  • 请教个PA1的问题 re: independence and conflict of interest concerns
    如果CGA提供bookkeeping, or compilation, or tax preparation, or various consulting service (e.g. internal control advices, tax adivce, business combination advices, expansion advices, financial reporting advices etc), 那他/她可不可以买这个公司的股票,有没有independence or conflict of interest的问题?

    多谢指教!
    • as far as I know:bookkeeping +small amount investment OK,compilation+consulting service OK. review and audit must maintain independence in mind and appearance.
      • tax也不行吗?
        • 个人观点:从考试的角度出发,“安全第一”,只要你怀疑会有“conflict of interest"或者”threat to independence"的可能,就不接,如果已经接了,考虑withdraw。
          • 从考试角度出发,这样给答案是没有分的。这类题,就是对或错,没有自圆其说就得分的可能。
            • 这类题,大方向要对,如果你的答案是猜的,不管猜接还是不接,后面要跟一句general,类似,根据。。。,提供。。。service的同时只要没有assume management role,就没有conflict of interest。或者,
              如果猜接,那就说,根据。。。,提供。。。service的时候,不能assume management role,否则会有conflict of interest。

              case要得满分,要从 general 到 specific,然后tie to user。如果考试的时候,时间来不及,或者这知识点不知道,那至少general的东西要写上去。
              • 多谢,明白了!
    • None of listed services performed by the CGA provide Assurance on F/S assertion.
      It will be ok for her/him to buy the co.'s stocks(not in a significant amount). In the case scenario, if the CGA is providing assurance services(i.e. Review of engagement, Auditing), he/she may still be able to buy co.'s stocks with small amount, when the following conditions are applied: safeguard on site + disclosure of the conflict + subsequent evaluation of independence.
    • 再问多个问题:is there any conflict of interest/independence issue by providing assurance service (audit/review) and providing due diligence service (business acquistion/IPO) for the client? Thx!
      • 有,因为要用你的报表股价。你不行但可以让公司其他人做。
        • 多谢,明白了
