INTEGRATED CASE APPLICATION PINNACLE MANUFACTURING: PART IV 12-37 (OBJECTIVES 12-1, 12-2) In Parts I and II of this case, you performed preliminary analytical procedures and assessed acceptable audit risk and inherent risk for Pinnacle Manufacturing. In Part III, you considered fraud risks. Your team has been assigned the responsibility of auditing the acquisition and payment cycle and one related balance sheet ken will be to reduce assessed control risk to a low level, if possible, for the two main types of transactions affecting accounts payable: acquisitions and cash disbursements. The following are furnished as account, accounts payable. The general approach to be ta background information: A summary of key information from the audit of the acquisition and payment cycle and accounts payable in the prior year, which was extracted from the previous audit firm's audit files (Figure 12-12, p. 406) FIGURE 12-12 Information for Audit of Accounts Payable-Previous Year Accounts payable, 12-31-15 Number of accounts Total accounts payable Range of individual balances Performance materiality for accounts payable $9.460.776 $33.27-$677,632.97 $230,000 Transactions, 2015 16,243 $92,883.712 Number of acquisitions Total acquisitions Cash disbursements: 23,661 $87,280,031 Number of disbursements Total cash disbursements Results of audit procedures-tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions for acquisitions (sample size of 100): Purchase order not approved Purchase quantities, prices, and/or extensions not correct Transactions charged to wrong general ledger account Transactions recorded in wrong period No other exceptions Results of audit procedures-cash disbursements (sample size of 100): Cash disbursement recorded in wrong period No other exceptions Results of audit procedures-accounts payable: (50% of vendors' balances were verified; combined net understatement amounts were projected to the population as follows): $52,349 $9,552 Three cutoff misstatements One difference in amounts due to disputes and discounts No adjustment was necessary because the total projected misstatement was not material.

The objectives should be specific transaction-related audit objec- tives for acquisitions for the first matrix and cash disbursements for the second matrix. See pages 611-615 in Chapter 18 for transaction-related audit objectives for acquisitions and cash disbursements. In doing Part IV, the following steps are recommended: (1) Controls a. Identify key controls for acquisitions and for cash disbursements. After you decide on the key controls, include each control in one of the two matrices. b. Include a "C" in the matrix in each column for the objective(s) to which each control applies. Several of the controls should satisfy multiple objectives FIGURE 12-13 Pinnacle Manufacturing-Acquisition and Payment Cycle CASH DISBURSEMENTS CLERK CENTRALIZED PURCHASING DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTS PAYABLE CLERK RECEIVING DEPARTMENTS Prepare purchase order from Review document package for completeness, initial, and write date on invoice vendor's and check requisition; P.O. approved Key enter and process cash INV order R.R.
