Die wirkiche Frage ist wieso dem Buchprüfer Ernest & Young so was nicht aufgefallen ist, er muss die Geldflüsse ja nachverfolgen.
Ich glaube nicht, dass sie das tun. Sie testieren Angaben, die zunächst nicht bezweifelt werden.
Als KPMG zur Sonderprüfung herangezogen wurde, haben diese ja nach der Recherche festgestellt, dass die ganzen Zahlungsströme nicht nachweisbar / belegbar sind.
Das Vorgehen der "Prüfer" ist auch schön im der Doku "China Hustle" beschrieben.
Die Firmen testieren den Vorgang und die Befolgung der Accountingregeln,nicht den Inhalt.
Ausserdem werden sie von den Firmen bezahlt und wer mag schon zu kleinlich nachschauen, wenn eventuell der Verlust des Auftrags droht.
Oder hier als Auzug aus einem Artikel, der der Frage nachgeht:
"Even with all the publicity surrounding the issue of financial fraud in the last decade, most auditors, investors, and other professionals still do not “get it” when it comes to detecting fraud. Traditional financial statement audits were never designed to detect fraud.
The audit is simply a process by which auditors check the company’s math and application of accounting rules. Auditors examine a very small percentage of transactions. Fraud is rarely detected by financial statement audits because they are not aimed at doing so. However, sometimes fraud is detected by auditors, and they can increase their chances of finding fraud if they are so inclined. There are opportunities during each financial statement audit to find fraud, if only the auditors are diligent. One of the keys to becoming better at detecting fraud is by understanding why auditors so often do not find fraud.
The issue of finding fraud in audits is important not only for auditors.. Investors and other professionals who use financial statements need to understand the fraud risks to fully appreciate just how unreliable financial statements can be when it comes to the issue of fraud.
The bottom line is that those who are confident that audits will find fraud are fooling themselves. Nothing could be further from the truth. The occasional instance of auditors detecting fraud during a financial statement audit does not mean that audits are effective at detecting fraud.
