Advantages and disadvantages of audit committees
The key advantage to an external auditor of having an audit committee is that such a committee of
independent non-executive directors provides the auditor with an independent point of reference other
than the executive directors of the company, in the event of disagreement arising.
Advantage
- It will lead to increased confidence in the credibility and objectivity of financial reports.
- By specialising in the problems of financial reporting and thus, to some extent, fulfilling the directors' responsibility in this area, it will allow the executive directors to devote their attention to management.
- In cases where the interests of the company, the executive directors and the employees conflict, the audit committee might provide an impartial body for the auditors to consult.
- The internal auditors will be able to report to the audit committee
Disadvantage
- There may be difficulty selecting sufficient non-executive directors with the necessary competence in auditing matters for the committee to be really effective.
- The establishment of such a formalised reporting procedure may dissuade the auditors from raising matters of judgement and limit them to reporting only on matters of fact.
- Costs may be increased.

Why ineffective audit committee lead to ineffective board of directors?
The most importance reason that lead to strong board of directors is they get all of the information on time and accurately.
That mean the system of flowing the information from operation to BOD need to be effective and strong. Good audit committee run this job effectively.
If the company have poor audit committee, the internal control of the company will be poor, financial information that flow to BOD might be incorrect or not on time.
Poor audit committee also leave internal and external auditor run carelessly. The independence of this two function might be breached.

What are ultimate reasons of corporate failure?
It is quite interesting to know what are the ultimate reason of corporate failure. The are many reason which is indicators of business failure and those things might be happen in your company daily basis but you may not recognize it.
Here is the list of ultimate factors or reason of corporate failure based on my study of performance management paper in ACCA.
The firs one poor business planning: If you note that your company does have the business planning or the business planning does prepare carefully which attached to the currently performance of the company, then this the the factors of failure. You company might perform in the wrong direction to you corporate objective.
The second one of corporate failure is the poor financial planning or it simply called budget. The budget is the tool use to measure the performance of the company or its might also use by BOD to authorize the expenses that allow the executive level for implement. Poor of financial planning mean that the budget doesn't has clear basis of calculation, no controlling purpose, improper link to the corporate planning or objective. The budget might to be easy to perform or too tight to implement.
The third one is poor marketing: to let your costumer know your product or services, you have to have good marketing program. It might be through campaign or e-marketing. If you does't have good marketing program, your product or service probably soon become small and small in term of marketing share. Marketing program is quite importance in the market currently. Most of the big company now choice e marketing as the strategy for their market penetration. Market penetration refer to increase the marketing share of you existing product.
The last one and I think it is the very importance is poor management. Poor management here what I understand is not only refer to poor executive level, but also poor of BOD.
If the company have poor leadership management like CEO, CFO, or related director, the cost of staff turnover will be high. The company will also face the lost of key staff and remain only inactive staff.
This is very importance to the company success. From my expenses, no productive department have poor leadership manager and no success company have poor management team.
Poor BOD or inactive BOD will let executive run the company freely and carelessly.

The major benefit of target costing
Targeting cost is the Japaneses Management Style which is now adopt by EU countries. The concept of target costing is the company have to identified the affordable price for the specific product or service that they are going to sales first than set up the cost.
The concept of target costing is to reduce the cost the large production or in total while the Kaizen costing which is also from Japan, reduce the cost from the small incremental amount.
After the company set up the cost, then the company should compare the cost gap between the set cost and actual cost. It has to work to make sure that gap is close.
Remember, closing gap is doesn't mean reduce the quality.

Why group of small companies should set up internal audit department?
I have worked in many local companies in Cambodia and some of those have audit department and some doesn't have.
Some of the group companies installed internal audit departments which is under the Board of Directors and some of them install internal audit department under finance departments.
It quite simple that the public limited companies are required to set up internal audit department under audit committee and board as it is required by law and best practices. However, the limited company might not required.
How about limited companies which is not require by to set up internal audit department?
In some country, the limited companies are not required to set up internal audit department as set up internal audit department will cost a lot of money. In Cambodia, there are many limited companies which have their subsidiary and the major decision centralize at the group or management team in the group.
The group companies might have a lot of work to do and normally they do not have enough time to ensure that all the decision have been follow by its subsidiary. They know the process, policy, or decision that deploy by group companies does not implement unlit the problem raise, or the fraud occur.
To me, installing the small internal audit department which is report to controlling department that control the subsidiary is really importance and its might help the management team in the group company take nape peacefully.
By theories, internal audit department should not report to finance, CEO or other operating department since its might be conflict with the operation. The reporting line should be BOD or audit committee. The main reason is because of BOD and audit committee is the one who control the executive department like CEO. If the reporting line is to CEO then there will be conflict.
For the group of limited companies do not required audit department, do not have BOD and audit committee, the best way to make sure all of the policies, procedure, operating effectiveness, and fraud that occur in subsidiary companies, small audit team at the group companies should be setting up.
