Case Analysis: Hue Incorporated
Answers:
a. In my opinion the main cause why Hue Incorporated Board does not understand the report given
by Internal Chief Auditor is that he had lack of information and did not comprehend the reports
provided to them by the chief internal auditor, where directors are all executives and no non-
executive problem may arise because all directors are to be appointed to head departments. In the
case, the qualifications of the directors, including educational attainment, adequate competency,
age requirement, integrity, and assiduousness, were not expressed.
b. In order to solve and analyze the identified problem happen in letter “A” each board member's
expertise and qualifications and any potential conflicts of interest that would impair their
judgment, I propose that the Board completely disclose all relevant and material information on
each individual board member and key executive. This is done to ensure the directors are
competent.
c. The company should develop criteria for the suitable selection of an external audit and exercise
effective control of the same in order to guarantee the independence of the external auditor. To
avoid any potential conflicts of interest, the corporation should additionally disclose the non-audit
services that its external auditor does.
