The fraud triangle discussed in this chapter is applicable to U.S companies as well Some of the most infamous U.S fraud scandals are Enron, Worldcom, and, more recently, the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme.
After numerous corporate scandals, the U.S Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) Under SOX, all publicly traded U.S corporations are required to maintain an adequate system of internal control
As a result of SOX, corporate executives and boards of directors must ensure that internal controls are reliable and effective In addition, independent outside auditors must attest to the adequacy
of the internal control system.

The enhanced internal control standards apply only to large public companies listed on U.S exchanges There is continuing debate over whether foreign issuers should have to comply with this extra layer of regulation
Most companies report cash and cash equivalents together under IFRS and GAAP, as shown in this textbook In addition, GAAP
follows the same accounting policies related to the reporting of restricted cash.

Looking to the Future
Understanding U.S GAAP
High-quality international accounting requires both high-quality accounting standards and high-quality auditing Similar to the convergence of GAAP and IFRS, there is a movement to improve both U.S and international auditing standards.The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) functions as an independent standard-setting body It works to establish high-
quality auditing and assurance and quality-control standards throughout the world Whether the IAASB adopts internal control provisions similar to those in SOX remains to be seen Also, under proposed new standards being developed jointly by the FASB and IASB for financial statement presentation, cash equivalents cannot
be combined with cash.
