The Securities аnd Exchаnge Cоmmissiоn (SEC) hаs lоng been concerned that earnings management practices result in adverse consequences for investors, including masking the true nature of economic transactions, and has often called for increased regulatory oversight of the financial reporting process. To carry out the SEC’s oversight role, the Division of Corporation Finance periodically reviews companies’ filings and issues comment letters to monitor and enhance compliance with regulatory disclosure and accounting requirements. Accounting issues (e.g., accruals) are often the focus of the SEC’s reviews. [Note: You do not need additional information about SEC comment letters than what is described above. Remember the role of the SEC.) Based on the above discussion answer the following: Explain how and why managers’ earnings management behavior might change after the company receives an SEC comment letter, indicating issues with the company’s financial reporting. Explain how and why the external auditor might respond to a client’s receipt of an SEC comment letter. Explain how and why equity investors might respond to the news that the company has received an SEC comment letter.
Alisоn, а certified public аccоuntаnt (CPA) whо is acting as the in-charge/senior on the audit engagement, works on the XYZ Company audit, an existing firm client. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) notifies the firm of the inspection visit timing, scheduled in a little over two weeks, and the selection of XYZ Company’s work papers. Knowing that the PCAOB would be arriving soon to examine the XYZ Company audit work papers, the manager and the partner review the work papers and sends Alison a request for the paper version of the work papers. Alison and the manager determine that the file is incomplete with respect to two key documents: a supporting worksheet for a key item and a final version of the signed engagement letter. Alison reviews the work papers and cannot find the supporting worksheet. However, she does find an earlier version on her computer hard drive. At the manager’s direction, she prints out the worksheet, adds the tick marks, initials, and backdates the work paper. This work paper is added to the file without any explanation for the late addition or the actual date it is added to the file. Firm policy requires a signed engagement letter for all audits. The manager notes that the audit work papers do not contain an engagement letter that includes an original client signature. The manager contacts the client and requests that Alison follow up to obtain the signed engagement letter from the CFO of XYZ and inserts the hard copy documents without documenting the true date of insertion or the reason why it is added. Alison takes the completed, revised work papers and delivers them to the PCAOB inspectors when they arrive. (Adapted from Cheng and Flasher 2018). Using the Framework for Understanding Ethical Decision Making in Business (in Ferrell and Fraedrich, Chapter 5 page 21 of the course readings), discuss factors other than ethical issue intensity that you believe influenced Alison’s decision to support the manager on this issue
