Evaluating stakeholder impact and ethical principles in response to financial reporting manipulation.

Question

Gloria Okeke is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Magi and Magi Pharmaceuticals, which produces drugs for the Lagoona region of the country. Gloria is convinced that the company is doing quite well and the management is following due process in terms of structure and governance. She believes that this is the reason for the company’s steady growth in terms of revenue, profit, and earnings.

In 2013, Magi and Magi Pharmaceuticals made a profit of 70% over and above the 2012 results. Mr. Joeb, the Chief Accountant, is quite impressed and is of the opinion that the company should make full disclosure of its profits in the Financial Statements, thinking this would engender greater confidence and attract additional investment in the company.

However, Gloria, claiming to be the boss, instructed Joeb to increase her compensation and inflate the cost of production of pharmaceutical drugs to reduce the disclosed profit of the company.

Joeb outrightly disagreed with Gloria’s instruction, giving her a long talk about his duty to comply with his Institute’s professional rules of conduct. However, Gloria cut short the meeting, saying that she did not wish to entertain any further discussion about her decision. She advised Joeb, in his own interest, to implement her instructions.

Required:

a. As a chartered accountant, specify any THREE categories of stakeholders that Joeb should consider in taking any professional decision or action with regard to the instruction stated above and give reasons for your choice.
(7½ Marks)

b. Discuss the basic principles of ethics that Joeb, as a chartered accountant, should comply with in the course of carrying out his professional responsibilities.

AA – Nov 2014 – L2 – Q1 – Risk Assessment and Internal Control

Analyze audit risks and ethical considerations for a new audit engagement with a telecommunication firm.

Question

You are the Principal Partner in charge of a four-partner firm of Chartered Accountants. Your firm has been invited to tender for the audit of Poles Apart Limited for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Poles Apart Limited was established two years ago and provides mobile phone service for individuals and businesses. The system established by the company comprises:

Small portable mobile phones, which allow subscribers to contact or be contacted by any other telephone.
The mobile phones can be used within the range of a local relay station that receives and sends calls to the mobile phone.
The local relay stations are linked to a central computer that connects the calls to other users, often through a computer telephone network.
Currently, the local relay stations cover one large city with a population of about 1,000,000. In the next year, the system will expand to all cities in Nigeria with populations over 250,000. By 2017, it will cover all motorways and cities with populations over 100,000, which will involve substantial capital expenditure and require additional borrowings.
The cost of the relay stations and central computer is capitalized and amortized over six years.
The mobile phones are manufactured by other companies and sold through retailers. Poles Apart Limited pays ₦2,000 to the retailer for each phone sold, which is capitalized and amortized over four years.
Subscribers are invoiced monthly with a fixed line rental and a variable call charge. Charges for calls from other operators are also calculated by the company’s main computer.
All shares are owned by three wealthy individuals who serve as non-executive directors. They receive a fixed allowance and do not plan further investment in the company.
Establishing the network of relay stations and subscribers will result in losses for at least three years, with current borrowings at about 20% of shareholders’ funds. It is expected that the company will be highly geared by 2016.
As the company will not be immediately profitable, executive directors receive a basic salary and a bonus based on the number of subscribers.
The owners plan to float the company on the local Stock Exchange in 2016. The flotation will involve issuing new shares to the public and the three non-executive directors selling some of their shares.
Poles Apart Limited has several large competitors, each with comprehensive coverage of over 90% of the population.

Required:

a. Consider the risks associated with the audit of Poles Apart Limited. (12 Marks)

b. Describe the ethical matters you should consider in deciding whether your audit firm should accept the audit engagement. This should include considering whether your firm has the technical and logistical ability to carry out the audit. (12 Marks)

c. Advise on whether you should accept or decline the audit assignment, giving your principal reasons for coming to this decision. (6 Marks)
