Megan is performing an initial audit of a financial service institution. One of her first
steps is to assess the reasonableness of opening balances. How should she proceed?
a. Opening balances do not become easier to determine as experience is gained with
a client, so Megan's procedures will be the same as for a continuing client.
b. If the account balance turns over at least once an accounting period, Megan must
perform extensive audit procedures.
c. Megan can place reliance on the report submitted by the predecessor auditor, but
that decision should be made by audit area.
d. Because this is an initial audit, over auditing is not a concern; Megan must
perform all possible procedures.
During the performance of risk assessment procedures, Andoy, CPA, noted a
change in accounting principle has been effected by the client. In this case,
Andoy should plan to evaluate the change to satisfy himself that:
The newly adopted principle is a generally accepted accounting principle
The method of accounting for the effects of the change is in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles
Management's justification for the change is reasonable

- An important task ¡n the audit of the revenue cycle is determining whether a client has appropriately recognized revenue. a. What is the five-step process that companies should use in recognizing revenue? Why might the auditor need to do additional research and consider additional criteria on revenue recognition? b. The following are situations in which the auditor will make decisions about the amount of revenue to be recognized. For each of the following scenarios, labeled (1) through (6): . Identify the key issues to address in determining whether or not revenue should he recognized. . Identify additional information the auditor may want to gather in making a decision on revenue recognition. . Based only on the information presented, develop a rationale for either the recognition or nonrecognition of revenue. 1. AOL sells software that is unique as a provider of Internet services. The software contract includes a service fee of $19.95 for up to 500 hours of Internet service each month. The minimum requirement is a one-year contract. The company proposes to immediately recognize 30% of the first-year’s contract as revenue from the sale of software and 70% as Internet services on a monthly basis as fees are collected from the customer. 2. Modis Manufacturing builds specialty packaging machinery for other manufacturers. All of the products are high end and range in sales price from $5 million to $25 million. A major customer is rebuilding one of its factories and has ordered three machines with total revenue for Modis of $45 million. The contracted date to complete the production was November, and the company met the contract dare. The customer acknowledges the contract and confirms the amount. However, because the factory is not yet complete, it has asked Modis to hold the products in the ware house as a courtesy until its building is complete. 3. Standish Stoneware has developed a new low-end line of baking products that will be sold directly to consumers and to low-end discount retailers. The company had previously sold high-end silverware products to specialty stores and has a track record of returned items for the high-end stores. The new products tend to have more defects, but the defects are not necessarily recognizable ¡n production. For example, they are more likely to crack when first used in baking. The company does not have a history of returns from these products, but because the products are new, it grants each customer the right to return the merchandise for a full refund or replacement within one year of purchase. 4. Omer Technologies is a high-growth company that sells electronic products to the custom copying business. It is an industry with high innovation, but Omer’s technology is basic. In order to achieve growth, management has empowered the sales staff to make special deals to increase sales in the fourth quarter of the year. The sales deals include a price break and an increased salesperson commission but not an extension of either the product warranty or the customer’s right to return the product. 5. Electric City is a new company that has the exclusive right to a new technology that saves municipalities a substantial amount of energy for large-scale lighting purposes (e.g., for ball fields, parking lots, and shop ping centers). The technology has been shown to be very cost effective in Europe. In order to get new customers to try the product, the sales force allows customers to try the product for up to six months to prove the amount of energy savings they will realize. The company is so confident that customers will buy the product that it allows this pilot-testing period. Revenue is recognized at the time the product is installed at the customer location, with a small provision made for potential returns. 6. Jackson Products decided to quit manufacturing a line of its products and outsourced the production. However, much of its manufacturing equipment could be used by other companies. In addition, it had over $5 million of new manufacturing equipment on order in a noncancelable deal. The company decided to become a sales representative to sell the new equipment ordered and its existing equipment. All of the sales were recorded as revenue.arrow_forwardWhen applying analytical procedures during an audit, which of the following is the best approach for developing expectations?

- whats the answer in the 2nd number?arrow_forwardYou are a new staff accountant with a large regional CPA firm, participating in your first audit. You recall fromyour auditing class that CPAs often use ratios to test the reasonableness of accounting numbers provided by theclient. Since ratios reflect the relationships among various account balances, if it is assumed that prior relationships still hold, prior years’ ratios can be used to estimate what current balances should approximate. However,you never actually performed this kind of analysis until now. The CPA in charge of the audit of Covington PikeCorporation brings you the list of ratios shown below and tells you these reflect the relationships maintained byCovington Pike in recent years.Profit margin on sales = 5%Return on assets = 7.5%Gross profit margin = 40%Inventory turnover ratio = 6 timesReceivables turnover ratio = 25 timesAcid-test ratio = 0.9 to oneCurrent ratio = 2 to 1Return on shareholders’ equity = 10%Debt to equity ratio = 1/3Times interest earned ratio = 12…arrow_forwardAssume that you are using attributes sampling to test the controlsover revenue recognition of the Packet Corporation, a public company.You will use the results as part of the evidence on which to baseyour opinion on internal controls and to determine what substantiveauditing procedures you should performed on revenue and accountsreceivable.
