Bilco Direct Violation By Cupertino
Contacting the CFO of Bilco is a direct violation by Cupertino, as he is reaching beyond his scope as an internal auditor. He has no reason to actively involve himself in United Thermostatic Controls’ operations, when a key part of his position is to remain objective. His actions clearly show that he is not being objective in analyzing the company’s financial standing. As with any company, if he had information or suggestions to share there is a proper protocol on who he should reach out to. A competent auditor would be well aware of that such behavior goes against the integrity he should hold with upmost importance.

    BUS188 Case Analysis 1 YHe

    The fundamental reason George couldn 't ditch his wallet is because most of his favorite retailers do not subscribe to his service provider 's payment system. While in Japan and countries like China, South Korea, and India, corporations have been developing partnerships between multiple entities and standardization on the mobile payment platform, the United States hasn 't adapted this method as successfully as it could. According to Gartner, the mobile payment market will increase from $171 billion in 2012 to $646 billion in 2017 worldwide, but the United States only shares 14% in the global payment market and expected to remain the same for the next 5 years. The growth in the market is so significant, there are many stakeholders striving for a share of it. However, instead of cooperating with the service providers and handset vendors, and standardizing the system, the players compete with each other by developing their own technologies, such as Bluetooth Payment System, Closed Loop Mobile Payments, and Cloud-based mobile payment platform. Service providers see the opportunities and try to take advantage of the technology by charging an exchange fee for every transaction made. In order to avoid the exchange fee, retailers have no choice but owning their own payment network. Therefore, George 's new Google Nexus phone couldn 't be used for all these different payment system, and he is stuck with paying the old-fashion way - credit cards.…

    Who Signs Your Check: Group Project

    Willie Lowman is the internal auditor for Dead Salesman Printing who is currently in the process of auditing the company’s account receivables. He finds that the company is constantly crediting and debiting accounts receivable. The accounts receivable clerk who is a CPA has been entering debits and credits on the A/R account on a regular basis, and at this stage they don’t know how many credits are valid or to what extent they are valid. Willie has also found that the A/R department is significantly understaffed which means that they do not have the staff and/or resources to verify the extent and validity of customer claims. Willie has found many instances especially in large accounts where the customer alleges a claim for flaws in the books received, and pays less than the original invoice.

    When auditing a publicly held company, auditors need to observe principles. The ethical principles of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Code of Professional Conduct are independence, responsibilities, the public interest, integrity, objectivity and independence, due care, and scope and nature of services. More specifically, audit team members are required to be objective and independent with regard to the audit by maintaining objectivity and being free of conflicts of interest in discharging professional responsibilities and by being independent in fact and appearance when providing auditing and other attestation services. Through this one can see how influential the SEC is. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, auditors have to be objective and independent otherwise legal sanctions can be incurred.…

    Q2. Tamira has a responsibility as accountant for Picton to accurately complete the accounting cycle for Picton and to prepare the financial statements in a true and accurate manner, so that a third party can be confident in and rely upon them to make financial decisions. I would not have responded as she did. First of all, twenty-four hours to complete a year’s worth of adjusting entries and prepare financial statements to be relied upon by the bank to make a major financing decision regarding the company is not enough time; and even more importantly, honesty and integrity are vital in the accounting field. Tamira was not honest with the President about the way she prepared the financial statements. In my opinion, this was extremely unethical, because she estimated the expenses of the company in such a way that it could have resulted in an inaccurate picture of Picton’s financial health as a company. If I were in Tamira’s situation, I would first speak with the President and tell him that what he needed could not possibly be accomplished in 24 hours. Then I would…

    Auditing and Audit Committee Policy

    The audit committee is not directly checking the financial statements for irregularities. The eighth tenant of the Audit Committee Policy reads that the audit committee must review financial statements for unusual transactions. Currently, the CEO, Chris Reddy, is performing financial statement evaluations without the oversight of the audit committee. The aforementioned control weakness lends itself to possible fraud risk. The CEO is under pressure to perform on behalf of the shareholders, and Mr. Reddy’s oversight of the financial statements creates an opportunity to misrepresent the performance of Alchemy Inc. Our recommendation is that the Internal Audit department sends the financial statements directly to the Audit Committee for review. The recommendation can be implemented at no additional cost to Alchemy Inc.…

    Summary: Paramedic Ethics For Computer Professionals

    Up to this point the CFO had never been a part of the MRP process request, but my director insisted that the MRP was created and executed as requested. I created, ran the job and supplied the requested data requested by the CFO. About a week later a request to create different versions of the MRP jobs needed to be processed each night for four nights. The request originated from the CFO and the described purpose was for another “presentation”. I asked the MRP forecaster why we needed the MRP runs and if he knew we were completing these tasks for the CFO. The forecaster told me that he was well aware and was directed to make the forecasts based on the CFO’s input. The CFO was working on the data for upcoming corporate internal audit and an IRS audit. The CFO was having us run different scenarios to see which one would have the best forecast and work with the numbers he was…

    Internal Accountant's Report to Management

    It is my opinion that a full financial status review would be in the best interest of the Company. We have taken pride in the fact that we qualify for Government contracts. We should not let anyone else find any fault within our Company. In conducting such a review, we would be able to thoroughly examine aspects of not only our control systems but our personnel and practices. Through a full financial status review we will also be able to determine if there is any fraud or abusive actions being enacted against the Company.…
