商品描述
Wirecard was the largest economic scandal in the history of Germany. Following the collapse of Wirecard, numerous lawsuits, both criminal and civil by equity and debt investors, were filed not only against Wirecard but also against the auditor Ernst & Young. This book demonstrates that a proper audit in accordance with the auditing standards would have uncovered the fraud much earlier, and details what went wrong. The book first deals with the fundamentals of auditing and examines the Wirecard business models from a legal and economic perspective. Then, the book deals with the fiduciary structure, which there has been often debated. When the fraud was uncovered, it became clear that 1.9 billion Euros that were supposed to be in escrow accounts were not. The book discusses the balance sheet mapping in detail, including the related audit requirements and examines in which balance sheet item the amounts (allegedly) in escrow accounts should have been reported, before examining and weighing the corresponding income statement items. In each chapter, not only are the accounting requirements presented, but the requirements for audit measures based on the respective Standards on Auditing are highlighted and explained in detail. The book places the requirements for reporting in the context of the Wirecard case, and will be of interest to accountants, auditors, market regulators, and credit risk analysts alongside students of accounting/auditing.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
Wirecard 是德國歷史上最大的經濟醜聞。在 Wirecard 崩潰之後,許多針對 Wirecard 及其審計師 Ernst & Young 的刑事和民事訴訟相繼提出,這些訴訟來自股權和債務投資者。本書展示了根據審計標準進行適當審計將能更早揭露詐騙行為,並詳細說明了問題出在哪裡。本書首先探討審計的基本原則,並從法律和經濟的角度檢視 Wirecard 的商業模式。接著,本書討論了常被辯論的受託結構。當詐騙行為被揭露時,原本應該在保管帳戶中的 19 億歐元並不存在。本書詳細討論了資產負債表的映射,包括相關的審計要求,並檢視這些金額(據稱)應該在資產負債表的哪一項目中報告,然後再檢視和權衡相應的損益表項目。在每一章中,不僅呈現了會計要求,還強調並詳細解釋了基於各自審計標準的審計措施要求。本書將報告要求置於 Wirecard 案件的背景中,對會計師、審計師、市場監管者、信用風險分析師以及會計/審計的學生都將具有興趣。
