Is Your Team Focused on the Right Priorities?

In the first months of the Covid-19 crisis, many teams were grappling with the new reality of working from home. Now that it seems that many will be working remotely for the foreseeable future, it’s a good time to take stock of whether your teams are still focused on the right priorities. Ask your team leaders to evaluate their short and long-term objectives: Are they still relevant to your current situation? They’ll likely need to make some adjustments — teams that are still operating as they did six months ago may be cause for concern. Make sure you assess the team’s adjusted priorities against any revised company projections: Do their scope, output, and timing still make sense given the new reality? If not, determine whether the team’s work can be shifted to create value in the current environment, or whether you need to reorganize to meet new needs. Regular check-ins on your team’s priorities increase the chance that you’ll identify small problems early, allowing you to ensure they don’t become big issues later.

Try Silence During Your Next Remote Brainstorm

Research shows that embracing silence during a brainstorm helps teams produce significantly more — and higher-quality — ideas. Silent brainstorming can be particularly useful in remote meetings. So what does it look like in practice? First, starting with the meeting invite, make sure everyone understands the goals of the brainstorming session. Then, at the beginning of your meeting, share a working document (such as a Google Doc) with key questions that need to be answered. Encourage all participants to contribute to the document for 10 to 20 minutes without talking. During this time, attendees can actively ideate and respond to each other in the document. The leader can also participate, providing direction and asking attendees to elaborate on specific ideas as they’re being formed. Once the silent phase of the brainstorm is complete, you can begin a discussion if your group is relatively small. If the group is large, you can end the meeting, review the document, and follow up with an email that shares conclusions and next steps. Or, you might consider sending out a quick survey where participants can react or vote on options to move forward.

Today’s Tip

Adopt a “Choice Mindset” When Facing an Ultimatum

Lots of negotiators use ultimatums to elicit concessions from the other party — and they’re often successful. So what should you do if you’re on the receiving end of one of these “take it or leave it” demands? One tactic is to adopt a “choice mindset,” which helps you see other options. Before the negotiation, make a list of any and all choices that you and your counterpart have. Write down your choices on one side of your list and your counterpart’s choices on the other side. Think broadly — don’t just focus on numbers, but consider other things that might be valuable to either side. For example, if you’re negotiating for a new job, of course salary is important to both of you. But if you get stuck on salary, you could negotiate on other points, such as more vacation days or less work-related travel. Or if you’re buying a new car, instead of fixating on price, you could think about what additional accessories the dealer might be willing to throw in. When you understand the choices available to you — and your counterpart — you’re much less likely to cave in response to a “take it or leave it” ultimatum.

Don’t Let Video Calls Drain Your Energy

Let’s face it, video calls are exhausting. But there are a few things you can do to conserve your time and energy. Start by avoiding multitasking. It may be tempting to try to get other work done while you’re listening in, but switching between tasks can cost you as much as 40% of your productivity. Next, cut down on distractions. Close your browser tabs, put your phone away, and stay present. You can take short breaks during longer calls by minimizing the video, or just looking away from your computer now and then. You can also take a step back and ask yourself whether you even need a video meeting. Check your calendar to see if there are any conversations that you could have over Slack or email instead. And finally, don’t feel obligated to make every conversation a video call. Especially when you’re talking to people outside your organization, a phone call is probably just fine. Taking these steps may feel hard at first, but they will help prevent you from feeling drained at the end of another workday.

Resumen de las consideraciones de auditoría por Covid-19

Las consecuencias de la pandemia de Covid-19 sobre los informes de estados financieros y los trabajos de auditoría son complejas y han resultado en desafíos para la administración, los encargados del gobierno corporativo y los auditores. Existe un nivel de incertidumbre sin precedentes sobre la economía, las ganancias futuras y muchos otros insumos que representan elementos fundamentales de la información financiera. Es probable que los preparadores de los estados financieros consideren implicaciones sustanciales y múltiples para la presentación de informes financieros con el propósito de informar a corto y potencialmente a mediano plazo.

La incertidumbre que surge del entorno actual puede aumentar el desafío de obtener la evidencia de auditoría suficiente y adecuada necesaria para formar una visión independiente sobre la razonabilidad de las estimaciones y juicios de la administración. Es importante que los preparadores y los auditores participen en discusiones que evalúen el impacto temprano en el marco de tiempo de preparación y el proceso de auditoría, ya que es probable que haya problemas que no se hayan encontrado anteriormente y que ahora necesiten ser considerados.

Es probable que tanto los preparadores como los auditores se vean afectados por las restricciones de viaje y los requisitos para quedarse en casa, que presentan desafíos prácticos para el trabajo de auditoría. Las compañías pueden obtener información de formas nuevas o diferentes y / u operar controles sobre la producción de información financiera de manera diferente. Las firmas de auditoría también pueden haber girado hacia el trabajo remoto, utilizando diversas herramientas tecnológicas disponibles.

Algunos de los desafíos e implicaciones clave de auditoría de Covid-19 son:

La aplicación del juicio y el escepticismo profesional.

Planeación…Identificación y evaluación de riesgos

Evidencia de auditoría

Estimados contables

Consideraciones de negocio en marcha

Eventos subsecuentes

Informe de auditoría

Para ello se destaca varios recursos que están disponibles en el sitio web dedicado a Covid-19 de IFAC. Debido a que no es una lista exhaustiva ni pretende cubrir todos los problemas prácticos y técnicos en una auditoría en el entorno actual. Los lectores deben consultar los estándares internacionales para todos los requisitos de una auditoría.

Los auditores tendrán que ejercer un juicio profesional significativo y escepticismo profesional y deben permanecer enfocados en sus responsabilidades éticas y el interés público. Las Normas Internacionales de Auditoría (NIA) del IAASB se basan en principios y continúan aplicándose en su totalidad. Los auditores también deben considerar los requisitos legales y reglamentarios nacionales. La aplicación del Código de Ética Internacional de IESBA para Contadores Profesionales (incluidas las Normas Internacionales de Independencia), incluido el cumplimiento de los principios fundamentales (integridad, objetividad, competencia profesional y debido cuidado, confidencialidad y comportamiento profesional), es clave para la preservación y expansión de la confianza del público en todos los auditores.
