Field work begins on the audit, but there is still no response from the customer. Another auditor scanning the cash journal from the beginning of the year through the current date notes that all outstanding invoices have subsequently been paid from this customer during this period. Customer check copies are provided, and remittances indicate that payment has been received in settlement of all outstanding invoices at fiscal year-end for this customer. But has the existence of accounts receivable from this customer at fiscal year-end really been established? Fraudsters have been creating increasingly complex and sophisticated schemes designed to rely on potential weaknesses in the execution of audit procedures surrounding key assertions such as existence. A financial statement auditor can use his or her professional judgment while carrying out audit procedures to detect such a scheme. Given the difficult economic times of the past year, special care should be given to consider fraud while performing audit engagements. One fraud scheme that has been encountered with increasing frequency involves the inflation of accounts receivable and sales through the creation of a circular flow of cash through a company to give the appearance of increasing revenue and existence of accounts receivable. This article addresses this fraud technique when used to materially overstate assets and inflate borrowing capacity under an asset-based revolving line of credit. This article also points out red flags that may help uncover such a scheme. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
