Tests of Balances. Your client is the Nicholas van Myra Central, a shopping centre with 30 store tenants. All leases with the store tenants provide for a fixed rent plus a percentage of sales, net of sales taxes, in excess of a fixed dollar amount computed on an annual basis. Each lease also provides that the landlord may engage a Registeraccountant or Administratie Consulten to audit all records of the tenant for assurance that sales are being properly reported to the landlord.

You have been requested by your client to audit the records of the JaiLai Chinese Ind. Restaurant to determine that the sales, totaling Netherlands Guilders (NG) 725,000 for the year ended 31 December 20X4, have been properly reported to the landlord. The restaurant and the shopping centre entered into a five-year lease on 1 January 20X4. The JaiLai offers only table service. No alcohol is served. During meal times there are four or five waitresses in attendance, who prepare handwritten prenumbered restaurant bills for the customers. Payment is made at a cash register, staffed by the proprietor, as the customer leaves.

All sales are for cash. The proprietor is also the bookkeeper. Complete files are kept of restaurant bills and cash register tapes. A daily sales book and general ledger are also maintained.
