Auditing

During 2018, Dana and Associates gained a new client, Rubine Health Inc. (Ultimate Health). Ultimate Healths businesses include private treatment facility and laser treatment of skin defects. Year end for all Ultimate Health entities is September 30. You are the auditor-in-charge of the audit of Ultimate Health.

During the 2017 financial year, Ultimate Health released its own line of treatment supplies, such as orthotics, message oils, and exercise discs and balls, which are sold by Ultimate Healths sales team. The sales team receives a base salary and a bonus that is based on the dollar value of sales it generates. You selected a sample of payments received by Ultimate Health post year end and trace the payments back to the general ledger and customer account balance.

In addition, you are reviewing the results of a number of tests related to accounts payable, summarized in the table below.

Test	Procedure Performed and Results	Conclusion

For two creditors out of 15 tested, the balance was only marginally overstated.	Accepted as no material errors were found.
2	A number of suppliers invoices were selected and checked to ensure that the pricing and discount terms were reviewed and authorized by the purchase manager. Three out of 20 invoices tested had not been authorized and incorrect discounts were recorded for these invoices. A follow-up of the three samples with deviations did not highlight a pattern or specific reason for the errors.	Accepted as the errors in discounts taken were immaterial.
