It brought much-needed reform to the regulatory framework for corporate accounting and reporting and increased the accountability of public companies and their auditors. While there are concerns about the costs of compliance and the impact on competitiveness, there is evidence to suggest that SOX has helped prevent fraudulent reporting and improve the quality of financial reporting. Nonetheless, there may be room for further improvement in the act's implementation to address any remaining issues and to ensure continued investor confidence in the US financial markets.arrow_forward19 From the options given below find the reason/s to regulate the inefficiency in accounting profession a.

- Examine Figure 6.18, which contains the REA model for Hera Industrial Supply (HIS). The model is partially completed; it includes all entities and relationships, but it does not include cardinalities or descriptions of the relationships (which would appear in diamonds on the connecting lines between entities). HIS sells replacement parts for packaging machinery to companies in several states. HIS accepts orders via telephone, fax, and mail. When an order arrives, one of the salespersons enters it as a sales order. The sales order includes the customers name and a list of the inventory items that the customer wants to purchase. This inventory list includes the quantity of each inventory item and the price at which HIS is currently selling the item. When the order is ready to ship, WIS completes an invoice and records the sale. Sometimes, inventory items that a customer has ordered are not in stock. In those cases, HIS will ship partial orders. Customers are expected to pay their invoices within 30 days. Most customers do pay on time; however, some customers make partial payments over two or more months. List each entity in the REA model, and identify it as a resource, event, or agent. Using Microsoft Visio, redraw the REA model to include the diamonds for each relationship and include an appropriate description in each diamond.

Every organization is vulnerable to fraud. The risk of fraud should be reduced as much as possible to improve the longevity of the organization. Hence, preventing, deterring, and detecting fraud are crucial to the success of organizations. Deterring and preventing fraud can be more economical than detecting, investigating, and recovering from fraud after the fact. These anti-fraud measures must start at the top and must be communicated throughout the organization. They must go beyond internal controls yet consider the cost-benefit.
