AAA – Nov 2021 – L3 – Q1 – Overview of Advanced Audit and Assurance

Evaluate auditor's objectives under ISA 250, internal control deficiencies, and communication requirements for audit strategy.

Eat Well Bakeries is a private limited liability company. It bakes bread and other confectioneries, produced from the main bakery and a smaller bakery in another part of town. Products are sold from these two bakeries and five additional outlets in the same town. Distributors purchase products outright and bear the risk of sale.

The main administrative and management functions of the bakeries are conducted from the main bakery, while basic records are kept at the small bakery and sales outlets. These records are transmitted to the main office every morning. Detailed accounting records and performance analysis are handled in the main administrative office.

Despite being a private business, the chairman insists on maintaining proper standards to stay competitive. The chairman transferred the company’s audit to your firm after a discussion with your partner, and professional clearance was obtained. However, limited documentation from the predecessor auditor was available, and no extensive documentation was done at the beginning of the audit.

You have been assigned to continue the audit from where it was left off, ensuring the chairman’s expectations are met.

Required:

a. Evaluate the Auditor’s objective concerning ISA 250 that would be discussed with the chairman. (5 Marks)

b. Prepare an outline of matters that should be communicated. (5 Marks)

c. Your review shows internal control challenges. Based on this, prepare a brief on:

  • i. The meaning of deficiency as per ISA 265 (3 Marks)
  • ii. The components to be included in communication to the chairman regarding deficiencies (5 Marks)

d. Evaluate potential audit strategies, and recommend an appropriate model for application to Eat Well Bakeries. (12 Marks)

The new value of the buildings affected and shown in the note above as available from market survey had actually grown to ₦8.5 million within the period under review.
