关联方交易舞弊风险内部控制与审计——基于紫鑫药业案例的研究

关联方及其交易作为潜在的舞弊风险领域,一直是监管者关注和风险提示的重点。关联方交易舞弊风险因素具有多样性,有效的内部控制和审计能够揭示和防范关联方交易舞弊风险。本文以紫鑫药业2010年涉嫌虚假财务报告案为例,采用案例研究方法,研究揭示其问题和事实真相。研究发现,上市公司关联方交易舞弊的动机在于提升股价,实现解禁套现最大化之目的,而内部控制缺陷和审计失职为关联方交易舞弊提供了机会。对此,企业和会计师事务所应完善内部控制尤其是高管诚信守法建设,提升风险管理能力。监管者应进一步加大会计准则、内控规范和审计准则等执行的监管力度,维护公众利益。
