内部控制是保障组织权力规范有序、科学高效运行的有效手段.为了规范我国企业的内部控制体系、提高公司财务信息的质量和透明度,我国开始建立针对企业内部控制的自我评价制度.但是,由于制度存在漏洞,监管力度不足,以及某些企业自身制度不健全或执行力度不够,有些上市公司会计信息失真,内部控制的自我评价制度形同虚设,财务舞弊的问题依然十分严峻.本文以珠海市博元投资股份有限公司(简称“博元投资”)为例,进行上市公司内部控制自我评价的现实思考.
将香港和内地上市公司两者市场审计意见对股价的影响作比较,以2010-2012年的A股、H股上市的公司被出具非标准审计意见的情况为研究对象,以超额收益法、累计平均异常报酬率为方法进行实证分析.研究结果显示:A股上市公司被出具非标准审计意见对股价的负面影响并没有比其被出具标准无保留审计意见更显著;H股市场的非标准审计意见会使股价下跌;H股与A股非标准审计意见对股价影响效果不同.
2010年,财政部会同证监会、审计署、银监会、保监会制定的《企业内部控制审计指引》(简称《审计指引》)将内部控制的审计意见类型限定为标准无保留意见、带强调事项段的无保留意见、否定意见以及无法表示意见四种,没有保留意见的意见类型.这种规定比财务报表审计意见类型的规定要严格,它符合国际趋同的要求,也有利于提升内部控制在企业监控机制中的地位与作用.然而,实务中却存在保留意见的内部控制审计报告.出现这种情况是注册会计师出于某种需要,还是审计指引本身存在缺陷?本文以某会计师事务所对深圳市天畅电子股份有限公司(简称"天畅电子")2014年度内部控制审计情况为例,做相关分析.
从每年公布的审计收费数据来看,不同行业的企业收费不同,同一行业不同企业的收费也不同。从某一角度上来看,会计师事务所的审计收费虽然有一定收费标准,但由于在标准之外还有一定灵活度,使得收费看似在标准之内,却又很难看出可循的规律。文章以华润双鹤为例,对审计收费标准问题进行分析与思考,并提出了相关建议。
本文运用多元回归的方法对审计意见有用性进行研究,重点研究对贷款续新的影响.结果表明:被审计单位连续两年被出具非标准的审计意见比仅一年被出具非标准的审计意见对银行贷款续新的影响程度更加显著;被出具的审计意见类型由非标准转变为标准的审计意见的上市企业比审计意见类型由标准的转变成非标准的上市企业相对更容易获取银行的贷款续新;同样被出具非标准审计意见类型的上市公司,在银行贷款续新方面,非国有企业的影响程度显著大于国有企业.本文的研究扩宽了研究的范围,丰富了审计意见的作用,对作为远距离利益相关者的银行加强内部风险管理具有理论意义和现实意义,为以后的研究奠定了基础.
<正>作为一种重要的审计手段,延伸审计是在了解被审计单位和评估重大错报风险基础上确定延伸空间和时间,具有检查的主动性。在IPO审计中考虑应用延伸审计时要满足以下四个条件:第一,审计人员能够保持客观、独立以及职业怀疑态度,并且IPO公司及其交易客户能够配合审计人员工作;第二,审计人员发现的值得怀疑的问题是与第三方有关或者主要是依靠被审计单位估计的;第三,审计人员发现的问题是重大的;第四,信息不对称存在,审计人员必须通过外部环境获取更加完整的信息。在满足以上条件时,才适用延伸审计方法。

At present with the rapid development of China's capital market,the demand for audit services is fast growing.However,the performance of China's audit market is still imperfect.Compared with international audit market,due to the differences in business and organizational form,China's accountant firms are comparatively small in scale,which results in their low market concentration.This is because most accountant firms are forced to merge under mandatory institutional arrangements with the push from government.Accordingly,China should take American auditing market structure evolution for reference: moderate encouragement should be given to concentration and transform toward partnership so that large-scale accountant firms can be created with the industrial core competitiveness through merging and various effective integrations can be realized in the consolidated process.
