Section A暂缺
Section B – ALL SIX questions are compulsory and MUST be attempted
You are an audit manager of Pink Partners & Co (Pink) and are planning the audit of Golden Finance Co (Golden), a banking institution which provides a range of financial services including loans. Your firm has audited Golden for four years and the company’s year end is 30 September 2015.
At the end of August, Golden’s financial controller left and the new replacement is not due to start until approximately two months after the year end. The finance director, who is the sister-in-law of the audit engagement partner, has asked if a member of the audit team can be seconded to Golden for three months to act as the temporary financial controller.
You are aware that a number of the audit team members currently bank with Golden and two team members have significant loans owing to the company.
Pink’s taxation department also provides services to Golden. They have been approached by Golden to represent them in negotiations to resolve some outstanding issues with the taxation authorities, for which the fees quoted are substantial.
The finance director has informed the audit engagement partner that when the audit is complete, she would like the whole team to attend an evening watching the national football team play a match followed by a luxury meal.
Required:
Using the information above:
(i) Identify and explain FIVE ethical threats which may affect the independence of Pink Partners & Co’s audit of Golden Finance Co; and
(ii) For each threat, explain how it might be reduced to an acceptable level.
Note: The total marks will be split equally between each part.
Girls’ attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What’s more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children’s marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.
I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kins, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children’s behaviour: wrong. Turns out, acdording to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacrurers in the 1930s.
Trade publications counselled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping stone” between infant wear and older kids’ clothes. Tt was only after “toddler”became a common shoppers’ term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences – or invent them where they did not previously exist.
