Hasbro Discussion Case Assume you're the senior auditor for KPMG and your audit client is Hasbro (NASDAQ:HAS) who makes toys and games. Hasbro had an exceptional FYE 2020 reporting a profit of $223m, a 57% reduction over 2019, primarily from COVID and the earlier success of Baby Yoda. As of 12/31/20, Hasbro has 27,000 active accounts receivable customers who only purchase merchandise on account, mostly toy stores, with an accounts receivable balance ranging in value from $120 to larger amounts (e.g., Target at $274m and Wal-Mart at $185m). The audit team has elected to use statistical sampling in testing the accounts receivable. The staff accountant selected a pre-sample of 100 random accounts and sent confirmations. The 100 accounts had an average book value balance of $47,140, per Hasbro's accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. The audit procedure produced 80 returned confirmation letters with an average balance of $49,400. Of those 80, 76 had no exceptions noted, however four had issues.
