Distinguish between errors and irregularities. Which are of greatest concern to auditors?
What will be an ideal response?
Errors are unintentional mistakes; while irregularities are intentional misrepresentations to perpetrate a fraud or mislead users of financial statements. Errors are a concern if they are numerous or sizable enough to cause the financial statements to be materially misstated. All processes that involve human actions are highly susceptible to human error. Computer processes are subject to program errors, faulty systems operating procedures and system malfunction. Errors are typically easier to uncover than misrepresentations, thus auditors typically are more concerned about detecting all irregularities. Also, under SAS No. 99 and Sarbanes-Oxley, auditors are specifically charged with fraud detection.
