ACCA F8审计重点:The audit of wages(一)

来源: 高顿网校 2015-10-09
  审计真的那么晦涩难懂吗?看了高顿网校小编整理的ACCA F8知识点:The audit of wages(一)一定不会再这么觉得了!
  1. COMMON PAYROLL FRAUDS
  Even companies that appear to have good internal controls can suffer from instances of fraud. The most common payroll frauds include:
  a) The inclusion of fictitious (ghost) employees on the payroll
  b) Deliberate timing errors
  c) Requesting a cheque for net wages in excess of the required amount.
  d) Payment of unauthorised/invalid overtime
  2. AUDIT WORK ON WAGES
  Most of the audit work on the wages system should be performed during the interim audit but some substantive procedures to confirm payroll costs and wage accruals should normally form part of the final audit.
  Interim audit work on wages should involve the normal stages of recording, evaluating and testing internal controls.
  3. WAGES CONTROL OBJECTIVES
  Typical control objectives for wages include the following:
  a) To ensure that employees are only paid for work done.
  b) To ensure that wages are only paid to valid employees.
  c) To ensure that all wages are authorised
  d) To ensure that wages are paid at the correct rates of pay
  e) To ensure that wages are correctly calculated.
  f) To ensure all wages transactions are correctly recorded in the books of account.
  g) To ensure that all payroll deductions are paid over to appropriate third parties (for example, tax authorities)
  4. EVALUATION OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM
  The evaluation should be performed by considering if controls exist to ensure specified control objectives are met.
  Auditors often complete questionnaires to assist in system evaluation. Internal Control Questionnaires (ICQs) ask specific questions about controls relevant to each control objective. The alternative is an Internal Control Evaluation Questionnaire (ICEQs), sometimes referred to as key or control questions which focus on risks rather than objectives. They cover the same areas as control objectives and typical examples include:
  • Can employees be paid for work not done?
  • Can wages be paid to fictitious employees?
  • Can unauthorised wages be paid?
  • Can errors occur in wage calculations?
  • Can wage costs be incorrectly recorded?
  5. STAGES IN A WAGES SYSTEM
  Five stages are shown below and typical controls identified are linked to relevant control objectives.
  (i) Setting up master file data
  (ii) Recording wages due
  (iii) Calculation of wages
  (iv) Payment of wages
  (v) Accounting for wage costs and deductions

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。
