Time Budget

Brent should talk to John about his issues. John may not have been aware that payables are a low-risk area and he could change the amount tested from thirty to twenty causing a decrease in man-hours. But John is the only one with the authority to make this decision. If John is unwilling to help Brent with his issues and concerns, Brent could discuss this with the manager above John, but should not test less or “eat time”. If I was in this situation I would discuss it with John because I would know that it is not in my power to make those kinds of decisions, and making those unethical decisions would have more adverse effects for the company on the audit this year and years to come that if he finished the audit over hours.

Accountants are relied upon to be trustworthy and maintain high ethical standards. It is because of the nature of the profession that puts them in a position of trust with people who rely on their professional judgment and guidance in making decisions.

Accounting managers and staff can overcome the pressure put on them by executives, by remembering their ethical and legal duties expressed by various accounting ethical standards , regulations and laws.

When determining and defending the use of a particular ethical system within the confines of a profession, it is important to evaluate the system in terms of the professional culture as well as the expected professional conduct laid out within the vocation itself. The accounting profession has been evolving for thousands of years. Early accounting records date business transactions back as far as third century B.C. (Schroeder, Clark, & Cathey, 2009). Early record keeping was for internal purposes and as societies and economies expanded, it became important to maintain records for external purposes as well. According to Schroeder, Clark & Cathey (2009), by the ninetheeth centruy, bookkeeing expanded into accounting (p. 3). From this time, it has been the duty of the accountant to serve the public interest and the profession has been culitvated into an organizational culture with professional norms and standards constantly taking shape in an effort to complete an all-inclusive conceptual framework.

A firm rarely “makes budget.” The hope is that the business activity will be close to the budget, but it could be off considerably and lead to bad hiring, spending and production decisions.
