International audit and it’s purpose

Post by RobertGibson »

An examination of a company's financial statements is called an audit. It is usually presented in the company's annual report prepared by auditors. It usually refers to a specific past accounting period. Upon completion of the audit, an audit report based on a selective review of the company's performance is required. The report includes an income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement and notes summarizing significant accounting policies.

An audit reflects the company's financial position at a given point in time, including information about whether everything owned and owed by a company is correctly recorded on the balance sheet and whether its losses and profits are properly assessed. The financial report must be prepared in accordance with certain legal requirements. When the report is prepared, it must be approved by senior management of the company (e.g. the board of directors) by issuing a verdict on its accuracy.

Audits may also include: asking formal and informal questions, examining tangible items owned by a company such as mechanical and electrical equipment, obtaining written confirmations, and testing and monitoring specific procedures carried out on company premises.

Auditing standards
The standards used for proper examining the financial report are set by a government. There are International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) available on the Internet, containing clear statements which should be addressed by auditors. They consist of introduction, objectives, definitions, requirements expressed by the phrase „the auditor shall”, application and other explanatory material.

There is also an e-Handbook of International Quality Control, Auditing, Review, Other Assurance, and Related Services Pronouncements released in December, 2016 available on the Internet with translations in English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Danish, French, Georgian, French, Kazakh, Italian, Serbian, Russian, Spanish and Thai (for more information see https://www.ifac.org/publications-resou ... view-other). It includes Consideration of Laws and Regulations in an audit of financial statements and amendments and other international standards, consisting of new requirements which address non-compliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR) in the IESBA Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

Core principles of auditing
There are general principles and responsibilities when it comes to General Auditing Standards as well as functions of the independent auditor AS 1001. For example, consideration of materiality in planning and performing an audit, having a direct effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. AS 1005 stating independence in mental attitude is to be maintained by the auditor or auditors. AS 1010, specifying training and proficiency of the independent auditor and stating that an independent auditor represents a person who is proficient in accounting and auditing. AS 1015, explaining due professional care requirements in the performance of work. Other divisions of auditing standards include general concepts. They give a detailed description of audit risk, audit evidence and relationship of auditing standards to quality control standards. General activities describe supervision of the audit engagement, audit documentation, using the work of a specialist and engagement quality review. Auditor communications describe communications with audit committees and communications about control deficiencies in an audit of financial statements. Audit procedures include audit planning, reporting and risk assessment. Auditor reporting includes requirements of reports, financial statements and dating. Matters relating to filings under federal securities laws as well as other matters associated with audits include a view on responsibilities and reviews of financial information.

Audits help to understand and evaluate company’s activities, consider company’s economic issues which may affect its business, identify risks, having an impact on company’s financial state and performance and afterwards generate a business plan which will help the company to improve all the collected data.
