辉山乳业内部控制分析——基于2016年浑水公司做空事件

Internal Control Analysis of Huishan Dairy —— Based on the ShortSelling Event of Muddy Waters in 2016

2016年12月,美国浑水公司发布做空辉山乳业的报告,指出该公司存在粉饰报表、夸大财务杠杆的行为,随后几个月,辉山乳业股价大跌。而内部控制失效是此次浑水做空事件的源头,作为保障企业正常生产经营的第一道屏障没有发挥出应有的作用。为了研究内部控制在企业营运中的作用,通过内部控制五要素分析了此次事件中辉山乳业的内部控制情况,发现该企业存在控制环境薄弱、风险评估机制不健全、控制活动失效、信息与沟通不顺畅、内部监督不足五方面的问题,并针对这些问题提出了相应的优化建议,希望能为同行业企业优化内部控制提供一些参考和建议。
