Assume that you are auditing a real estate company that owns and rents several apartment buildings. In total, the company owns 22 buildings and has over 1,000 apartments that it rents out on annual leases. You are auditing accounts receivables. From past experience, it has been difficult to get renters to confirm receivables at the end of the year. As an alternative, you choose to use ADA to investigate the relationship between accounts receivable and subsequent cash receipts. Using ADA, you get the following results.

Accounts receivable at year-end subject to ADA		$2,634,008		100.0%
Cash collection equals accounts receivable		2,122,858		80.6%
Cash collection greater than accounts receivable				0.0%
Cash collection less than accounts receivable		418,025		15.9%
No cash collected on December 31, 2022, accounts receivable		93,125		3.5%
		$2,634,008		100.0%
