    [19:43:09] agodirin: fixing the renumeration of the auditor

    [19:43:20] Zlip792: {balbina} 2. Create liasion between External and Internal Auditors

    [19:43:21] hilariousastal: reviewing the work planes of auditor for the year

    [19:43:27] balbina: {Zlip792} yes AC only helps to appoint auditors

    [19:43:29] fgassita: {agodirin} which auditor????internal or external?

    [19:43:32] balbina: {hilariousastal} yes

    [19:43:35] geoklean: AC is not electing the auditor..is suggesting an auditor

    [19:43:50] hilariousastal: to create independent channel of communication with board for external

    and internal auditors

    [19:44:00] agodirin: external

    [19:44:03] balbina: {hilariousastal} yep

  • 8/13/2019 P7_study_session_1_26082013

    11/25

    [19:44:10] Zlip792: Why others are not coming up and answering

    [19:44:47] balbina: {Zlip792} its ok, maybe they are not feeling comfortable yet, i hope they finally

    speak up

    [19:44:58] balbina: ok i think we mentioned all roles of AC

    [19:45:02] sarmadgul: Zlip792: Beause we know you are smart enough to answer these :)

    [19:45:10] agodirin: some people learn by reading what other write. its ok

    [19:45:22] Zlip792: {sarmadgul} Flattering... LOL!

    [19:45:43] Zlip792: {balbina} Yeah, now move on to next thing...

    [19:46:11] ratimrigs: {fgassita} hey

    [19:46:11] balbina: can AC have any infulence on risk msnsgement proces of company?

    [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

    [19:48:07] Zlip792: {balbina} Just clicked my mind after reading your comment, thanks

    [19:48:10] balbina: {Zlip792} management need to prepare fin stats as you wrote

  • 8/13/2019 P7_study_session_1_26082013

    12/25

    [19:48:12] hilariousastal: and also it can resolve issues in Financial reporting if there are any raised

    by external auditors

    [19:48:29] balbina: ok great guys

    [19:48:30] balbina: :)

    [19:48:36] balbina: we are all warmed up :)

    [19:48:39] balbina: next topic

    [19:48:42] balbina: 2. Money laundering

    [19:48:47] balbina: what is that?

    [19:48:58] sarmadgul: dealing with criminal proceeds

    [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

    [19:49:28] balbina: lets try to write deffinition

    [19:49:38] Zlip792: So original source cannot be easy to locate

    [19:49:42] brithel1: revenue without a clear source

    [19:49:45] agodirin: Using the proceed of crime in a legitimate business

    [19:49:46] balbina: examinator can ask us about that

    [19:50:05] balbina: it is a process

    [19:50:12] hilariousastal: hiding the true source of money and as well as possessing and transferring

    the proceeds of any crime is money laundering

    [19:50:23] balbina: {hilariousastal} great

    [19:50:33] funshine99: dont forget to write the stages

    [19:50:37] funshine99: in ML

    [19:50:41] agodirin: {hilariousastal} love that

    [19:51:16] balbina: ok

    [19:51:25] balbina: what are auditors responsibilities?

    [19:51:38] balbina: can auditor do money laundering?

  • 8/13/2019 P7_study_session_1_26082013

    13/25

    [19:51:40] balbina: :)

    [19:51:58] agodirin: To report it when they see one

    [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

    [19:52:21] funshine99: money laundering involves three stages: placement, layering and integration

    [19:52:21] agodirin: And to report without tipping off

    [19:52:25] balbina: or report when he/she notice that?

    [19:52:33] sarmadgul: which I guess is not covered by PII

    [19:52:43] brithel1: auditors report cases of suspected money laundering activities to the money

    laundering officer

    [19:52:55] balbina: {brithel1} yep

    [19:52:59] brithel1: who then takes the matter to the competent authority

    [19:59:04] balbina: it seems to be very expensive option in my opinion

    [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

    [20:03:01] 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

    [20:03:34] balbina: {Zlip792} oh ok

    [20:03:52] balbina: other examples maybe?

  • 8/13/2019 P7_study_session_1_26082013

    16/25

    [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

  • 8/13/2019 P7_study_session_1_26082013

    17/25

    [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

    [20:08:58] hilariousastal: {sarmadgul} that was an example of auditors libility we will see later

    [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

    [20:09:32] balbina: there is ACCA guidance

    [20:09:48] balbina: ACCA issued two technical factsheets

    [20:09:53] balbina: do you know then?

    [20:11:30] jaweria_saleem: wasn't discussed in kaplan so didn't think it'll be asked in paper

    [20:11:57] jaweria_saleem: they just mentioned that there was a guidance
