A Catastrophe a Good Audit Trail Can Help You Avoid

PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014 BY ADAM BLUEMNER


      Ladies and gentlemen, reintroducing your old, but underappreciated friend: the humble accounting audit trail.

      Of course, the idea behind the audit trail is simple, really. When you make an entry or change to your accounting records, your accounting software automatically logs the details for future reference. Who did what, when, how, and for how much? It’s the job of the audit trail to make sure that story is always accessible.

      As straightforward as the audit trail is, maintaining and monitoring it properly can keep your business out of some complicated messes, including fraud.

      The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that 5% of organizational revenues are lost to fraud. That’s more than $3.5 trillion annually defrauded on a global basis. Brought down to the level of the individual organization, the average occupational fraud case amounts to $140,000 of lost revenue.

      The audit trail is the fundamental business tool for both identifying and preventing fraud.

      Fraud, of course, doesn’t just happen magically. It takes an accumulation of actions that will leave footprints. For instance, a common scheme involves entering a record into the AP ledger, printing a blank check, and then assigning a phony payee after the fraudster has made payment to themselves or someone else in on the scheme. This sort of fraud is relatively easy to detect − if there is an active audit trail being maintained and monitored.

      The audit trail doesn’t just provide a mechanism for fraud detection, ..I.. . The presence of a carefully maintained and frequently monitored audit trail also acts as a powerful deterrant, in precisely the same way as a video monitor, alarm system, or any other visible security measure.

Considere o texto abaixo.


"[AuditFile] is a great auditing tool and I love how I can log in while I'm at the client’s office instead of worrying about checking out files like I did with the previous software I used."

− Reviewer A


"AuditFile rocks! I have the opportunity to look at a lot of accounting tools. The sign-up process for AuditFile is one of the easiest I have seen... it only takes a few minutes to be up and running!"

− Reviewer B


"AuditFile.com has been the best project management system we have used, allowing us to easily manage over 20 projects. Their integration of file management and progress reporting has made our practice more efficient. Additionally, the ability to track our target projects with their CRM tool has allowed us to close more deals. Kevin and his team add tremendous value to our small practice."

− Reviewer C


"AuditFile.com has been amazing for our firm. It’s not just a change in platform, but a change in the way we view our audit practice. We now have the reach and resources of firms several times our size. As a small firm who has had parts of their accounting practice in the cloud for years it’s been a goal of ours to move our audit practice to the cloud for quite some time."

− Reviewer D


"AuditFile is a cloud-based audit solution that lets firms track and manage every aspect of the audit, review or compilation process. It's also working on integrating with major online accounting software solutions, so it's more than doing its part to bring audit into the same cloud-based, integrated, automated world that tax and accounting have been in for more than a decade."

− Reviewer E

Blockchain: An opportunity for accountants? Or a threat?

The emergence of blockchain technology has led to a concern in the CPA profession that is perfectly understandable.
Technological advances can threaten people’s livelihoods in any number of professions. The development of the Internet had a devastating effect on newspaper journalists, and some experts say self-driving vehicles may cause huge job losses among truck drivers.
Blockchain, meanwhile, has implications for the accounting profession. Blockchain is a digital ledger on which transactions are recorded chronologically and can be viewed by all who have access. The technology is expected to affect auditing, cybersecurity, and financial planning and analysis.
Erik Asgeirsson, president and CEO of CPA.com, the technology arm of the AICPA, said that some CPAs have anxiety that blockchain might put audit professionals out of business. But while blockchain is likely to change the way CPAs work, he said, he is telling accounting firm leaders that the accounting profession can continue to thrive through the use of blockchain technology.
“It’s going to be a fantastic, secure database that will have uses,” he said during a panel presentation Tuesday at the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance’s Blockchain for Wall Street education day in New York City. “But it’s not going to put them out of work.”
Large and medium-size CPA firms already are seeing the implications of blockchain for their clients, Amy Pawlicki, CPA, vice president–Assurance & Advisory Innovation for the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, said during the panel session. Companies are implementing blockchain into their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, particularly for tasks such as procurement and supplier management.
Blockchain’s ledger-based technology can simplify the procurement process because it enables secure recording of transactions in a way that can lead to unprecedented transparency and increased operational efficiency.
“Our auditors are already auditing transactions in the blockchain,” Pawlicki said.
Blockchain’s transparency gives visibility to all transactions for approved users, and this may decrease auditors’ work with sampling and validating transactions. But this allows auditors more time to focus on controls and investigating anomalies. Meanwhile, opportunities are emerging for CPAs to use blockchain technology as they expand their assurance services to areas such as cybersecurity and sustainability.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do … it’s a great opportunity in an area where CPAs can add a lot of value,” Pawlicki said.
An important next step for the profession in the use of blockchain is accommodations for the technology from standard setters and regulators. SEC Chief Accountant Wesley Bricker, CPA, J.D, said Tuesday that the commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant is investing time in understanding blockchain technologies, and suggested that accounting professionals do the same.
“It is important that those in the accounting profession invest the time to understand new trends and developments in technology and commerce to identify their potential effects on financial reporting to investors,” Bricker said during a speech at a Financial Executives International conference in New York City.
Past developments such as the emergence of computers, ERP systems, and cloud computing have merely changed CPAs’ work instead of making them irrelevant. The same can be true with blockchain, Asgeirsson said.
“Through every phase,” Asgeirsson said, “what’s really happened is that the accountant’s and the auditor’s role has just evolved.”
