AAA – May 2016 – L3 – Q6 – Audit Reporting

Discuss audit work and written representation letter for legal claims, outstanding balances, and investments.

Bob Removals Limited is a removals company. In the year ended December 31, 2015, the company made a trading profit of N800,000. You are the manager in charge of the audit.
The following issues have arisen:

(i) A customer is suing the company for N1 million for damage caused to antique furniture. The company is defending the claim and believes that the furniture was a reproduction as opposed to antique and therefore worth only N100,000.
(ii) A balance due from Safe Storage in respect of sub-contract work, of N300,000, has been outstanding for over six months. Your firm has been asked by Bob Removals’ accountant not to write to Safe Storage for direct confirmation of this amount as the latter company objects to such letters. You have been assured by the accountant that the relationship between the two companies is good and that the outstanding balance will be paid.
(iii) Bob Removals has recently invested in four new removal vans and is currently carrying out extensive refurbishment of its premises. As a result of this expenditure, the company has reached its overdraft limit of N500,000.

Required:

For each of the above issues:
a. State, with reasons, the audit work that you would expect to find when undertaking your review of the audit working papers for the year ended December 31, 2015.
b. Draft the relevant sections dealing with these issues of the written representation letter you would wish the directors to sign.

AAA – May 2016 – L3 – Q4 – Audit Reporting

Review the suitability of proposed audit opinions for four audit clients and suggest necessary modifications.

You are the manager responsible for four audit clients of Globe & Co, a firm of Chartered Accountants. The year-end in each case is June 30, 2015.
You are currently reviewing the audit working paper files and the audit seniors’ recommendations for the auditors’ reports. Details are as follows:

a. Red Co. Limited is a subsidiary of Yellow Holdings Plc. Serious going concern problems have been noted during this year’s audit. Red will be unable to trade for the foreseeable future unless it continues to receive financial support from the parent company. Red has received a letter of support (‘comfort letter’) from Yellow Holdings Plc.
The audit senior has suggested that due to the seriousness of the situation, the audit opinion must at least be qualified ‘except for’. (5 Marks)

b. Edo Co Plc has changed its accounting policy for goodwill during the year from amortisation over its estimated useful life to annual impairment testing. No disclosure of this change has been given in the financial statements. The carrying amount of goodwill in the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2015, is the same as at June 30, 2014, as management’s impairment test shows that it is not impaired.
The audit senior has concluded that a modification to the opinion is not required but suggests that attention can be drawn to the change by way of an emphasis of matter paragraph. (6 Marks)

c. The directors’ report of Prompt Co Limited states that investment property rental forms a major part of revenue. However, a note to the financial statements shows that property rental represents only 1.6% of total revenue for the year. The audit senior is satisfied that the revenue figures are correct.
The audit senior has noted that an unmodified opinion should be given as the audit opinion does not extend to the directors’ report. (4 Marks)

d. Audit work on the after-date bank transactions of Twinkle Co Limited has identified a transfer of cash from Star Co. Limited. The audit senior assigned to the audit of Twinkle has documented that Twinkle’s finance director explained that Star commenced trading on July 20, 2015, after being set up as a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of Twinkle.
The audit senior has noted that although no other evidence has been obtained, an unmodified opinion is appropriate because the matter does not impact on the current year’s financial statements. (5 Marks)

Required:
For each situation, comment on the suitability or otherwise of the audit senior’s proposals for the auditors’ reports. Where you disagree, indicate what audit report modification (if any) should be given instead.

AAA – May 2019 – L3 – Q6 – Audit Reporting

Assess the impact of lost audit journals, actions required under ISA 570, and communication duties of auditors.

During the recent audit of Ogundu Commercial Limited, a privately owned trading company, you discovered that the former chief accountant resigned immediately after the conclusion and approval of the previous audited financial statements. The new chief accountant came in during the month of May and was working at familiarizing himself with the systems and financial operations of the company; and also ensuring that the accounting records are ready for the board of directors’ quarterly meetings and finalizing the accounts for the next audit.

Due to the pressure of work, the chief accountant lost part of the journals raised by the previous auditors but proceeded to finalize the accounts. This resulted in least expected financial performance for the year. The previous auditor is a sole practitioner and is now deceased.

The directors are concerned because the financial statements would be used to seek facilities from banks. The success or otherwise of the facility will impact the operations of the company and may lead to a reduction in both operation and staff engagement.

Required:
a. Evaluate the effect of the loss of the audit journals on the financial statements and the factors you would consider, as auditors, in drafting your report. (5 Marks)
b. In accordance with ISA 570, evaluate the actions required of the auditors in relation to the observed misstatement. (5 Marks)
c. Discuss the content of the communication expected of the auditors to the client before and after the audit, other than the auditors’ report. (5 Marks)

Evaluate criteria and communication of Key Audit Matters, including actions if none exist.

Romeo and Juliet Plc is an indigenous company incorporated on March 5, 2012. The entity operates in the oil sector of the economy, which has experienced severe income decline over the past years. The global oil prices hit a record low of about $28 per barrel in 2019 and 2020, further plunging the company and the industry into a downward slide in income generation. The company is also affected by foreign exchange difficulties faced by most companies in the country resulting from increased regulation of foreign exchange. Regular cases of oil theft, pipeline vandalism, and insecurity have also affected the operations of major international oil companies, which are the entity’s major customers. As a result of the above, the company recorded the following in its books of account:

  1. Financial losses: The company has made consistent losses from the financial year ended December 31, 2017, to date.
  2. Current liability position: The company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets.
  3. Negative net operating cash position: The company has maintained a negative net operating cash position from December 31, 2017, to date.

Furthermore, the company’s performance has worsened as a result of a decrease in sales and an increase in expenses.

The largest proportion of the current liabilities is the intercompany borrowings, which accounted for 62% (2020 – 45%) of the total current liability balance. The borrowings stood at N1.5 billion, N1.6 billion, and N2 billion for the financial years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. The finance costs in relation to the borrowings stood at N230 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 (2020- N214 million).

The company has currently defaulted on a number of its contractual obligations with its directors, and there was no directors’ remuneration in the current year due to its continuous loss-making position.

At the pre-audit meeting with management of Romeo and Juliet Plc, your firm (the auditors) were informed that, in the year, the company was involved in a business combination with another oil company. To pay for the cost of acquisition, an additional intercompany loan was obtained because of the poor financial position of the company. In addition, the company’s major investment in an associated company was disposed of. The business acquisition proposal has all necessary regulatory approvals. It was approved at the meeting of the directors and annual general meeting of the company in the previous year and disclosed in the company’s prior year financial statements as business matters.

After the meeting with management, you have started the preparation for the year-end audit, and in compliance with regulatory requirements and auditing standards, a Key Audit Matter should be inserted on the opinion page.

Required:

(a) Evaluate the criteria that will help the engagement team determine what qualifies as a matter requiring significant auditor’s attention and can be classified as a Key Audit Matter. (8 Marks)

(b) Discuss the factors that will determine matters of most significance to be communicated to those charged with governance. (10 Marks)

(c) Discuss the criteria for what must be included in the description of a Key Audit Matter on the audit opinion. (6 Marks)

(d) Evaluate what should be done, assuming that you have determined that there are no Key Audit Matters to be reported in the above scenario. (6 Marks)
