  • The purpose of this study is to provide an efficient internal control system formation incentives for company and to confirm empirically usefulness of the internal accounting control system for financial institutions by analyzing whether the internal control vulnerabilities of companies related significantly to the classification and assessment of soundness of financial institutions. Empirical analysis covered KOSPI, KOSDAQ listed companies and unlisted companies with more than 100 billion won of assets which have trading performance with "K" financial institution from 2008 until 2013. Whereas non-internal control vulnerability reporting companies by the internal control of financial reporting received average credit rating of BBB on average, reporting companies received CCC rating. And statistically significantly, non-reporting companies are classified as "normal" and reporting companies are classified as "precautionary loan" when it comes to asset quality classification rating. Therefore, reported information of internal control vulnerability reduced the credibility of the financial data, which causes low credit ratings for companies and suggests financial institutions save additional allowance for asset insolvency prevention and require high interest rates. It is a major contribution of this study that vulnerability reporting of internal control in accordance with the internal control of financial reporting can be used as information significant for the evaluation of financial institutions on corporate soundness.

  • According to COSO(2013) "Internal control is a process that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that a firm can achieve its objectives, where differing aspects of internal control can be partitioned into operating objectives, reporting objectives, and compliance objectives." Internal control over financial reporting(ICFR) is focus on reporting objectives and includes that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Thus, firms with weak ICFR have negative a effect on Firm value because those firms are great likelihood of misappropriation and inefficiency decision. In this regard, this study investigates the association of ICFR with the likelihood of firm failure. Specially, I measure the characteristic of ICFR as disclosures of material weaknesses and operating personnel of ICFR. I identify the likelihood of firm failure as going-concern opinion issued in audit report. As result, I find that a higher probability of firm failure is positively associated with the material weakness in ICFR also I find that a higher probability of firm failure is negatively associated with experience and qualified CPA of personnel in ICFR.

  • Managers are always trying to be the best internal controls in their organizations copper approximate because they know that be effective internal control over previous systems, to fulfill the mission of the organization and minimize unexpected events will be extremely difficult. On the other hand, the existence of internal controls to increase efficiency, reduce head loss, assets and achieving a reasonable assurance of the reliability of financial statements and compliance with laws and regulations will be. Internal control, not an event, but a series of operations and activities on the basis of output. Internal controls help to achieve the goal of minimizing the problems of implementing appropriate internal controls. Internal control is an integral component of corporate governance that will provide reasonable assurance of achieving the organization's objectives. preventing, detecting errors and fraud goes to work. Responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud and error in the public sector is the responsibility of managers. Managers of internal control and consistently applying appropriate accounting systems, this responsibility will play (Lin et al., 2011). Since the public sector organizations differ from each other, thus establishing internal controls cant be the same for all organizations and agencies of the public sector. Establish specific controls on each system to factors such as size, type of operation and organizational goals that the system is designed, it depends. On the other hand, rapid advances in information technology, the need to update internal control guidelines in relation to Create a new computer system so as to ensure that the activities of managers and effective control Should be updated if necessary.

  • 최근 한국과 미국 기업에 있어서 회계법상 가장 큰 이슈 중 하나는 재무보고와 관련된 내부통제제도(ICFR: Internal Control over Financial Reporting)에 관한 것이다. 한국과 미국에서 각각 내부회계관리제도와 SOX(Sarbanes Oxley Act)라고 불려지고 있는 내부통제 법령에 의해 기업들은 자체적으로 내부통제를 구축, 운영하고, 이에 대해 매년 회계법인에 의해 검토 또는 감사를 받게 되었다. IT 부문도 기업 업무 영역에서 중요성을 더해가고 있기 때문에 내부통제 제도의 한 영역을 차지하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 기업 특성과 IT 관리 특성이 기업의 IT 부문 내부통제 구축 시 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해 실제 기업 IT 내부통제 구축 데이터를 대상으로 하여 실증적인 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 기업 특성 중 자산, 종업원 수, 업종과 IT 관리 특성 중 IT 기획팀 IT 아웃소싱, 주 시스템 플랫폼을 각각 독립변수로 선정하였고, 이들 6개 독립변수가 내부통제 구축 시 도출된 통제항목(Control Activities) 개수 대비 미비점(Deficiency) 비율, 통제항목 개수, 미비점 개수 각각에 대하여 영향을 미치는 지에 대해 검증하였다.

  • Recent academic studies have investigated book-tax differences as an indicator of earnings management. Tax accounting texts claim that the differences between pre-tax financial reporting earnings and taxable income can provide information about current earnings, and the large differences between book and taxable incomes are an indicator of low-quality financial reporting earnings. This study investigates the effect of internal control system over book and tax difference using the KOSPI and KOSDAQ firms from 2006 to 2008. The empirical findings are consistent with a weakness of internal control system being associated with higher book-tax difference. That means a firm which has material weakness in the internal control system allows for more malpractice. In addition to this, If the managers tries to the efficient tax decrease strategy, book-tax difference can be large. Which in turn leads us to observe a positive relation between the weakness of internal control system and intensity of book-tax difference. Overall, we interpret this evidence as indicating that the failure of the internal control system can effect not only investors and creditors but also tax authorities. And It emphasizes that a more effective internal control system linked with sound corporate governance.

  • The propose of study is to examine the characteristics of companies with high possibility to form an internal control weakness using forecasting model. This study use the actual listed/unlisted companies' data from K_financial institution. The first conclusion is that discriminant model is more valid than logit model to predict internal control weak companies. A discriminant model for predicting the vulnerability of internal control has high classification accuracy and has low the Type II error that is incorrectly classifying vulnerable companies to normal companies. The second conclusion is that the characteristic of weak internal control companies have a low credit rating, low asset soundness assessment, high delinquency rates, lower operating cash flow, high debt ratios, and minus operating profit to the net sales ratio. As not only a case of listed companies but unlisted companies which did not occur in previous studies are extended in this study, research results including the forecasting model can be used as a predictive tool of financial institutions predicting companies with high potential internal control weakness to prevent asset losses.

  • In this study, we empirically examine cross-sectional determinants of IT personnel size of Korean listed companies from year 2004 to year 2009. Also, cross-sectional determinants of IT personnel size involved in managing internal control over financial reporting (hereafter, "ICFR") were examined. IT personnel or IT workers are recognized as critical intangible resources comprising firm's IT capability. Although IT personnel are regarded as important resources, there are not much information about factors explaining the size of firms' IT personnel. Fortunately, the Korean governmant regulates that every listed companies should dislclose the number of IT workers and ICFR-related IT personnel in their annual reports. This study utilizes the mandatorily disclosed IT personnel data to analyze cross-sectional determinants of korean listed companies' IT personnel size. Empirical results show that profitability, uncertainty, leverage, industry types are statistically significant factors associated with the size of IT personnel.

  • 1997년 외환위기와 국내외 회계부정 사건들로 인하여 회계투명성 확보가 중요하게 부각되면서 산출된 재무정보에 대한 신뢰성만을 평가, 공시하던 기존의 재무보고 모형과 달리 재무정보 산출물뿐만 아니라 이 정보의 일련의 생성과정을 평가하고 결과를 공시하는 재무보고 내부통제시스템이 만들어지고 있다. 현재의 재무보고 내부통제시스템은 기존의 재무회계 정보시스템과 별도로 구성되어 재무정보 생성과정에서 필요로 하는 평가, 승인 및 인증 시통제에 대한 낮은 확신을 제공하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 다양한 환경에 유연하게 적용할 수 있고 기존 시스템과의 연동을 쉽게 할 수 있는 J2EE 아키텍처를 활용하여 재무회계 정보시스템과 인터페이스를 통하여 주요 재무정보를 추출 EJB 컴포넌트로 구성하고 이 컴포넌트를 활용하여 수동통제보다는 자동통제를 할 수 있고 적발통제보다는 예측통제를 가능하게 하는 AC EJB 컴포넌트가 적용된 재무보고 내부통제시스템 개선 방안을 제시한다.
