Your firm has recently acquired an audit retrieval software package with the following capabilities: 1. General: • Mathematical (Multiply, divide, add, deduct and summarize). • Direct data access.

Question two 2. Specific: • Sorting out records. • Stratification of population • Frequency of analysis. • Statistical sampling • Greater then/less than selection • Comparison with a norm. • Identifying duplications • Matching. • Comparison

Question two Reporting (including graphics). The company utilizes a computerized system to record and process all transactions relating to its lease portfolio. The system incorporates a database in which all the lease agreement details and rentals received are recorded. The system contains the following fields: • Current monthly rental. • Lease agreement number. • Description of premises. • Names of landlords. • Names of tenants. • Lease commencement date. Lease period. • Initial rent. • Escalation percentages. • Total outstanding rent receivable.

(b) Describe how the audit retrieval software package could be used to achieve the objectives detailed in (a) above.

Answers (A) The following are the objectives: i) To establish whether input data is validated and edited as close to the point of origination as possible. ii) To ensure that the growth date and percentages are reasonable iii) To identify any duplications or unreasonable items that may have occurred during processing iv) To ensure that the calculated amounts as reflected in the system are reasonable v) To ensure that all documents produced by the system are accounted for, to the invoices on the rent due for collection.

Question three For many years the law had adopted an approach whereby no action for negligence could be brought if the parties concerned had no contractual relationship with each other, unless the negligent act caused physical injury or was fraudulent misrepresentation. Thus, the auditor had a contractual relationship with his client or clients’ shareholders only and owed a duty of care to them alone. However, the courts have increasingly sought to extend the liability of the auditor to other (even potential) users of financial statements. The view of the judiciary appears to be that the time is ripe for the auditing profession to assume a greater responsibility for its actions.

Question three A) Explain how the auditor can ensure that the risk attaching to an audit is reduced to a minimum. Ans (A) (i) Dispatch notes should be pre-numbered and a register kept of them to relate to sales invoices and orders. (ii) Goods dispatch notes should be authorized as goods leave and checked periodically to ensure they are complete and that all have been invoiced.

CHAPTER Two QUIZ 1. Define risk assessment. 2. What are the possible indicators of irregularities during auditing? 3. As described in ISA 200, what are the Objectives and General Principles Governing an .Audit of Financial Statements? 4. What are the stages in system development?

ANSWERS ANS 3. The objective of an audit of financial statements is to enable the auditor to express an opinion whether the financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an identified financial reporting framework. An audit conducted in accordance with ISAs is designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements taken as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. The fact that an audit is carried out may act as a deterrent, but the auditor is not and cannot be held responsible for the prevention of fraud and error.

Question two You are the auditor of Fixit Ltd. The company consists of a head office and a chain of 200 shoe repair and key-cutting kiosks. These kiosks are located in supermarkets and shopping centers and each is run by a single staff member who repairs shoes and cuts keys while customers wait. In an attempt to increase turnover, Fixit Ltd recently advertised that all workmanship in the kiosks would be guaranteed for three months. However, this additional service has not resulted in the expected additional sales. Management believes incremental revenue is being misappropriated by certain kiosk operators.

Question two In addition, it has come to your attention that various components, namely heels, soles and keys are being removed from kiosks by certain operators and sold to competitors. Instances have also been found where operators regularly repair shoes for friends without charging them.

Required: Detail the internal control procedure you would expect to find that would provide adequate control over: (a) Cash sales (b) Stock

Answers A) STOCK SYSTEM Stocks may be as susceptible to irregularities as cash and, indeed, in some circumstances the risks of loss may be materially higher.

The stock control procedures should ensure that stocks held are adequately protected against loss or misuse, and are properly applied in the operations of the business. Stock should be duly accounted for by appropriate recording and authorization of all movements.
