(Objective 12-2)Identify risks for accounting systems that rely heavily on IT functions.
(Objective 12-2)
ASSESSING RISKS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Although IT can improve a company’s internal control, it can also affect the company’s overall control risk. Many risks in manual systems are reduced and in some cases eliminated. However, there are risks specific to IT systems that can lead to substantial losses if ignored. If IT systems fail, organizations can be paralyzed by the inability to retrieve information or by the use of unreliable information caused by processing errors. These risks increase the likelihood of material misstatements in financial statements. Specific risks to IT systems include:
1. Risks to hardware and data
2. Reduced audit trail 3. Need for IT experience and separation of IT duties Although IT provides significant processing benefits, it also creates unique risks in protecting hardware and data, as well as introducing potential for new types of errors. Specific risks include the following:
• Reliance on the functioning capabilities of hardware and software. Without proper physical protection, hardware or software may not function or may function improperly. Therefore, it is critical to physically protect hardware, software, and related data from physical damage that might result from inappropriate use, sabotage, or environmental damage (such as fire, heat, humidity, or water).
• Systematic versus random errors. When organizations replace manual procedures with technology-based procedures, the risk of random error from human involve ment decreases. However, the risk of systematic error increases because once procedures are programmed into computer software, the computer processes information consistently for all transactions until the programmed procedures are changed. Unfortunately, flaws in software programming and changes to that software affect the reliability of computer processing, often resulting in many significant misstatements. This risk is increased if the system is not programmed to recognize and flag unusual transactions or when trans action audit trails are inadequate.
• Unauthorized access. IT-based accounting systems often allow online access to electronic data in master files, software, and other records. Because online access can occur from remote access points, including by external parties with remote access through the Internet, there is potential for illegitimate access. Without proper online restrictions such as passwords and user IDs, unauthorized activity may be initiated through the computer, resulting in improper changes in software programs and master files.
• Loss of data. Much of the data in an IT system are stored in centralized electronic files. This increases the risk of loss or destruction of entire data files. This has severe ramifications, with the potential for misstated financial statements and, in certain cases, serious interruptions of the entity’s operations. Misstatements may not be detected with the increased use of IT due to the loss of a visible audit trail, as well as reduced human involvement. In addition, the computer replaces traditional types of authorizations in many IT systems.
• Visibility of audit trail. Because much of the information is entered directly into the computer, the use of IT often reduces or even eliminates source documents and records that allow the organization to trace accounting information. These docu ments and records are called the audit trail. Because of the loss of the audit trail, other controls must be put into place to replace the traditional ability to compare output information with hard-copy data.
• Reduced human involvement. In many IT systems, employees who deal with the initial processing of transactions never see the final results. Therefore, they are less able to identify processing misstatements. Even if they see the final output, it is often diffi - cult to recognize misstatements because underlying calculations are not visible and the results are often highly summarized. Also, employees tend to regard output generated through the use of technology as “correct” because a computer produced it.
• Lack of traditional authorization. Advanced IT systems can often initiate trans - actions automatically, such as calculating interest on savings accounts and ordering inventory when pre-specified order levels are reached. Therefore, proper authori zation depends on software procedures and accurate master files used to make the authorization decision. IT systems reduce the traditional separation of duties (authorization, record keeping, and custody) and create a need for additional IT experience.
• Reduced separation of duties. Computers do many duties that were traditionally segregated, such as authorization and record keeping. Combining activities from different parts of the organization into one IT function centralizes responsi - bilities that were traditionally divided. IT personnel with access to software and master files may be able to steal assets unless key duties are segregated within the IT function.
• Need for IT experience. Even when companies purchase simple off-the-shelf accounting software packages, it is important to have personnel with knowledge and experience to install, maintain, and use the system. As the use of IT systems increases, the need for qualified IT specialists increases. Many companies create an entire function of IT personnel, while other companies outsource the manage - ment of IT operations. The reliability of an IT system and the informa tion it generates often depends on the ability of the organization to employ personnel or hire consultants with appropriate technology knowledge and experience.

150) ABC tends to increase the unit cost of low-volume products and decrease the unit cost of high-volume products.
151) Traditional cost systems with a single-allocation base tend to overcost high-volume products and undercost low-volume products as compared to activity-based costing systems.
152) There will be little benefit to using an activity-based costing system when products are vastly different from each other and consume different amounts of resources.
153) Paulo Company has reengineered its production process and should now review and potentially revise its activity-based costing system.
154) Activity-based management refers to using activity-based cost information to make decisions that may increase profits while satisfying customers' needs.
155) Managers often reap benefits by using ABC data in ABM to pinpoint opportunities to cut costs.
156) ABC can be used in routine planning and control decisions as well as pricing, product mix and cost cutting decisions.
157) The benefits of adopting ABC/ABM are higher for companies in more competitive markets.
158) The goal of value-engineering is to eliminate all waste in the system by making the company's processes as effective and efficient as possible.
159) Value-engineering is accomplished by eliminating, reducing, or simplifying all non-value added activities, and examining whether value-added activities could be improved.
