...Abstract Businesses today face heightened expectations around their role in society and the world, with turning a profit only one of many criteria by which performance is measured. Rising in importance is the impact a company has on its stakeholders, society, and even the planet. Integrated reporting, which encompasses elements of traditional financial reporting, sustainability reporting, and governance reporting within a single presentation, represents a growing trend that reflects these new expectations. The core concept underlying the term “integrated reporting” is providing one report that fully integrates a company’s financial and non-financial (including environmental, social, governance and intangibles) information. Integrated reporting offers the opportunity to centre business reporting on strategy and value creation, to demonstrate how the business uses capital and the extent to which they should continue to be invested in business. Integrated reporting is a journey. Organizations are unlikely to achieve perfection in the first year. In the absence of a generally accepted framework, companies that wish to move toward integrated reporting may encounter several dilemmas around relevance, scope, assurance and other issues. However, as reporting processes for the production of the supporting information are designed and improved and as the executive team begins to benefit from a more informed implementation of the governing structures’ decision, reporting will improve...

...The Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on Accounting and Finance Departments Danika Grace Brown Lakeland College Kellett School of Business – BlendEd BA 772 Advanced Industrial Accounting II Instructor Mary Diederich March 10, 2015 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Overview of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 3 About SOX 4 Reporting and Compliance 5 Risk Assessment and Control 6 Interview at Company X 7 Standards for Corporations and Officers 8 Auditing and Financial Reporting 9 Future Impact of SOX 10 Conclusion 11 References 13 Abstract Sarbanes-Oxley is the response from Congress in regards to the financial industry collapse that happened over a decade ago. Due to unethical reporting from corporations, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) is a United States federal law that set new or enhanced standards for all U.S. public company boards, management and public accounting firms. As a result of SOX, top management must individually certify the accuracy of financial information. In addition, penalties for fraudulent financial activity are much more severe. Furthermore, SOX increased the oversight role of boards of directors and the independence of the outside auditors who review the accuracy of corporate financial statements. This paper will look to provide an oversight of the law and how it pertains to the standards in Accounting and Finance departments nowadays. In addition, this paper will also touch on the ongoing costs and benefits of the now standard...

...The Violet Bay School INTRODUCTION According to the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the objective of financial reporting is to assist a government entity in fulfilling its obligation to be publicly accountable and to enable users to assess accountability (GASB 2007; Government Accountability Office [GAO] 2007). Budgeting, a process whereby government administrators forecast expected revenues and identify planned expenditures, is an integral part of accountability, and the extent to which a governmental entity adheres to its budget is a major consideration when assessing accountability. In August 2005, Violet Bay1 taxpayers were informed that their school system had run a $7 million deficit after several previous assurances that the system was fiscally sound and would finish the year with a surplus. By November 2005, an external audit determined that the actual deficit was $12.1 million. Three months later, a special grand jury report was released describing the causes of the financial crisis and addressing the means to correct the situation. What went wrong? Place yourself in the role of an auditor or a consultant and identify the problems. As you do so, you will better appreciate the importance of internal control and will gain experience in identifying and assessing client risks. While this case involves a governmental entity—a school district—no prior coursework in governmental accounting is required to complete case requirements. PART I – THE BUDGET PROCESS The...
