[19:46:34] sarmadgul: Yes they do
[19:46:38] balbina: or financial reporting?
[19:46:40] Zlip792: {balbina} I think Yes... They ask Internal Audit dept to design Control System to
overcome risk
[19:46:44] sarmadgul: Both!
[19:46:45] agodirin: yes
[19:46:55] balbina: ok great :)
[19:47:08] hilariousastal: yes by means of internal audit staff it could exert its infuence and
espeically if there isnt a separate risk managment committe
[19:47:09] Zlip792: {balbina} Not much on Financial Reporting I think, management prepare them,
audit team can't influence, if they can you explain please
[19:47:30] hilariousastal: cuz auditors have the function of risk managment and internal control
[19:47:33] sarmadgul: They are resposible to submit a report to share holders for the risk
managemnt process undertaken
[19:47:35] balbina: {Zlip792} AC may oversee it
[19:47:39] Zlip792: {Zlip792} I mean audit committe
[19:47:46] Zlip792: {balbina} Yeah, sorry I forget that

[19:49:02] Zlip792: Black money to white money
[19:49:06] Zlip792: In layman terms
[19:49:26] Zlip792: {balbina} Covering up your criminal proceeds in layers of transaction
[19:49:26] sarmadgul: E.g. tax evasion

the proceeds of any crime is money laundering

[19:52:07] balbina: should look for it?
[19:52:14] hilariousastal: yes by means of possessing the proceeds of crime which is given by the
client in the form of fees of doing audit
[19:52:16] sarmadgul: Important to note is that if an auditor deal in criminal proceeds then its a
criminal liaibility

[19:54:35] hilariousastal: an audit firm should not give indications to the client if it has any suspicious
abt it being involved in money laundering is tipping off
[19:54:39] Zlip792: {balbina} Making them aware that we know you are doing money laundering
[19:54:41] bubblygirl: never tip off a client when u have suspicious

[19:59:04] balbina: it seems to be very expensive option in my opinion
[19:59:23] bubblygirl: audit firm should appint MLRO
[19:59:45] jaweria_saleem: hi
[19:59:52] jaweria_saleem: how much did i miss?
[20:00:01] bubblygirl: {jaweria_saleem} nt much
[20:00:02] funshine99: {bubblygirl} MLRO can be anyone no need to appoint it is usually the partner
[20:00:08] bubblygirl: yeah
[20:00:16] bubblygirl: likely to b partner
[20:00:38] hilariousastal: yes it is expensive but not much if weighed against the prison of partners
of firm its not an LLP
[20:00:39] Zlip792: {bubblygirl} key engagement partner??
[20:00:49] balbina: ok so how can auditor find the fact of money laundering?
[20:00:50] agodirin: The person must be trainned on ML issues
[20:00:57] Zlip792: {hilariousastal} and company like KPMG
[20:01:24] Zlip792: {balbina} Business practice of client make sense
[20:01:30] Zlip792: {balbina} ambigious source of money
[20:01:46] agodirin: that is wher KYK is very important
[20:01:55] balbina: {Zlip792} yes, for example the business which may be easy for money laudering
[20:02:12] agodirin: Politically incline people
[20:02:24] hilariousastal: cash businesses money laundeeres love to deal in
[20:02:34] agodirin: Casinos
[20:02:38] balbina: for example night club :)
[20:03:01] balbina: lots of income but when we enter there are no clients
[20:03:18] balbina: or when it is new created company with high incomes
[20:03:20] Zlip792: {balbina} Banned here in our country if there are some it will be illegal

[20:03:59] Zlip792: Money laundering usually happens in cash proceeds so tracking from banking
channel will be difficult
[20:04:07] balbina: {Zlip792} {Zlip792} yesssss
[20:04:21] balbina: where are cash sales
[20:04:29] balbina: great
[20:05:00] balbina: also auditor may look at many simillar small transactions
[20:05:08] balbina: its may be suspicious
[20:05:23] balbina: why so many transactions when can be one big
[20:05:28] kitt: should the audit firm resign, if they find out that the client is invoved in ML?
[20:05:55] Zlip792: {kitt} If there is no reasonable escape then they should
[20:06:02] sarmadgul: It an auditor suspects before the start of the audit that the client is involved in
the monney laundering, insider dealing etc, he should not accept the engagement
[20:06:09] balbina: or when transactions goes through many companies, its complicates and difficult
rather than simply solution
[20:06:14] Zlip792: {kitt} Usually quiting is last option, how wants to forgo his/her revenue
[20:06:17] sarmadgul: Yes Kit tehy should resign
[20:06:27] jaweria_saleem: if the firm resigns won't it have to provide explanation for resignation?
[20:06:36] balbina: {kitt} auditor should report it
[20:06:56] Zlip792: {jaweria_saleem} Yeah, they do but to appropriate person and through
appropriate channels otherwise it will be tipping off
[20:06:59] sarmadgul: jaweria_saleem: auditor has to report to appropriate authorities at the same
time
[20:07:02] jaweria_saleem: can't lie and can't tip off
[20:07:22] balbina: can always report to acca for example
[20:07:23] Zlip792: {jaweria_saleem} Ethics govern us.. Objectivity and Integrity
[20:07:38] kitt: what would consitutue a resignation in absolute terms
[20:07:39] Zlip792: {balbina} I think ask anonymousely ACCA as well? Am I right?
[20:07:42] hilariousastal: {jaweria_saleem} it creates suspicions on intergrity of client and which may
lead to or end up firm being sued in the court for limited liablity thingy
[20:07:56] balbina: it depends on country

[20:08:05] hilariousastal: as audit opinon could be wrong
[20:08:08] balbina: there are rather local organisations
[20:08:27] sarmadgul: Can enron case be a perfect example for this? where auditor and client were
both held liable
[20:08:47] balbina: in UK it id serious organised crime agency
[20:08:52] jaweria_saleem: well in case of enron audit firm destroyed the evidence
[20:08:57] balbina: {sarmadgul} yep

[20:09:02] funshine99: SOCA
[20:09:09] sarmadgul: But still they were held liable
[20:09:23] sarmadgul: hilariousastal: Ok
[20:09:25] jaweria_saleem: and didn't report
