TAX – Nov 2021 – L2 – Q7 – Tax Administration

Explanation of five different aspects of tax administration that TAXPRO MAX can handle.

Tago Nigeria Limited was incorporated in 2009 as a trading company. It supplies
office furniture, equipment and other office materials to end users.

Due to the favourable business climate in recent years, the company achieved a
gross turnover of N120,000,000 in 2020. The directors were impressed by the profits
posted by the company, hence the decision to computerise the accounting system of
the company.
You were appointed the tax consultant to the company in 2018. You are aware that
in 2006, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) deployed the first tax portal
(Webportal) to automate and streamline taxpayer‟s registration and other tax
administration system (ITAS) known as SIGTAS. This was implemented though its
deployment was stalled.

Following the enactment of the Finance Act, 2020, the Federal Inland Revenue
Service is empowered to automate filing of tax returns and payment processes.
You attended a seminar organised by the Federal Inland Revenue Service in June
2021, to inform tax consultants of the adoption of a locally developed tax
management solution known as TAXPRO MAX. The FIRS insisted that manual filings
of tax returns would no longer be allowed.
At a meeting held with the Managing Director of Tago Nigeria Limited, you intimated
him of the tax development. He was worried that there could be a delay in filing of
tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2020, more so when taxpayers are yet to
be fully aware of this new development.

Required

Explain to the management FIVE different aspects of tax administration that the tax management solution known as TAXPRO MAX can handle.

AA – Nov 2021 – L2 – Q1a – Audit Reports

Define Key Audit Matters (KAMs) as per ISA 701 and how they are communicated in the auditor’s report.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To The Members Of Fair Deals Limited (Extract)

Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Goodwill
Goodwill under IFRSs: the company is required to annually test the amount of goodwill for impairment. This annual impairment test was significant to our audit because the balance of N3,024,115 as of December 31, 2020 is material to the financial statements. In addition, management’s assessment process is complex and highly judgmental and is based on assumptions, specifically achieving projected revenue which are affected by expected future market or economic conditions, particularly those in the North East zone.
Our audit procedures included, among others, using a valuation expert to assist us in evaluating the assumptions and methodologies used by the company in particular those relating to the forecast revenue growth and profit margins for domestic wares production. We also focused on the adequacy of the company disclosures about those assumptions to which the outcome of the impairment test is most sensitive, that is, those that have the most significant effect on the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill.

Revenue Recognition
The amount of revenue and profit recognised in the year on the sale of domestic wares and after-market services is dependent on the appropriate assessment of whether or not each long-term after-market contract for services is linked to or separated from the contract for sale of domestic wares. As the commercial arrangements can be complex, significant judgment is applied in selecting the accounting basis in each case. In our view, revenue recognition is significant to our audit as the company might inappropriately account for sales of domestic wares and long-term service agreements as a single arrangement for accounting purposes and this would usually lead to revenue and profit being recognised too early because the margin in the long-term service agreement is usually higher than the margin in the domestic wares sale agreement.
Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement relating to revenue recognition, which was considered to be a significant risk, included:

  • Testing of controls, assisted by our own IT specialists, including, among others, those over: input of individual advertising campaigns’ terms and pricing; comparison of those terms and pricing data against the related overarching contracts with advertising agencies; and linkage to viewer data;
  • Detailed analysis of revenue and the timing of its recognition based on expectations derived from our industry knowledge and external market data, following up variances from our expectations.
