- The auditor worked for this client for years. But before accepting or continuing with the client what factors should the auditor consider looking at the given information below? The client: Although client cash flows have been stable, the disruption caused by the 2020 global pandemic made it difficult for retail lessors to pay their rent on time. Due to the company's tenant-friendly approach, retail clients were allowed to renegotiate their lease and temporarily pause rent payments between June 2020 and July 2021, shifting those payments to the last 12 months. Most of these leases will expire in the next two years, including all retail companies unable to pay their rent. However, they estimate that they will receive all the lost cash flow from these tenants within a couple of years.

Although Dinoco is unable to predict the outcome, it does not expect the case to have a material adverse effect on the company. 2. In November 2020, the state of Texas filed suit against Dinoco, seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief for violations of environmental laws regulating hazardous waste.
