audit trails, etc. that would, in turn, increase cost.

第6题：
3 Susan Paullaos was recently appointed as a non-executive member of the internal audit committee of Gluck and
Goodman, a public listed company producing complex engineering products. Barney Chester, the executive finance
director who chairs the committee, has always viewed the purpose of internal audit as primarily financial in nature
and as long as financial controls are seen to be fully in place, he is less concerned with other aspects of internal
control. When Susan asked about operational controls in the production facility Barney said that these were not the
concern of the internal audit committee. This, he said, was because as long as the accounting systems and financial
controls were fully functional, all other systems may be assumed to be working correctly.
Susan, however, was concerned with the operational and quality controls in the production facility. She spoke to
production director Aaron Hardanger, and asked if he would be prepared to produce regular reports for the internal
audit committee on levels of specification compliance and other control issues. Mr Hardanger said that the internal
audit committee had always trusted him because his reputation as a manager was very good. He said that he had
never been asked to provide compliance evidence to the internal audit committee and saw no reason as to why he
should start doing so now.
At board level, the non-executive chairman, George Allejandra, said that he only instituted the internal audit committee
in the first place in order to be seen to be in compliance with the stock market’s requirement that Gluck and Goodman
should have one. He believed that internal audit committees didn’t add materially to the company. They were, he
believed, one of those ‘outrageous demands’ that regulatory authorities made without considering the consequences
in smaller companies nor the individual needs of different companies. He also complained about the need to have an
internal auditor. He said that Gluck and Goodman used to have a full time internal auditor but when he left a year
ago, he wasn’t replaced. The audit committee didn’t feel it needed an internal auditor because Barney Chester believed
that only financial control information was important and he could get that information from his management
accountant.
Susan asked Mr Allejandra if he recognised that the company was exposing itself to increased market risks by failing
to have an effective audit committee. Mr Allejandra said he didn’t know what a market risk was.

(a) Internal control and audit are considered to be important parts of sound corporate governance.
(i) Describe FIVE general objectives of internal control. (5 marks)
3 (a) (i) FIVE general objectives of internal control
An internal control system comprises the whole network of systems established in an organisation to provide reasonable
assurance that organisational objectives will be achieved.
Specifically, the general objectives of internal control are as follows:
To ensure the orderly and efficient conduct of business in respect of systems being in place and fully implemented.
Controls mean that business processes and transactions take place without disruption with less risk or disturbance and
this, in turn, adds value and creates shareholder value.
To safeguard the assets of the business. Assets include tangibles and intangibles, and controls are necessary to ensure
they are optimally utilised and protected from misuse, fraud, misappropriation or theft.
To prevent and detect fraud. Controls are necessary to show up any operational or financial disagreements that might
be the result of theft or fraud. This might include off-balance sheet financing or the use of unauthorised accounting
policies, inventory controls, use of company property and similar.
To ensure the completeness and accuracy of accounting records. Ensuring that all accounting transactions are fully and
accurately recorded, that assets and liabilities are correctly identified and valued, and that all costs and revenues can be
fully accounted for.
To ensure the timely preparation of financial information which applies to statutory reporting (of year end accounts, for
example) and also management accounts, if appropriate, for the facilitation of effective management decision-making.
