Article

Technologies develop and discoveries accelerate to facilitate our everyday life as individuals or societies. Nowadays, several up-to-date technologies emerged to ease our daily routines and help speed up the completion of work without any delay or disruption. The massive direct influence of these technologies on our lives is spontaneously noticeable in case of any equipment breakdown or product quality deficiencies. Nevertheless, one can easily observe how our societies lack the awareness and culture of preventive periodic maintenance needed to avoid the sudden failure of equipment, or at least minimize the repercussions of any machinery breakdown.

By “awareness” and “maintenance culture”, we mean being educated with the proper use of technologies and its protection against extreme weather, and other, conditions.

Periodic maintenance is the finest method to serve our purpose here. Yet, many people lack such awareness, as they fail to engage in periodic maintenance practices or even use genuine spare parts. Trying to avoid periodic maintenance for financial reasons or lack of awareness, is such a drastic mistake to commit as it negatively influences our safety and the safety of others in the same facility.

Therefore, at the Maintenance Division of our Maritime Sector, we are keen on enlightening our clients of the importance of periodic maintenance to preserve their own assets and equipment. We also instruct our clients on how take the necessary safety measures while using their equipment to avoid hazards as much as possible.

Our customers are also made aware of the importance of purchasing genuine spare parts for all their possessions such as cars, motorbikes, marine equipment, engines, electric appliances and electronics in general.

Thus, I address all providers and dealers of electronic appliances, and engines to fulfill their social obligations and guide their clients towards the ideal operation and proper maintenance of their equipment. Dealers should also be accurate and specific when notifying their clients of how to locate the maintenance centers and their timings for effortless ease of access. A dealer should also provide genuine spare parts, perfect reception of the client and the proper after-sale service. All such measures would lead to the satisfaction of the customers who reach the service centers for periodic maintenance and spare parts purchase.

Wishing you all safety and security.

Periodic Maintenance; A Life/Asset Saving Culture

In spare parts business, it is taken for granted that the trademarks of western origin are indisputably reliable in terms of credibility and quality, which is the direct result of importing the equipment they serve from the same countries that manufacture these parts. Yet, consumers may not be aware that machinery and equipment manufacturers lack the infrastructure and production lines necessary to manufacture dozens or even hundreds of thousands of spare parts for assembling a single machine. Therefore, they commissioned other manufacturers from various parts of the world, who work under certain specifications and quality standards, to fabricate the parts required to assemble a machine or make their spare part reserve.

Consequently, several indigenous manufacturers produced spare parts for the machinery producing companies while working on their own trademarks. Thus, they managed to monopolize the spare part markets of the Arab region via presenting various brands under different labels, and manipulating prices and quality standards. However, they failed to observe the unique nature of our regional market, its different needs in terms of its exceptional climate and purchasing power.

Therefore, on the basis of its future perspective, the administration of the Saudi Parts Centre Company (SPC), realized that the need to establish a special trade mark in the world of spare parts, is the ideal method to serve a huge base of clients, whether inside or outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This vision was based on several specific factors:

The need of the regional market for a specialized reliable spare part trade mark to serve heavy machinery.

The instability the business of global leading manufacturers and trademark owners as far as technicalities, financial resources or merging problems are concerned.

Falsifying some renowned trademarks in some Asian markets which led to the loss of consumer confidence in the quality of such brands.

• lack of commitment by the owners of these special media focus distributor specialists and the Centre to appoint several distributors within one country.

Trademark owners appoint several distributors within one country, instead of depending on a sole trusted agent such as SPC.

Finally, this trademark would be the first and only brand specialized in heavy machinery and equipment spare parts within the Arab world.

Thus, SPI came into being as a trademark utterly owned by the Saudi Parts Center Company (SPC) and its exporters; GulfParts – Dubai.

Three years ago, our endeavors to establish the newly born SPI as a competing trademark, wasn’t an easy mission, especially in the presence of several other competitors. Yet, with a focus on quality as a priority, something which others in the region couldn’t afford, in addition to offering premeditated competitive prices and marketing plans that observed the needs of the local market, SPI became a reliable trademark in the spare parts world of today (as stated by several consumers)

As obvious to everyone, the administration of SPC signed several long-term contracts with some oil companies in the region to provide them with SPI spare parts. Signing such contracts stands as proof of the absolute trust SPI gained in the region, especially that our clients, the oil and drilling companies, require spare parts of supreme quality.

This mutual trust between SPI and its clients is the result of a close study of the status of SPI as a renowned trade mark in spare parts business.

The scope of our future shows the potential of SPI ability to compete as a trusted source of high quality and competitive prices. It is worth noting that SPI has more than one formally certified distributor in MENA countries. We also endeavor to distribute our trademark in other countries as we aspire to reach international levels and private and manufacturing.

Despite performing other services for the same client, accounting firms may still be independent when performing audits because of the autonomy, which their service units enjoy.

Accounting firms, which have separate units for different services offered, enjoy a higher level of independence while their reports are more useful, compared to those without separate service units. The observed difference is simply that the presence of such service units contributes to audit independence.

What to do:CPA’s and CA’s in public practice should continue

to enhance and extend their traditional services to be competitive and to better serve their clients and the public at large. The demands from client for a greater range of services necessitates that they should maintain and modify existing clients services to meet clients changing needs. An auditor should reasonably expect what to accomplish in his audit engagement.

Professional organizations of CPA’s and CA’s should strictly adhere to ruling in independence, especially those concerning financial matters or involvement. Standard audit reports should be improved or modified to meet the expanding informational needs of investors, creditors, management and the general public.

Article

Victorino M. Dacumos, CPAAGC – Accounts Dept.

No ethical concept is more important to the Certified Public Accountants’ (CPA’s) and/or Chartered Accountants’ (CA’s) service, their image and other projects than Independence. The auditing services and profession primarily build their authority and acceptance on the basis of Independence.

Researches reveal that there are certain types of services which, when performed, impair Audit Independence. While, on one hand, it would appear that Independence may, to a certain degree, be sacrificed, if CPA’s and CA’s performs services other than audits for the same client. On the other hand, this may not be the case if they have separate units that are independently organized.

The Problem:Researches identify auditors independence as

prescribed by accounting firms. Their audit clients and users of audited financial statements, determine the type of services offered by accounting firms, and how independently organized the service units. The way accounting firms offer audit, or other, services, and how they handle various financial statement users, prove their independence and the usefulness of their audit reports.

Findings:Accounting firms mainly offer various services such as: (1) Audit services (2) Tax services (3) Management advisory services (4) Bookkeeping services (5) Other services.

The majority of accounting firms, which have various separate service units, are independently organized in terms of functional and administrative relationships and the responsibility of the partners/owners over each service units.

The accounting firms with separate service units are very independent and their audit reports are very useful. Therefore, more clients for audit and other services find their auditors very independent and their reports more useful compared to those offering audit services only.

Conclusion:Certain types of services offered by accounting firms

availed more than the rest although audit and tax services remain their professional practices. More clients now avail of management advisory and other services such as investment consultancy, stock transfer services, and incorporation of businesses.
