5. The politics of financial auditing

Author

Power, Michael

Subjects
Accounting -- Political aspects, Auditing -- Political aspects, Political science
Abstract

Financial auditing is a political process using accusation, debate and negotiation. Such processes avoid the cost assurance function of auditing in favor of regulating the business community. The audit process can be analyzed as four scenarios involving two variables: auditor failure and auditee failure. The result of the process is an expansion of institutional and procedural powers, combined with discipline specific to individuals, giving an official image of auditing as successful.

8. Spain, July 1988: some observations on becoming professional

Author

Bougen, P.D.

Subjects
Auditing -- Political aspects, State (Political science) -- Analysis, Expertise -- Political aspects, Banking, finance and accounting industries, Business
Abstract

The Spanish Audit Law of 1988 was examined to illuminate the connection between auditing and the Spanish state. This analysis offers an opportunity to assess the link between expertise and the state in a geopolitical context removed from the advanced liberal democracy favored by other researchers. Moreover, this study facilitates the investigation of the spatiotemporal specificity and vulnerability of mechanisms governing expertise and the state. In the aftermath of the Franco era, a linkage between expertise and the state that is different from that found in a liberal environment has emerged. This connection is more attuned to modern Spanish government's contextual and historical realities. Since these links are specific and timely, they tend to be indefinite and provisory, indicating their potential for movement. Based on Deleuze and Guattari's concept of 'becoming,' the linkages are immediate, unending and sensitive to movement.

Abstract

The financial affairs of the Federal government need to be radically changed in order to improve efficiency. Right now, public administrators are not responsible for financial efficiency, but only for program execution, a situation that leads to waste in asset acquisition and a general mismanagement of resources. The solution is to make administrators financially responsible by creating a system of true balance sheets and financial accountability. The OMB should start a program of financial reporting and balance sheets that should ultimately be adopted by all federal agencies.
