CR – Nov 2014 – L3 – SA – Q1 – Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10)

Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position for Bagat Plc, incorporating details on acquisitions, impairments, and inter-company balances.

Bagat Plc has two subsidiaries (Megat and Mingat) and one associate (Cagat). Since the adoption of IFRS by Government Bagat has been preparing its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The draft Statements of Financial Position of Bagat and its two subsidiaries as at 31 May 2013 are as follows:

Draft Statements of Financial Position as at 31 May 2013

The following information is relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements:

i. On 1 June, 2012, Bagat acquired 80% of the equity interest of Megat Plc. On the date of acquisition, the retained earnings of Megat were N2.72 billion and other components of equity were N80 million. There had been no new issue of capital by Megat since the date of acquisition. The purchase consideration comprised cash of N6 billion whereas the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Megat on this date was N8 billion. The excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of non-depreciable land. An independent valuer has stated that the fair value of the non-controlling interests in Megat was N1.72 billion on 1 June, 2012. It is the policy of Bagat to measure non-controlling interests on the basis of their proportionate share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary and not at fair value (full goodwill method).

ii. Also on 1 June, 2012, Bagat acquired 70% of the ordinary shares of Mingat. The consideration for the acquisition of these shares was N2.56 billion. Under the purchase agreement of 1 June, 2012, Bagat is required to pay the former shareholders of Mingat 30% of the profits of Mingat on 31 May, 2014 for each of the financial years to 31 May, 2013 and 31 May, 2014. The fair value of this arrangement was estimated at N120 million at 1 June, 2012, and this value has not changed. This amount has not been included in the financial statements. The fair value of the identifiable net assets at 1 June, 2012 of Mingat was N3.52 billion and the retained earnings and other components of equity were N1.1 billion and N140 million respectively. There had been no new issue of share capital by Mingat since the date of acquisition and the excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of property, plant, and equipment (PPE). The fair value of the non-controlling interests in Mingat was N1.06 billion on this date. PPE is depreciated on a straight-line basis over seven years.

iii. Finally, Bagat acquired a 25% interest in Cagat Plc on 1 June, 2012 for N400 million achieving significant influence over that company in its financial and operating policy decisions. Cagat Plc retained earnings for the year to 31 May, 2013 was N200 million.

iv. Included in trade receivables of Bagat at 31 May, 2013 is a receivable from Megat of N30 million. Unknown to Bagat, Megat has paid this amount through a bank transfer by the close of work on 31 May, 2013, but it had not yet been reflected in the bank statement of Bagat. Megat has already passed accounting entries to reflect this transaction.

v. Goodwill arising on the purchase of Mingat was tested for impairment on 31 May, 2013, and this provided evidence of impairment to the tune of N36 million. No accounting entries have been passed to reflect the impairment.

AAA – May 2018 – L3 – SA – Q1 – Audit of Complex Entities

You are a manager in Puposola & Company (Chartered Accountants) responsible for the audit of the Honey Group (the Group), a quoted company. The Group’s main activity is steel manufacturing and it comprises of a parent company and three subsidiaries. Your firm currently audits all components of the Group. You are working on the audit of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017. This morning, the audit engagement partner left a note for you.

“Hello

I have gone through the draft consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes which summarise the key audit findings and some background information.

Although, at the planning stage, materiality was initially determined to be N900,000, and was calculated based on the assumption that Honey Group is a high-risk client due to its listing status. However, due to a number of issues that arose during the audit, there is a need to revise the materiality level for the financial statements as a whole. The revised level of materiality should now be N700,000.

Thank you.”

The Group’s draft consolidated financial statements, with notes referenced to key audit findings, are shown below:

Notes: Key Audit Findings on Statement of Comprehensive Income

  1. Revenue has been stable for all components of the Group with the exception of one subsidiary, Copesink Company, which witnessed a 25% decrease in revenue.
  2. Operating expenses for the year to June 2017 is shown net of profit on a property disposal of N2 million. Our evidence includes agreeing the cash receipts to the bank statement and sale documentation, and we have confirmed that the property has been removed from the non-current asset register. The audit junior noted when reviewing the sale document that there is an option to repurchase the property in five years’ time, but did not discuss the matter with management.
  3. The property revaluation relates to the Group’s head office. The audit team has not obtained evidence on the revaluation, as the gain was immaterial based on the initial calculation of materiality.
  4. The actuarial loss is attributed to an unexpected stock market crash. The Group’s pension plan is managed by Axial Company, a firm of independent fund managers who maintain the necessary accounting records relating to the plan. Axial Company has supplied written representation as to the value of the defined benefit plan’s assets and liabilities at June 30, 2017. No other audit work has been performed other than to agree the amount reported in the financial statements to supporting documentation supplied by Axial Company.

CR – Nov 2014 – L3 – SA – Q1 – Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10)

Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position for Bagat Plc, incorporating details on acquisitions, impairments, and inter-company balances.

Bagat Plc has two subsidiaries (Megat and Mingat) and one associate (Cagat). Since the adoption of IFRS by Government Bagat has been preparing its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The draft Statements of Financial Position of Bagat and its two subsidiaries as at 31 May 2013 are as follows:

Draft Statements of Financial Position as at 31 May 2013

The following information is relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements:

i. On 1 June, 2012, Bagat acquired 80% of the equity interest of Megat Plc. On the date of acquisition, the retained earnings of Megat were N2.72 billion and other components of equity were N80 million. There had been no new issue of capital by Megat since the date of acquisition. The purchase consideration comprised cash of N6 billion whereas the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Megat on this date was N8 billion. The excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of non-depreciable land. An independent valuer has stated that the fair value of the non-controlling interests in Megat was N1.72 billion on 1 June, 2012. It is the policy of Bagat to measure non-controlling interests on the basis of their proportionate share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary and not at fair value (full goodwill method).

ii. Also on 1 June, 2012, Bagat acquired 70% of the ordinary shares of Mingat. The consideration for the acquisition of these shares was N2.56 billion. Under the purchase agreement of 1 June, 2012, Bagat is required to pay the former shareholders of Mingat 30% of the profits of Mingat on 31 May, 2014 for each of the financial years to 31 May, 2013 and 31 May, 2014. The fair value of this arrangement was estimated at N120 million at 1 June, 2012, and this value has not changed. This amount has not been included in the financial statements. The fair value of the identifiable net assets at 1 June, 2012 of Mingat was N3.52 billion and the retained earnings and other components of equity were N1.1 billion and N140 million respectively. There had been no new issue of share capital by Mingat since the date of acquisition and the excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of property, plant, and equipment (PPE). The fair value of the non-controlling interests in Mingat was N1.06 billion on this date. PPE is depreciated on a straight-line basis over seven years.

iii. Finally, Bagat acquired a 25% interest in Cagat Plc on 1 June, 2012 for N400 million achieving significant influence over that company in its financial and operating policy decisions. Cagat Plc retained earnings for the year to 31 May, 2013 was N200 million.

iv. Included in trade receivables of Bagat at 31 May, 2013 is a receivable from Megat of N30 million. Unknown to Bagat, Megat has paid this amount through a bank transfer by the close of work on 31 May, 2013, but it had not yet been reflected in the bank statement of Bagat. Megat has already passed accounting entries to reflect this transaction.

v. Goodwill arising on the purchase of Mingat was tested for impairment on 31 May, 2013, and this provided evidence of impairment to the tune of N36 million. No accounting entries have been passed to reflect the impairment.

AAA – May 2018 – L3 – SA – Q1 – Audit of Complex Entities

Evaluate materiality reassessment, audit findings, and joint audit implications for Honey Group’s financial statements.

You are a manager in Puposola & Company (Chartered Accountants) responsible for the audit of the Honey Group (the Group), a quoted company. The Group’s main activity is steel manufacturing and it comprises of a parent company and three subsidiaries. Your firm currently audits all components of the Group. You are working on the audit of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017. This morning, the audit engagement partner left a note for you.

“Hello

I have gone through the draft consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes which summarise the key audit findings and some background information.

Although, at the planning stage, materiality was initially determined to be N900,000, and was calculated based on the assumption that Honey Group is a high-risk client due to its listing status. However, due to a number of issues that arose during the audit, there is a need to revise the materiality level for the financial statements as a whole. The revised level of materiality should now be N700,000.

Thank you.”

The Group’s draft consolidated financial statements, with notes referenced to key audit findings, are shown below:

Draft Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

Note June 30, 2017 Draft (N’000) June 30, 2016 Actual (N’000)
Revenue 98,795 103,100

Gross profit 23,545 28,540
Operating expenses (14,900) (17,500)
Operating profit 8,645 11,040
Share of profit of associate 1,010 900
Finance costs (380) (340)
Profit before tax 9,275 11,600
Taxation (3,200) (3,500)
Profit for the year 6,075 8,100
Other comprehensive income for the year, net of tax:
Gain on property revaluation 800 —–
Actuarial losses on defined benefit plan (1,100) (200)
Other comprehensive loss (300) (200)
Total comprehensive income for the year 5,775 7,900

Notes: Key Audit Findings on Statement of Comprehensive Income

  1. Revenue has been stable for all components of the Group with the exception of one subsidiary, Copesink Company, which witnessed a 25% decrease in revenue.
  2. Operating expenses for the year to June 2017 is shown net of profit on a property disposal of N2 million. Our evidence includes agreeing the cash receipts to the bank statement and sale documentation, and we have confirmed that the property has been removed from the non-current asset register. The audit junior noted when reviewing the sale document that there is an option to repurchase the property in five years’ time, but did not discuss the matter with management.
  3. The property revaluation relates to the Group’s head office. The audit team has not obtained evidence on the revaluation, as the gain was immaterial based on the initial calculation of materiality.
  4. The actuarial loss is attributed to an unexpected stock market crash. The Group’s pension plan is managed by Axial Company, a firm of independent fund managers who maintain the necessary accounting records relating to the plan. Axial Company has supplied written representation as to the value of the defined benefit plan’s assets and liabilities at June 30, 2017. No other audit work has been performed other than to agree the amount reported in the financial statements to supporting documentation supplied by Axial Company.

Notes: Key Audit Findings on Statement of Financial Position

  1. The goodwill relates to each of the subsidiaries in the Group. Management has confirmed in writing that goodwill is stated correctly, and our other audit procedure was to arithmetically check the impairment review conducted by management.
  2. The associate is a 30% holding in Jamil Company, purchased to provide investment income. The audit team has not obtained evidence regarding the associate as there is no movement in the amount recognised in the statement of financial position.
  3. The non-current assets held for sale relate to a trading division of one of the subsidiaries, which represents one third of that subsidiary’s net assets. The sale of the division was announced in May 2017, and is expected to be complete by December 31, 2017. Audit evidence obtained includes a review of the sales agreement and confirmation from the buyer obtained in July 2017, that the sale will take place.
  4. Two of the Group’s subsidiaries are partly owned by shareholders external to the Group.
  5. A loan of N8 million was obtained in October 2016 at an interest rate of 2%, payable annually in arrears. The terms of the loan have been confirmed from the loan agreement provided by the bank. There was no repayment of the loan in the books as at prior year end.

Required:

a. Explain why auditors may need to reassess materiality as the audit progresses. (4 Marks)

b. Assess the implications of the key audit findings for the completion of the audit.

Note: Your assessment must consider whether the key audit findings indicate a risk of material misstatement. Where the key audit findings refer to audit evidence, you must also consider the adequacy of the audit evidence obtained, but you do not need to recommend further specific procedures. (18 Marks)

c. Discuss TWO advantages and TWO disadvantages of a joint audit being performed on the financial statements. (8 Marks)
