Previous issue date: 2008-05-01 / One of the main goals of the companies is to have a consistent internal controls system, with not only the objective of attending the legal rules, specially COSO and Corporate Finance, but also get prepared to be in compliance to the daily routines, turning them into a model when compared to the principal competitors and mainly the present and future investors. To attend and obtain the systems and internal controls mechanisms proposed by Sarbanes-Oxley certifications is actually a big challenge for most of the multinational companies registered in SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission). Lean structures, rare resources with challenging deadlines assume the huge responsibility to attend the requirement that without a vigorous implementation project, in many cases fail or reach the objectives with high costs and end up destroying value instead of generating it. So, due to this scenario, this work has the objective of contributing to the analysis of this methodology, not only to attend the law but to reduce cost and generate value through the strengthen of the internal controls systems, turning them into animating value generation process mechanisms. So, the idea is to identify the main gaps in the theory through the literature revision and a case study in order to put a question to the main deficiencies, strong points or contributions through the evaluation of the noticed practices and the proposition of a model. Finally, we can say that as a result of the research and the analyses made in this case, the vast majority of executives and other employees recognize the benefit that Sarbanes-Oxley Act has brought to the company searched. Also recognize that, although there is still necessity for systemic adequacy and infrastructure, it helps reducing and controlling the risks and reinforce the system of internal controls in all ts areas of expertise. Approach and understand that there is need for a change in the other employees' culture to be inserted in the day-to-day routine as internal controls, attention to Sarbanes-Oxley and Corporate Governance, making the control cost smaller when compared to the benefits generated. / Dentre os principais objetivos das empresas, est?? o de possuir um sistema estruturado de Controles Internos, n??o somente visando o atendimento ??s regras e normas legais, notadamente as de COSO e Governan??a Corporativa, mas tamb??m preparar a empresa para estar em "compliance" com suas atividades rotineiras, bem como representar um referencial delas em rela????o aos seus principais concorrentes e principalmente aos investidores presentes e futuros. Atender e obter a certifica????o dos sistemas e mecanismos de Controles Internos propostos pela Lei Sarbanes-Oxley, ?? atualmente um grande desafio para a maioria das empresas multinacionais que tenha registro na SEC (comiss??o de Valores Mobili??rios dos Estados Unidos da Am??rica). Estruturas enxutas com recursos escassos, com prazos desafiadores assumem a imensa responsabilidade de atender aos requisitos, sendo que sem um projeto robusto de implanta????o, em muitos casos malogram, ou realizam seus objetivos com altos custos e acabam destruindo valor ao inv??s de gerar. Diante desse quadro, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para a an??lise dessa metodologia, n??o somente para atendimento ?? Lei, mas para reduzir custos e gerar valor atrav??s do fortalecimento dos sistemas de Controles Internos, transformando-os em mecanismos impulsionadores do processo de gera????o de valor. Para tanto, a id??ia ?? buscar identificar as principais lacunas da teoria atrav??s da revis??o da literatura e da apresenta????o de um estudo de caso, para o levantamento das principais defici??ncias, pontos fortes ou contribui????es atrav??s da avalia????o das pr??ticas percebidas e a proposi????o do modelo. Finalmente, poder-se-ia afirmar que como resultado da pesquisa e das an??lises efetuadas que, no caso sob estudo, a grande maioria dos executivos e demais colaboradores reconhecem o benef??cio que a Lei Sarbanes-Oxley trouxe para a empresa pesquisada. Reconhecem ainda que, apesar de ainda haver necessidade de adequa????o sist??mica e de infra-estrutura, ajuda na redu????o e controle dos riscos e refor??a sobremaneira o sistema de Controles Internos em todas as suas ??reas de atua????o. Abordam e entendem que h?? necessidade de alguma mudan??a na cultura dos demais colaboradores, para que seja inserida no seu dia-a-dia a cultura de Controles Internos, atendimento ?? Lei Sarbanes-Oxley e Governan??a Corporativa, fazendo com que o custo de controle seja cada vez mais reduzido, em rela????o aos benef??cios por eles gerados.

Previous issue date: 2009-09-01 / This dissertation subject is related to the study of teacher's perception in accounting towards the fulfillment of the audit services attributes after the limitations foreseen by the legal instruments Instruction CVM n? 308/99 and Sarbanes-Oxley about the consulting services. The study main goal is to check the Audit teacher's perception of 14 Academic Masters Programs if the limitations foreseen by the legal instruments Instruction CVM n? 308/99 and Sarbanes-Oxley about the consulting services provided improvement to the fulfillment of the audit services attributes. At first we make a bibliographic review, that is, collecting the main subject concepts and historic in an epigraph. The operational part of the study relates the concepts and main consulting services provided by Big Four in Brazil. After that, talks about the two legal instruments that limited the audit companies acting about providing, at the same time, audit and consulting services to the same client. In Brazil, this limitation was regulated in 1999, when the Instruction CVM n? 308/99 was edited and, in 2002, an akin conduct was adopted in the USA in the promulgation of the Law Sarbanes-Oxley. The text emphasizes the importance of these two legal instruments that contributed to separate the external audit services from the consulting ones, besides becoming a possible way to separate and minimize the margin of interest conflicts between the parts and provide improvement to the fulfillment of the audit services attributes. For the study conclusion, a questionnaire has been answered by the Audit teachers of 14 Academic Masters Programs, in private and public universities, in order to measure their perception about the subject. And we testified that 92% of those teachers who answered the questionnaire agree with the fact that providing the audit and consulting services at the same time to the same client may contribute to the impairment of the attributes in audit, like the independency, the goals and the technical and professional competency. / O tema desta disserta????o est?? relacionado ao estudo da percep????o dos professores em contabilidade quanto ao cumprimento dos atributos dos servi??os de auditoria ap??s as limita????es previstas pelos instrumentos legais Instru????o CVM n?? 308/99 e Sarbanes-Oxley sobre os servi??os de consultoria. O objetivo do estudo ?? verificar a percep????o dos professores da disciplina e/ou ??rea de Auditoria de 14 Programas de Mestrado Acad??mico se as limita????es previstas pelos instrumentos legais Instru????o CVM n?? 308/99 e Sarbanes-Oxley sobre os servi??os de consultoria trouxeram melhoria para o cumprimento dos atributos dos servi??os de auditoria. Inicialmente faz-se uma revis??o bibliogr??fica, ou seja, coleta dos principais conceitos e hist??ricos do assunto em ep??grafe. A parte operacional do estudo relata sobre os conceitos e principais servi??os de consultoria prestados pelas Big Four no Brasil. Trata, em seguida, dos dois instrumentos legais que limitaram o meio de atua????o das empresas de auditoria em prestar concomitantemente, os servi??os de auditoria e consultoria ao mesmo cliente. No Brasil esta limita????o foi regulamentada em 1999, quando editou a Instru????o CVM n?? 308/99 e, em 2002, semelhante medida foi adotada nos EUA quando da promulga????o da Lei Sarbanes-Oxley. O texto enfatiza a import??ncia desses dois instrumentos legais, que contribu??ram para separar os servi??os de auditoria externa dos servi??os de consultoria, al??m de se tornarem um meio poss??vel de distanciamento e minimiza????o das margens de conflitos de interesse entre as partes, e trazerem melhoria para o cumprimento dos atributos dos servi??os de auditoria. Para a conclus??o do estudo, aplicou-se um question??rio aos professores da disciplina e/ou ??rea de Auditoria de 14 Programas de Mestrado Acad??mico em institui????es de ensino superior, p??blicas e privadas, para medir sua percep????o sobre o assunto, e constatou-se que 92% dos respondentes concordam com o fato de que a presta????o simult??nea dos servi??os de auditoria e consultoria a um mesmo cliente pode dar margens para o enfraquecimento dos atributos em auditoria, como por exemplo, a independ??ncia, os objetivos e a compet??ncia t??cnico-profissional.

Intern kontroll : en studie om arbetet med whistleblowing och vad det kan leda till / Internal control : the work with whistleblowing and possible outcomesHsiung, David, Thiman, Eric January 2014 (has links)
Whistleblowing är någonting som i dagsläget blir allt mer känt. Edward Snowden och Wikileaks är det första som kommer till tanken när whistleblowing nämns. I den ekonomiska världen förekommer även Enron som en whistleblowing skandal, som många känner till då det är den största företagsskandal som inträffat under modern tid. Whistleblowing definieras som ett verktyg som ska motverka oegentligheter och börjar införskaffas av fler företag. Medan föregående studier undersöker vad som rapporteras, men också vilka individer som blåser i pipan, förekommer det inte någon studie om hur arbetet med whistleblowing faktiskt ser ut i företagen. Därför finns ett intresse att undersöka hur de anställda, de som faktiskt blåser i pipan, uppfattar arbetet med whistleblowing samt vad det leder till. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur arbetet med whistleblowing uppfattas ur en anställds perspektiv, jämföra detta med andra anställda men även chefers uppfattning. Med denna kunskap syftar vi sedan till att fastställa vad det leder till och utifrån teoretiska begrepp kunna ge en insikt i hur arbetet med whistleblowing faktiskt ser ut i ett företag. Undersökningen sker via en abduktiv ansats där teorier om moral, institutionell samt förväntanskap används som hjälp vid tolkning av empirin. En hermeneutisk forskningsfilosofi används och en kvalitativ metod där intervjuer utförts på ett företag. Fem intervjuer som omfattar anställda på olika avdelningar i företaget, vilket ska ge olika perspektiv och uppfattningar så att bästa möjliga svar på forskningsfrågan kan ges samt att syftet kan fastställas. Uppsatsen fastställer att samtliga respondenter uppfattar arbetet med whistleblowing ur ett moraliskt perspektiv. Genom expectancy theory förekommer det dock brister i kunskap om hur whistleblowing faktiskt går till bland de anställda och denna brist bidrar till att många inte vill, eller kommer att använda sig av systemet. Detta gör att whistleblowing blir väldigt institutionellt i organisationen. Det betyder att det endast finns där för att det måste, utan att egentligen användas. Slutligen visar det sig att det finns effekter i form av fördelar och nackdelar, men att det i slutändan lönar sig att arbeta med whistleblowing inom organisationen. / Whistleblowing is currently becoming a more known subject. Edward Snowden and Wikileaks are famous in whistleblowing situations. In the economical world, another famous scandal concerning whistleblowing is Enron. It is the biggest corporate scandal in modern time. The definition of whistleblowing is to prevent misconduct/illegal activities and more companies are starting to implement whistleblowing-systems. While previous studies have investigated matters of whistleblowing and actual whistleblowers, there is no research about how whistleblowing actually exists and is perceived within organizations. Therefore we find an interest in investigating how employees perceive the work of whistleblowing, and what it could lead to. The purpose of this study is to examine how employees perceive the work of whistleblowing and then compare it to other employees and also managers. With help from different theories, a clearer insight can be provided in how the work with whistleblowing actually is perceived within an organization. The research approach is of abductive form, where theories about moral, institutional and expectancy are used as help to interpret the empirical data. A hermeneutic research philosophy is used and a qualitative method with interviews. Five different individuals are interviewed and everyone works in different departments of the company, which should give a wider span of perspectives and perceptions, thus a richer data. From this, a more accurate answer can be provided for the research question and also fulfill the purpose of this study. The conclusions are that the respondents perceive the work with whistleblowing from a moral standpoint. However, flaws are found through expectancy theory in the absence of knowledge about how whistleblowing actually works within the organization. This contributes to the fact that employees does not want and will not use the whistleblowing-system. From these factors whistleblowing becomes more of an institutional tool and is rarely used, however it exists because it has to. Lastly there are effects such as advantages and disadvantages. In the end it proves to be useful to work with whistleblowing within an organization.

All firms and companies are in jeopardy of frauds but unfortunately not everybody is familiar with the ways of finding them out or preventing them. According to the recent surveys the number of frauds goes steadily up and a new trend in the way of carrying them out has come into existence. There used to be a simple property misappropriation in the past but recently more sophisticated techniques have been used.For that reason it is necessary to familiarize with the most common tricks and fields of fraudulent means.

Uttalandet om intern kontroll enligt SOX sektion 404 : Hur uppfattas det i svenska företag? / Management´s statement of internal control according to SOXsection 404 : What is the opinion in Swedish companies?Lilja, Hanna, Tossavainen, Jennie January 2007 (has links)
Den interna kontrollen utgör ett viktigt inslag för att säkerställa attverksamheter bedrivs effektivt. I Sverige följer noterade aktiebolag somhuvudregel Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning (Koden), vilken innehåller kravpå den interna kontrollen, men det kan också bli aktuellt för svenska företagatt även följa andra lagar eller regler för intern kontroll. Den amerikanskalagen Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) innehåller omfattande krav på den internakontrollen och måste följas av svenska företag som är noterade påamerikansk börs, eller som av annan anledning omfattas av den amerikanskalagen. Sektion 404 är den i särklass mest uppmärksammade sektionen närdet gäller reglering av intern kontroll i SOX och sektionen ställer, förutomkravet att företaget ska göra en bedömning av den interna kontrollen, ävenkrav på att ledningen ska uttala sig om denna i den amerikanskaårsredovisningen. För de flesta svenska företag som berörs av SOXaktualiserades uttalandet för första gången för räkenskapsåret 2006 vilkasamerikanska årsredovisningar publiceras under första halvåret 2007. Fråganär hur berörda svenska företag upplever kravet att enligt SOX sektion 404behöva uttala sig om den interna kontrollen? Hur har företag behövt anpassaverksamheten för att möjliggöra uttalandet och vilken påverkan kanuttalandet komma att ha på företagens aktieägare?Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva hur svenska företag ställer sig tilluttalandet om intern kontroll enligt SOX sektion 404. Vidare har syftet varitatt analysera hur berörda företag har påverkats av sektion 404 och uttalandetom den interna kontrollen samt att redogöra för vilken påverkan uttalandetkan ha på företagens aktieägare. Detta har undersökts genom att fyra svenskaföretag som måste följa SOX regler har intervjuats. Undersökningengenomfördes med hjälp av kvalitativa djupintervjuer.Anpassningen till SOX sektion 404 i svenska företag har krävt en hel delförändringar både vad gäller företags organisationer och hur arbetet i dessabedrivs. Det är dock inte uttalandet om den interna kontrollen som upplevssom besvärligt i svenska företag utan det är själva bedömningen av deninterna kontrollen som företag upplever kräva mycket arbete. Svenskaföretag är inte heller särskilt bekymrade över hur deras aktieägare kommeratt reagera på uttalandet om den interna kontrollen. De menar att uttalandetinte kommer att visa någon ny information, som inte redan tidigare funnits iårsredovisningen, och att uttalandet handlar mer om att skapa en internmedvetenhet kring den interna kontrollen i företag än att öka transparensen iden finansiella rapporteringen. / Uppsatsnivå: D
