Evaluate the potential for fraud in a given audit engagement.

Be obliged to utilise tests that provide reasonable assurance of detection of fraud

Evaluate the strength of the overall control environment

Facilitate the identification of areas of high audit risk by reviewing the procedure analytically

Communicate their role and responsibilities to all those who rely on their work

In addition to the present statutory requirement, companies should be required to institute sufficient internal management controls.

Management should ensure that the internal audit staffs are able to prevent and detect financial statement fraud.

Companies whose shares are publicly traded should be required to have audit committees to monitor the internal control system

More scandals like Satyam can be avoided if-

1.If auditing firm is honest.2.SEBI plays an active role.3. Periodic review of legal compliance reports by independent directors.
