Chapter 8 Lab Questions FMGT 4310 Winter 2024 Case 1 Fernandes and Associates Chartered Professional Accountants is a successful mid-tier accounting firm with a large range of clients across Canada. During 2023, Fernandes and Associates gained a new client, Ultimate CCTV Inc., which manufactures and sells surveillance cameras and equipment. The year-end for Ultimate CCTV is June 30. You are a senior auditor working on the Ultimate CCTV engagement for 2023 and have been asked to test the sales commission expense using substantive analytical procedures. The five products they sell are as follows and the commission rates differ depending on the product sold. - Ultimate Reg License Plate Capture Cameras (3% commission) - Ultimate Black & White Nightvision Cameras (3% commission) - Ultimate Weatherproof Color Cameras (2% commission) - Ultimate Pan/Tilt/Zoom Cameras (2% commission) - Ultimate Vandal Resistant Black & White Dome Cameras (1% commission) Required: Explain how you would use substantive analytical procedures to audit the Commission Expense for this client. Explain each step in the 8-step process as it relates to this client.
Case 2 The following items are documented in the audit working papers: 1. Sales transaction included in the year ended December 31, 2023, but evidence from the cut-off procedure suggests that the sale should be dated January 2, 2024 ($1,250,000). 2. Warranty expenses in the trial balance for the year ended December 31, 2023, total $150,000; the provision for warranty claims as at December 31, 2022, was $100,000. Evaluation of correspondence suggests that an additional $200,000 in warranty claims could result from ongoing disputes with customers. No provision for these claims has been made. Management has made a warranty provision for 2023 of $120,000. 3. Severance expenses related to reorganization of head office administration were charged to rent expenses ($578,920). 4. Management has not recorded an impairment for assets. A drought-induced recession has hurt property values in regional cities where seven branch offices are located. Total land and buildings in the trial balance is $5.5 million. Required: Evaluate each item above and explain whether each item is an error or a judgemental misstatement. What specific action and/or correction would you recommend to the client? # Error / Judgmental Explanation Recommended Action 1 2 3 4
