da ja auch teilweise EY bei Tesla mitmischt: Unit of Equifax’s auditor EY certified the information security that was later breached https://www.marketwatch.com/story/unit-of-equifaxs-auditor-e… => ...Equifax Inc. used a consulting arm of its auditor to certify that its information-security risks were under control — a possible conflict for a company that missed the system vulnerability that gave hackers access to the personal information of 143 million consumers. Equifax never disclosed that a subsidiary of its auditor, Ernst & Young, is the consulting firm that provided services that failed to detect the control weakness that led to the massive breach. What are called ISO certifications are relied upon by the auditor when assessing controls over information systems that support financial reporting. Lynn Turner, the former chief accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said it’s a gray area. “It’s not clear if SEC auditor independence rules prohibit EY from issuing an attest opinion on a company’s information security controls, including an opinion that covered whether or not Equifax had proper controls in place to ensure necessary software changes (updates and patches) were properly authorized and done in a timely manner,” he said in an email. “That is something the auditor would need to test as part of their audit of internal controls. Provided EY had nothing to do with the design, implementation or operation of those IT controls, I think it would be OK.” However, Turner cautioned, “The problem here seems to be that EY issued an Attest Opinion on the Equifax IT security controls that was apparently not supportable. That calls into question the quality and veracity of their work and that report. It also calls into question whether EY has support for any report issued on the adequacy of the internal controls of Equifax, issued in connection with their independent audit.”... |
