" SUCCESS "

Success is not an accident. Success is not a matter of luck. There is a five-step formula that can be followed and, if you have the commitment to follow it you will reap the rewards.


1. Decide what you want:
Make a decision as to what success will be for you. Everyone has a different idea of what success is. If you don't take the time to define t for yourself then how can you possibly get there?
Your definition doesn't have to please anyone else; as long as it pleases you then it will be something that you can throw your energy into.



2. Find out what you have to do to get it:
At the time that you set your success goal you may have no idea at all as to what you will need to do in order to arrive there.

Most people realize that they should have to study hard and long to learn how to become a brain surgeon, but they somehow miss the fact that they have to spend time learning how to completely turn their life around and achieve outstanding success.

Fortunately, some successful people have taken what they have learned over many years and found ways to help you learn quickly and easily.

Studying their teachings can take years off your journey and save you a lot of pain and suffering that you might otherwise experience on your own.



3.Break down what you have to do into daily tasks:
Once you have discovered what you need to do, it is important to break that into bite-size chunks that you can accomplish in a day (still leaving time to meet your other responsibilities).

In this way, each day becomes a mini-success and that will keep your spirits up.


4. Put those tanks in their order of importance:
Each night before you go to bed decide what will be the most important task that you need to accomplish the following day.

Make sure that you organize yourself so that you can complete this task as well as the other things you have to do that day. Successful people know how to make a decision and set priorities. That is the shortcut to success.



5. Complete one of those important steps each day:
If you can accomplish one task each day, you will have accomplished 365 tasks in one year. Imagine how much improvement that could total.

Many people set goals but very few carry out an important, goal focused task each day. It's not that they can't do it; they simply don't do it.


This fifth step is where the power resides. It is the habit of chipping away at your goal each and every day that will bring that goal into reality. If you can't complete a particular task in a day then that task is too big. Keep the tasks small and achievable and before you know it you will have your success goal.

When you look forward, a year it may seem a long way away and that may make you impatient. The interesting this is that impatient people very rarely develop the rhythm of daily action that is necessary to achieve their goals and so when the year has passed they are no closer that they were when the year began.

Keep taking those little steps, one after the other, and you may just amaze yourself at how much you achieve.

Threat to independent

1. Familiarity threat
EA have been audit partner for the past five years.
An EA independence may impaired reason being the close relationship between them.
These may impaired the judgement on the financial statement

Therefore recommended that rotation of the audit partner to avoid familiarity threat

2. Self Review
EA prepare the financial statement as well as carrying audit could provide a self review threat as they may not seen their error or want to report the errors they have been prepared before.

EA should therefore reject the preparation of financial statement

3. Advocacy Threat (supporting client)
Attending the social event with respect to the listing may be inappropriate as EA may be seen as supporting his client in this venture.
There is a threat of advocacy.
Support the client may seen as the the EA are too close with the client.
Therefore they may lose their independent view regarding the audit.
there is also a threat of familiarity.

EA therefore politely reject the invitation by stated reason.

4. Self interest
Under the ACCAs codes of ethics, the EA should not hold any beneficial shares in the client company.
The provision include the audit staffs involved in the audit as they maybe more interested in value of the shares rather rather then correct opinion of the audit.

The shares should be therefore disposal as soon as possible to prevent any potential independence problem

5. Undue dependence
Unpaid fee in respect of taxation services can constructed as loan to client.
An outstanding loan will affect independence as closure of the loan are seen more important than provide an appropriate audit opinion.

EA may need to discuss the matter with the board suggesting payment made alternatively audit work may need to delay until the fees paid

Factors to appoint a external consultant

1. Qualification
He should have relevant qualification to show ability to perform his job

2. Previous working experience
He can show related working experience from previous job

3. Acceptance by other staffs
Employing an external consultant may be difficult as ohter staffs may feel threatened of their job therefore Chief Internal Auditor must ensure internal staffs understand the reason of employing the consultant

4. References
He is able to to provide related refrences from previous employer showing the capability to undertake the work.

5. Project Management skill
He should able to display appropriate project management skill such as leading a team as performing the job need the cooperation form other staffs

6. Confidentiality
He may access to all relevant data that may seem confidential to the Co. Therefore he may need not to disclose the co information to third party

Responsibilities of EA & IA on detect fraud

Main reason for audit work

EA main responsibility is to form an opinion on the financial statement.
Therefore the main focus of the audit work is therefore ensure true & fair view of the financial statement .
The detection of fraud is therefore not the main focus of EA

The main focus of the IA is to review the effectiveness of the Internal control system.Part of the IA responsibilty is to prevent and detect the fraud an errors being occured.

Materiality

In reaching the audit opinion & perform the audit work, EA takes into account the materiality concept which he is not responsible to check all transaction but choosing a sample of the material item. Audit procedure are planned to have a reasonable likelihood to identifying material fraud

However the IA may using much lower materiality limits to carry out detailed substantive testing review of transactions to detect fraud from their audit testing.

Identification of fraud

In situation where EA does detect fraud, then the EA may need to consider the implication for the entire audit ,therefore they have the responsibilities to extend testing to inot other areas because the risk of provide incorrect opinion will be increased

Where IA does detect fraud, they may need to extend testing to others areas to ensure similar fraud not occured in other areas.

Communication between audit firm & audit committee

Under the system of corporate gorvenance ,the external audit primary point of contact with the company is the audit committee, the reason being,

1. EA ensure there is an independent between the BOD and the audit committee.The audit committee consist of NED who by definition are independent of the Co therefore take an objective view of the audit report.

2. In audit committee, they have more time to review the audit report compare to the BOD . The EA therefore benefit from the audit report being reviewed carefully.

3. The AC can ensure the recommendations from EA are implemented because they have independent NED thet can pressurise the BOD to take in action on EA recommendation

4. The AC have more time to review the effectiveness & effiency of the EA work, therefore can make recommendations on re-appointment of EA

Director's action to meet corporate gorvenance requirement

1. Ensuring the chairman and the CEO is the different people
2. Appoint the non executive director to the board & ensuring the number of non-executive director = executive director - chairman
3. Ensuring at least one of the NED have relevant finacial experience
4. Appointing the NED to audit committee, remuneration committee & appointment remuneration
5. Establish the internal audit department to review internal control system & financial statement and make report to the audit committee
6. Ensure the management has appropriate adequate system of internal control & director have the responsibilities to maintain the system
