1936年美国会计师协会(AIA)首次正式提出了内部控制的概念。
此后,理论界和学术界不断推陈出新。
但基本上都没有突破会计控制的范围.1992年COSO对内部控制的概念进行了突破和创新,并得到国际社会的高度认可.但COSO内部控制框架流程与内部控制目标之间存在着逻辑缺陷,致使COSO内部控制框架的概念被质疑,实践中也缺乏可操作性和普适性。
实际上,COSO内部控制框架仅提供了一个较为全面的风险控制导引,各个国家和地区中的企业需要根据自身企业内部特征以及外部环境要素设计具有针对性的内部控制体系。
即不同地区中的企业需要界定内部控制的边界,并基于此设计相应的内控模式、机制、方法,以实现企业的全面风险管理和高效的内部控制①。
因此,无论是基于理论层面还是实物层而,重视对内部控制本质、边界和目标等基本属性的研究,是构建企业内部控制体系的前提和基础.既有文献针对内部控制本质及内涵的研究主要涉及两个层次的内容:一个层次是从企业系统和整体效率的视角界定内部控制的概念;另一个层次是企业内控系统的构成单元和子系统。
内部控制的组成部分或子概念主要包括两个方面:一个方而是按照层级结构来分的企业治理层面的控制和企业管理控制;另一个方面是为了满足不同需要而单独界定的企业各职能部门和各层级所确立的内部控制体系,如财务报告内部控制,会一计控制等概念,I—!前比较成型和有影响力!、勺是财务报告内部控制’、「「。
自华,高_立(2011)’‘在困内外相关研究的琴础_上,指出无沦从历史发展、时间考察还是理论逻辑方而看,财务报告内部控制陷入了一个为不能存在的系统寻找独立存在的理由的尴尬境地。
ICI此,应该尽早用“内部拄制”取代“财务报告内部控制”。
杨清香(2010)`”利用马克思认识论,对如何构建内部控制的概念框架问题进行了探讨,认为内部控制的本质是构建内部控制概念框架或理论体系的逻辑起点,内部控制的其他概念或理沦要素都是根据内部控制的木质演绛推论出来的。

Section A – BOTH questions are compulsory and MUST be attempted1、You are an audit manager in Montreal & Co, a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants, and you are responsible for the audit of the Vancouver Group (the Group). The Group operates in the supply chain management sector, offering distribution, warehousing and container handling services.The Group comprises a parent company, Vancouver Co, and two subsidiaries, Toronto Co and Calgary Co. Both of the subsidiaries were acquired as wholly owned subsidiaries many years ago. Montreal & Co audits all of the individual company financial statements as well as the Group consolidated financial statements.You are beginning to plan the Group audit for the financial year ending 31 July 2016, and the audit engagement partner has sent you the following email:Notes from meeting with the Group finance director and audit committee representative The Group has not changed its operations significantly this year. However, it has completed a modernisation programme of its warehousing facilities at a cost of $25 million. The programme was financed with cash raised from two sources: $5 million was raised from a debenture issue, and $20 million from the sale of 5% of the share capital of Calgary Co, with the shares being purchased by an institutional investor.An investigation into the Group’s tax affairs started in January 2016. The taxauthorities are investigating the possible underpayment of taxes by each of the companies in the Group, claiming tha t tax laws have been breached. The Group’s tax planning was performed by another firm of accountants, Victoria & Co, but the Group’s audit committee has asked if our firm will support the Group by looking into its tax position and liaising with the tax authorities in respect of the tax investigation on its behalf. Victoria & Co has resigned from their engagement to provide tax advice to the Group. The matter is to be resolved by a tribunal which is scheduled to take place in September 2016.The Group audit committee has also asked whether one of Montreal & Co’s audit partners can be appointed as a non-executive director and serve on the audit committee. The audit committee lacks a financial reporting expert, and the appointment of an audit partner would bring much needed knowledge and experience.Financial information provided by the Group finance directorConsolidated statement of financial positionConsolidated statement of profit or loss for the year to 31 JulyNotes:1. Several old warehouses were modernised during the year. The modernisation involved the redesign of the layout of each warehouse, the installation of new computer systems, and the replacement of electrical systems.2.

The non-controlling interest has arisen on the disposal of shares in Calgary Co. On 1 January 2016, a 5% equity shareholding in Calgary Co was sold, raising cash of $20 million. The profit made on the disposal is separately recognised in the Group statement of profit or loss.4. The provisions relate to onerous leases in respect of vacant properties which are surplus to the Group’s requirements.Required:Respond to the instructions in the partner’s email.

At the completion of an operational audit , recommendation to management for improving are normally expected. The purpose of a compliance audit is to determine whether the auditee is following procedures or rules set down by some higher authority. An audit of financial statements is conducted to determine whether the overall financial statements—the quantifiable information being verified—are stated in accordance with specified criteria. The conduct of an operational audit and the reported results are less easily defined than either of the other two types of audits. Efficiency and effectiveness of operations are far more difficult to evaluate objectively than compliance or the presentation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and establishing criteria for evaluating the quantifiable information in an operational audit is an extremely subjective matter.
