Operational auditing practices in western developed countries : implications for government audit in the State of Kuwait

Nemeh, Ali G. January 1986 (has links)
This research aims at finding out to what extent the new audit techniques, (operational auditing, value for money audit ... etc.), which have been developed by western developed countries and used by their supreme audit institutions to review government activities, could be transferred to developing countries. To be more precise, this study attempts to achieve the following objectives: (1) To study the availabile literature on the nature and objectives of operational auditing, [OA]. (2) To investigate how OA is performed in practice by some western countries, (namely Canada, Sweden, the UK and the USA). (3) To determine whether there is a need for introducing OA techniques to the Kuwaiti Public Sector, [KPS], and particularly to the Kuwaiti Audit Bureau, [KAB]. (4) Finally, to draw-up conclusions and implications for the KAB. Methods used for compiling, and analysing, data has included: (1) Library research (2) Review of government documents (3) Fieldwork in UK local and health authorities and in the State of Kuwait (4) Statistical analysis The study revealed that there is no generally accepted definition for operational auditing nor any general agreement on its main components. Furthermore, it confirmed the existence of differences of purpose and scope in the practice of OA investigations in the selected, western developed countries, (Canada, Sweden, the UK and the USA). The research concludes by identifying implications for the Kuwaiti Audit Bureau and any foreseeable obstacle which could hinder the introduction, or full adoption, of OA techniques in the Kuwaiti public sector. The researcher proposes suggestions and makes recommendations to overcome these impediments.

我國政府審計權獨立性之研究 / The Research About the Independence of the Government Auditing In the R.O.C.

吳政龍, Wu, Cheng Long Unknown Date (has links)
近年我國由於各項建設及社會福利政策之不斷推動,政府預算規模亦隨之增加,而職司政府財務監督之審計機關,其任務也就愈顯得重要。惟審計權獨立行使與否和監督政府財務之成效息息相關,因此,我國政府審計權獨立性頗值深入研究。   有關審計權獨立性,本文係就以下七個方面加以探討:   壹、法律上之獨立   貳、政治上之獨立   參、財務上之獨立   肆、心理上之獨立   伍、形式上之獨立   陸、人事上之獨立   柒、職權運作上之獨立   其次,由世界其他先進國家如美、英、加、法、德、義、日等七國集團,就與政府審計權獨立有關之審計制度加以探討,以擷取先進國家審計制度之優點,俾作為我國借鏡之參考。同時,參酌「最高審計機關國際係組織」(International Organization Supreme Audit Institution)對審計權獨立性之見解,以掌握世界潮流之趨勢。   另經分析我國審計權獨立行使之現況,認為在目前五權分立之憲政架構下,審計機關仍以隸屬監察院為宜,惟應釐清與監察院之關係,俾與監察委員各自獨立行使職權,而能分工合作,共同監督政府。至於地方審計,則宜由中央直貫地方,以符合審計超然獨立之特質。   最後,提出與審計權獨立性有關之十二項問題與建議。其中有關審計機關預算經費獨立及審計人員培訓,為亟須加強之首要目標。誠盼藉此研究,有助於我國審計制度改進之參考。

Lekmannarevisorernas arbetsprocess och meningsskapande i kommunala aktiebolag / Local government auditors’ work process and sensemaking in municipal corporations

Korkis, Josefin, Skeri, Alexandra January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: Lekmannarevisorer som utför granskning av kommunala aktiebolag är förtroendevalda personer från politiska partier som utses av kommunfullmäktige. Granskningen som lekmannarevisorerna har i uppdrag sker med stöd från sakkunniga, ekonomiansvariga och övriga i verksamheten för att säkerställa att revisionen är demokratiskt förankrad och professionellt genomförd. Lekmannarevisorer behöver inte vara utbildade ekonomer, vilket skapat kritik över åren. Det har framkommit att det finns stora utvecklingsbehov hos lekmannarevisorer i kommunala aktiebolag och att det dels beror på bristfällig kunskap om hur lekmannarevisionen ska fungera i bolaget. Problemformulering & syfte: För att få förståelse för vad som sker i lekmannarevisionen valde vi att utföra vår studie med fokus på lekmannarevisorer i kommunala aktiebolag. Detta har gjorts genom att besvara följande frågeställningar: Hur ser lekmannarevisorernas arbetsprocess ut? och vilken mening skapar lekmannarevisorerna för revision i kommunala aktiebolag? Studiens syfte är att få en fördjupad förståelse för lekmannarevisorernas arbetsprocess och vad de skapar för mening för revisionen i kommunala aktiebolag. Metod: Studien utgår ifrån en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där åtta lekmannarevisorer och en ordförande för förtroenderevisionen semistrukturerat intervjuats från stora och små kommuner runt om i Sverige. Det empiriska materialet har därefter analyserats utifrån vår egen analysmodell för att besvara studiens problemformulering och syfte. Slutsats: Lekmannarevisorer utformar granskningen av kommunala aktiebolag genom att först göra en riskanalys. Under året sker uppföljning av internkontroll. Sedan skrivs en granskningsrapport för att slutligen presentera granskningsrapporten i årsredovisningen. Lekmannarevisorerna i de stora kommunerna för dialog med främst sakkunniga medan lekmannarevisorerna i de små kommunerna även har en nära kontakt med VD, styrelse och auktoriserade revisorer. Lekmannarevisorer skapar mening enligt egenskaperna identitet, sociala relationer och ledtrådar som är viktigast för revisionen i kommunala aktiebolag. Dessa tre egenskaper skapar mest mening, vilket skapar och leder till legitima handlingar. Retrospektivt, medskapande och rimlighet skapar mening men inte i lika stor utsträckning förrevisionen i kommunala aktiebolag. / Background: Local government auditors who perform audits of municipal corporations are elected persons from political parties who are appointed by the municipal council. Local government auditors review with the help of special advisers, financial managers and others in the business to ensure that the audit is democratically anchored and professionally carried out. Local government auditors do not need to have any business education, which has created criticism over the years. It has emerged that there are major development needs for local government auditors in municipal corporations and that this is partly due to insufficient knowledge of how the local government audit should function in the company.  Problem definition & purpose: In order to gain an understanding of what occurs in the local government audit, we chose to perform our study with a focus on local government auditors in municipal corporations. This has been done by answering the following questions: What does the work process of local government auditors look like? and what meaning do the local government auditors create for auditing in municipal corporations? The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of the local government auditors work process and what meaning they create for the audit in municipal corporations.  Method: The study is based on a qualitative research method where eight local government auditors and a chairman of the fiduciary audit from large and small municipalities around Sweden were interviewed in a semi-structured way. The empirical material has then been analyzed based on our own analysis model to answer the study’s problem definition and purpose.  Conclusions: Local government auditors begin the audit process by first conducting a risk analysis of the municipal corporations. Internal control is followed up during the year. An audit report is eventually written to get included in the annual report. The local government auditors in large municipalities mainly have a dialogue with experts, while the local government auditors in small municipalities have close contact with the CEO, board and authorized auditors. The local government auditors create meaning according to the characteristics of identity, social relations and clues that are important for the audit of municipal corporations. These three characteristics create the most meaning, which leads to legitimate actions. Retrospective, enactive of sensible environments and plausibility create meaning, but not to the same extent for the audit in municipal corporations.
