Australia's Financial Administration and Audit Act of 1985 and the Public Sector Management Act of 1994 formally established the accountability of the Western Australian State public sector for program performance management. To fulfill this management function, the Western Australian Treasury Dept. produced a handbook entitled 'Program Performance Management - A Guide for Managers.' The handbook contains a checklist of program performance planning, resource management, performance monitoring and other aspects of performance management.

Many CPA firms use engagement letters containing clauses that seek to minimize their exposure to legal liabilities for audits, reviews, compilations, and other professional services. In September 2006, the AICPA's Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) issued an exposure draft (ED) to interpret Rule 101 that updated a similar September 2005 exposure draft. In light of the comment letters and other evidence, the PEEC abandoned the exposure draft and, instead, issued Ethics Interpretation 501-8. This interpretation recognized that individual regulators have already adopted rules that restrict the use of certain clauses in audit or other attestation engagements. Mitigating risk through limited liability clauses is a complicated issue for US auditors. The AICPA's issuance of Ethics ...

The Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) has increased the focus on internal audit departments as a key partner in assisting management and the board of directors (especially audit committees) in fulfilling their corporate governance activities. Using a questionnaire, we conducted a study of chief audit executives (CAE) within the insurance industry to obtain their perspectives on the impact and effect of SOX on their departments and profession. We received feedback from 35 (35.4%) CAEs representing organizations and audit departments of various sizes. The results showed that most internal audit departments were impacted by SOX in that they allocated significant resources to assist management in the initial Section 404 compliance efforts. The CAEs expected to expend similar efforts on future compli...

In light of the increasing convergence between public and private sector accounting models, should local governments be required to adopt requirements similar to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)? Survey results from 42.2% of municipal finance officers from Ohio and Florida suggest they embrace in concept the enhanced accountability resulting from adopting principal officer certification (POC) and the independent audit committee (IAC) for larger cities. However, like their counterparts in the private sector, they have reservations regarding the benefits of implementation relative to costs. Theories of innovation diffusion and planned behavior provided a theoretical framework for multivariate analysis. The contradictions in our findings may relate to respondents' reservations regarding the pr...
