　　Professional Level – Essentials Module,

　　Professional Accountant

　　1 (a) (i) Three Kohlberg levels

　　At the preconventional level of moral reasoning, morality is conceived of in terms of rewards, punishments andinstrumental motivations. Those demonstrating intolerance of regulations in preference for self-serving motives aretypical preconventionalists.

　　At the conventional level, morality is understood in terms of compliance with either or both of peer pressure/socialexpectations or regulations, laws and guidelines. A high degree of compliance is assumed to be a highly moral position.

　　At the postconventional level, morality is understood in terms of conformance with ‘higher’ or ‘universal’ ethicalprinciples. Postconventional assumptions often challenge existing regulatory regimes and social norms and sopostconventional behaviour is often costly in personal terms.

　　LevelⅠ: Preconventional level

　　Stage/Plane 1: Punishment-obedience orientation

　　Stage/Plane 2: Instrumental relativist orientation

　　LevelⅡ: Conventional level

　　Stage/Plane 3: Good boy-nice girl orientation

　　Stage/Plane 4: Law and order orientation

　　LevelⅢ: Postconventional level

　　Stage/Plane 5: Social contract orientation

　　Stage/Plane 6: Universal ethical principle orientation

　　(ii) The level that Jack Mineta operated at

　　The evidence from the case suggests that Mr Mineta operated at the preconventional level. Although he seemed lessconcerned with punishment, his actions were strongly driven by the incentives of financial rewards suggesting a rewardsorientation consistent with preconventional thinking. He seemed prepared to ignore internal control systems (‘I’m in thisjob for what I can get for myself – big risks bring big returns and big bonuses for me.’). The internal control systems at

　　Global-bank placed clear limits on traders’ behaviour in terms of limits and exposure to the highest risk derivativeinstruments. Mr Mineta was unconcerned about compliance with controls and prevailing rules would have suggestedconventional thinking. Had he complied with the internal control constraints, he would not have lost the large amountof money. Nor would he have made the large prior profits but these were manifestly not sustainable. Miss Hubu’scomment that he ‘didn’t believe in right and wrong’ excludes any suggestion that his ignoring of rules was driven bypostconventional assumptions.

　　(iii) Stage most appropriate for a professional bank employee

　　The most appropriate level of moral development for Mr Mineta in his work is stage 4 within the conventional level (level

　　2). This level stresses compliance with laws and regulations rather than the 3rd stage which is about compliance with

　　norms to gain social acceptance.

　　Stage 4 is concerned with legal and regulatory compliance and the moral right is that which is the most compliant withprevailing regulatory systems.

　　[Tutorial note: it is possible to argue for other stages. Credit should be given for this only when robustly defended withevidence. Unsupported assertions should not be rewarded.]

　　(b) FIVE typical causes of internal control failure and the performance of Global-bank

　　There are several possible causes of internal control failure. The UK Turnbull report (in paragraph 22) gives examples ofcauses of failure but this list is not exhaustive.

　　Poor judgement in decision-making. Internal control failures can sometimes arise from individual decisions being made basedon inadequate information provision or by inexperienced staff.

　　Human error can cause failures although a well-designed internal control environment can help control this to a certain extent.

　　Control processes being deliberately circumvented by employees and others. It is very difficult to completely prevent deliberatecircumvention, especially if an employee has a particular reason (in his or her opinion) to do so, such as the belief that higherbonuses will be earned.

　　Management overriding controls, presumably in the belief that the controls put in place are inconvenient or inappropriate andshould not apply to them.

　　The occurrence of unforeseeable circumstances is the final cause referred to in the Turnbull Report. Control systems aredesigned to cope with a given range of variables and when an event happens outwith that range, the system may be unableto cope.

　　Tutorial note: accept other, equivalent explanations or references to other governance codes if valid. Study texts makereference obliquely rather than as a ‘list’ to learn. The above points can be expressed in different ways.

　　Time allowed

　　This paper is divided into two sections:

　　Section A – This ONE question is compulsory and MUST be attempted

　　Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted

　　Do NOT open this paper until instructed by the supervisor.

　　During reading and planning time only the question paper maybe annotated. You must NOT write in your answer booklet untilinstructed by the supervisor.

　　This question paper must not be removed from the examination hall.

acca考试怎么搭配科目？: 建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考，这样可以提高备考效率，减轻备考压力，1、F1-F4：为随时机考科目，难度较低，这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9：如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话，推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7（8）再考F8（7），这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段：选修科目中，建议企业首选AFM！第二部分科目进行选择，如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好，可以通过选择AAA，如果SBL掌握的好，可以自己选择APM。
