Question

JAK Professional Services is a member firm of James Candle International in Cayman Islands. The member firm’s practice review exercise has just been concluded.

Some of the issues included in the review notes raised on JAK Professional Services audit files are as follows:

iii. No cash flow working documentation to show how the figures on the cash flow statements in the financial statements were arrived at;

iv. Improper documentation of how expected credit loss on financial instruments in the financial statements were arrived at; and

v. Figures in the financial statements could not be traced to the respective working papers.

As an experienced auditor, some of the trainees were not impressed about the report and have approached you for clarification.

b. Factors to be considered when deciding amount of audit evidence needed (4 Marks)
