Identify five audit risks for Unity Football Club and explain auditor responses. Describe proof in total calculations for UFC’s ticket sales, loan interest, and payroll expenses. Explain three internal controls for UFC’s club shop or snack bars and their objectives.

You are the senior responsible for planning the audit of Unity Football Club Limited (UFC) for the year ended May 31, 2008.
UFC runs a football club which was promoted to the top division in the league this season. The football season starts on September 1 and ends on May 31 so that the players get a break over the summer months.
UFC own their football stadium which now has the capacity to seat 25,000 people. Of the 25,000 seats, 19,000 are allocated to UFC supporters (home supporters) and are sold to season ticket holders only. The remaining 6,000 tickets are for away supporters and cannot be sold to UFC supporters.
Season tickets cost GH¢260 for adults and GH¢175 for children. Following their recent promotion all the season tickets have been sold this year with 70% of season tickets sold to adults and the remaining 30% to children. Tickets for away supporters are always sold at GH¢20 per ticket regardless of whether the ticket is sold to an adult or a child. On average 50% of away supporter tickets have been sold for each of the 14 home games played at UFC’s stadium during the football season.
UFC’s other revenue streams include the sale of football kits and other memorabilia from the club shop, and food and drink sales from the club snack bars.
Following promotion to the top division, the club added an extra stand to the stadium to increase the seating capacity to the current level of 25,000. Other existing areas of the stadium also underwent maintenance in order to restore them to their original condition. The work was carried out during June and July, 2007 and cost a total of GH¢3,360,000. To finance this UFC took out a GH¢2,900,000 loan on June 1, 2007.
The loan carries an interest rate of 7% and is repayable over the next five years. The loan is secured on the stadium.
The directors feel that the club’s greatest assets (other than the stadium) are the football players themselves. The players have performed so well this year that some of the other football clubs in the same division have made preliminary offers to buy three of UFC’s players. UFC is particularly pleased about this as these players joined the club through their youth academy programme. Consequently the directors would like to value these three players as intangible non-current assets in UFC’s financial statements. The players will be valued at the offer price received from the other clubs. The directors feel this is a prudent valuation because they are confident that the eventual selling price would be much higher than the preliminary offer.
One of the major drawbacks of the club’s promotion has been that the club has had to increase the level of players’ salaries. The total salary expense for the year is estimated to be in the region of GH¢2,800,000. This is a particularly surprising figure as it is higher than the other operating costs for the year which are estimated at GH¢2,400,000.
UFC has just appointed a team of internal auditors. They have not been in position long enough to help you with your audit work but the directors are keen for the internal auditors to improve the company’s internal controls in relation to the club shop and snack bars.

Required:
(a) Using the information provided, describe FIVE (5) audit risks and explain the auditor’s response to each risk in planning the audit of UFC.

(b) Describe how the auditor could perform a proof in total calculation to confirm each of UFC’s revenue from ticket sales, loan interest and payroll expense for players’ salaries.

(c) Explain THREE (3) internal controls the internal auditors of UFC should implement relating to the club shop or snack bars, and state the objective of each of the three controls.
