The article describes the factors that contribute to audit committee effectiveness. An effective audit committee has qualified members with the authority and resources to protect stakeholder interests by ensuring reliable financial reporting, internal controls, and risk management through its diligent oversight efforts. The determinants of audit committee effectiveness includes the audit committee composition, authority, resources and diligence. The major U.S. stock exchanges require that audit committees be composed of at least three independent, financially literate directors. Team issues also are relevant when considering audit committee composition. The audit committee derives its authority from the full board of directors, federal law …

Previous chapters have described the vast array of resources that Cal Poly’s officials oversee. As students, educators and others in the surrounding community continue to use Cal Poly Land and surrounding areas, the ecological system and its capacity to recover become strained. In order to ensure that in 100 years students (and other Cal Poly stakeholders) will be able to have the same opportunities to benefit from the land resources, Cal Poly’s stakeholders need to develop the mind-set and tools to help us maintain and enhance these resources. This section describes several approaches available to help us.


Using Benford's Law To Detect Fraud In The Insurance Industry, Meredith Maher, Michael D. Akers Jan 2002

Using Benford's Law To Detect Fraud In The Insurance Industry, Meredith Maher, Michael D. Akers

Accounting Faculty Research and Publications

Benford's Law is the mathematical phenomena that states that the first digits or left most digits in a list of numbers will occur with an expected logarithmic frequency. While this method has been used in industries such as oil and gas and manufacturing to identify fraudulent activity, it has not been applied to the health insurance industry. Since health insurance companies process a large number of claims each year and these claims are susceptible to fraud, the use of this method in this industry is appropriate. This paper examines the application of Benford's Law to four health insurance companies located …

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

In response to a request from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) agreed to reconsider the guidance in SAS No. 50 with respect to the provision permitting an accountant to issue a written report to intermediaries on the application of accounting principles not involving facts or circumstances of a specific entity ("hypothetical transactions"). The SEC has expressed concerns regarding the appropriate use of these reports and whether such reports are in the best interest of the public. Due to the nature of a hypothetical transaction, there is no way for a reporting accountant to know, …

Statements on Standards for Tax Services (SSTSs) Nos. 1 through 8 and Interpretation 1-1 to Statement No. 1, “Realistic Possibility Standard,” reflect the AICPA’s standards of tax practice and delineate members’ responsibilities to taxpayers, the public, the government, and the profession. The Statements are intended to be part of an ongoing process that may require changes to and interpretations of current SSTSs in recognition of the accelerating rate of change in tax laws and the continued importance of tax practice to members. A significant area of many members’ tax practices involves assisting taxpayers in tax planning. An area of recurring …
