satisfy the shareholders interest

[18:13:40] azhar: directors are the agents of the company and as they are agents they have someconstraints for work and if they do so then they wont be liable ...

[18:13:55] ratna1238: {azhar} directors are responsible for their actions in the company, they do theoperations of the company, so if they decide wrong decision or caused the company to run downby fraud, they r responsible and can be sacked or even jailed

[18:15:06] ratna1238: {azhar} directors r responsible to the shareholders cuz they r basically their highBOSS

[18:15:09] nadii: stewards basically means the custodians

[18:15:23] marwil47: {ElenaRu} agent and stewards have the same meaning

[18:15:23] nadii: the directors are the custodians of the company

[18:15:26] Sosh2: Steward looks after and an agent represents

[18:15:34] azhar: we are talking abt when they are liable or not..

[18:15:39] Haroon Khan: steward means ...........the ones who manage and run the company

[18:16:00] ElenaRu: but an agent - also - can act from the name of the owner

[18:16:19] ElenaRu: and in this case - he also manage and run the company..

a limited assurance engagement - negative assurance

[18:37:18] shelly2305: positive negative assurance

10/28


10

[18:38:15] Shamz: a reduction in assurance engagement risk to an acceptable low level

[18:38:20] ElenaRu: cause we express positive opinion (the sentence with our opinion will be free fromthe words" nothing come into out attention" etc)))

[18:38:22] nadii: and he regards his oinion though thats still only 60 to 70 percent

[18:38:33] nadii: as the auditor is not there in the day to day work of the company

[18:38:51] marwil47: it would be called positive because the practioner would gather sufficientevident and conclude that the findings in all material respects conform to the suitable criteria

[18:38:51] ElenaRu: no

[18:38:59] ElenaRu: positive assurance - is 95%

[18:39:09] Shamz: ?

[18:39:09] nadii: are u sure?


[18:39:32] gutsychyk: marwi, i agree

[18:40:06] nadii: okay i thought it was only 60 to 70 percent because the auditor can never judge theintentions.and he is not there for the day to day running.he comes after the period end

[18:40:06] ratna1238: ok

[18:40:15] ratna1238: {nadii} not really

[18:40:26] ratna1238: it would be called positive because the practioner would gather sufficient

evident and conclude that the findings in all material respects conform to the suitable

criteria

[18:40:26] Haroon Khan: {ratna1238} plz explain

[18:40:26] nadii: ok

[18:40:34] ratna1238: as wot marvil said

[18:40:51] nadii: ok

[18:41:03] ratna1238: you see.... in reasonable assurance engament... ie external audit

[18:41:09] ratna1238: is a good example for it

[18:41:14] ElenaRu: move on

[18:41:17] Haroon Khan: hmm

[18:41:20] Shamz: its a concept relating to accumulating evidence necessary for the auditor toconclude in relation to the subject matter info taken as a whole

[18:41:23] ratna1238: they auditors gather sufficient evidence

[18:41:28] ratna1238: {Shamz} that is right

[18:41:36] ratna1238: that is why it is called positive

[18:41:38] ratna1238: now

[18:41:40] nadii: ok

[18:41:46] ratna1238: a limited assurance engagement - negative assurance


11/28


11

[18:41:53] ratna1238: why is it called negative assurance??

[18:41:56] ElenaRu: ratna1238: that is why it is called positive

[18:42:14] ElenaRu: {ratna1238} could you make a conclusion - why it's called positive assurance?

[18:42:31] ElenaRu: to summarise a discussion about it

[18:42:41] ratna1238: Shamz: its a concept relating to accumulating evidence necessary for theauditor to

conclude in relation to the subject matter info taken as a whole

[18:42:51] ratna1238: and

[18:42:54] ratna1238: marwil47: it would be called positive because the practioner would gathersufficient

evident and conclude that the findings in all material respects conform to the suitable

criteria

[18:43:04] ratna1238: {ElenaRu} r u happy with that??

[18:43:06] Sosh2: negative as it can only show an acceptable level of risk compared to reasonable?

[18:43:07] ratna1238: ;)

[18:43:20] nadii: the auditor may not have access to the records of the company or proper recordsmay not be provided or kept by the company for the period under examination.

[18:43:22] ElenaRu: I m thinking =)))

[18:43:24] Haroon Khan: where auditor would not get sufficent audit evidence

[18:43:34] ratna1238: {nadii} {Haroon Khan} yes

[18:43:43] ratna1238: so... its just a review from a distance

[18:43:46] nadii: whats the percentage?

[18:43:51] nadii: 40 45?

[18:43:54] ratna1238: not like intensive audit work

[18:43:55] Haroon Khan: to make a reasonable decision

[18:44:14] gutsychyk: is it appropriate to assign numerica values to them?

[18:44:18] Sosh2: Is negative assurance where nothing wrong can be found

[18:44:24] Shamz: sufficient appropriate evidence is obtained that includes obtaining anunderstanding of the subject matter but in which procedures are limited relative to a reasonableassurance engagement

[18:44:48] ratna1238: The objective of a review engagement is to enable a practitioner to statewhether, on the basis

of procedures which do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, anything

that has come to the practitioners attention that causes the practitioner to believe that the FSs

are not

[18:44:48] ElenaRu: {Sosh2} yes!


12/28


12

[18:45:01] ratna1238: are not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with an applicablefinancial reporting

framework.

[18:45:03] ElenaRu: it's not a question of %% of assurance - am I right?

[18:45:10] Sosh2: so whilst the F/S could be seen to be true and fair it is more by luck than goodmanagement

[18:45:19] ratna1238: look

[18:45:27] ratna1238: the reason why it is NEGATIVE is

[18:46:06] ratna1238: they did not gather enough evidence like the Audit work

[18:46:16] azhar: :)

[18:46:20] Sosh2: ok

[18:46:24] ratna1238: give me an example of this limited assurance engagement

[18:47:22] ElenaRu: {ratna1238} but pls answer about per cent - can we measure limited assurancewith % of assurance (the same as positive for e/g/)

[18:47:23] Haroon Khan: for banks,,,,,if the the banks needs

[18:47:50] azhar: {ElenaRu} no we can't

[18:47:52] Sosh2: employed by shareholders to give some confidence before the audit|

[18:51:59] ElenaRu: under the term "employ" you mean - to sign the agreement - or to choose anauditor?

[18:52:03] Haroon Khan: if a comp needs a loan,,then the bank would ask for cash flow forecast....,,,,the bank will only trust on that cash flow ,,if the auditor

[18:52:07] pjay: what actually is the review engagement?

[18:52:16] Haroon Khan: reviewed it,,,,and

[18:52:48] ratna1238: you can review any parts of FSs or any reports of the company

[18:52:54] totta: review is i think less detailed than the statutary audit

[18:53:00] Haroon Khan: and for this review ,,,,,,,tthe directors .,..........appoint auditor,,,,,,,,..coz its onlybank req

[18:53:11] mandy87: alright[18:53:16] nadii: haroon ure actually confusing me.sort of.

[18:53:18] Shamz: ok

[18:53:27] ratna1238: where audit is only statutory financial statement

[18:53:28] azhar: review = particualr account's audit

[18:53:37] Haroon Khan: {nadii} review ,,is nt full audit

[18:53:42] ratna1238: audit is regulated by law and regulation

[18:53:44] ElenaRu: {azhar} no

[18:53:44] ratna1238: review is not

[18:53:57] ratna1238: now... let me explain

[18:54:00] ratna1238: read this

[18:54:07] Haroon Khan: {nadii} it is a part of audit

[18:54:07] ratna1238: and you will get a better idea of the differences

[18:54:09] ElenaRu: {azhar} what you told - is limited procedures

[18:54:15] ratna1238: ready??

[18:54:18] marwil47: yes

[18:54:19] nadii: yes

[18:54:20] azhar: yeah

[18:54:22] pjay: yes


[18:54:25] Sosh2: yes

[18:54:27] mandy87: yes

[18:54:30] kemikings: yes

[18:54:32] Shamz: yes


15/28


15

[18:54:33] ratna1238: ok here it comes

[18:54:36] ratna1238: Difference between Review Engagement and An Audit

[18:54:36] nono: yes

[18:54:48] ratna1238: Practitioner is not carrying out an audit

[18:55:05] ratna1238: For an audit the user will always be the companys shareholders

whereas for review engagement, the user could be whoever commissions the work eg:

[18:55:09] ratna1238: a. a bank wanting to know whether to maintain existing or extend further creditfacilities

b. the director of the predator company in a takeover situation

[18:55:37] ElenaRu: {ratna1238} you are right only partially

[18:55:48] ElenaRu: guys - if you want I can explain

[18:56:08] ratna1238: The subject matter of the RE and audit will be the performance of the business

and

the subject matter of will be financial statements BUT

a. the period reviewed could be any period determined in the terms of engagement rather

than the statutory reporting period subject to audit

[18:56:12] mandy87: {ElenaRu} not sure shes done yet

[18:56:21] ratna1238: {ElenaRu} I got this from the the book,

[18:56:21] ElenaRu: ok

[18:56:26] ratna1238: I conclude them from the book

[18:56:30] ratna1238: want me to finish??

[18:56:31] ElenaRu: I know it from practice =)


[18:56:41] ratna1238: hm

[18:56:47] Haroon Khan: {ratna1238} plz carry on

[18:57:01] ratna1238: b. the FSs could be mgt accts, profit forecasts or similar reports, rather than thestatutory

FSs prepared under applicable law and accting stds which are the subject of an audit.

[18:57:05] mandy87: yeah

[18:57:13] ratna1238: The criteria for audited FSs are applicable law & accting stds, but for a reviewengagement,

the criteria will be whatever is agreed in the terms of engagement.

[18:57:22] ratna1238: an audit needs sufficient appropriate evidence where a review engagementthe procedures

undertaken will normally be:

1. Analytical procedure on the FSs

[18:57:34] ratna1238: 2. enquiries of mgt and other relevant parties


16/28


16

3. follow up procedures where analytical procedures and enquiries, indicate that material

misstatements might be included in the FSs.

[18:57:41] ratna1238: an audit report gives POSITIVE ASSURANCE whereas the report after a reviewengagement

give NEGATIVE ASSURANCE.

[18:57:44] ratna1238: there u go

[18:57:51] ratna1238: a lot of diferences ;)

[18:57:57] Sosh2: thanks a lot

17/28


17

[18:59:46] Haroon Khan: hmmm

[18:59:49] Knife: apologies

[18:59:58] ElenaRu: {gutsychyk} no

[19:00:16] ratna1238: {ElenaRu} Shareholders employ the auditor to do the Statutory FS audit

[19:00:26] gutsychyk: i have a question though

[19:00:29] gutsychyk: shall i?

[19:00:36] ratna1238: anybody that has concern about the company can employ the auditor to dothe review engagement

[19:00:41] ratna1238: {gutsychyk} yes u can

[19:00:57] azhar: {ratna1238} :)

[19:01:03] ElenaRu: {ratna1238} how is in your countries - who sign the agreement with auditors -shareholders of management of the company?

[19:01:30] Haroon Khan: {ElenaRu} ,,,,,,,,,,,,,..............share holder

[19:01:33] kemikings: i have a questn too

[19:01:41] ratna1238: {ElenaRu} I really dont know.. I am a student. :D I havent checked that

[19:01:48] kemikings: can i

[19:01:49] ratna1238: each country will have different regulation

[19:01:53] Haroon Khan: {ratna1238} ,,it seems i m nt right here

[19:01:59] gutsychyk: hat can be advantages to the directors of providing negative assurance ontheir cash flow forecast.

[19:02:01] azhar: {ElenaRu} audit committee signs

[19:02:05] gutsychyk: what

[19:02:09] ElenaRu: in Russia- it's management - per order from shareholder's meeting, causemanagement acts as an agent

[19:02:11] Haroon Khan: {ElenaRu} good questionn

[19:02:12] ElenaRu: ok, anyway

[19:02:38] ratna1238: {ElenaRu} ok, we are going to learn this on the next session

[19:02:40] Haroon Khan: {ElenaRu} if the managment signs the agreement ,,,,,

[19:02:57] ElenaRu: {gutsychyk} pls, don;t confuse two different audit engagements:

[19:03:00] Haroon Khan: the how would ,,,independence be maintained

[19:03:06] ElenaRu: 1) review (moderate assurance)

[19:03:07] ElenaRu: and

[19:03:31] Haroon Khan: review is a separate thing

[19:03:39] gutsychyk: can sumone answer my question?


18/28


18

[19:03:42] ElenaRu: 2) limited audit procedures (reasonable assurance ) - or - any audit procedureswith any assurance as well can be here =)

[19:03:43] Haroon Khan: don confuse it with audit

[19:04:07] Haroon Khan: review may be ............managment deal

[19:04:18] Haroon Khan: but audit a pure share holder matter

[19:04:24] ratna1238: {gutsychyk} management can employ auditor to do any review work

[19:04:39] Haroon Khan: review is a com requirement

[19:04:50] Haroon Khan: to make assure bank or

[19:04:51] gutsychyk: yeah ratna but !!

[19:05:02] gutsychyk: why would it be beneficial for director

[19:05:04] ElenaRu: {gutsychyk} the same advantages - as statutory audit

[19:05:19] ratna1238: {gutsychyk} the directors may need 2nd opinion

[19:05:22] ratna1238: ;)

[19:05:24] ElenaRu: because Review - is a stage of whole audit

[19:05:27] Haroon Khan: fianancial institution ,,,,,that we are enough strong ,,,to repay u loan ..

[19:05:32] azhar: is there any limitations for review engagements

[19:05:33] ratna1238: remember statutory audit is done only once a year

[19:05:46] Sosh2: this gives assurance to the onlookers that they are confident that outcome will befavourable

[19:05:50] Haroon Khan: {azhar} yeah

[19:05:51] ratna1238: {gutsychyk} managment may need the review before the audit for otherpurposes

[19:06:09] ElenaRu: {ratna1238} you confuse terms

[19:06:14] gutsychyk: thanks ppl

[19:06:16] Sosh2: {gutsychyk} this gives assurance to the onlookers that they are confident thatoutcome will be favourable

[19:06:27] pjay: what is the diff btn iterim and final audit?

[19:06:38] ratna1238: {azhar} as many times as possible if they have the money and for a purpose

[19:06:39] ElenaRu: review - is an interim stage of year audit

[19:06:42] ElenaRu: usually

[19:06:45] ratna1238: {ElenaRu} yes

[19:06:48] Sosh2: interim is early view
