Assume the date is 30 April 2023. Described below are situations which have arisen in four unrelated external audit clients of your firm. The year end in each case is 31 March 2023. Milford Ltd (Milford) Milford builds and operates underground pipelines which transport oil and gas. During the year ended 31 March 2023 the company incurred costs of 4.1 million in respect of repairs and maintenance to its pipelines. These costs have been capitalised and included in non-current assets. The directors refuse to make any adjustments in respect of this matter. The total assets of Milford at 31 March 2023 are 1,380 million and the profit before tax for the year ended 31 March 2023 is 148.9 million. Button Ltd (Button) On 20 April 2023, a liquidator was appointed at Hook Ltd (Hook), a customer of Button. The balance due from Hook on 31 March 2023 was 241,000. In addition, work in progress included 520,000, the cost of customised work relating to Hook. The directors of Button refuse to make an allowance for the receivable from Hook on the grounds that the liquidator was appointed after the date of the financial statements. They also refuse to recognise any write-down in respect of work in progress because they are planning to convert it into finished goods at an estimated cost of completion of 300,000 as another customer has agreed to buy it for 700,000. The total assets of Button at 31 March 2023 are 17.9 million and the profit before tax for the year ended 31 March 2023 is 5.2 million. The statement of financial position for Zep for the year ended 31 March 2023 includes 1.2 million under cash and cash equivalents, which is held on deposit in the Caribbean Islands. Hurricanes have severely disrupted the commercial and banking systems on the islands, and you have been unable to obtain direct confirmation of the balance at 31 March 2023. The total assets of Zep at 31 March 2023 are 10.9 million and the profit before tax for the year ended 31 March 2023 is 5.2 million. Freystrop Ltd (Freystrop) The directors' report contains a statement without amplification that 'the company's trading for the period resulted in a 10% increase in profit compared to the previous period.' 'However, the statement of profit or loss shows that the company's profit for the year includes a profit of 35,000 which did not arise from trading but from the disposal of non-current assets of a discontinued operation. Without this profit on the disposal of non-current assets, the company would have reported a profit for the year of 75,000 representing a reduction in profit of 25% compared to the previous period on a like-for-like basis. The directors are unwilling to change the wording of the directors' report. Requirement In each of the circumstances outlined above, reach a conclusion as to whether or not you would modify the auditor's report. Give reasons for your conclusions and outline the modifications, if any, to each auditor's report. Total: 20 marks
