Reduced opportunities to circumvent prescribed controls and procedures by employees or others! Reinforced emphasis on doing the right thing continually! Increased accountability by management for the financial reporting process and risk identification and containment

19 How Does the Suite Benefit My Entity and Me?! Greater probability the audit will detect material misstatement whether caused by error or fraud if present!

26 SAS 112 Definition of Terms! Significant Deficiency (SD) CD, or combination of CDs, that adversely affects entity s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected
