Public service reform and the role of the Auditor General /

The objective of this thesis is to study the involvement of the Auditor General in the proposal, implementation and review of major public service reform initiatives during a period spanning nearly forty years, from the early 1960s to 2001 . This period began with the Glassco Commission and concludes at the end of the term in office of Auditor General Denis Desautels in 2001. It has been demonstrated throughout this work that the role of the OAG has varied, from proponent to critic, from instigator to reviewer. In the past forty years the OAG's mandate has changed to meet the requirements of critical analysis of government operations and this has been aptly demonstrated in the office's relationship to the issue of public service reform. It has been argued that many of the problems facing the public service are cultural in nature. Reform initiatives have taken on a number of various forms with each addressing a different set of priorities. However, there has been a great deal of consistency in the cultural values that these initiatives articulate. Throughout this thesis attention has been paid to values. Values define a culture and cultural change is required within the Canadian federal public service. How and when this cultural change will occur is but one question to be answered. During the period under consideration in this thesis the government undertook several significant public service reform initiatives. Those examined in this thesis include: The Royal Commission on Government Organization, The Special Committee on the Review of Personnel Management and the Merit Principle, The Royal Commission on Financial Management and Accountability, Increased Ministerial Authority and Accountability, Public Service 2000, Program Review and finally La Releve. The involvement, or interest, of the Auditor General's Office on the subject of public service reform is generally articulated through the means of its annual reports to Parliament although there have been supplementary undertakings on this issue. Such material relevant to this study include: Towards Better Governance: Public Service Reform in New Zealand (1984-94) and its Relevance to Canada and Reform in the Australian Public Service. Annual reports to Parliament include: "Values, Service and Performance," (1990), "Canada's Public Service Reform and Lessons Learned from Selected Jurisdictions," (1993), "Maintaining a Competent and Efficient Public Service," (1997), and "Expenditure and Work Force Reduction in Selected Departments,"

The Financial Statement Insurance Alternative to Auditor Liability

These articles evaluate using financial statement insurance (FSI) to reduce the frequency and magnitude of audit failure. The FSI concept was pioneered by Josh Ronen, NYU Accounting Professor, who has modeled its economic aspects. My paper examines FSI’s efficacy from policy and legal perspectives. I conclude that while the model is not perfect, it promises considerable advantages over the current model. While some of the existing system’s imperfections are sustained or reappear in different guises, none of the existing imperfections appears to be aggravated and the rest likely are mitigated significantly. So I prescribe a framework to permit companies, on an experimental-basis and with investor approval, to use FSI as an optional alternative to financial statement auditing backed by auditor liability.

O consultor de gestão como auditor interno do seu próprio desempenho

O início do século tem sido pródigo em transformações rápidas e radicais no sector de consultoria, como resultado do questionamento dos modelos de diversificação estratégica levados a cabo por diversas consultoras. Mas, ainda que estas mudanças constituam de certa forma uma barreira à legitimidade do sector, a verdade é que este pressuposto tem contribuído também para o desenvolvimento do estudo do sector no meio académico, sobretudo ao longo dos últimos vinte anos onde tem existido um conjunto de literatura substancial que tem vindo a refletir a contribuição, conceptualização e compreensão da natureza do trabalho de consultoria e sobre o real valor dos consultores na forma como demonstram esse valor aos seus clientes. Daqui, ressaltam então as seguintes questões fulcrais. Consultoria de gestão é para quem? Deverá ser o consultor de gestão um auditor interno do seu próprio desempenho? Assim sendo, o que pretendo neste artigo é exatamente enfatizar um conjunto de pressupostos que permitam descrever um conjunto de requisitos necessários que devem estar implícitos nas características intrínsecas da caracterização de um profissional de serviços de consultoria, pois a premissa desta profissão deve compreender que é o profissional de consultoria que deve gerir as suas atividades e não as atividades gerir o profissional de consultoria. / The beginning of the century has been prolific in rapid and radical transformations in the consultancy sector, as a result of the questioning of models of strategic diversification undertaken by several consultants. But, even if these changes constitute a barrier to the legitimacy of the sector, the truth is that this assumption has also contributed to the development of the sector study in the academic environment, especially over the last twenty years it has existed a set of substantial literature that has come to reflect the contribution, conceptualization and understanding of the nature of consulting work and the real value of consultants in the way that demonstrate value to their customers. It emphasizes two key questions. Management consulting is for whom? It should be the management consultant an internal auditor of its own performance? So, what I want to emphasize in this article is exactly one set of assumptions that allow describing a set of requirements that must be implicit in the characterization of the intrinsic characteristics of a consulting services manager, because the premise of this profession must understand that it is the professional adviser that should manage their activities and not the activities to manage the professional adviser.

Significados teóricos y profesionales de las Competencias Básicas Matemáticas y su influencia en la formación del Contador- Auditor de la Carrera de Contabilidad y Auditoría de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato en el período 2012-2013.

El enfoque por competencias en la Universidad Técnica de Ambato constituye el eje integrador de enseñanza y aprendizajes de la comunidad universitaria que dentro de las esferas educativas universitarias no siempre han sido consideradas, valoradas y aplicadas. Para el caso específico del estudio de ésta investigación, las competencias que serán analizadas en la formación de un Contador-Auditor, serán las competencias definidas desde la perspectiva del desarrollo de las competencias matemáticas, como competencias básicas, cimiento para el desarrollo profesional del Contador-Auditor. Para vencer al problema de la falta de aplicación de las competencias matemáticas en ésta formación, la tesis desarrollará el significado de las competencias matemáticas en la carrera de Contabilidad y Auditoría de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, con la conceptualización y contextualización de las competencias que un Contador-Auditor requiere en su formación profesional universitaria, y con el concepto comprendido, se diseñará la propuesta curricular, que organizaría y emprendería el desarrollo de las competencias matemáticas, vistas en la malla curricular de la Facultad de Contabilidad y Auditoría como escenario escogido para la investigación. Las competencias matemáticas singularizadas para la formación de un contadorauditor, se obtendrían al analizar y sintetizar el debate existente entre los significados de competencias matemáticas y competencias profesionales que son sustanciales en el Contador-Auditor, y al comparar y contrastar las demandas concretas de la Facultad de Contabilidad y Auditoría con las pretendidas en el ejercicio profesional. Para enfatizar la influencia y responsabilidad que tienen las competencias matemáticas en la formación de un Contador-Auditor, va a ser necesario destacar la aplicabilidad de la competencia matemática en el quehacer financiero, económico y contable.
