Quality control of audit procedure has become extremely important in today’s corporate environment in the backdrop of accounting irregularities and audit failures leading to corporate demise. Accounting firms control the quality of audit procedure with the help of the quality control standard (QCS) and specific auditing standard. These standards provide reasonable assurance of compliance with applicable regulation and issuance of the appropriate report by the engagement team. After discussing the international scenario of quality control framework, in this study a comparative analysis of quality control policies and procedures at firm and engagement in three select countries has been presented. The countries selected are the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK) and India. The study finds that the QCS and the auditing standard in all three countries are designed in line with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and International Standards on Quality Control (ISQC)-1. Naturally, quality control policies and procedures in three countries are comparable barring few minor differences. Based on these differences, it can be concluded that the quality control framework in the UK and India is more stringent as compared to the USA.

AbstractWe report a SARS-CoV-2 lineage that shares N501Y, P681H, and other mutations with known variants of concern, such as B.1.1.7. This lineage, which we refer to as B.1.x (COG-UK sometimes references similar samples as B.1.324.1), is present in at least 20 states across the USA and in at least six countries. However, a large deletion causes the sequence to be automatically rejected from repositories, suggesting that the frequency of this new lineage is underestimated using public data. Recent dynamics based on 339 samples obtained in Santa Cruz County, CA, USA suggest that B.1.x may be increasing in frequency at a rate similar to that of B.1.1.7 in Southern California. At present the functional differences between this variant B.1.x and other circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants are unknown, and further studies on secondary attack rates, viral loads, immune evasion and/or disease severity are needed to determine if it poses a public health concern. Nonetheless, given what is known from well-studied circulating variants of concern, it seems unlikely that the lineage could pose larger concerns for human health than many already globally distributed lineages. Our work highlights a need for rapid turnaround time from sequence generation to submission and improved sequence quality control that removes submission bias. We identify promising paths toward this goal.

PT Unitex merupakan perusahaan manufaktur yang bergerak di industri tekstil yang mengolah kapas menjadi kain jadi. Departemen tenun adalah salah satu departemen di PT Unitex, yang memproses benang menjadi kain mentah. Seringnya terjadi permasalahan terhadap pengendalian mutu yang tidak mencapai target di Departemen Tenun, menyebabkan peningkatan waktu pemrosesan produk untuk memperbaiki produk yang cacat juga akan berdampak pada jumlah produksi. Untuk itu penelitian dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis proses pengendalian mutu untuk mengetahui faktor utama penyebab terjadinya produk cacat sehingga didapatkan ususlan untuk mengurangi jumlah produk cacat pada hasil produksi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Metode Six Sigma, dengan langkah-langkah Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan, didapatkan nilai Defect per Million Opportunity yang diperoleh adalah sebesar 181.67 dan nilai Sigma sebesar 5.07. Dengan nilai sigma sebesar 5.07 berarti Departmen Tenun telah mencapai tingkat industri rata-rata USA. Tapi masih ada cacat yang terjadi dari satu juta peluang. Untuk memaksimalkan kontrol kualitas, rekomendasinya adalah untuk memperkuat pengawasan kepada operator, memprioritaskan pemeriksaan mesin, dan menekankan ketersediaan suku cadang mesin, terutama yang rentan terhadap kerusakan.AbstractPT Unitex is a manufacturing company engaged in the textile industry. Processing carried out at PT Unitex is processing cotton into finished cloth. The Weaving Department is one of the departments at PT Unitex, which processes yarn into raw fabrics. The most frequent and most noticed problem in the Weaving Department is the quality control problem that often does not reach the target. In addition, this also causes an increase in product processing time to repair defective products which will also have an impact on the amount of production. For this reason, this research is carried out by identifying and analyzing the quality control process to determine the main factors causing the occurrence of defective products so that will reduce the number of defective products in the production. The method used in this study is the Six Sigma Method, with steps Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC). As soon as the calculation is done, the Defect per Million Opportunity (DPMO) value obtained is 181.67 and the Sigma value is 5.07. With a sigma value of 5.07, Weaving Department has reached the average industry level of the USA. But there are still defects that occur from one million opportunities. To maximize quality control, the recommendations are to strengthen supervision of operators, prioritize inspection of machinery, and emphasize the availability of machine parts, especially those that are vulnerable to damage.Keywords: DPMO; Six Sigma; Production; Quality Control; Weaving Department

Large Retailers in the USA have evolved in recent years from buying products designed and built by the manufactures, to more of an “import direct” strategy on commodity products. As a result the emphasis for engineering, quality control, and factory support falls back on the Retailer to manage. The downside with such a strategy is the vacuum left for true innovative products. The Large Retailers find themselves hungry for companies to provide problem solving solutions resulting in patentable innovative products that are outside the norm as provided by most of their vendors. We developed a successful, proven, R&D and specific Engineering, by designing in manufacturing processes and equipment capabilities as set forth by qualified factories, both domestically and internationally, while working with the Large Retailers to provide patentable innovative products.
