Lind Andersson has investigated the reasons to why Swedish listed companies choose not to have an Internal Audit function. Our study indicates that more than 50 % of Large and Mid Cap companies choose not to have an internal audit function. The reasons for this vary, but among the most common explanations are that the companies have controllers and CFO:s in the organization responsible for monitoring the internal control effectiveness; we find this surprising since they are not an independent monitoring function. Another interesting explanation is that 10 % of the companies do not have an internal audit function since the Board and Management assess the internal control to be effective. Does that mean that the companies with an internal audit function have assessed their internal control environment to be ineffective?

Undersökning av svenska biståndsorganisationers möjligheter och hinder för att ansöka om skattereduktion för gåvor.

Lind Andersson genomförde under februari 2012 en undersökning om vad svenska biståndsorganisationer anser vara centralt för att ansöka skattereduktion för gåvor för. Enkäten har skickats till 126 utvalda svenska insamlingsorganisationer av varierande storlek. Drygt en tredjedel av organisationerna har svarat i undersökningen.

Vi har undersökt varför organisationer väljer att söka skattereduktion för gåvor och vad som får organisationer att avstå. Vidare har vi undersökt vad den administrativa kostnaden beräknas bli samt vilka eventuella strukturer som måste utvecklas för att kunna hantera skattereduktion för gåvor.
