istory of Auditing Audits are performed to manage and confirm the correctness of a company's accounting procedures. Auditing evolved as a business necessity once it became evident that a standardized form of accountancy must exist to avoid fraud. It has developed into a standardized yet complex field that is regarded as an important procedure in the management of business finance.

VÊ$    ‘Ê Auditing is a branch of financial management concerned with assessing the

internal financial status of a business. Audits are evaluations of the financial capability of a company. Companies prepare financial statements of their activities, which represent their overall performance. These financial statements are evaluated by auditors, who assess them according to the industry's generally accepted standards. They are examined for accuracy and fairness in their reporting. Companies are expected to pass their audits, as the results are very important to the company's reputation and success. Audits are very valuable to external company affiliates, such as shareholders and investors, because they provide an extra reassurance of their choice in investments when issues arise.

Auditing Auditing existed primarily as a method to maintain governmental accountancy, and record-keeping was its mainstay. It wasn't until the advent of the Industrial Revolution, from 1750 to 1850, that auditing began its evolution into a field of fraud detection and financial accountability. Businesses expanded during this period, resulting in increased job positions between owners to customers. Management was hired to operate businesses in the owners' absences, and owners found an increasing need to monitor their financial activities, both for accuracy and for fraud prevention. In the early 20th century, the reporting practice of

auditors, which involved submitting reports of their duties and findings, was standardized as the "Independent Auditor's Report." The increase in demand for auditors lead to the development of the testing process. Auditors developed a way to strategically select key cases as representative of the company's overall performance. This was an affordable alternative to examining every case in detail, and it required less time than the standard audit.

  ‘Ê Auditing standards differed between America and Britain. American audits

continued to evolve away from being solely a method of detecting errors and fraud, while Britain kept this as its main function. Now, both in America and Great Britain, audits are a standard way of providing a monitoring of a business's financial integrity. Fair reporting practices are used to analyze their financial statements. Audits provide feedback on a company's financial information and reporting, as well as an analysis of any fraudulent activity, potential and actual.

     ‘Ê Testing is now the industry standard for performing audits. It is only when gross

errors and fraudulent activities are discovered that detailed audits are performed. Audits have also commanded the need to establish preventive measures of monitoring the financial activities within a business to lessen the need for frequent audits and to provide simplified follow-ups, should the need for an audit arise. As business increased in complexity, risk-based auditing arose to make auditing more efficient and economical than before. Risk-based auditing actually assesses the need for an audit, based on the information in the financial statements. If many discrepancies are discovered, then it is decided to perform an audit of its financial activities.

    ‘Ê Auditing is now the method of assessing a business's financial statement, with

insight on its success as a company. It is a very tedious and involved profession that is in high demand. Due to its competitive fee, audits are now performed in a more streamlined and efficient way. They are intended to offer companies correction in their activities and to advise them on how to avoid the financial misreports in the future.

  0    1   2V V February 13, 2002 Following the stock market crash of 1929 accountants were entrusted with a new profession and a new mandate to pore over the books of public companies to ensure that the financial records accurately reflected their health.

Certified public accountants quickly gained status as a profession and were respected for their financial acumen and moral leadership as a hedge against unscrupulous companies who might try to hoodwink an unsuspecting public. Advertisement

In those days, accountants were beholden to no one. Public corporations were required by law to pay their audit fees, and they diligently set out to perform their task as a service to investors.

The arrival of the computer on the corporate scene in the late 1950s changed everything. Since accounting was the first application used in the business world, a firm's CPA was the natural shoulder to turn to in understanding this new contraption. IT consulting - which has since boomed into a multi-million dollar industry for accounting firms - was born.

From the start, critics felt uneasy about CPAs' now dual role for their clients. Baruch College Professor Emeritus Abe Briloff touched on the issue in his 1965 doctoral thesis, and over the years the American Institute of CPAs and regulators have critically examined this relationship, but ended up doing nothing. This was at least partly due to the inability of anyone to definitively prove that providing consulting work for audit clients eroded an accounting firm's independence.

To this day, Big Five firms remain firm in their public statements, at least, that their top executives, and the auditors examining client books, are above reproach, and would never compromise an audit just because they also reaped consulting revenue from the same client.

Such an attitude is either bluster or naiveté. It fails to take into account that auditors are human beings, and as susceptible to corruption as any other human.

"The problem is that they underestimate the forces of pressure that come up on them when they both audit and consult," says Accounting Professor Ed Ketz. "The pressure that if you don't let me do the accounting the way I want to, I'm going to take away your consulting contracts."

While these threats are most probably implied, "Everyone understands they're there," Ketz said.

The Big Five may never admit as much, but Congress and the public see right through them, and will make sure better safeguards are soon in place to protect them from themselves. And maybe once that's accomplished the accounting profession can return to its original mandate - ensuring the veracity of a company's financial statements.
