從歷年的考試情況來看，職業道德一直是AAA科目中主要的組成部分，也是每次考試基本必考的模塊。為了提高考生對這部分考點的理解，下面小編就為大家重點解析下ACCA考試職業道德模塊提分秘訣。

　　職業道德是每次AAA考試的一個重點領域，而且也是比較容易提高得分的部分，但是考生不能再局限于死記硬背，更多的是展現對知識的理解和運用。

　　我也想通過這篇文章，給大家呈現一些考官提到過的有代表性的答題技巧，幫大家提高職業道德模塊的答題分數，讓咱們能順利通過考試。

　　這部分涉及到的一些準則包括：

　　ACCA’s Code of Ethics and Conduct (2016)

　　IESBA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Revised May 2015)

　　IESBA–Changes to the Code Addressing Certain Non-Assurance Services Provisions for Audit and Assurance Clients Ethical Considerations Relating to Audit Fee Setting in the Context of Downward Fee Pressure (January 2016)

　　首先大家要對上述準則詳細掌握，包括基本的道德準則：Integrity, Objectivity, Professional Competence and Due Care, Confidentiality, and Professional Behaviour 這五條，以及如Self Review, Self Interest, Advocacy, Familiarity, and Intimidation 這五類道德威脅。

　　比較常見的考察方法包括我們對于道德威脅的識別和給出相應的防范措施，但其中有一部分比過去AA中考察分數增加的地方是，我們要明確指出這種威脅所帶來的的負面影響，所以我們在答題時要結合題目寫出以下三個方面：

　　(a) Identify threats to independence

　　(b) Evaluate the significance of the threats identified

　　(c) Apply safeguards, when necessary, to eliminate the threats or reduce them to an acceptable level.

　　接下來我們來看一道例題：

　　Example 1

　　The audit committee of, Mumbai Co, has asked the partner to consider whether it would be possible for the audit team to perform a review of the company’s internal control system. A number of recent incidents have raised concerns amongst the management team that controls have deteriorated and that this has increased the risk of fraud, as well as inefficient commercial practices. The auditor’s report for the audit of the financial statements of Mumbai Co for the year ended 31 March 2016 was signed a few weeks ago. Mumbai Co is a listed company.

　　Required: Comment on the ethical issues raised and the actions your firm should take in response to the client’s request. (6 marks)

　　在上面這個例題中，要求我們為被審計客戶提供額外的非審計服務-對其內控系統進行評價。這會導致self-review的威脅，并可能導致承擔management responsibility。當然識別出這種威脅僅僅是回答問題的第一步，只回答威脅的名稱是不會得分的，我們需要進一步的分析解釋。 因此，要如下作答：

　　首先識別威脅并提供分析原因：

　　Providing a review of the company’s system and controls gives rise to a self-review threat as these controls will then be reviewed by the firm when determining our audit strategy. The firm may be reluctant to highlight errors or adopt a substantive approach during the audit as this may highlight deficiencies in the firm’s work on the additional service. (此答案可得1分)

　　The design of systems and controls is a management responsibility so a review of such may give rise to a situation where the auditor is assuming a management responsibility by taking on the role of management. (此答案可得1分)

　　接下來我們要評估案例中情形的影響，并給出防范措施：

　　The code states that the threat to independence of undertaking management responsibilities for an audit client is so significant that there are no safeguards which could reduce the threat to an acceptable level. (此答案可得1分)

　　當然我們也可以從其他方面去分析上述情景，言之有理亦會獲得答題分數。

　　比如客戶是上市公司，那我們可以說：

　　Management responsibility can be avoided if the client takes responsibility for monitoring the reports made and taking the decisions on recommendations.

　　However, as this client is listed, we are prohibited from undertaking internal audit services which relate to a significant part of the controls over financial reporting.

　　As such we must decline the additional work. (上述內容也可得到3分)

　　所以大家可根據上述示例來更好的規劃編寫我們的答案，記住只識別出威脅的名稱是無法得到分數的，而需要有更多的分析來展示我們對于知識的理解和運用，希望大家都能在職業道德模塊獲得滿分。
