Jones hired two recent accounting graduates to conduct the audit and spent several hours telling them exactly what to do. She told the new hires not to spend time reviewing the entity's system of internal control but to concentrate on providing the mathematical acciracy of the general and subsidiary ledgers and summarizing the data in the accounting records that supported Boucher's financial statements. The new hires followed Jones's instructions and after two weeks gave Jones the financial statements excluding footnotes. Jones reviewed the statements and prepared an unqualified auditor's report.
