Accounting methods distort. Compared with the
7、first two types, the use of some special methods of accounting distortions reflect the business situation, manipulation of accounting information of false acts were committed abroad in cases of accounting fraud is more prevalent. (B) the hazards of accounting fraud Intensified the listed companys ac
8、counting fraud had been to the countrys economic, political, and cultural fields caused immeasurable losses. 1. All kinds of departments for distortion of accounting information will lead to macro-decision-making out of control, seriously affect the industrial structure optimization, the rational al
9、location of social resources and the orderly flow of weakening the authority of state laws and regulations, and have serious social economic problems. 2. The impact of accounting information users make the right investment decisions, damages the interests of investors and creditors, and has hit inve
10、stor confidence and affect the healthy development of capital markets and undermine the investment environment. 3.

11、and operation enterprises. 4. Disrupt the market rules of the game, increased market speculation and market volatility, severe damage to primary and secondary equity. 5.

12、uption resulted in economic losses and consumer welfare losses are estimated annually 978500000000-12 between 57 billion yuan, accounting for 13.6% of Chinas GDP of around 16.8%. All these have seriously affected our normal social and economic order, and hinder Chinas market economy and a steady, he
13、althy and rapid development. Second, the accounting fraud cause analysis (A) lack of clarity of property rights The reason why Chinas current accounting fraud to become a common phenomenon, one of the causes is the enterprise business system in transition, the relationship between property ownership
14、 are not clearly defined, leading to the original functions of supervisory authority has been weakened, but on behalf of corporate property rights monitoring body has not been established. Therefore, the problem of accounting fraud will be more prominent. (B) inadequate corporate governance structur
15、e As the shareholding structure of Chinas stock market congenital defects, so that listed companies in China and Western countries are generally characterized by state-owned shares due to the dominance of the shareholding structure, thus resulting governance structure of listed companies, including
16、shareholders, board of directors, board of supervisors of mutual checks and balances between the distorted. (C) the accounting legislation is not perfect Since December 1990 Chinas Shanghai Stock Exchange since its inception, has successively promulgated and improve the Company Law, Securities Law a
17、nd a series of laws and regulations, but the effect of the practical implementation point of view, there are still more serious defects. First, regulations promulgated lagged behind the development of practice, legislation appears to be more passive, passive plugging holes, the lack of predictabilit
18、y. Second, the operability of laws and regulations is not strong and poorly enforced, especially prominently reflected in the right CPA ineffective sanctions against persons outside the law, the law often to accept the administrative punishment instead of civil liability to pay a small fine instead
19、of confiscation of all ill-gotten gains and additional heavy fines, accounting provides the maximum individual amount of the administrative penalty is 5 million units of a maximum of 10 million, this right is negligible penalties for counterfeiting is difficult to produce for other offenders, deter
20、others from role.

However, the
21、development of Chinas accounting profession has, after all, is only 20 years of history, as compared with the economically developed countries there is an obvious gap. Mainly reflected in: (1) practicing low level; (2) unfair competition in the grave; (3) the lack of certified public accountants ind
22、ependence. Third, prevention and management of accounting fraud countermeasures (A) improve the internal governance structure 1. To establish an effective incentive mechanism. At present, Chinas incentives for executives behind, most are still stuck in the traditional system of on wage earners, mana
23、gers and employees with the company effective combination of income level is not high, from the legal point of explicitly allow and encourage companies shares as incentives, and allow management to achieve the business goal to increase its shareholding. 2. To protect the rights of small shareholders
24、. To completely change Chinas Listed Companies major shareholders control over the phenomenon, monitor major shareholders, board of directors and executives of the acts must protect the legitimate rights of small and medium shareholders. Should therefore take effective measures to encourage small sh
25、areholders to participate actively in general meeting of shareholders, such as the collection agency to establish the right to vote on behalf of shareholders of Dazhong Xiao Guang-listed companies involved in major decision-making participation in voting; a well-compensation mechanism. 3.

30、ndependent channel of communication and information communication; through the distribution of powers, checks and balances, and information disclosure mechanisms, in-house control mechanisms to reduce the risk of accounting fraud; in checks and balances agency side and large shareholders accounting
31、information on the rights, the implementation of duties not compatible with the system to prevent cross-representation of senior management. (C) improve the accounting legislation 1. Establish a sound civil compensation system. We can draw the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act experience, mandatory f
32、or companies in respect of its issued by the companys accounting information to make "personal written certification" to the responsibility of the concrete implementation of accounting information to individuals; in law, such a legal system can be implemented in the general shareholders ci
33、vil suit for compensation to give evidence, and thereby mobilize the interests of the peoples enthusiasm to prosecute counterfeiters and to increase deterrence. 2. To increase penalties for accounting fraud. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of accounting fraud were made by a series of severe penalties, such as se
34、nior management of related companies suspected of accounting fraud, if the maximum is liable to a fine of five million U.S. dollars, or 20 years in prison. Moreover, Chinas relevant laws and regulations on accounting fraud accounting of the United States far less punishment. Therefore, China should
35、establish a strict senior managers of listed companies, the economic sanctions regime; increase individual staff of the accounting fraud criminal penalties, so that false those who deserve punishment.

36、 reduce competition in space, the full implementation of a limited liability partnership (LLP), raising the cost of illegal accounting firms. 2. Improve the listed companys audit commissioned by the admissibility of the system and implement auditing by the SFC, the AICPA agreed to appoint the tender
37、 system. 3. To implement the audit of listed companies rotation every three years to replace the mandatory accounting firms, certified public accountants and listed companies so as not to be too close and lost independence. 4. The establishment of a civil compensation mechanism of Certified Public A
38、ccountants, Certified Public Accountant due to collusion fraud or gross negligence of listed companies which failed to find significant accounting fraud, resulting in losses of investors and creditors, it shall bear civil liability. To sum up, Chinas current economic development is at a critical per
