Accounting firms in these modern times are subject to enormous pressure and risk. Pressure from clients to cut corners and even 'fudge' (misrepresent) statements made to statutory authorities, as well as the constant and increasing pressure to do more work for even less fees. The risk comes back to the accounting firm in the potential to get caught doing any of these things - willingly or even unknowingly - and the cost of same in terms of hard cost from having to pay penalties, as well as the damage to ones' professional reputation.

There are many forms of risk management in our professional world and they form an integral component of practice management. Many corporations today consider market risk, credit risk, operational risk and a myriad of other risks. Most of the risks that accountants find relevant to their practices are categorised as operational risks and include fraud, disaster recovery, regulatory, reputation and administrative risk.

Quality control is a system of policies and procedures that help ensure a firm is complying with professional standards and regulatory requirements. A sound understanding of risk management is a key foundation for an effective Quality Control system in a practice.

Consequently, a concise manual is the central ingredient in the effective quality control system, and describes in detail the policies and procedures associated with key risk areas of practice when conducting client work. The Quality Control Manual is not merely a set of well-constructed working papers, although these do form a part of the effective quality control system. More than this, the Quality Control Manual is essentially the instruction manual on dealing with clients (and staff) at every stage of the interaction with them.

Professional Standards and Requirements

The quality control requirements for public practice accounting firms in Australia are contained in the document APES 320 Quality Control for Firms (APES = Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board). This standard has mandatory professional status for all firms registered with the main accounting bodies, for all engagements conducted by these firms in Australia. In [http://www.be2concept.be/index.php?qa=user&qa_1=v6qbgxm280 Ship Navigation Audit Assessment] addition, the standard has the backing of law for all audits conducted by firms under part 2M of the Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth).

Recently, the laws surrounding the activities of Taxation Agents in Australia has changed, increasing the level of compliance obligations on agents, and consequently, the level of risk attached with completing client engagements. This is encapsulated in the legislated Code of Professional Conduct (sec.30-10, Tax Agent Services Act 2009).

Whilst not explicitly delineated in the Act, having a comprehensive manual and system will serve to fulfill the majority (if not all) of the requirements of the Code of Conduct, that registered Taxation Agents must now abide by.

Summary

In summary, the is the key control tool that describes what needs to be done and how to do it when performing client engagements, so as to set and maintain a high standard of professionalism and quality of work produced. More than that, the Quality Control Manual is the key tool to use in monitoring and reviewing the quality system itself.

Purpose of Shaft Grounding Systems in Marine Engineering

It's Science 101:

Electricity and water don't mix.

That maxim is no clearer than in marine engineering, where seawater mixed with the electrical systems of a propeller can cause corrosion, loss of efficiency and system failure.

To completely protect a ship it's important to electrically ground the ship's propeller to the hull. Grounding the propeller limits corrosion and damage to the propeller's shaft, bearings, and gear box.

Every motor-powered marine vessel should have some sort of shaft grounding system installed.

Shaft is Critical

One of the most critical parts in a marine vessel's propulsion system is the shaft. Shafts that become corroded over time lose their efficiency. An overly corroded shaft can lead to system failure.

A grounding system is important.

That's because as electricity runs through the engine to the propeller it mixes with water. The combination of the two - called an electro-chemical reaction - causes corrosion to the shaft.

The shaft provides thrust to move the vessel forward.

Shafts that become corroded over time due to electrochemical reactions with seawater lose their efficiency. They become weaker at transferring energy from the vessel's engine to its exterior propulsion system.

A grounding system is also necessary to protect the drive-motors bearings from electrical damage. Excessive capacitive discharge can lead to electrical bearing failure.

At the same time, corrosion left unchecked can shorten any ship's lifespan. This may cause maintenance problems too occur sooner than otherwise.

How Does It Work?

The principle behind shaft grounding is fairly simple.

In most marine vessels, propellers driven by electric current create charges along the exposed sections of the prop. A grounding system insures that as small a charge as possible escapes. The system is designed to ground out all electricity in the ship's hull.

The grounding prevents free-flowing electrons from doing their damage.

As a result, both the propeller and engine are able to run longer and stronger due to less damage. In most cases, each propeller shaft should hold a ground system.

One type of a grounding system uses a layer of metal outside the shaft. This way, any electrochemical potential from seawater will be attracted to the outer layer as opposed to the shaft itself.

Types of Grounding Varies

The best kind of grounding system to use depends on the vessel.

There are different choices and owner can choose.

Some factors include the type of engine, size of the ship and composition of the hull. Also, systems get more complicated depending on the amount of charge handled. At the same time, the number of propellers and engines a vessel has also affects the choice of system.

Consult a Professional

It's not always possible to prevent 100 percent corrosion on or within a marine vessel. But the importance of shaft grounding systems in marine engineering should not be overlooked.

Talk to a professional for the most current information on the purpose of grounding systems.
