2. The following papers are in the Preliminary section. They should look familiar to you. (See step 3 below). Beside each paper is a brief description of what you should do: i. Engagement Letter - read it, note the bolded points ii. Client Description-read it, highlight the parts about RMC, City bank iii. Org chart - audit team read it, highlight your place on the team. Write in your instructor's name beside the Manager line iv. Client Financial Statements - Briefly review them V. Planning Memo - ARP: fill in the blanks (use the WTB), choose the correct responses. Risk Assessment: Assess IR in the blank space, choose the correct response for the CR section. Ignore the DR section for now. Materiality: Calculate materiality on the WP worksheet attached, check with your manager on which guideline to use and which level to choose once you have done the calculations. Planning Factors: Calculate (from the WTB) last year's AFDA%. Time Budget: read vi. Internal Control Analyses - Descriptions and flowcharts. Pick the correct level of CR for each of the systems based on your study of the flowcharts for Sales and Purchases. Use the control responses in the cash section. vii. Audit Programs - Examine them. Note that they are indexed as "Ad" items which means they are part of the administrative papers of the audit even though they will be used to do the current year "number crunch" audit later. viii. WTB and Adjusting Entries - Examine them. Use the WTB to do your ARP and AFDA calculation above. Note these are indexed as A & B even though they are part of the Admin Papers. They are the bridge from the financial statements and GL to the audit working papers. Examine the indexing on the WTB. 1. Preliminary Audit Procedures a. Analytical Review Procedures - When scanning changes on Working Paper A, the Analytic Review Procedure (ARP) % Change, note that the change in Cash is NOT an issue and Retained Earnings should not be chosen (we test components that flow into Retained Earnings, so we wouldn't consider misstatement potential in RE, but the sources that feed RE would be more relevant). When determining the accounts with potential misstatements, consider the accounts we will be testing. Use your accounting knowledge regarding items like depreciation and when assets were purchased. Look for the average percentage change, and then it will be easier to determine what might be an unusual change. b. Assess Overall Inherent Risk (IR) as either high or low; a calculated number/percentage is not required. c. Sales - use the sales figure of $3,110,000 from the Income Statement in Quantitative Factors and Materiality Considerations. d. Expenses - use the expenses figure of $624,700 from the Income Statement in Quantitative Factors. e. Normalized Pre-tax income is the same as Income before Tax. f. As your manager, I advise that because this is a new audit and there are analytical procedure concerns, use the low end of the materiality guidelines factor for calculating possible materiality. g. Once possible materiality is calculated, I advise you to use the materiality you calculated for Gross Profit as the overall materiality for this audit. Index AdA-2 Poly Distributors Ltd.
