CR – May 2023 – L3 – Q4b – Events After the Reporting Period (IAS 10)

Advise on the correct accounting treatment and disclosures for Resource LTD’s sale.

At August 31, 2016, Evolve LTD controlled a wholly owned subsidiary, Resource LTD, whose only assets were land and buildings, measured in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

On August 1, 2016, Evolve LTD published a statement stating that a binding offer for the sale of Resource LTD had been made and accepted, and at that date, the sale was expected to be completed by August 31, 2016. The non-current assets of Resource LTD were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell at August 31, 2016, based on the selling price in the binding offer. This measurement was in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

However, Evolve LTD did not classify the non-current assets of Resource LTD as held for sale in the financial statements at August 31, 2016, because there were uncertainties regarding the negotiations with the buyer and a risk that the agreement would not be finalized. There was no disclosure of these uncertainties, and the original agreement was finalized on September 20, 2016.

Required:
Advise Evolve LTD on how the above transactions should be correctly dealt with in its financial statements with reference to relevant International Financial Reporting Standards. (10 Marks)

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.

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.

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

  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.

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.

An impairment loss of N700,000 was recognized at the end of the May 31, 2018 financial year when accumulated depreciation was N2 million.

At the year end, on May 31, 2019, it had improved further, so that the fair value less costs to sell was N5.9 million. The property was disposed of eventually on June 5, 2019, for N6 million.

Required:

Examination of internal control meaning, examples, and sources of audit evidence for completeness, ownership, and valuation.
