Study Notes

Fraud in Financial Statements

  • Fraud is an intentional act resulting in a material misstatement in financial statements subject to audit.
  • Unintentional misapplication of accounting principles is an error, not fraud.
  • Management's inability to prevent, deter, and detect material misstatements is not fraud.

Auditor's Concerns Regarding Fraudulent Manipulation

  • Low turnover of senior accounting personnel reduces auditor concern.
  • Recent insider stock purchases are not a concern.
  • Increased pressure to meet earnings projections raises risk of manipulation.
  • Stable industry conditions reduce auditor concern.
  • Management's desire to maintain earnings through aggressive accounting practices is a concern.
  • Insider selling of shares is not inherently fraudulent.
  • Conservative financial forecasts are not a fraud risk factor.
  • Lack of independent checks increases the risk of asset misappropriation.
  • High turnover of senior management may indicate an unstable organization structure, and consequently raise concerns related to fraudulent activities.
  • Strained relationships with predecessor auditors may indicate possible fraudulent activities.
  • Inability to generate cash flow from operations could be an incentive for fraudulent financial reporting to occur.

Highest Risk of Asset Misappropriation

  • Large numbers of bearer bonds pose a high risk of misappropriation.
  • Large numbers of inventory items at low sales prices do not necessarily indicate a high risk.
  • Large numbers of transactions in short time frames may not indicate a high risk.
  • Large fixed assets with easily identifiable serial numbers have reduced risk of misappropriation.

Auditor's Responsibility for Detecting Fraud

  • Auditors should design audits to provide reasonable assurance of detecting material errors and fraud.
  • Audit procedures must be designed regardless of the cause of misstatements, whether it's fraud or error.
  • The presence of employee collusion or management override does not change the auditor's responsibility.
  • Detecting employee errors and management fraud is included in the auditor's responsibility.
