AA – Mar 2023 – L2 – Q4a – Completion Procedures and Reporting

Explain the auditor's responsibilities regarding subsequent events and how a legal claim should be reported in financial statements.

You are an audit assistant for an audit client with a year-end of 31 December 2021. A major customer has instituted a legal action against the company for faulty goods supplied after the year-end. A recently recruited intern who was part of your team was of the opinion that because of the cut-off assertion, any event after 31 December 2021 should not affect the financial statements and therefore the auditor should have no responsibility for issues occurring after the reporting year.

Following your audit of the client, you have concluded that there is a possibility, but not a probability, that the claim will be successful. However, management has decided not to make a provision or disclosure in the financial statements for this matter.

Required:
In reference to the preamble:
i) Describe the auditor’s responsibility for subsequent events occurring between:

  • The year-end date and the date the auditor’s report is signed; and
  • The date the auditor’s report is signed and the date the financial statements are issued. (6 marks)

ii) Explain how the matter should be reported in the financial statements. (4 marks)

AAA – Dec 2023 – L3 – Q3 – Audit Evidence | Evaluation and Review

Assess the risk of material misstatement and audit implications related to goodwill impairment, accounting policies, auditor’s opinion, and going concern.

As the Audit Manager for Grep & Co., you are currently overseeing the audit of Kellwin Ltd., a company operating in the food processing industry. The audit for the financial year ended 31 October 2023 is nearing completion. However, several issues have been brought to your attention by the audit team, requiring your review and further action.

a) Goodwill Impairment
Kellwin Ltd. acquired a subsidiary, Fresh Foods Plc, on 1 November 2021. The purchase consideration for the acquisition was GH¢18 million. The goodwill arising on the acquisition was recognized at GH¢3 million in Kellwin Ltd.’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2022. The directors have conducted an impairment review of goodwill and have concluded that no impairment is necessary, with the carrying amount of goodwill remaining at GH¢3 million as at 31 October 2023. The directors have explained that the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the goodwill has been allocated exceeds the carrying amount. (8 marks)

b) Accounting Policies
During the audit, it was identified that Kellwin Ltd. changed its accounting policy for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. Previously, revenue was recognized when goods were delivered to customers. However, from 1 January 2023, the company started recognizing revenue when the goods were dispatched from the warehouse. This change was applied retrospectively, and the comparative figures in the financial statements were restated. The impact of this change is an increase in revenue by GH¢1.5 million for the year ended 31 October 2023. The directors have justified the change by stating that it provides more relevant information to users of the financial statements. (6 marks)

c) Auditor’s Opinion and Going Concern
Kellwin Ltd. has experienced significant financial difficulties during the year due to adverse economic conditions. As a result, the company has incurred a net loss of GH¢2 million and has breached its loan covenants. The directors have initiated discussions with the company’s bank to secure a waiver of the covenant breaches and to obtain additional funding. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the directors are confident that they will secure the necessary funding. However, the negotiations with the bank are still ongoing, and there is significant uncertainty regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. (6 marks)

Required:
i) Assess the risk of material misstatement in relation to each of the issues described above.
ii) For each issue, state the audit procedures that should be performed to address the risks identified.

Title: AAA – May 2019 – L3 – Q1a – The audit approach, Audit evidence, Reportin

Analyze the impact of a significant explosion on financial statements, assess contingent liabilities, and determine appropriate audit evidence.

Abuakwa Ltd (Abuakwa) is a multinational mining group that is involved in different operations. The draft financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 show the following:

Financial Statement Extracts 2019 (draft) 2018 (audited)
Revenue GH¢30.60 million GH¢28.08 million
Profit before tax GH¢3.12 million GH¢3.00 million
Total net assets GH¢29.76 million GH¢27.24 million

You are the manager responsible for the audit for the year ended 31 March 2019. You have just visited the client’s premises to review the audit team’s work to date. The audit senior has drafted the following “points for the attention of the manager”.

a) On 12 March 2019, an explosion occurred in one of Abuakwa’s premises, destroying about one quarter of the premises. Luckily, the explosion happened at night when the premises were empty, and there were no injuries to any persons. Structural engineers and surveyors are currently assessing the stability of the remainder of the premises, and it is, as yet, unclear whether they can be repaired or will need to be demolished and rebuilt in their entirety.

In the last few days, notifications have been received from the owners of four nearby businesses claiming that the structural integrity of their premises may have been compromised by the impact of the explosion.

They also advised that structural engineers are currently assessing their premises to ensure they are still safe. These business owners have formally notified Abuakwa that if their premises were adversely affected by the explosion, they will claim an “appropriate and justifiable” level of compensation from Abuakwa.

Abuakwa’s insurers have been informed but at this point are refusing to comment on the situation until, they say, all the facts are clear in relation to the explosion and its effects.

AAA – April 2022 – L3 – Q3a Evaluation and review

Explain the reporting implications and auditors' responsibilities for events after the reporting period for Aseda Manufacturer Ltd.

Aseda Manufacturer Ltd (Aseda) is one of the established businesses in the manufacturing sector. The company has received different awards over the past decade. Aseda’s year-end was 30 September 2020. The audit of Aseda is nearly complete, and the financial statements and the audit report are due to be signed in a few days. However, the following additional information on two material events has just been presented to the auditor on 3 December 2020.

  1. Event 1:
    This event occurred on 10 November 2020. Production at the Aluta factory was halted for one day when a truck carrying dye used in colouring the fabric on mattresses reversed into a metal pylon, crashing the vehicle and causing dye to spread across the factory premises and into a local river. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ghana is currently considering whether the release of the dye was in breach of environmental legislation. The company’s insurers have not yet commented on the event.
  2. Event 2:
    This event occurred on 19 October 2020. The springs in a new type of mattress have been found to be defective, making the mattress unsafe for use. There have been no sales of this mattress as it was due to be marketed in the next few weeks. The company’s insurers estimate that inventory worth GH¢600,000 has been affected. The insurers also estimate that the mattresses are now only worth GH¢100,000. No claim can be made against the supplier of springs as this company is in liquidation with no prospect of any amounts being paid to third parties. The insurers will not pay Aseda for the fall in value of the inventory as the company was underinsured. All of this inventory was in the finished goods store at the end of the year and no movements of inventory have been recorded post year-end.

Required: a) For each of the two events above: i) Explain the reporting implication of the issues in accordance with IAS 10: Events after the Reporting Period. (4 marks)
ii) Explain the auditors’ responsibility and the audit procedures that should be carried out in accordance with ISA 560: Subsequent Events. (12 marks)
