2 Internal Reporting Track XBRL application to Internal Controls December 4th, 2007 Yuji Furusho CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) Fujitsu Limited

3 Background  Annual documentation and evaluation of Internal Controls are “formal activities” for listed companies in the following countries: ◦ U.S.- Sarbanes and Oxley Act (so-called SOX) ◦ Canada- Bill-198 / Regulation 52-109 ◦ Japan- Financial Products Exchange Act (so-called J-SOX) ◦ Korea, France, etc.  Evaluation of Internal Controls in accordance with the significance of the impact on the financial statements is key. ◦ This means that evaluation of the internal controls should be consistent with the significance of related accounts, and therefore consistent with the ultimate impact in the financial statements. - 1 -

4  Enterprise Model – connecting FS, GL, and business process Financial Statement (PL) sales (BS) A/R (BS) inventory ┆ General Ledger Hardware sales Maintenance sales ┆ Sales Process - Head Quarter - related accounts: (n) risk (n) control ┆ (PL) sales Software sales Sales Process - North Region - related accounts: (n) risk (n) control ┆ Software sales A/R - Software - 2 -

5  Internal Control Taxonomy to handle non-financial business process information. ◦ Definition of “Control Objective”, “Risk”, and “Control Activity” in a business process. ◦ “Design effectiveness”, “Operational effectiveness”, and “Remediation plan/status” as values. ◦ Utilization of “COSO elements”  For comprehensive Risk/Control identification.  For focusing not only “Risk” but also “Opportunity”. - 3 -

8  Using element / value to “link” taxonomies; ◦ FR taxonomy and GL taxonomy “xbrlinfo” elements in GL taxonomy ◦ GL taxonomy and IC (Internal Control) taxonomy “relatedAccount” element in IC taxonomy sales: “682,xxx” GL xbrlinfo: FR sales: xbrlinfo: “sales” taxonomy instance accountMainID: “EX00100” IC relatedAccount: GL accountMainID: relatedAccount: “EX00100” taxonomy instance - 6 -

9  The following “FS – GL (Trial Balance) – IC” model has been adopted for Proof-of-Concept. Financial Statement (PL) sales (BS) A/R (BS) inventory ┆ General Ledger ┆ Journal Entry ┆ Trial Balance (by location) (PL) sales (BS) A/R (BS) inventory ┆ Internal Control location x process related accounts (n) risk (n) control ┆ location definition acct-process mapping Definition using Dimensional Taxonomy aggregation - 7 -

16  Use of “dimensionItem” ◦ Multi dimension of “Control Objective”, “Risk”, and “Control Activity”  Use of Reference Link ◦ Use of “part element”, setting Boolean value;  Control objective: F/R, O/R, C, S/A  Assertion: Ex, C, R/O, Ev, A/C, P/D  Type of Control: Manual, Automatic - 14 - assertion – E/O - yes / no (Boolean) Risk Reference Link Evaluation Control Objective 1Risk 1Control Activity 1 Control Activity 2 Risk2Control Activity 3

17  Consistent and effective risk management for Financial Reporting by balancing financial risk significance and control importance. FR to GL GL to IC - 15 -

18  Identify and understand internal control implications on significant accounts – (Where and what kind of issues, etc. ) Financial Statement ▷ ▷ ▷ Internal Control A/RLocation A: A/R Location B: A/R 15 % 75 % processdepartmentscoreissue - 16 -

19  Identify and understand accounts affected by internal control issues. Internal Control ▷ ▷ ▷ Financial Statement Location A: A/R Location B: A/R A/R 15 % 75 % processdepartmentscoreissue deficiencies - 17 -

20  Flexible definition and evaluation through taxonomy. 1.Relationship among “Control Objective”, “Risk”, and “Control Activity” using dimensional model  Evaluation of “Control Objective” and “Control Activity” relationship, skipping “Risk” element, or evaluation of “Risk” and “Control Activity” relationship, skipping “Control Objective” 2.“Risk” or “Control Activity” evaluation with respect to specific “Control Objective”  A company may want to focus on “Financial Reporting” objective, while other may want to include “Operational Effectiveness” objective. 3.Identification of compensating controls  “Control Activity” relevant to “Risk” by evaluating “Related Assertion” - 18 -

21  Dimensional definition of “Control Objective”, “Risk”, and “Control Activity”. - 19 -

22  Flexible evaluation of “Risk” and “Control Activity” focusing on “Control Objective” – Company may want to focus on “Financial Reporting” for SOX auditing purpose. - 20 - Financial Reporting - yes / no (Boolean) Control Objective Reference Link Operational Effectiveness - yes / no (Boolean) Compliance - yes / no (Boolean) Safeguarding Asset - yes / no (Boolean) Control Objective Reference Link COSO Taxonomy Company Extension “part” element

23  Compensating controls may be identified through “assertion” attributes assigned to “Risk” and “Control Activity”. ◦ In cases of effectiveness failure of key controls, compensating controls may be identified along with assertions assigned to them. Risk E/O Y C Y V/A Y R/O - P/D - assertion Control 1 - key E/O Y C Y V/A - R/O - P/D - related assertion E/O Y C Y V/A - R/O - P/D - related assertion failure Find “Compensating control” Control 2 – non-key - 21 -
