Review Questions
h




1-1 The ―crisis of credibility‖ largely arose from the number of companies that restated their
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


previously issued financial statements as a result of accounting irregularities and
h h h h h h h h h h h


fraud. Especially responsible wereiithe very visible Enron and WorldCom fraud cases. Both
h h h h h h h h h h h h


companies filed for bankruptcy and constituted the largest companies in American
h h h h h h h h h h h


history to do so. The extent of the accounting irregularities and fraud being
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


investigated and disclosed brought into question the effectiveness of financial statement
h h h h h h h h h h h


audits. In addition, the criminal conviction of Arthur Andersen, LLP, one of the then
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


Big 5 accounting firms, on charges of destroying documents related to the Enron
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


case brought into question the ethics standards of the profession.
h h h h h h h h h h




1-2 Assurance services are professional services that enhance the quality of information, or its
h h h h h h h h h h h h


context, for decision-making. The two types are: (a) those that increase the reliability of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


information and (b) those that involve putting information in a form or context that facilitates
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


decision-making.

1-3 A financial statement audit is, by far, the most common type of attest
h h h h h h h h h h h h


engagement. The overall assertion,iimade by management, most frequently is that the
h h h h h h h h h h h


financial statements follow generally accepted accounting principles.
h h h h h h h




1-4 A large corporation with securities listed on a stock exchange is required by the rules
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


of the stock exchange and by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


to provide an audit report with theiiannual financial statements furnished to its
h h h h h h h h h h h h


stockholders. It also is required to engage the auditors to provide an opinion on its
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


internal control. Apart from legal requirements, however, a large listed corporation
h h h h h h h h h h h


recognizes that it must maintain investor confidence in the reliability of its financial
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


statements and internal control over financial reporting if it is to continue to be
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


able to secure capital from the public. The report by a firm of certified public
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


accountants adds credibility to the financial statements prepared by the corporation. When
h h h h h h h h h h h


a small family-owned enterprise elects to have an audit, the purpose
h h h h h h h h h h h

, usually is to use the auditors' report to support an application
h h h h h h h h h h h for a bank loan.
