The PCAOB responded quickly to complaints about overly burdensome 404 audits by releasing new guidance and a Q&A to clarify that auditors should exercise judgment and make audits more risk-based and cost-efficient. It is unclear if the new guidance will significantly reduce costs as intended. While the PCAOB and auditors estimate a 46% reduction in compliance costs next year, some business groups were skeptical of that projection. The PCAOB addressed major complaints around areas like annual testing of automated controls and documentation requirements. Overall the changes aim to make audits less rigid and more tailored but opinions differ on how effective the changes will be.
The document discusses whether executives should fight or accept the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations. It argues that SOX itself is not the problem, but the regulations enacted by the SEC and PCAOB have caused massive costs for businesses. It advocates that executives should continue lobbying to revise the implementation rules, establish an independent agency to provide practical guidance, and reduce reliance on manual controls by using automated risk monitoring tools. The goal is to correct the power imbalance between management and auditors and lower the substantial costs businesses face from the current SOX regulations.
This document discusses the need for strong corporate governance following the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. It summarizes the historical events that led to its passage, including the market crash of 1929 and subsequent legislation in the 1930s. However, it notes that human behavior continued to undermine corporate governance efforts over time. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding human nature and behavior within organizations in order to establish effective internal control frameworks and independent oversight of corporate activities.
This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
Basel II compliance measures aim to strengthen risk management in banks but many are unprepared for the new regulations taking effect in 2006, with only 5% of large banks implementing components and costs expected to exceed $61 million. Experts recommend splitting compliance teams or breaking down silos to focus on routine processing separately from compliance strategies, and comparing current practices to the three pillars of Basel II to determine readiness. Risk management advocates argue for adopting a proactive approach rather than panic, noting opportunities to leverage existing risk management tools and compliance best practices from Sarbanes-Oxley to facilitate Basel II adoption.
Sarbanes-Oxley's impact on the COSO cube is that it strengthened the five components of internal control - control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. Specifically, it increased requirements for documenting and testing internal controls, monitoring IT systems for issues, ensuring proper IT policies and procedures are in place, and establishing senior management's oversight of the internal control system.
This document discusses the importance of governance, especially in a regulatory environment. It provides an overview of COSO and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was a response to corporate accounting scandals. It emphasizes that while COSO provided guidance on internal controls, it was initially voluntary and many companies did not implement it fully. Sarbanes-Oxley made internal controls mandatory. The document recommends taking a risk-based approach to compliance and using continuous monitoring to provide ongoing assessment of internal controls, leveraging automation through tools and focusing on key processes.
After Sarbanes-Oxley, companies must embrace strong internal control frameworks and the tenets of corporate governance. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed in response to accounting scandals and aimed to increase transparency and accountability in financial reporting. However, it did not define the role of internal auditors in ensuring corporate governance goals. Repeated corporate failures show that voluntary guidelines are insufficient and that mandated internal control frameworks with independent governance are needed to prevent recurring issues stemming from human behaviors like greed, rationalization, and pride.

The document discusses the growing pressure on companies to improve their close-to-disclose financial reporting process. It notes that CFOs are targeting this process for improvement to reduce errors, speed reporting, increase transparency, and handle new disclosure requirements. The document provides statistics showing that companies with faster quarterly and annual close cycles spend less per $1,000 in revenue on financial reporting. It also discusses challenges companies face in gathering data from multiple systems and entities. Areas that companies are working to improve include reducing close cycle times, increasing automation, identifying error root causes, and better aligning internal and external reporting data. A holistic approach is needed that addresses people, processes, and systems.

Time to Grow, Part 1: Questions CFO’s can Ask About Their Oracle® E-Business ...eprentise
The economy has begun to show signs of recovery. Companies are reporting stronger earnings. Except for what might have been a technical or systemic anomaly, stock indices are on the rise. Unemployment claims are dropping and jobs are slowly being created. Companies that have been hanging on to cash are in a good position to spend it on deals or to hire back workers. In other words, the economy is positioned for growth.

Component Failure Impact Analysis (CFIA) is a method to evaluate the impact of IT component failures and identify single points of failure. There are 3 steps to conducting a CFIA: 1) Identify all components that an IT service depends on; 2) Create a matrix listing the components and services, and mark each component's impact and backup; 3) Examine components with no backup or that cause outages to evaluate risk and identify changes to reduce risk or add redundancy. Done simply with a spreadsheet, CFIA helps improve availability, justify investments, and aid other IT processes like configuration management and problem resolution.

The document discusses how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 led to disproportionate focus on IT controls in SOX-404 compliance efforts. This created problems and challenges as there was no clear guidance on how to scope IT processes and controls to specific internal control objectives. The document proposes that defining new terms, similar to how terms like "force" and "mass" helped Newton formulate his laws of motion, could help address this problem. It suggests an approach taken in another document could help create equivalence for exceptions in IT controls.

Here is a draft audit risk assessment report on Telstra Corporation Limited:
Audit Risk Assessment of Telstra Corporation Limited
Introduction
This report presents an audit risk assessment of Telstra Corporation Limited, one of Australia's largest telecommunications companies. The assessment identifies key risk areas that could impact the accuracy and reliability of Telstra's financial statements.
Industry Risks
As a telecommunications provider, Telstra faces risks common to the industry such as rapid technological changes, intense competition, and regulatory changes. These risks could impact Telstra's financial position and performance.
Audit Risk Model
The audit risk model identifies major risk areas for Telstra based on inherent, control, and detection risk. Key risks are discussed below.
The document is a presentation about a case study involving risks in auditing. A company's CEO suspended senior management at a subsidiary after discovering bribes paid to win government contracts. Four contracts also had improper revenue recognition. The audit committee must decide how to handle the investigation scope, whether to retain the current law firm involved in both the investigation and an upcoming stock offering, and how to balance a thorough probe with upcoming financial deadlines. The presentation discusses facilitating further discussion on these issues and managing various risks. It notes the investigation ultimately found more widespread fraud and financial restatements were required. Lessons are discussed on handling such matters differently to achieve better outcomes.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Wow. Forty-six percent? I was reporting this stuff pretty

documentation is not necessary for an auditor to conclude
that a control was effective?a huge source of complaints
from registrants.
