Download or read book The Relationship of the CEO Vs Internal Audit with Earnings Management written by Marcin Stryczek and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present thesis examines the influence of an increased organisational power of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on the monitoring of the Internal Audit Function (IAF) and, in consequence, on the extent of earnings management. Lisic, Neal, Zhang, and Zhang (2016) find that when the CEO power is low, the financial expertise of the Audit Committee (AC) is negatively related to the incidence of internal control weaknesses. However, when the power of the CEO increases, this relation monotonically weakens until it becomes positive with sufficiently high level of the CEO power. It is believed that due to the specific role of the IAF in the corporate governance and its unique relationship with the AC, a powerful CEO might be able to exert a similarly moderating effect on the work of internal auditors. In order to test this hypothesis, three empirical models have been created to assess how the CEO power affects the relationship between the size of abnormal accruals according to the model proposed by Kothari, Leone, and Wasley (2005), and (1) the existence of a separate IAF, (2) the direct reporting lines of the function, and (3) potential full outsourcing of the function. Outcomes of the models suggest that the CEO power does not moderate the negative relation between the existence of a separate IAF and the extent of earnings management. Nevertheless, the CEO power appears to negatively moderate the connection between the reporting lines of the IAF to the AC or the Board of Directors (BoD) and the extent of earnings management. Finally, the CEO power does not appear to moderate the relationship between the decision to fully outsource the IAF to the external providers and the extent of earnings management.

Being a good board member is not about knowing everything; it is about asking the right questions and challenging appropriately. Effective Directors: The Right Questions To Ask (QTA) is a reference book for board members and executives globally to support them in their work. With chapters written by senior company board members and respected figures in corporate governance, the questions have been drawn together to offer food for thought and useful prompts that take boards beyond operational discussions. The book clearly presents key areas to be considered by the board (there are over 50 in total) and range from board composition, to data security, diversity and inclusion, and succession planning. The questions are ones that boards, in any organisation, should be asking themselves, their fellow board members, service providers, executives, and other stakeholders to ensure that the right issues are raised, transparency and effective oversight are achieved, and the board is fulfilling its role in governing the organisation. In addition to being invaluable for board members, the book is also a very useful tool for executives in understanding the kind of questions their board members are likely to ask, and the kind of questions that should be asked and discussed in the boardroom.
