Pescanova crisis can go face to BDO . The auditing firm had always argued that the task could not be discovering the fraud , but checking accounts within its limitations . However, the Institute of Accounting and Auditing (ICAC ) , the Ministry of Economy, sees signs that the firm did not do his job. It has opened disciplinary proceedings considering that he has committed a serious offense by " non-compliance audit that could have a significant effect on their work and , therefore, in its report" .
BDO, charged in the case opened in court for alleged fraud , gave its approval to Pescanova accounts year after year even though it has been shown that after not even remotely correspond with reality. The ICAC believes that the auditor BDO failed in several respects technical standards and audit working papers do not reflect the required verification to audit the accounts . BDO prepares its claims to defend against the charges . Sources value the firm within the normal initiation of the proceedings of the ICAC, highlight that record is initiated solely by monitoring the technical auditing standards , but have been found , therefore , evidence of gross misconduct and recall that so far , BDO never been sanctioned by the ICAC .

The ICAC has a period of one year to decide whether to impose a fine or suspension of the auditor as punishment. The fines provided are up to 3% of the fees billed by BDO audit activity and 3,000 to 12,000 euros with possible suspension of up to two years for the audit partner (in this case Sañé Santiago , against whom also opens the file). The vast majority of cases opened by the ICAC are, as in this case , a serious violation . According to industry figures , 510 of the sanctions imposed by the ICAC since 1993 , 493 ( 97% ) have been a serious violation , with total fines of 53.3 million , with an average of just over 100,000 euros. There have been only six minor penalties , totaling 9,022 euros and 11 very severe , for 492,739 euros.
The record indicates the possible circumvention of technical auditing standards regarding planning, in relation to the failure to obtain evidence on various items (especially on the consolidation of companies) and as for the assessment of the effect on and the annual audit report omissions of information in memory accounts.
The National Securities Market Commission was alerted to the ICAC for possible infractions relating to the audit of the accounts for 2010 and 2011. The chair of the ICAC considered possible violations relating to the 2010 accounts was prescribed and began to investigate the work of the 2011 audit until February 26 of the ICAC President , Ana Maria Martinez -Pina , agreed to initiate the disciplinary proceedings .
The risk of fraud
The low retail sanctioning of any breaches . In terms of planning , regarding the risk of fraud, BDO methodology used as "speaking with management, with responsibility for corporate governance and any other person of the entity , for any actual fraud , suspected or alleged to have struck entity during the year. " He concluded that they were not aware of fraud in the past and that " segregation of existing functions make the risk of fraud is significantly mitigated ." The ICAC alleges that the working papers BDO has not been " assessed the existence of fraud risk factors as integrity management, the existence of unusual pressures [ or ] unusual transactions " that can " obtain evidence or no risk of fraud. "
The case considers the audit planning was not adequate in relation to internal control procedures , the consolidation process or the criteria for fixing the error margins . It notes, for example , which do not consist procedures to verify that certain companies are part of the group, one of the most important sources of accounting discrepancies in this case . BDO is also accused of failing to check the margins in the purchase and sale of stocks between group companies , another source of alleged fraud in the company. Nor tally some accounts consolidated with those deposited in the Commercial Register subsidiaries.
In dozens of cases , the record repeats the formula " , not all the procedures .. " or " no record has been proceeded to look for evidence ... " or similar . The lack of verification data of the subsidiaries is the source of increased defaults , according to the record .
