AAA – Nov 2016 – L3 – Q1 – Forensic Auditing

Evaluate significant audit issues related to fraud by the MD/CEO, disclosure of discontinued operations, and audit responsibilities for internet banking.

Havana Bank Plc was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in February 2015. There was an initial public offer in the same period with proceeds of N5 billion. Part of the proceeds was expected to be utilized to strengthen the bank’s internet banking facility.

In November of the same year, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO) proceeded on a three-week vacation to the United Kingdom but did not return at the time of concluding the audit of the 2015 financial statements early in 2016. It was observed that the MD/CEO had absconded with documents relating to the public offer. It was also noted that he kept drawing cash whilst in the United Kingdom amounting to N922 million.

The Bank closed its Gambian operations in June 2015 because it had made losses for two consecutive years. Prior to the two years before the closure, the operations in Gambia had grown into a network of five branches, contributing 15 percent of the gross income and 9.5 percent of the net profits of the group. The closure was not disclosed in the financial statements, but reference was made to the closure in the directors’ report.

a. Identify and explain the significant audit matters you will consider in forming an opinion in relation to the missing documents and the cash drawings by the absconded MD/CEO. (10 Marks)
