OVERVIEW OF THE
1 AUDIT PROCESS
1-1. Auditor’s reports are important to users of financial statements because they
inform users of the auditor’s opinion as to whether or not the statements are fairly
stated or whether no conclusion can be made with regard to the fairness of their
presentation. Users especially look for any deviation from the wording of the
standard unqualified report and the reasons and implications of such deviations.
1-3. The scope paragraph tells what the auditor did, and whether or not the
examination was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards (GAAS). The opinion paragraph tells what the auditor found, and
whether or not the financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) in all material respects.
1-4. An engagement letter is the agreement or understanding between the CPA and
his/her client concerning the nature of the engagement. It provides protection for
the CPA in the event of subsequent legal action alleging negligence or breach of
contract. By committing the agreement to writing, the engagement letter also
minimizes future misunderstandings between the CPA and client concerning the
services to be performed by the CPA.
1-5. The audit program is an important part of the systematic approach to auditing, and
demonstrates that the audit was properly planned.
1-6. The pre-audit conference should be attended by all members of the audit team,
including the partner in charge of the examination. The conference should cover
the following areas:
a. Nature of the client’s activities;
b. General nature of the client’s system of internal control;
c. Unique accounting practices;
d. Duties of individual audit team members; and
e. Known areas of high audit risk.
1-2 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
1-7. The main feature distinguishing the interim audit phase from the final audit phase
is the focal point. In the interim audit, the primary focus is on testing the client’s
internal controls as a means for further reduction of assessed control risk. In the
final audit, the auditor is primarily concerned with the examination of transactions
and balances.
1-8. The accuracy of transactions and balances is a function of the reliability of the
information system. An effective control environment, accounting system, and
control activities (the information system), together with a system of monitoring
such that controls adapt to a changing environment, serves to produce accurate
financial data. Weak controls are more likely to produce inaccurate financial data.
By first testing the information system, the auditor is able to increase or decrease
the nature, timing, and extent of transaction and balance testing according to
his/her assessment of control risk.
1-9. The ten generally accepted auditing standards, along with the related statements
on auditing standards, provide a framework by defining the requisite quality to be
achieved in performing an audit.
1-11. In planning an audit, an auditor must be familiar with the client’s industry,
business activities, accounting system, and policies and procedures. Once the
assertions to be tested have been identified, the auditor must assess the risk of
their being misstated. Auditors must be reasonably sure of issuing an appropriate
opinion. Hence, they must consider the risk of misstatements and the various
procedures available for gathering audit evidence as a basis for forming an
opinion. Audit planning includes designing the specific procedures to be
performed and assigning personnel to work on the audit.
The audit report indicates that auditors conduct audits in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards. Further, the report communicates the role
of risk in the audit process by stating that those standards require auditors to plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about (not to prove) whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Hence, an audit involves risk. Finally, auditors express an
opinion, not a guarantee. However, they believe that their audit provides a
reasonable basis for their opinion.
Overview of the Audit Process 1-3
1-12. Auditing standards indicate that auditors should report major issues discussed with
the entity’s management prior to being retained as auditor, including discussions
regarding the application of accounting principles and auditing standards.
Discussion of such matters may place pressure on the auditor to yield to
management’s view. Making the audit committee members aware of such matters
should enable them to better monitor the auditor’s independence. Standards do
not preclude clients from making suggestions about audit staff. Clients frequently
make requests to have persons on the audit who have experience in the industry.
If a client requests that minority persons not be assigned to an audit, however, the
auditor must carefully consider the ethical implications of that request.
1-13. Auditing standards require auditors associated with financial statements to issue a
report on them. An auditor is associated with financial statements when he or she
(a) “has consented to the use of his [her] name in a report, document, or written
communication containing the statements,” or (b) has prepared or assisted in
preparing the financial statements. An auditor who prepares or assists in
preparing financial statements is associated even if his or her name is not included
with the statements. Typing the financial statements on plain paper rather than on
the auditor’s letterhead therefore cannot be used to avoid association and the
requirement to issue a report.
1-15. Auditing standards require the auditor to disclose the effects of deviations from
GAAP on the financial statements. As a result, clients often choose to adjust the
financial statements for the deviations.
1-16. An auditor may not offer reasons for the lack of independence since such
explanations might mitigate the lack of independence in the view of the reader.
CHAPTER
2 AUDIT PLANNING
2-1. Audit risk: The risk that the auditor may unknowingly fail to appropriately
modify his/her opinion of financial statements that are materially misstated.
Inherent risk: Relates to the susceptibility of an account balance or class of
transactions to error that could be material. . .assuming that there were no related
internal controls.
Control risk: The risk that material errors or irregularities are not prevented or
detected by the system of internal control.
Detection risk: The risk that errors or irregularities which are not prevented or
detected by the system of internal control, are not detected by the independent
auditor.
2-2. Study of the business and industry, and application of analytical procedures during
the planning stage of the audit assist in evaluating inherent risk. These procedures
may permit the auditor to assess inherent risk below the initial 100% assumed
level.
Audit risk (AR) = Inherent risk (IR) x Control risk (CR) x Detection risk (DR)
b. The audit risk model is useful in managing audit risk for assertions. By
determining planned audit risk for an assertion, assessing inherent and control
risks, an auditor can determine the allowable detection risk (the amount of
2-2 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
detection risk an auditor can allow) for an assertion. Allowable detection risk
is used to determine the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures for the
assertion.
2-5. The amount of audit evidence an auditor must gather varies inversely with
allowable detection risk. As allowable detection risk decreases, the amount of
evidence required increases, and vice versa. Chapter 2 introduces audit
procedures and discusses how auditors modify audit procedures to obtain
sufficient competent evidential matter by changing (1) the nature, (2) the timing,
or (3) the extent of procedures.
In the third situation, the auditor does not have to accumulate any evidence
because inherent risk and control risk give the appropriate level of planned
audit risk.
2-11. a. 1. Audit risk is the risk that the auditor may unknowingly fail to
appropriately modify an opinion on financial statements that are
materially misstated.
Detection risk is the risk that an auditor’s procedures will lead the auditor
to conclude that error in an account balance or class of transactions that
could be material, when aggregated with error in other balances or
classes, does not exist, when in fact such error does exist.
3. Inherent risk and control risk differ from detection risk in that they exist
independently of the audit of financial statements, whereas detection risk
relates to the auditor’s procedures and can be changed at the auditor’s
discretion. Detection risk should bear an inverse relationship to inherent
and control risk. The less inherent and control risk the auditor believes
exists, the greater the acceptable detection risk.
2-12. The primary issue raised here is how friendly an auditor should be with client
personnel. This situation is especially interesting in light of the auditor’s view of
the relationship prior to being assigned significant responsibility. The issue is
whether Josie is trying to become friendly in order to try to manipulate the
auditor’s decisions.
CHAPTER
AUDIT OF THE REVENUE AND COLLECTION
3 CYCLE: TESTS OF CONTROLS AND
SUBSTANTIVE TESTS OF TRANSACTIONS
3-1. Directly. Higher levels of control risk induce auditors to audit larger samples of
receivables, with confirmation date closer to the fiscal year end date. As for
nature of the procedures: higher levels of control risk induce auditors to use
positive confirmations instead of negative confirmations, and to consider
vouching subsequent payments by the customers.
3-2. The features of a cash receipts internal control system which would be expected to
prevent an employee from absconding with company funds and covering with
funds from the employee pension fund is the prohibition against one employee
having custody of company funds and noncompany funds. The auditor can detect
such transfers by controlling and counting both funds simultaneously.
To prevent the cash receipts journal and recorded cash sales from reflecting more
than the amount shown on the daily deposit slip, the internal control system
should provide that receipts be recorded daily and intact. A careful bank
reconciliation by an independent person could detect such errors.
3-3. A strength is defined as a control procedure that can detect, prevent or correct
errors in a timely matter from entering into the accounting records that form the
basis of financial statements. A weakness is the lack of a control procedure where
the auditor thinks one should exist.
3-4. The evaluation after the review phase was to determine which controls appeared
adequate as a basis for justifying a low control risk assessment. The final
assessment after test of controls auditing is to determine if the controls are
actually operating as well as they appeared to be.
In some entities, when an order is received, the purchase order is sent to the
credit department for approval. The credit department’s decision is returned
to the order entry department. When the credit department has approved the
sale, a multipart sales invoice is prepared. One copy serves as a shipping
order, another as the bill of lading, and another is sent to billing. The sale,
however, is not recorded (entered in the sales journal) until the bill of lading
is received by billing.
b. Before goods are shipped, the customer’s credit must be approved. The credit
department maintains a list of unauthorized customers and their credit limits,
which an employee must review to determine whether to accept an order. A
credit department employee signs a copy of the sales order authorizing the
credit sale. When an order is received from a prospective customer not on the
list or when a customer has exceeded the authorized credit limit, the credit
department generally conducts a credit investigation and makes a decision to
accept or reject the order. When the order is accepted, a copy of the sales
order is sent to the warehouse and a copy is retained in the credit department.
c. On the basis of the sales order approved by the credit department, warehouse
personnel issue goods to the shipping department. The accounting
department, rather than warehouse personnel, maintains perpetual records for
the inventory.
d. The shipping department verifies that the goods received from the warehouse
to be shipped agree with the quantity and description of goods on the sales
order. The shipping department then packs the merchandise, arranges
transportation with a common carrier, and prepares a shipping document.
The shipping document is a multicopy document that lists the items, gives
instructions to the common carrier as to whom and to what the address to ship
the merchandise, and may serve as a packing slip for the merchandise.
Copies of the shipping document are given to the carrier, and copies are sent
to the billing department. Sometimes entities use a bill of lading as a
Audit of the Revenue and Collection Cycle: Tests of Controls and Substantive Tests of Transactions 3-3
shipping document; it may include a general description of the goods and a
quantity or number of pounds.
f. One of the best controls over cash receipts is a lockbox system in which
customers mail their remittances to a post office box controlled by a bank.
The bank’s bonded employees obtain the mail from the post office box, make
a listing of the amount by customer, mail the remittance advices and a copy of
the list to the business, and deposit the cash. When mail containing
remittances comes directly to the entity, the first step in the control process is
to obtain a listing of the cash and checks. This listing is generally prepared
by a receptionist or a mailroom employee designated to open mail. However,
the person should have a high level of integrity and not be otherwise involved
in handling cash or maintaining accounts receivable records. The listing of
cash receipts, referred to as a prelisting, serves to establish control over cash
receipts. Remittance advices are prepared if necessary, and when the listing
3-4 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2062 Edition
has been prepared, the cash and remittance advices are separated. The cash is
given to the cashier to prepare the bank deposit, and the remittance advices
are given to the accounts receivable clerk for preparing the cash receipts
journal and updating the accounts receivable subsidiary records. The
employee preparing the prelisting also develops a total of cash receipts to
send directly to the accounting department supervisor, who maintains control
over the general ledger accounts.
3-6. a. A merchandiser prepares a shipping document that includes the name and
address of the customer and a description of the goods. The document is a
contract between the seller and the carrier and is signed by the carrier when it
accepts the goods. Businesses often use a bill of lading as a shipping
document. The document may be a copy of the invoice or a delivery ticket.
3-7. Managers may experience pressure to show high profits and may inflate sales
because of the pressure to meet target profits established by senior managers, to
obtain bonuses, to retain the respect of senior managers, or even to retain their
jobs.
3-8. Until a record of cash received has been made, removing cash is one of the easiest
forms of fraud to commit and among the hardest to detect because records do not
reflect what has occurred.
3-9. Answers will vary. Three possible examples are the following:
A cashier in a retail establishment who does not ring up a transaction on the
cash register can generally take the cash without detection. Ringing up the
transaction adds the receipt to the total cash receipts, which can be compared
to the cash on hand.
An employee who has access to cash receipts and maintains accounts
receivable records can record a sale at an amount lower than the invoice
amount. When the customer pays, the employee takes the difference between
the invoice and the amount recorded as a receivable.
An employee who makes the cash deposit and also prepares the bank
reconciliation can withhold cash and hide the shortage by overstating deposits
in transit on the bank statement, underfooting the list of outstanding checks,
or omitting outstanding checks from the outstanding check list. Routinely
testing bank reconciliations should uncover this form of fraud.
3-10. Auditors are not required to perform tests of controls. However, when a client has
effective internal control, performing tests of controls is cost effective because it
may provide a basis for the auditor to assess control risk at less than maximum.
Assigning a reduced level of risk to control risk reduces the amount of substantive
testing the auditor must perform. Substantive tests are more expensive to perform
than tests of controls. Hence, auditors perform tests of controls when they believe
it will enable them to reduce the amount of substantive testing. Also, auditors
may perform much of the testing of controls before year end, thus spreading the
audit work.
3-13. Auditors’ primary concern with regard to uncollectible accounts is that accounts
written off have actually become uncollectible, rather than being written off to
cover a misappropriation. To prevent accounts from being written off to cover
misappropriations, any account written off must be authorized by a responsible
official not involved in the granting of credit. The auditor usually tests the
effectiveness of this control by examining the approvals of accounts written off.
For a sample of accounts written off, the auditor generally examines
correspondence indicating that efforts were made to collect the account and that
the account is uncollectible. Sometimes the auditor examines credit reports on the
accounts. The auditor should trace a sample of the entries to the accounts
receivable accounts.
3-14. 1. (c) Mailing monthly statements to customers with outstanding accounts will
detect invoices posted to the wrong accounts. Customers whose accounts
were misposted for goods not ordered will contest the statements.
2. (g) Each shipping document should have a corresponding invoice when the
goods are shipped. The appropriate direction of testing is from the shipping
documents to the sales invoices.
3. (f) Daily sales summaries are from the book of original entry – the sales
journal. Comparing the summaries with the total of invoices will detect
failure to record all invoices.
5. (i) Credit approval should be received before sales are made. Thus, shipping
to customers on an approved list should reduce the risk of sales to customers
with unsatisfactory credit.
8. (l) Comparing sales invoices with shipping documents will ensure that each
invoice is supported by a shipment. Fictitious sales – i.e., those for which no
shipment was made – should be detected.
9. (p) The total receipts credited to customer accounts in the subsidiary ledger
should equal the total receipts deposited, given that daily receipts are
deposited intact.
10. (c) Checks misappropriated (stolen) prior to forwarding to the cashier will
not be posted to customer accounts (assuming that the remittance advices
were stolen as well). Thus, customers will complain when their payments fail
to be reflected in the balances on the monthly statements.
11. (c) Mailing monthly statements to customers with outstanding accounts will
detect receipts posted to the wrong accounts. Customers whose accounts
were misposted will contest the statements.
12. (p) If more than one customer account is credited for the same cash receipt,
the error will be detected when the total of the amounts posted to the accounts
receivable ledger is compared with the total cash receipts.
13. (s) The bank reconciliation will detect errors in recording cash receipts (and
disbursements). The balance in the ledger will not reconcile with the amount
in the bank statement.
14. (p) If the checks are misappropriated (stolen) prior to deposit, the total of the
amounts posted to the accounts receivable ledger will be greater than the
validated bank deposit slip.
15. (n) Invalid sales returns are prevented by requiring approval of returns by the
sales department supervisor.

from taking advantage of discounts when purchasing goods from clients.
However, auditors may follow standards that are more restrictive than the Code of
Ethics. The purpose of this exercise is for students to consider the possibility of
such a discount’s affecting the auditor’s independence. Some auditors would
decide that independence is lost if the discount was equivalent to the discount
given employees. Students should also appreciate that auditors do not necessarily
agree on acceptable behavior in this situation. Some CPA firms impose
restrictions on employees regarding this matter.

AUDIT OF THE EXPENDITURE CYCLE:
4 TESTS OF CONTROLS AND SUBSTANTIVE
TESTS OF TRANSACTIONS - I
4-1. Transactions in the expenditure cycle are recorded in the purchases and cash
payments journal or in the voucher register and the check register. Relevant
accounts are cash; vouchers payable; inventory, property, plant and equipment;
purchases; purchase returns and allowances; purchase discounts; prepaid rent and
other prepaid accounts; and expense accounts.
4-2. Errors that occur in the expenditure cycle include recording purchases in the
wrong period (cutoff errors), recording goods held on consignment as a purchase,
misclassifying purchases, failing to record payments, recording payments twice,
and failing to recognize prepaid expenses. Irregularities often relate to purchases
and include paying for fictitious purchases, purchasing goods for personal use,
and obtaining kickbacks.
4-3. Audit objectives for acquisitions transactions are to verify the following
assertions:
Existence or occurrence: Recorded acquisitions are for items that were
acquired.
Completeness: Acquisitions that occurred are recorded.
Rights and obligations: Recorded acquisitions are the entity’s purchases and
liabilities.
Valuation or allocation: Acquisitions are recorded for the proper amounts.
Presentation and disclosure: Acquisitions are recorded to result in
presentation and disclosure in accordance with GAAP.
4-4. The following misstatements could arise if controls for payments are ineffective:
Existence or occurrence
Unauthorized or inappropriate payments may be made.
Completeness
Checks may be issued and not recorded.
Rights and obligations

a. Those internal accounting control procedures that Long would expect to find if
Maybelle’s system of internal control over purchases is effective are as follows:
Purchase requisitions are prepared and/or approved only after there has been
a proper determination of the need for the goods requested.
One copy of the purchase requisition is maintained on file in the stores
department.
Purchase requisitions are approved by a responsible person in the stores
department. Approval is given only after that person is satisfied that a need
exists and that the requisition is properly prepared. Approval is clearly
indicated on requisitions.
Purchase orders are issued only after they are approved by persons given the
specific responsibility to make such approval.
Vendors are requested to confirm purchase orders. This indicates
acceptance and constitutes a contractual commitment.
Purchase requisitions are filed with purchase orders, and both are maintained
in an orderly file in the purchase office.
Copies of purchase orders sent to the receiving department do not include
the quantities of merchandise ordered.
All purchase orders are numbered, and all numbers are accounted for. This
allows control over purchase orders canceled or rejected by vendors.
Receiving department accepts only those goods for which a purchase order
is on hand.

6-2. Kickbacks, acquisitions of goods for personal use, appropriation of assets, and
processing of fictitious transactions can occur in the acquisition of property, plant,
and equipment, just as they do in the acquisition of goods. Related-party
transactions to acquire investments or property, plant, and equipment may result
in improper valuation of the accounts. Securities may be stolen or diverted.
Typically the general ledger clerk maintains investment records unless the entity
has a large volume of investment transactions.

6-4. The substantive tests, grouped according to the assertions they test, are as follows:
Existence or occurrence: Recorded investments and investment income exist.
Inspect securities on hand and trace to listing.
Confirm securities held by others.
Completeness: All investments and investment income are recorded.
Apply analytical procedures.
Rights and obligations: Investments and investment income are owned by the
entity.
For investments acquired during the period, examine supporting invoices and
paid checks. For dividends, interest, and disposals of investments, examine
remittance advices.
Valuation or allocation: Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and
investments and investment income are mathematically accurate.
Reconcile the investment listing to the subsidiary ledger and general ledger
account.
Recalculate interest revenue and verify dividend income by reference to
published reports of dividends.
Presentation and disclosure: Investments and investment income are presented in
accordance with GAAP.
Review statement presentation for compliance with GAAP.
6-6. The characteristics of the liability accounts that result in a different auditing
approach than followed in the audit of accounts payable are:
1) Relatively few transactions affect the account balances but each transaction
is often highly material in amount.
2) The exclusion of a single transaction could often be material by itself.
3) The relationship between the client entity and the holder of the ownership
document is legal in nature.
4) The liabilities involve accrual and payment of interest as well as debt.
Audit of the Financing and Investing Cycle: Tests of Controls and Substantive Tests of Transactions 6-3
6-7. It is common to audit the balance in notes payable in conjunction with the audit of
interest expense and interest payable because it minimizes the verification time
and reduces the likelihood of overlooking errors in the balance. Once the auditor
is satisfied with the balance in notes payable the related interest rates and due
dates for each note, it is easy to test the accuracy of accrued interest. If the
interest expense for the year is also tested at the same time, the likelihood of
omitting a note from notes payable for which interest has been paid is minimized.
When there are a large number of notes or a large number of transactions during
the year, it is usually too time consuming to completely tie out interest expense as
a part of the audit of the notes payable and related accrued interest. Normally,
however, there are only a few notes and few transactions during the year.
6-8. The most important controls the auditor should be concerned about in the audit of
notes payable are:
1) The proper authorization for the issuance of new notes (or renewals) to ensure
that the company is not being committed to debt arrangements that are not
authorized.
2) Controls over the repayment of principal and interest to ensure that no more is
paid on the note than is required.
3) Proper records and procedures to ensure that all amounts in all transactions
are properly recorded.
4) Periodic independent verification to ensure that all the controls over notes
payable are working.
6-9. Four types of restrictions long-term creditors often put on companies in granting
them a loan are:
1) Financial ratio restrictions
2) Payment of dividends restrictions
3) Operations restrictions
4) Issue of additional debt restrictions
The auditor can find out about these restrictions by examining the loan agreement
and related correspondence associated with the loan, and by confirmation. The
auditor must perform calculations and observe activities to determine whether the
client has observed the restrictions.
6-11. Since it is important to verify that properly authorized dividends have been paid to
owners of stock as of the dividend record date, a comparison of a random sample
of canceled dividend checks to a dividend list prepared by management would be
inadequate. Such an audit step is useless unless the dividend list has first been
verified to include all stockholders of record at the dividend record date. A better
test is to determine the total number of shares outstanding at the dividend date
from the stock registrar and recompute the total dividends that should have been
paid for comparison with the total amount actually paid. A random sample of
canceled checks should then be compared to the independent registrar’s records to
verify that the payments were actually made to valid shareholders.

7-1. The quoted statement is not accurate. In their work on cash, auditors are primarily
concerned with the risk of an overstatement of the cash balance. The listing of a
non-existent or fictitious check on the outstanding list would have the effect of
understating the client’s cash position, because too large an amount for
outstanding checks would be deducted from the balance per bank, resulting in
understatement of the adjusted balance.
The other element of the quoted statement relating to the auditors’ concern over
the possible omission of a deposit in transit is also in error. To omit a deposit in
transit would cause an understatement of the year-end cash balance.
If the quoted statement were revised into acceptable form, it would read along the
following lines: “When auditors are verifying a client’s bank reconciliation, they
are particularly concerned with the possibility that an outstanding check may be
omitted or that a non-existent deposit in transit may be included.
7-2. There is no assurance that the lapping activities of the cashier will be discovered
during the annual audit. Since no shortage exists as of the balance sheet date, the
only procedure which might disclose the irregularities would be a comparison of
the individual checks listed on duplicate deposit tickets with the credits to
customers’ accounts. Since a test of this nature would probably not be made for
more than a small sample of control listings it is likely that the “borrowing” and
subsequent restoration of borrowed funds might go undetected.
The outstanding checks said by the controller to have been distributed after
December 31 should be reversed to the extent that they were actually distributed
after that date. An actual overdraft should be revealed and not eliminated by
improper journal entries. The primary purpose of the reversal is to properly cut
off the cash and show the proper cash balance. Showing the correct cash balance
eliminates “window dressing”; recorded but undistributed checks would distort
the current ratio by reducing both cash and accounts payable.

Bank Reconciliation
November 30, 2006
Tests of transactions for the sales and collection cycle are intended to determine
the effectiveness of internal control structure and to test the substance of the
transactions which are produced by this cycle. Such tests would consist of
examining sales invoices in support of entries in the sales journal, reconciling cash
receipts, or reviewing the approval of credit.
The results of the tests of transactions will be used to affect the procedures,
sample size, timing and particular items selected for the tests of details of financial
balances (i.e., an effective internal control structure will result in reduced testing
when compared to the tests of details required in the case of an inadequate internal
control structure).
8-2. There are two common types of confirmations used for confirming accounts
receivable: “positive” confirmations and “negative” confirmations. A positive
confirmation is a communication addressed to the debtor requesting him to
confirm directly whether the balance as stated on the confirmation request is
correct or incorrect. A negative confirmation is also a communication addressed
to the debtor, but it requests a response only when the debtor disagrees with the
stated amount.
A positive confirmation is more reliable evidence because the auditor can perform
follow-up procedures if a response is not received from the debtor. With a
negative confirmation, failure to reply must be regarded as a correct response even
though the debtor may have ignored the confirmation request.
1. There are a small number of large accounts which account for a significant
portion of total accounts receivable.
2. There are suspected conditions of dispute, inaccuracy, or irregularity. This
would be the case when internal controls are considered inadequate or if
prior year’s audit test results are unsatisfactory.
3. The rules of certain regulatory agencies require them. This is the case for
brokers and dealers in securities.
8-3. It is acceptable to confirm accounts receivable prior to the balance sheet date if the
internal control structure is adequate and can provide reasonable assurance that
sales, cash receipts and other credits are properly recorded between the date of the
confirmation and the end of the accounting period. Other factors the auditor is
likely to consider in making the decision are the materiality of accounts receivable
and the auditor’s experience in prior years. If the decision is made to confirm
accounts receivable prior to year end, it is necessary to test the transactions
occurring between the confirmation date and the balance sheet date by examining
internal documents and performing analytical procedures at year end.
(a) When confirmation requests are mailed to debtors whose accounts were
written off as uncollectible, the auditors’ purpose is to determine that the
receivables were genuine when they were first recorded in the accounts. In
some fraud cases, fictitious accounts receivable have been created to cover up
a shortage. Eventually these fictitious receivables must be disposed of; one
method is to write off the fictitious accounts as uncollectible.
(b) The South executive appears to believe the auditors are solely concerned with
the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable. In fact, the confirmation
process is primarily intended to establish that the receivables are genuine and
that the customers (or makers of notes) exist. Other audit procedures are
followed to determine collectibility.
Substantive Tests of Receivables and Sales 8-3
8-5. The confirmation requests should go to the makers of the notes regardless of
whether the notes have been discounted. The act of discounting a note receivable
does not reduce the importance of the note being genuine and collectible. A
company which discounts its notes receivable remains in a position of sustaining a
loss if the makers of the notes fail to make payment at the maturity dates.
8-6. (a) When customers fail to respond to positive confirmation requests the CPAs
may not assume with confidence that these customers reviewed the requests
and found no disagreement and therefore did not reply. Some busy customers
will not take the time to review confirmation requests and will not respond;
hence, obvious exceptions may exist without being reported to the CPAs.
(b) If there is no response to a second request, the CPAs may mail a third request
and possibly make telephone calls in an effort to get a reply directly from the
customer. When it becomes apparent that the confirmation program will not
produce further evidence, the CPAs should consider each remaining customer
as to the size, nature, and age of the balance and the apparent reason for the
lack of a reply before they decide what additional work is necessary in the
circumstances. The CPAs should carry out the alternative audit procedures of
examining customers’ purchase orders or contracts, shipping documents and
sales invoices of the client, and remittances by nonconfirming customers
received by the client subsequent to the balance sheet date. The auditors may
also verify the existence, location, and credit standings of the nonconfirming
customers by reference to credit agencies or other sources independent of the
client.
No, the matter remains unresolved. First, oral evidence from the client is never in
itself sufficient; the auditors must follow up to determine the reliability of the oral
evidence. Second, payment of an account receivable is not confirmation; the
account might be fictitious, and the “payment” could have been made by a
dishonest employee who had created the fictitious account to conceal a cash
shortage. The auditors must examine the customer purchase order or contract, and
copies of the sales invoice and shipping document, in support of the unconfirmed
receivable. They should also determine the genuineness of the customer by
reference to the telephone directory or to credit agency reports.
2) The workpaper does not state whether the auditor examined the
November 2 credit memo issued to Sari-Sari Store.
3) The workpaper does not state whether the auditor traced the Lucena’s
Meat Market remittance to November cash receipts.
4) The workpaper does not state whether and how the auditor obtained
satisfaction regarding confirmation requests not returned.
5) The workpaper does not state whether the auditor examined
documentation for the Diana’s Supper Club order returned and received
on October 31.
6) Rather than summarizing the confirmations returned without exception,
as was done at the bottom of Working Paper 1, these confirmations
should have been listed separately.

P13,723
AJE 6 P10,777
AJE 6
For all of the exceptions, the auditor is concerned about four principal things.
(a) Whether there is a client error. Many times the confirmation response
differences are due to timing differences for deposits in the mail and
inventory in transit to the customer. Sometimes customers misunderstand the
confirmation or the information requested. The auditor must distinguish
between those and client errors.
(b) The amount of the client error if any.
(c) The cause of the error. It would be intentional, a misunderstanding of the
proper way to record a transaction, or a breakdown of internal control.
(d) Potential errors in the sample not tested. The auditor must estimate the error
in the untested population, based on the results of the tests of the sample.
5. The auditor should first evaluate how long it takes to ship goods to the
customer in question. If it ordinarily takes more than five days, there is no
indication of error.
A comment of this type may indicate that the company may be recording
sales before an actual sale has taken place. The auditor should examine the
invoice and review with the appropriate officials the company’s policies.
Sales, cost of sales, inventories and accounts receivable may have to be
adjusted if title has not passed to the buyer as of December 31, 2005.
6. (a) Determine if such advance payment has been received and that it has
been properly recorded. A review should be made of other advance
payments to ascertain that charges against such advances have been
properly handled.
(b) If the advance payment was to cover these invoices, the auditor should
propose a reclassification of the P1,350, debiting the advance payment
account and crediting accounts receivable--trade.
7. (a) Examine the shipping order for indications that the goods were shipped
and, if available, carrier’s invoice and/or bill of lading for receipt of the
goods.
(b) If it appears that goods were shipped, send all available information to
the customer and ask the customer to reconfirm. If the customer still
insists that goods were never received, all data should be presented to an
appropriate company official for a complete explanation. This may
indicate that accounting for shipments is inadequate and consideration
should be given to reviewing the procedures to determine if
improvements can be made.
(c) If the goods were not shipped, the auditor should recommend an
adjustment reducing sales, cost of sales, and accounts receivable, and
increasing inventories.
8. This should be discussed with the appropriate officials and correspondence
with the customer should be reviewed to allow determination whether an
adjustment should be made in the amount receivable or if an allowance for
doubtful accounts should be set up.
9. As title on any goods shipped on consignment does not pass until those goods
are sold, the sales entry should be reversed, inventory charged, and cost of
sales credited if it is actually a consignment sale. Other so-called sales should
be reviewed and company officials queried to determine if other sales actual
represent consignment shipments; if so, the adjustment set forth in the
preceding sentence should be made for all consignment shipments.
10. This is a noncurrent asset and should be reclassified to either deposit or
prepaid rent. A review of other accounts, especially those with round
numbers, may disclose other accounts that should be so reclassified.
11. This may indicate a misposting of the credit or a delay in posting the credit.

Requirement (1)
(a) Preston’s earnings would have increased (1 – 0.40) P105 million or P63
million in 2006. Net accounts receivable and total assets would have been
P105 million higher than actually reported in 2006. Ignoring differences
between tax and financial reporting, income tax payable would have
increased by P0.40 (P105 million) or P42 million, and retained earnings
Substantive Tests of Receivables and Sales 8-17
would be greater by P63 million. This example illustrates the material effect
estimated bad debts can have on reported earnings and total assets.
(b) Under the allowance method, failure to write off an account has no effect on
earnings (assuming a sufficient balance exists in the allowance account), or
any net balances in the balance sheet. Only the components of net accounts
receivable would be affected. Both gross accounts receivable and the
allowance for doubtful accounts would be overstated P0.6 million.

Requirement (3)
(a) The ratio of bad debt expense to operating revenue for the two years is: 2006,
P105/P3,729 = 2.8%; 2005, P81/P3,534 = 2.3%. This ratio appears relatively
stable although is increasing.
(c) Bad debt expense is considerably higher than the write-offs in 2006. The
firm has experienced an increase in expected write-offs. Apparently the firm
expects an increase in bad debts, which is partially an estimate of future
write-offs.

1. d. The Josefina note is a short-term note and is reported at face value
although the note can be recorded at present value. The Nicole note is
reported at present value: [(P20,000 + 5(0.3) (P20,000)] (PV1, 8%, 5) =
P23,000 (0.68058) = P15,653
2. c. The annual payment is computed as: P10,000 (PVA, 8%, 5) = P10,000 /

Income Statement Effect
For the Year Ended December 31, 2005
9-2. During an audit of a manufacturing company, the auditors review the cost system
for the following purposes:
(1) To determine that costs are properly allocated to current and future periods
and hence that cost figures used in arriving at balance sheet and income
statement amounts are supported by internal records.
(2) To obtain assurance that the cost system, as an integral part of the system of
internal control, provides proper accounting control over costs incurred and
related inventories.
(3) To ascertain, as a service to management, that the cost system is economical
and effectively provides information for reducing or controlling costs and for
determining the cost and profitability of products, and other related data
necessary for informed managerial decisions.
9-3. The auditors make test counts of inventory quantities during their observation of
the taking of the physical inventory to ascertain that an accurate count is being
made by the individuals taking the inventory. The extent of test counting will be
determined by the inventory-taking procedures; for example, the number of the
auditors’ test counts would be reduced if there were two teams, one verifying the
other, taking the inventory. On the other hand, the auditors’ test counts would be
expended if they found errors in the inventory counts.
9-4. The statement is not true. The auditors’ responsibilities with respect to
inventories include not only quantities and pricing, but also the quality or
condition of the goods, the accuracy of extensions, footing, and summaries, and
the evaluation of internal control. Weakness in internal control may cause large
9-2 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
losses from excessive stockpiling, obsolescence, inaccurate cost data, and many
other sources, even though the ending inventory is properly counted and priced.
9-5. The independent auditors utilize the client’s backlog of unfilled sales orders in the
determination of net realizable value of finished goods and goods-in-process, and
in the determination of losses, if any, on firm sales commitments for which no
production has yet been undertaken.
Since Beed Company obtained all of its merchandise inventory from the president
of the company in a related-party transaction, the auditors must determine the cost
of the merchandise to the president in his operation of a similar business as a
single proprietor. In this related-party transaction, the auditors must look beyond
form--a total cost of P100,000 for the original stock of merchandise--to substance.
Substantively, the merchandise of Beed Company should be priced, on a specific
identification basis if feasible, at its cost from the suppliers of the sole
proprietorship. Any difference between cost as thus determined and amounts
charged by the president to Beed Company represents unamortized discount on
the notes payable. The entire transaction should be fully disclosed in a note to the
financial statements of Beed Company.
e. (4) f. (2)
9-10. a. Principal problems the auditor will face are related by:
1. Verification of existence of the inventory owned by the company as
against inventory belonging to the customers.
2. Proper valuation since the perpetual inventory records reflect quantities
only.
b. The CPA makes test counts of inventory quantities during observation of the
taking of the physical inventory to become satisfied that an accurate count is
being made by the individuals taking the inventory. The extent of test
counting will be determined by the inventory-taking procedures. For
example, the number of test counts would be reduced if there were two teams
taking the inventory, one checking the other. On the other hand, the CPA’s
test count would be expanded if errors were found in the inventory counts.
Some test counts are recorded by the CPA for the purpose of subsequent
comparison with the client’s compilation of the inventory. The comparison
procedure goes beyond the mere determination that quantities have been
accurately transcribed. In addition, the CPA seeks assurance that the
description and condition of the inventory items are accurate for pricing
purposes and that the quantity information, such as dozen, gross, and cartons,
is proper.
c. 1. The CPA does not regard the inventory certificate of an outside service
company as a satisfactory substitute for his or her own audit of the
inventory. The service company has merely assumed the client’s
function of taking the physical inventory, pricing it, and making the
necessary extensions. To the extent that the service company is
competent, internal control with regard to the inventory has been
strengthened. Nevertheless, as under other strong systems of internal
control, the CPA would investigate the system to become satisfied that it
is operating in a satisfactory manner. The CPA’s investigation would
necessarily entail an observation of the taking of the inventory and
testing the pricing and calculation of the inventory.
9-6 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
However, if the taking of the inventory was not observed and no audit
tests were applied to the computation of the inventory, the CPA would be
compelled to disclaim an opinion on the financial statements as a whole
if the amount of the inventory is material.
9-13. a. For a client to dispose of the chemical compound in a manner that meets legal
requirements is admirable. However, ethical behavior frequently calls for
individual persons and companies to exhibit behavior that exceeds the
minimum standards set by law. Due to the harm to cattle and the pollution
that has resulted. Remote is involved in a matter that entails ethical issues.
b. Most auditors are hesitant to serve as judge and jury for clients on ethical
matters. For example, declining to serve this client probably would not cause
any alteration of its behavior. Further, serving the client does not facilitate
any unethical behavior. Further, serving the client does not facilitate any
unethical behavior. Hence, an auditor might choose to discuss the matter
with the board and encourage them to act as responsible citizens.

10-1. The CPAs would accept a confirmation of the securities on hand from the
custodian in lieu of their personal inspection of the securities after they had
investigated and satisfied themselves as to the standing of the custodian. The
CPAs would probably be satisfied if they found the custodian to be a well-known,
reliable financial institution, completely independent of the client and with
resources substantially larger in amount than the securities of the CPAs’ client that
are on deposit.
10-2. The auditors can make an independent computations of dividends earned during
the year by reference to dividend record books published by investment advisory
services.
10-3. Securities owned by the client may not be on hand at the balance sheet date
because they are held by others for safekeeping, pledged as collateral for loans,
deposited as assurance of performance under contracts, or in the hands of brokers
or others for transfer.
10-4. When the inspection of securities cannot be made for two weeks after the balance
sheet date, the client at the auditors’ suggestion may instruct the bank that the safe
deposit box is not to be opened until the time of the auditors’ inspection. A letter
may be obtained from the bank stating that the box has not been opened between
the balance sheet date and the auditors’ arrival. If the securities are in the client’s
office, it will be necessary to verify any security transactions between the date of
inspection and the balance sheet date and to reconcile the results of the inspection
with the securities owned at the balance sheet date. The count of cash and other
negotiable assets should be coordinated with the inspection of securities.
(2) The bank’s record of persons entering the deposit box should be
examined to determine that only authorized persons have had access to
the box and that there was no entry to the box between December 31 and
January 11. Entry to the box between those dates may be an indication
that a security was returned to safekeeping after being “borrowed” at
year-end. The security may have been “borrowed” and used as collateral
to obtain cash to cover a shortage at December 31.
(3) The assistant should be instructed to insist that the treasurer be present
while the securities are being examined. Most auditors prefer to obtain a
signed statement that all investments inspected were returned at the
completion of the inspection made in the presence of the custodian. In
any event, the working papers should note the date of the inspection and
the name of the witness to the inspection.
(4) The following details of the securities should be examined:
a) The name of the registered owner appearing on each security other
than bearer bonds should be noted to determine that Pink
Corporation is a registered owner and that securities belonging to
another owner have not been substituted.
b) The name of the corporation issuing the security and the class of the
security (Class A, Par Value, 1st Preference, etc.) should be noted
for assurance that a lower priced security (perhaps somewhat similar
in corporate name or a different security of the issuing corporation)
has not been substituted for a higher priced security.
c) The face value of bonds and the number of shares represented by
each share certificate should be compared with the client record to
determine that the entire amount of the corporation’s holdings of
each security is on hand.
d) The serial numbers of the securities should be compared with those
on the record and, for those securities carried over from the prior
year, compared with the serial numbers of securities listed in the
prior year’s working papers. A change in serial numbers that cannot
be properly explained may be an indication of manipulation of the
securities. Verification of serial numbers also helps establish the
cost of securities sold under either the FIFO or specific identification
cost method.
e) The certificates should be read to ascertain the interest rates and
payment dates for bonds and the dividend rates and payment dates, if
given, for preference shares. This information may be used later in
the verification of investment revenue.
f) Bonds should be examined to determine maturity dates. Maturity
dates are needed for verifying the computation of the amortization of
bond premiums or discounts. In addition, the maturity dates will
disclose whether any bonds on hand have matured. The presence of
matured bonds may be a sign of internal control weakness or may
indicate that the bonds are in default.
Substantive Tests of Investments 10-3
g) Coupon bonds should be inspected to determine that no past-due
interest coupons are unclipped and all future interest coupons are
attached. The presence of past-due coupons may be caused by poor
internal control and may indicate an understatement of interest
revenue. On the other hand, past-due coupons may indicate the
interest is in default and that the principal is uncollectible. Missing
future interest coupons may be an indication of an irregularity.
h) The auditors should be alert for any obvious alterations to securities
or forged certificates. Although auditors usually are not held
responsible for the genuineness of the certificates, any apparent
forgeries (or exceptions noted in the foregoing audit procedures)
may point out the need for obtaining confirmations from the
corporations issuing the certificates.
(b) The treasurer’s entry into the safe deposit box on January 4 has violated
the auditors’ control over negotiable assets which must be inspected or
counted simultaneously or kept under control until counted to avoid the
substitution of a counted asset for an uncounted asset in an attempt to
conceal a shortage. The auditors would probably apply the following
additional procedures:
(1) Reconcile bank balances at both year-end and at the date of
inspecting securities.
(2) Obtain a bank confirmation as of the inspection date.
(3) Examine cash journals between year-end and the inspection date for
any unusual entries.
(4) Examine all investment transactions taking place between the
balance sheet date and the inspection date to verify the amount of the
investment at the balance sheet date.
(5) If the client keeps a large fund of cash on hand, make a surprise
count of the cash fund.
(6) Review the transactions since year-end relating to any other
negotiable assets, such as notes receivable, to determine if any
substitutions have been made.
10-6. (a) (4) Having the securities held in safekeeping by a bank provides strong
internal control because the bank has no direct contact with the
employees responsible for maintaining the accounting record of the
securities and that individual has no access to the securities. Thus the
separation of the custody of securities from the accounting function is
complete.
(b) (1) The investment committee of the board of directors is not involved in the
routine of making buy and sell decisions and can therefore review the
transactions objectively. On the other hand, the chief operating officer,
the controller, and the treasurer may be closely associated on a daily
basis with the financial executive responsible for the investment
decisions.

Assuming “other income” is zero, then the entire P74 million for 2006 and the

Maximum amount of dividends that could be received................. P 47 P 43
If dividends were zero, then all of the equity in income of affiliated companies
would be retained. Since the amount actually retained was P27 million, the
amount of other income is P74 million less P27 million, or P47 million.

It appears Del either increased its equity holdings in its affiliated companies, or
made “advances” which had been recorded in the Investments account.
Requirement (3)
Rate of return on average investment in equity-basis companies = P74 / ([P1,332
+ P1,456] / 2) = 0.053%
Requirement (4)
If the investment at equity represents a 50% owned joint venture with no goodwill
or adjustment for book value to fair value of net assets, the total shareholders’
equity (TSE) can be approximated as:
Investment in Affiliate, at equity = 50% x TSE of Affiliate Joint Venture
TSE of Affiliate = P1,456 / 0.50 = P2,912 million.
Knowing the percentage owned allows estimates of the net assets of the equity-
basis companies to be made, assuming there are no adjustments or goodwill
involved.
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of
available-for-sale securities are recorded in an unrealized holding gain or loss
account that is reported as other comprehensive income and as a separate
component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Therefore, the following
adjusting entry should be made at the year-end:
11-2. The auditors must question the service lives adopted by the client for plant assets.
To do otherwise would be to fail in the collection of sufficient competent evidence
for the client’s depreciation policies and procedures.
11-3. The principal objective of the auditors in analyzing a Maintenance and Repairs
expense account is to disclose any capital expenditures which were erroneously
recorded as expense.
11-4. Documentary evidence usually available in the client’s office to substantiate legal
ownership of property, plant, and equipment includes deeds, policies of title
insurance or abstract of title and an attorney’s opinion as to title, property tax bills,
insurance policies, purchase contracts, purchase orders, invoices, and paid checks.
The auditors may also secure written representations from the client as to
ownership of these assets.
11-5. The auditors employ the following substantive tests to detect unrecorded
retirements of property, plant, and equipment:
(a) If major additions of plant and equipment have been made during the year,
ascertain whether old equipment was traded in or superseded by the new
units.
(b) Analyze the Miscellaneous Revenue account to locate any cash proceeds
from sale of plant assets.
11-2 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
(c) If any of the company’s products have been discounted during the year,
investigate the disposition of plant facilities formerly used in manufacturing
such products.
(d) Inquire of executives and supervisors whether any plant assets have been
retired during the year.
(e) Examine retirement work orders or other source documents for authorization
by the appropriate official or committee.
(f) Investigate any reduction of insurance coverage to see whether this was
caused by retirement of plant assets.
(a) This is the first audit of Kris Corporation by Ian and Ronna. Moreover, the
company has not been audited by other public accountants during the two
previous years of operation. Under these circumstances, the auditors must
investigate fully transactions relating to plant and equipment during the two
prior years of the company’s existence, as well as the records of the year
under audit. The adequacy of internal control over plant acquisitions and
disposals would be an important part of this review. Since Kris is a relatively
new company, this study of prior years’ transactions can be completed within
reasonable time limits.
The review of prior years’ transactions relating to plant and equipment would
include analysis of the Repairs and Maintenance expense account and should
bring to light the erroneous treatment of plant acquisitions as revenue
expenditures during Years 1 and 2.
If Ian and Ronna did not investigate the property transactions of the two prior
years and the internal controls in force, there would be no satisfactory support
for the balances of the property accounts at the end of Year 3, or for the
depreciation expense of the year under audit. Remember that one of the
auditors’ basic objectives for plant and equipment is to determine that the
property accounts (including the amounts carried forward from prior years)
are fairly stated.
(b) Both the income statement and the balance sheet prepared at the end of Year
3 would be affected by the errors made in Years 1 and 2. In the balance
sheet, the plant and equipment and also the total assets would be understated
by the undepreciated cost of the assets which were improperly expensed.
Current liabilities and total liabilities would be understated by the additional
income taxes applicable to the understatement of prior periods’ net income
due to the accounting errors. The retained earnings and total shareholders’
equity would be understated by the difference between the understatement of
total assets and the understatement of total liabilities. In the Kris income
statement, depreciation expense would be understated, income taxes expense
overstated, and net income overstated.

12-2. Research and Development Costs vary widely among companies. Many
expenditures do have future worth, while others are so highly uncertain as to
future value that recording them as assets is clearly improper.
The auditor’s interest in auditing Research and Development costs stems from the
objective of determining whether they should be deferred or charged against
current operations. He shall be guided by GAAP in judging whether the client’s
treatment of the Research and Development Costs is justified or not.
The rapid amortization of the leasehold for the first twelve (12) years resulted to
an understatement of income totaling to P60,000:
Correct amortization P450,000 x 12 P270,000
20
Amortization per client (P27,500 x 12) 330,000
Over-amortization P 60,000
In view of the above, the amount of P60,000 should be added back to Retained
Earnings as correction of prior years’ profits. Furthermore, amortization of
P22,500 for the 13th year should be recorded.
These adjustments would result to a net increase in the Retained Earnings balance
which will enable the company to declare dividends without depleting the
Retained Earnings balance significantly.

If the original lease had contained a renewal clause for an additional 20 years, the
depreciation rate would still be 5%, which is based on the original term of the
lease. The renewal of the lease contract is not certain and therefore will not be

Calculation of Goodwill
Supporting Computations:
Requirement (a)
Allocation of the P137,500 cost to the individual assets in the group of assets
acquired is based on the relative fair value of the individual assets.
12-6 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
Journal entries for 2004, 2005 and 2006, relative to intangible assets, are as
follows:
2004
2005
2006
Computations
Amortization for 2006:
Patent A: (P27,192 / 5 years) (6 / 12) P 2,719
Patent B: (P36,256 / 12 years) (6 / 12) 1,511
P 4,230
The cost basis of patent B is P36,256 - P1,511 + P8,800 - P3,546). 2005, a full
year’s amortization is taken by dividing the unamortized cost by the remaining
useful life. In 2006 this is P39,999/10 ½ years or P3,809.
Requirement (b)
The legal costs of a court defense should be charged to expense whether the suit is
won or lost because it does not meet the recognition criteria. Also, the
unsuccessful defense implies that Patent A is of no further value to the company
and leads to the write-off of the remaining unamortized cost of that patent.

Summary:
Requirement (a)
The deficiencies listed below are apparent from the balance sheet and the
explanations given. The assumption is made that costs incurred have been
properly classified by Mr. Balagtas. The correct treatment of each item is
presented in the column on the right.
Requirement (b)
Requirement (a)
Requirement (b)
When a price is paid for a group of assets, the total price must be allocated to the
individual assets. Because we know neither the total fair value of the tangible and
other intangible assets acquired from Rain Company nor the price to be paid by
the Nikko Corporation, we cannot determine whether Nikko Corporation has any
goodwill to record. The total price to be paid by the Nikko Corporation is
indefinite but it may be estimated by discounting the expected receipts (1% of net
sales) at the end of each of the next 5 years and adding the initial P450,000 cash
payment. If the estimated purchase price exceeds the sum of the estimated fair
values of the tangible and other assets purchased, then the excess may be recorded
as goodwill.
Interest on mortgage bonds: An amount equal to the interest cost incurred in 2004
(P60,000) is clearly a cost that can be associated with the normal construction
period and can be regarded as a normal element of the capitalized cost of the
physical assets of the shopping center because the construction period would have
ended at the end of the year if the typhoon had not occurred. The decision to use
debt capital to finance the shopping center was made with full knowledge that
interest would accrue during the construction period and add to the total cost of
building the center and bringing it to the point at which it would produce revenue.
The future income to be generated by the shopping center must have been
estimated to be more than sufficient to recover all of the expected costs of
Substantive Tests of Intangible Assets 12-13
building the center and preparing it for occupancy, including interest during the
construction period.
The extension of the construction period to October 2005 because of the typhoon
was externally imposed and so the interest capitalization period continues until
final construction is complete. That is, the additional interest cost is capitalized
and not expensed as a loss from the typhoon.
Cost of obtaining tenants: Both the 2004 and 2005 costs of obtaining tenants
should be capitalized and amortized over the life of the leases. The fact that all of
the tenants who were signed when the typhoon occurred accepted the October
occupancy date indicates that the total cost of obtaining tenants was not affected
by the delay.
The cost of obtaining tenants has a direct and easily identifiable relationship to the
rental income to be earned over the terms of the leases. Under these
circumstances, the problem of reliably measuring periodic net income is best
solved by matching costs with the revenues to which they are directly related.
The initial expense treatment of the 2004 advertising cost is appropriate because it
is a start-up cost.
The 2005 advertising cost may also be considered as a start-up cost or simply
expensed as advertising cost incurred.

13-1. Rights and obligations are tested by examining the insurance policies and
confirming the policy with insurance carriers. In turn, an auditor tests valuation
by recalculating unexpired premiums through evidence obtained from the prior
year’s unexpired insurance and from current premiums. In addition, to address
clerical accuracy, the auditor reconciles premium payments with cash
disbursements records, and total expense and unexpired premiums with the
general ledger.

CHAPTER
SUBSTANTIVE TESTS OF
14 LIABILITIES
d. Procedures for mailing are substantially the same for accounts receivable and
for accounts payable.
b. For accounts not confirmed, the auditor should substantiate that a shipment
was received by examining the receiving report, the invoice copy, and
subsequent payment if possible.
c. The accounts payable clerk should not routinely perform the reconciliation of
monthly statements to the listing of accounts or vouchers payable. Whether
the accounts payable clerk or another employee performs the activity, the
auditor must substantiate the validity of the explanations.
14-3. a. The accounts payable audit procedures should be directed toward searching
for proper inclusion of all accounts payable (completeness) and ascertaining
that recorded amounts are reasonably stated (valuation), because the primary
audit purpose is to reveal any possible material understatements. The
principal objectives of the accounts payable examination are
to determine the adequacy of internal control for processing and payment
of invoices.
to prove that amounts shown on the balance sheet are in agreement with
supporting accounting records.
to determine that liabilities existing at the balance sheet date have been
recorded.
14-4. a. The fact that the client made a journal entry to record vendors’ invoices that
were received late should simplify the CPA’s test for unrecorded liabilities
and reduce the possibility of the need for a further adjustment, but the CPA’s
test is nevertheless required. Clients normally are expected to make
necessary adjustments to their books so that the CPA can examine statements
that the client believes are complete and correct. If the client has not
journalized late invoices, the CPA is compelled to substantiate what
ultimately will be recorded as an adjusting entry. In this examination, the
CPA should test entries in the 2004 voucher register to ascertain that all items
that – according to dates of receiving reports or vendors’ invoices – were
applicable to 2006 have been included in the journal entry recorded by the
client.
b. No. The CPA should obtain a letter in which responsible executives of the
client’s organization represent that to the best of their knowledge all liabilities
have been recognized. However, this is done as a normal audit procedure to
afford additional assurance to the CPA; it does not eliminate the need to
perform his or her own tests.
14-4 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
e. In addition to the 2007 voucher register, the CPA should consider the
following sources for possible unrecorded liabilities:

Requirement (c)
Typically errors which have an effect on earnings are most important because of
the importance of earnings to users of financial statements. Receiving report
numbers 2633 and 2635 affect earnings. In addition, these errors are more
important because they represent the recording of part of the entry. If they are not
adjusted, the inventory balance the following year will be understated by
P13,667.22 (P5,182.31 + P8,484.91). For the other three items (receiving report
numbers 2632, 2634 and 2637), the error is less important because they would be
recorded the following year and the account balances would then be proper.

Requirement (b)
The following items of information were not used in preparing the current liability
section of the balance sheet:
1. Bonds payable were not included among current liabilities, because they
mature in 2010. Interest accrued on these bonds, however, for the period
January 1 - March 31, 2006 (P4,000,000 x 7% x 1/4 year = P70,000) is
included.
2. Notes payable due after March 31, 2007, totaling P2,400,000, were excluded
because they are not due within the next year.
3. The par and market values of the ordinary shares are not used. These items
would be needed to record the stock dividend, but have no impact on current
liabilities.
Requirement (a)
The following additional information is needed to determine the proper lease
classification as financing or operating:
1. The fair value of the building space as of the date on which the lease
agreement was signed.
2. The initial lease term and whether a bargain purchase or renewal option is
available at the end of the term.
3. The estimated useful life of the property.
4. Whether the quarterly lease payments include provision for executory costs
(insurance, taxes, etc.)
5. Whether the residual value is guaranteed by Pine

Requirement (b)
The following auditing procedures should be applied in gathering the information
meeting the requirements set forth in (a) above:
1. Examine the lease agreement for details surrounding the initial lease term,
payment of executory costs, and the existence of purchase or renewal options.
2. Examine appraisal reports and property tax bills for an indication of fair value
at date of lease.
3. Inquire of management or confirm with lessor as to the estimated useful life
of the property.

(b) Procedures applicable to rights and obligations are (1) make inquiries of legal
counsel, and (2) review articles of incorporation and by-laws.
15-2. In vouching dividend entries, the auditor should (a) establish that preferential or
other rights of shareholders and any restrictions on dividend distributions have
been recognized, (b) establish the number of shares outstanding on the date of
record and verify the accuracy of the total dividend declaration by recalculation,
(c) ascertain the propriety of the entry to record the declaration, and (d) trace
dividend payments to canceled checks and other documentation.
15-3. The procedures consist of: (a) review minutes of board of directors’ meetings and
(b) compare statement presentation with GAAP.
a. (1) Certificates may have been surrendered in exchange for others without
attaching the surrendered certificates to the stub book.
(2) The excess certificates may have been issued under proper authority for
services or for property and not recorded in the financial books.
(3) They may have been issued improperly in exchange for cash, services or
property, or without consideration. The impropriety might result from
oversight or from fraudulent design.
(4) The error may have occurred because an item which should have been
posted to the share capital account was not in fact so posted.
(5) An error may have occurred in entering the number of shares issued on
the certificate stub.
(6) Additional shares may have been issued near the end of 2006 but the cash
received was not recorded until 2007.
15-2 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
b. (1) Make a quick inspection of open stubs to determine whether they provide
a ready clue to the reason for difference, e.g., one certificate issued for
10,000 shares. If so, investigate the facts regarding its issue.
(2) If a quick inspection fails to provide a clue, refer to a list of shareholders
supporting the entries in the cash receipts book for the 72,000 shares
originally sold. Check this list item by item against stubs for shares
originally issued and mark the stubs so checked. Then check returned
certificates attached to stubs against new stubs issued in exchange for
those certificates, marking the new stubs. Prepare a list of unmarked
stubs. This should total 10,000 shares and serve to identify the
outstanding certificates with respect to which shares are not recorded in
the general ledger.
(3) If errors are found in the number of shares issued, as shown by stubs in
the share certificate book after comparison with the cash receipts entries,
it may be necessary to circularize the original shareholders to determine
how many shares were actually issued.
The cash receipts book and general journal for the first few days of
2007 should be examined for entries which may be for shares issued late
in 2006.
(4) If it is found that excess shares have been issued, inquiry should be made
of responsible officers with respect to the circumstances in which they
were issued. The answers obtained should be substantiated by
appropriate evidence, e.g., resolutions of the board, etc.
15-5. The proposal for the limitation of procedure is not justified by the stated facts.
Although the transfer agent and the registrar know the number of shares issued,
they do not necessarily know the number of shares outstanding. Furthermore, the
audit of share capital includes more than determining the number of shares
outstanding. For example, the auditor must determine what authorizations exist
for the issuance of shares, what assets were received in payment of shares, how
the transactions were recorded, and what subscription contracts have been entered
into. Confirmation from the registrar could not help in determining these things.
In addition to confirmation from the registrar, the audit of share capital might
include the following procedures for which the purposes are briefly indicated:
(1) Examine the corporation charter to determine the number of shares authorized
and the special provisions relating to each class of shares if more than one
class is authorized.
(2) Examine minutes of shareholders’ and directors’ meetings to determine
authorization for appointments of the registrar and the transfer agent, and to
determine authorization for the issuance or reacquisition of shares.
(3) Examine provisions relating to share capital in the corporation law of the state
of incorporation to determine any special provisions such as, for example,
those relating to the issuance of no-par shares.
Substantive Tests of Owners’ Equity Accounts 15-3
(4) Analyze the share capital accounts to obtain an orderly picture of share
transactions for use as a guide to other auditing procedures and as a
permanent record.
(5) Trace the consideration received for share capital into the records to
determine what consideration has been received and how it has been
recorded.
(6) Examine and schedule treasury shares and review entries for treasury shares
to determine the existence of treasury shares, as authorized, and to determine
that a proper record has been made.
(7) Review registrar’s invoices and cash disbursements to determine that original
issue taxes have been paid.
(8) Compare dividends with shares outstanding at dividend dates to determine
that dividends have been properly paid and also to substantiate the shares
outstanding.
(9) Review subscription and option contracts, etc., to determine the facts in
regard to subscriptions and options and to determine that these facts have
been properly recorded and that they are adequately disclosed.

to which the funds were put. Setting out the loan in the balance sheet as a
loan from an officer would be sufficient disclosure. The source from which
the officer obtained the funds would not be disclosed because it is the
officer’s personal business and has no effect upon the corporation’s financial
statements. Indeed, disclosure of the funds’ source might be construed as
detrimental to the officer.
3. The additional liability for the ore shipment would have been revealed to the
CPA in his scanning of January transactions. His regular examination of
2001 transactions and related documents such as purchase contracts would
have caused him to note the time for subsequent follow up to determine the
final liability. In addition the client’s letter of representation might have
mentioned the potential liability. The item would not require separate
disclosure by footnote or otherwise and would be handled by adjusting the
financial statement amounts for purchases, ending raw materials inventory,
and accounts payable by the amount of the additional charge, P9,064 {[(72 -
50) / 50] = 0.44; 0.44 x P20,600 = P9,064}.
4. The CPA might learn of the agreement to purchase the treasurer’s stock
ownership through his inquiries of management and legal counsel,
examination of the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors and
stockholders and subsequent reading of the agreement. The absence of the
treasurer might also arouse the CPA’s curiosity. The details of the agreement
would be disclosed in a footnote because the use of company cash for the
repurchase of stock and the change in the amount of stock held by
stockholders might have a heavy impact on subsequent years’ financial
statements. Usually, a management change, such as the treasurer’s
resignation, does not require disclosure in the financial statements. The
details underlying the separation (personal disagreements and divorce) should
not be disclosed because they are personal matters.
Completing the Audit 17-5
5. Through inquiries of management, review of financial statements for January,
scanning of transactions, and observations, the CPA would learn of the
reduced sales and of the strike. Disclosure would not be made in the financial
statements of these conditions because such disclosure might create doubt as
to the reasons therefore and misleading inferences might be drawn.
6. The contract with Lopez Industries would come to the CPA’s attention
through his inquiries of management and legal counsel, his reading of the
minutes of the meetings of the board of directors and stockholders, and his
examination of the contract. All important details of the contract should be
disclosed in a footnote because of the great effect upon the corporation’s
future. The factors contributing to the entry into the contract need not be
disclosed in statements; while they might be of interest to readers, they are by
no means essential to make the statements not misleading.

a
The correct sales tax expense for 2005 is P12,000 (P200,000 x 6%). Since P10,000 was recorded in 2005, the correcting amount is
P2,000. However, this P2,000 would have been recorded by the company in 2006, so the total recorded sales tax expense of
P15,000 includes only P13,000 for sales made in 2006. Therefore the correct balance of P18,000 (P300,000 x 6%) is obtained by a
correcting amount of P5,000. Similarly, in 2007 the P5,000 would have been recorded by the company, so the total recorded sales
tax expense of P26,000 includes only P21,000 for sales made in 2004. Therefore the correct balance of P30,000 (P500,000 x 6%)
is obtained by a correcting amount of P9,000.
b
Since bad debts were written off each year directly to bad debts expense, the increase in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
balance each year represents the additional bad debts expense.
c
The residual value is ignored because it would have been included in the computation of the depreciation on the machine.

Requirement (1)
SFAS No. 13 paragraphs 42 and 43 state that “a change in accounting policy
should be applied retroactively unless the amount of any resulting adjustment that
relates to prior periods is not reasonably determinable. Any resulting adjustment
should be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
Comparative information should be restated unless it is impracticable to do so.
The financial statements, including the comparative information for prior periods,
are presented as if the new accounting policy had always been in use. Therefore,
comparative information is restated in order to reflect the new accounting policy.
The amount of the adjusting relating to periods prior to those included in the
financial statements is adjusted against the opening balance of retained earnings of
the earliest period presented. Any other information with respect to prior periods,
such as historical summaries of financial data, is also restated.”

of Change in Accounting Principle From

For Year Ended December 31, 2007
Although explanations were not required in answering the question, they are
included below for your interest.
Explanations:
1. The net income would be understated in 2005 because interest income is
understated. The net income would be overstated in 2006 because interest
income is overstated. The errors, however, would counterbalance (wash) so
that the Balance Sheet (Retained Earnings) would be correct at the end of
2006.
Comprehensive Audit of Balance Sheet and Income Statement Accounts 19-25
2. The depreciation expense in 2005 should be P1,000 for this machine. Since
the machine was bought on July 1, 2005, only one-half of a year should be
taken in 2005 (P8,000/4 X 1/2 = P1,000). The company expensed P8,000
instead of P1,000 so net income is understated by P7,000 in 2006. An
additional P2,000 of depreciation expense should have been taken in 2006. At
the end of 2006, retained earnings would be understated by P5,000 (P7,000 –
P2,000).
3. PAS 38, paragraphs 54 to 57 govern the accounting for research and
development costs. Net income in 2005 is overstated P22,000 (P33,000
research and development costs capitalized less P11,000 amortized). By the
end of 2006, only P11,000 of the research and development costs would
remain as an asset. Therefore, retained earnings would be overstated by
P11,000 (P33,000 research and development costs – P22,000 amortized).
4. The security deposit should be a long-term asset, called refundable deposits.
The P8,000 of last month’s rent is also an asset, called prepaid rent. The net
income of 2005 is understated by P33,000 (P25,000 + P8,000) because these
amounts were expensed. Retained earnings will continue to be understated by
P33,000 until the last year of the lease. The security deposit will then be
refunded, and the last month’s rent should be expensed.
5. P10,000 or one-third of P30,000 should be reported as income each year. In
2005, P30,000 was reported as income when only P10,000 should have been
reported. Because P20,000 too much was reported, the net income of 2005 is
overstated. At the end of 2006, P20,000 should have been reported as income,
so retained earnings is still overstated by P10,000 (P30,000 – P20,000).
6. The ending inventory would be understated since the merchandise was
omitted. Because ending inventory and net income have a direct relationship,
net income in 2005 would be understated. The ending inventory of 2005
becomes the beginning inventory of 2006. If beginning inventory of 2006 is
understated, then net income of 2006 is overstated (inverse relationship). The
omission in inventory over the two-year period will counterbalance, and
retained earnings at the end of 2006 will be correct.

CHAPTER
20-1. The purposes of the scope paragraph in the auditor’s report are to inform the
financial statement users that the audit was conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, in general terms what those standards
mean, and whether the audit provides a reasonable basis for an opinion.
20-2. The purpose of the opinion paragraph is to state the auditor’s conclusions based
upon the results of the audit evidence. The most important information in the
opinion paragraph includes:
1. The words “in our opinion” which indicate that the conclusions are based on
professional judgment.
2. A restatement of the financial statements that have been examined and the
dates thereof or a reference to the introductory paragraph.
3. A statement about whether the financial statements were presented fairly and
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
20-4. Materiality for lack of independence in audit reporting is easiest to define. If the
auditor lacks independence as defined by the Code of Professional Ethics, it is
always considered highly material and therefore a disclaimer of opinion is always
necessary. For failure to follow GAAP, there are three levels of materiality:
immaterial, material, and highly material.
20-5. The auditor’s opinion may be qualified by scope limitations caused by client
restrictions or by limitations resulting from conditions beyond the client’s control.
The former occurs when the client will not, for example, permit the auditor to
confirm material receivables or physically observe inventories. The latter may
occur when the engagement is not agreed upon until after the client’s year end
when it may not be possible to physically observe inventories or confirm
receivables.
When there is a scope restriction that results in the failure to verify material, but
not pervasive accounts, a qualified opinion may be issued. This is more likely
when the scope limitation is for conditions beyond the client’s control than for
restrictions by the client.
20-6. When another CPA has performed part of the audit, the primary auditor issues one
of the following types of reports based on the circumstances.
1. No reference is made to the other auditor. This will occur if the other
auditor examined an immaterial portion of the statement, the other auditor is
known or closely supervised, or if the principal auditor has thoroughly
reviewed the other auditor’s work.
2. Issue a shared opinion in which reference is made to the other auditor. This
type of report is issued when it is impractical to review the work of the other
auditor or when a portion of the financial statements audited by the other
CPA is material in relation to the total.
3. The report may be qualified if the principal auditor is not willing to assume
any responsibility for the work of the other auditor. A disclaimer may be
issued if the segment audited by the other CPA is highly material.
Writing the Audit Report 20-3
20-7. 1) Disclaimer of opinion. Because the client refuses to allow the auditor to
expand the scope of his examination, a disclaimer of opinion is appropriate
rather than a qualified as to scope and opinion.
2) Disclaimer of opinion. The auditor cannot issue an unqualified opinion on
the income statement or the statement of cash flows because a disclaimer of
opinion is necessary for the beginning balance sheet. The auditor may issue
an unqualified opinion on the ending balance sheet and a disclaimer of
opinion on the income statement, statement of cash flows, and the beginning
balance sheet.
3) Unqualified opinion. The auditor is able to satisfy him or herself that with the
use of alternative procedures, a qualified opinion is not necessary.
4) Qualified opinion or adverse opinion for failure to follow generally accepted
accounting principles. The materiality of twenty per cent of net earnings
before taxes would be sufficient for many auditors to require an adverse
opinion. That materiality question is a matter of auditor judgment.
5) Disclaimer of opinion. Lack of independence by audit personnel on the
engagement mandates a disclaimer for lack of independence.
6) Unqualified opinion. The company has made a decision to follow a different
financing method which is adequately disclosed. There is no change of
accounting principle.

Writing the Audit Report 20-5
The auditor’s report on his examination of the financial statements of the Young
Manufacturing Corporation includes the following deficiencies:
1. The audit report has no title. It should include a phrase such as “independent
auditor’s report.”
2. The audit report is addressed to the president. It is usually more appropriate
to address it to the stockholders or board of directors.
3. The date of the auditor’s report should be the date of the completion of the
auditor’s field work, not the balance sheet date.
4. The report includes only two paragraphs. It should be three paragraphs if it
is standard wording, or more if there is a violation of GAAP, which there is.
5. There must be reference to both the 2007 and 2006 financial statements in
the scope and opinion paragraphs, including a statement about the degree of
responsibility the auditor is taking for each year’s statements.
6. The auditor’s report is deficient because the dates of the balance sheet and
the period covered by the income statement are not given. These dates
should be given so that the reader will clearly understand that the opinion is
limited to specific financial statements. Clarification as to the statements
covered by the opinion is imperative because comparative financial
statements are presented.
7. The title “Balance Sheet” is used in the report, but “statements of condition”
is employed as the title of the financial statement. Different titles should not
be used because a criterion of professional work is that uniform and accurate
terminology be used.
8. Although the auditor’s report states that he or she examined the Statement of
Income and Retained Earnings, the attached financial statements do not
include the Retained Earnings statement. All financial statements referred to
in the auditor’s report should be appended to the report.
The difference of P66,481 between the opening and closing balances of the
Retained Earnings account is not reconcilable to the reported net income for
