Assignment 2(Ali & Co Audit firm) You are the audit partner of Ali & Co and are currently performing risk assessment for existing client, TAQA Co, for the year ending 31 December 2016. TAQA manufactures and sells heating and plumbing equipment to a number of home improvement stores across the country. TAQA has experienced increased competition and as a result, in order to maintain its current levels of sales, it has decreased the selling price of its products significantly since September 2014. The finance director has informed your audit manager that he expects increased inventory levels at the year end. He also notified your manager that one of TAQA's key customers has been experiencing financial difficulties. Therefore, TAQA has agreed that the customer can take a six-month payment break, after which payments will continue as normal. The finance director does not believe that any allowance is required against this receivable. In October 2016 the financial controller of TAQA was dismissed. He had been employed by the company for over 20 years, and he has threatened to sue the company for unfair dismissal. The role of financial controller has not yet been filled and so his tasks have been shared between the existing finance department team. In addition, the purchase ledger supervisor left in August and a replacement has been appointed in the last week. However, for this period no supplier statement reconciliations or purchase ledger control account reconciliations were performed. You have undertaken a preliminary analytical review of the draft year to date statement of profit or loss, and you are surprised to see a significant fall in administration expenses. Required: Explain audit risks in TAQA Co
