Auditing Assignment
I would like to learn how to read the 2015 Inspection report of KPMG LLP ( headquartered in New York, New York. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Inspection Reports at www.pcaobus.org. Review the information under "inspections" and KPMG LLP 2015 inspection in New York. It should be on page 4. These are the questions I need help with. When answering the questions can you explain where the information came from in the report? Page #'s would also help.
a) What information is contained in the public version of the PCAOB inspection reports? is there any additional information that you would like to see?
b) What categories of practices, policies, and procedures are evaluated in the PCAOB's inspection of the firm's quality control system?
c) For the firm you selected, how many practice offices had audits inspected by the PCAOB?
d) For the firm you selected, for how many audits (issuers) did the PCAOB find deficiencies?
e) Identify five deficiencies that were cited in the PCAOB's inspection report. For each deficiency, to which of the elements of the principles does it most closely relate? (If the firm had fewer than five deficiencies, evaluate all of the deficiencies identified in the report.)
f) Briefly summarize the firm's response (if any) to the PCAOB's inspection report.
