建设工程项目委托审计道德风险成因及防范

建设工程项目委托审计已成为工程项目审计的主要模式,实现了审计的专业化、社会化和精细化,但存在着严重的道德风险.基于委托代理理论,分析了建设工程项目委托审计道德风险的三大特征：内生性、牵引性以及损人利己,剖析了其成因主要是信息不对称;付费不合理;员工素质差、内控机制不全;法律不健全、监督不到位等.提出减少建设工程项目委托审计中道德风险的建议：采用激励约束契约,建立了带激励因子的付费模型;严格控制从业门槛,强化执业人员素质;完善法律法规、营造法律环境;建立政府、行业、代理人三级监督机制,明晰监督内容和方法.     

经济责任审计与绩效审计比较研究

经济责任审计和绩效审计是既有联系又有区别的概念,绩效审计侧重对某一项目或系统的经济性、效率性、效果性进行检查和评价,而经济责任审计重在检查和评价领导干部任期内经济决策的合规性和效益性,重在评价领导干部的经济责任。两种审计各有侧重,互为补充,双管齐下,可更好推动政府审计自身的发展。

Auditing biochemical research data: A case study

Accountability in action?: the case of a database purchasing decision 1

The increasing prevalence of audit in university settings has raised concerns about the potentially adverse effects of invasive measures of performance upon the conduct of research and generation of knowledge. What sustains the current commitment to audit? It is argued that in order to address this question we need to understand how and to what extent notions of accountability are played out in practice. This is illustrated through the analysis of materials from an ethnographic study of ‘good management practice’ in the deployment of technologies in university settings. The paper examines the ways in which ideas of accountability — involving considerations such as ‘value for money’— inform the practical processes of deciding about the purchase of a new database technology.

Contractual audit and mental health rehabilitation: a study of formulating effectiveness in a Finnish supported housing unit

Saario S, Raitakari S. Contractual audit and mental health rehabilitation: a study of formulating effectiveness in a Finnish supported housing unit Int J Soc Welfare 2010: 19: 321–329 © 2010 The Author(s), Journal compilation © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and International Journal of Social Welfare. Mental health NGOs in Western Europe are increasingly managed by contractual audit procedures. This article concerns how contractual audit and its emphasis on effectiveness of care impact on the practices of long‐term mental health rehabilitation. To demonstrate this, a case study of a Finnish NGO that provides supported housing is presented. The study looks at how service purchasing practices, as stated in the contract between the municipality and the NGO, are reflected in the meetings among practitioners. Documentary and meeting data were utilised together with Mitchell Dean's notion of technologies of agency. It was found that practitioners actively sought to show the effectiveness of their everyday work in terms of contractual audit by demonstrating both the economic and progressive aspects of care. Thus, professional competency in mental health rehabilitation appears to entail both the skills of care interventions and the ability to perform these interventions as efficient and financially accountable activities.     

Perceptions concerning research integrity and the practice of data audit in the biotechnology industry

A survey was conducted in order to evaluate the responses of biotechnology executives concerning their perceptions of the frequency of questionable R & D studies performed in their companies and to assess the extent to which their companies voluntarily conducted data audits. Data audit was found to be commonly practiced on a voluntary basis by biotechnology companies, in contrast to its almost lack of practice by universities. However, public companies were more likely to practice data auditing than privately held companies. Moreover, the likelihood that managers suspected or detected questionable studies in their companies was significantly increased if the company practiced data auditing.
