...Controls for IT and Reporting University of Phoenix Internal Controls ACC 544 August 22, 2011 Controls for IT and Reporting As more business processes become streamlined and automated, many companies rely heavily on technology and the support from their Information Technology departments. Information technology has the largest responsibility within an organization. Information technology is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the hardware and software within a company. Information technology is responsible for ensuring that the hardware and software are secure and align with the company’s needs, business operations, goals and objectives. Information technology serves as a mechanism of supporting internal control systems and reporting. Most information, including financial records, that are generated, circulated, and reported within a company are electronic. Therefore, the threat of information technology being compromised is prevalent. Companies must take precautions to protect their systems and choose proper internal controls for information technology and reporting. This includes evaluating the internal controls system’s effectiveness and answering the following questions: • Is the design and operation of the internal control system up-to-date with technological advancements? • Is the internal control system and reporting in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002? • Does the current system identify existing controls that are inefficient...

...Segregation of Duties One element of IT audit is to audit the IT function. While there are many important aspects of the IT function that need to be addressed in an audit or risk assessment, the fundamental element of internal control is the segregation of certain key duties, especially as it relates to risk. The basic idea underlying segregation of duties (SOD) is that no single employee should be in a position both to perpetrate and to conceal errors or fraud in the normal course of their duties. Similar to traditional SOD in accounting functions, SOD in IT plays a major role in reducing certain risk, and does so in a similar fashion as well. Duties that should be segregated include: 1. Custody of the assets 2. Authorization 3. Recording transactions If adequate segregation of duties does not exist, the following could occur: 1. Misappropriation of assets 2. Misstated financial statements 3. Inaccurate financial documentation (i.e. errors or irregularities) 4. Improper use of funds or modification of data could go undetected 5. Unauthorized or erroneous changes or modification of data and programs may not be detected As the figure 1 shows, there are some of the key roles and functions that need to be segregated. 1. IT Duties vs. User Departments The most basic segregation is the segregation of the duties of the IT function from user departments. Generally speaking, this means the user department does not perform its own IT duties. While a department provides...

...PART Overview of Accounting Information Systems Chapter 1 The Information System: An Accountant’s Perspective 3 Introduction to Transaction Processing 31 Ethics, Fraud, and Internal Control 91 Chapter 2 I Chapter 3 1 CHAPTER The Information System: An Accountant’s Perspective nlike many other accounting subjects, such as intermediate accounting, accounting information systems (AIS) lacks a well-defined body of knowledge. Much controversy exists among college faculty as to what should and should not be covered in the AIS course. To some extent, however, the controversy is being resolved through legislation. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 established new corporate governance regulations and standards for public companies registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This wide-sweeping legislation impacts public companies, their management, and their auditors. Of particular importance to AIS students is the impact of SOX on internal control standards and related auditing procedures. Whereas SOX does not define the entire content of the AIS course, it does identify critical areas of study that need to be included for accountants. These topics and more are covered in the chapters of this text. The purpose of this chapter is to place the subject of AIS in perspective for accountants. Toward this end, the chapter is divided into three major sections, each dealing with a different aspect of information systems. The first section explores the...

...SOME OF THE IFMIS APPLICATION SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS Introduction The original version of this document has been developed by a consultant firm (CJSC Avicomp Services, Russia) as an annex to the System Design report prepared during the design of Public Financial Management System (PFMS) in Moldova for the Ministry of Finance (MoF) in December 2005. The purpose of this study was to better understand the capabilities of some of the application software (ASW) modules (commercial-off-the-shelf software packages) in order to assess the level of customization needed to meet the MoF technical requirements while implementing an integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) in Moldova. This study shows that all ASW solutions can provide the desired core Treasury (budget execution) functions with minimal customization. Additional PFM functions can be supported through custom developed software and be integrated with these software packages to provide the full PFMS functionality. In 2006, the MoF kindly agreed to share this annex with other public sector organizations and related specialists for their internal use while designing or studying the PFM systems. This document is intended to present the functional modules of several available ASW solutions which were implemented in similar projects in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region of the World Bank. A summary of PFMS functions vs modules of selected ASW is presented below: • • • FreeBalance eFinancials Oracle E-Business Suite...
