CR – Mar 2025 – L3 – Q4 – Business Valuation

Calculate share value for Gogomi LTD using net assets, price-earnings, and dividend yield methods.

a) Gogomi LTD, a privately owned joint venture, produces a range of equipment for the oil and gas industry in Ghana. One of the venturers, Oman Pension Funds (OPF), who holds one-third of Gogomi LTD’s ordinary shares, has decided to sell all of its holdings. This plan forms part of measures OPF is using to redirect focus of its investment strategy by replacing its equity assets with fixed-income holdings. OPF would therefore like to know the current value of its shareholdings to guide it during any negotiation with a potential buyer.
The following draft financial statements (together with the additional information) should be used to estimate the share value:

Draft statement of profit or loss of Gogomi LTD for the year ended 31 August 2024

GH¢000
Revenue 115,500
Cost of sales (80,300)
Gross profit 35,200
Selling and distribution (12,300)
Administrative expenses (8,550)
Profit before tax 14,350

Additional information:

  1. Included in properties is an office building whose fair value has been measured by a valuation specialist at GH¢25 million. This value compares to a book value of GH¢19.5 million. Plant is not yet adjusted for a required reversal of GH¢2 million impairment charge previously written off to profit or loss account against an item of plant. On 28 August 2024, Gogomi LTD bought an item of equipment and paid GH¢15.2 million, net of 5% withholding tax, to the equipment dealer. Management have expensed the associated withholding tax (already paid to the local tax office) within the income statement.
  2. Included in receivables is an amount of GH¢4.4 million owed by a customer who has fallen into an unexpected, serious financial difficulty. As a consequence, expert assessment indicates that Gogomi LTD will have to wait until 31 August 2025 to receive the full amount in a single payment.
  3. Gogomi LTD’s current ordinary dividend cover computed, based on the above draft accounts, is 4. Preference dividends have been fully paid.
  4. A comparable quoted firm’s price-earnings ratio and dividend yield are 7.2 and 4.52% respectively. No adjustment should be made to these ratios, if they are used in any computations.

AAA – Nov 2024 – L3 – Q2a – Audit Risks and Responses for Ecowud Co. LTD

Identifying audit risks in Ecowud Co. LTD and how auditors should respond.

Ecowud Co. LTD (Ecowud) is a sustainable goal-oriented company that develops, manufactures, and sells plywood made from rice husk and plastic waste. The company has a wide customer base, including construction companies and furniture manufacturers across Ghana and West Africa.

You are the Audit Manager of Adomako & Associates and are planning the audit of Ecowud for the year ended 31 December 2023. You and the Audit Engagement Partner attended a planning meeting with Ecowud’s Finance Manager.

You are reviewing the initial meeting notes to develop the audit strategy and plan. The following key matters were captured:

  1. Development Expenditure: Revenue for the year was forecast at GH¢32 million. During the year, Ecowud spent GH¢3.5 million on developing new types of plywood. Some of these are in the early stages of development, while others are nearing completion. The Finance Manager intends to capitalize the entire GH¢3.5 million spent on development since all projects are likely to succeed.

  2. Inventory Valuation: Ecowud uses a standard costing method to value inventory. However, the company has never updated its standard costs since adopting this policy. The company operates multiple warehouses in Ghana and across West Africa, most of which are third-party rented premises.

  3. Accounting Software: A new accounting software was developed internally and implemented in August. The old and new software did not run parallel, as management deemed it burdensome. Two months after implementation, the IT Manager resigned, and a new IT Manager will take over in January 2024.

  4. Long-term Loan and Share Capital: Ecowud restructured its finances, raising GH¢2 million through share issuance and GH¢3.5 million through a long-term loan. The loan has bank-imposed financial conditions, including a minimum total asset level. If breached, the loan becomes immediately repayable.

  5. Revaluation of Land & Buildings: Ecowud follows a revaluation model for land and buildings. The Finance Manager has announced that all land and buildings will be revalued at the year-end.

Required:
Identify FIVE audit risks in relation to Ecowud Co. LTD and for each risk, explain how the auditor should respond.

CR – Nov 2014 – L3 – SB – Q2c – Revenue Recognition (IFRS 15)

Assess revenue recognition change for NIXAQ sales under IFRS 15 and calculate total revenue for the year.

Maidogo Limited sells NIXAQ, a product manufactured by it, from several retail outlets. In previous years, the company has undertaken responsibility for fitting the product in customers’ premises. Customers pay for the product at the time they are ordered. The average length of time it takes from ordering to its fitting is 14 days. In previous years, Maidogo Limited had not recognised a sale in its books until the product had been successfully fitted because the rectification costs of any fitting error would be expensive.
With effect from 1 April, 2013, Maidogo Limited changed its method of trading by sub-contracting the fitting to approved contractors. Under this policy, the sub-contractors are paid by Maidogo Limited, and they (the sub-contractors) are liable for any errors made in the fitting. Consequently, Maidogo Limited is proposing to recognise sales when customers order and pay for the goods rather than when they have been fitted. Details of the relevant sales figures are:

Sales Figures Amount (N’000)
Sales made in retail outlets for the year to 31 March 2014 69,000
Sales value of NIXAQ fitted in the 14 days to 14 April 2013 3,600
Sales value of NIXAQ fitted in the 14 days to 14 April 2014 4,800

Note: The sales value of NIXAQ in the 14 days to 14 April 2013 are not included in the annual sales figure of N69million, but those for 14 April 2014 are included.

Required:
Discuss whether or not the above represents a change of accounting policy, and calculate the amount that you would include in the revenue for NIXAQ in the year to 31 March 2014. (6 Marks)

AAA – Nov 2013 – L3 – SB – Q3 – Audit of Specialized Industries

Identify seven key audit concerns in the extractive industry, focusing on labor issues, community impact, and compliance with regulations.

XYL Limited has been granted a license to operate in the extractive industry in the middle belt of the country, where there is an abundant mineral resource called Topaz. This mineral is in great demand in the manufacturing industries of Western Europe.

Due to the need for heavy equipment requiring intensive capital outlay, indigenous companies could not invest in the sector. Moreover, the technical expertise required in mining this product is not locally available.

The company was not only granted the license but also granted a pioneer status. The local community where operations take place supply the necessary labor, both skilled and unskilled. After a year, the workers’ union found out that they were paid far less than what the company is paying in similar operations in nearby countries. As a result of labor union activities, many workers were retrenched, and the company started making use of locals who had just completed secondary school education. Union activities were proscribed.

Being an extractive industry, the local people were affected as they could no longer carry out their economic activities as before.

Your firm has just been appointed as auditors of XYL Limited after three years of operation.

You are required to:

Explain SEVEN areas of concern that would be of interest to you as auditor and provide reasons for their importance. (15 Marks)

CR – May 2023 – L3 – Q5b – Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1)

Discuss the importance of optimal disclosure and barriers to reducing excessive disclosures in annual reports.

There have been various arguments globally about the extent of disclosures in the annual reports of companies. Some argue that annual reports should include more extensive disclosures, while others believe that efforts should focus on reducing the quantity of information to avoid overwhelming users of financial statements.

The latter perspective suggests that excessive disclosure is burdensome and may obscure key information. Conversely, some argue that there is no such thing as providing too much useful information to users of financial statements.

Required:

Discuss why it is important to ensure that an optimal level of disclosure is made in annual reports. Also, identify and explain the barriers that may exist when trying to reduce excessive disclosure of information in an annual report. (7 Marks)
