QUESTION FIVE Aseda Manufacturer Ltd (Aseda) is one of the established businesses in the manufacturing sector. The company has received different awards over the past decade. Asedas year-end was 30 September 2020.The audit of Aseda is nearly complete and the financial statements and the audit report are due to be signed in a few days. However, the following additional information on two material events has just been presented to the auditor on 3 December 2020. Event 1 This event occurred on 10 November, 2020. Production at the Aluta factory was halted for one day when a truck carrying dye used in colouring the fabric on mattresses reversed into a metal pylon, crashing the vehicle and causing a dye to spread across the factory premises and into a local river. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ghana is currently considering whether the release of the dye was in breach of environmental legislation. The companys insurers have not yet commented on the event.

Event 2 This event occurred on 19 October, 2020.The springs in a new type of mattress have been found to be defective making the mattress unsafe for use. There have been no sales of this mattress as it was due to be marketed in the next few weeks. The companys insurers estimate that inventory worth GH600,000 has been affected. The insurers also estimate that the mattresses are now only worth GH100,000. No claim can be made against the supplier of springs as this company is in liquidation with no prospect of any amounts being paid to third parties. The insurers will not pay Aseda for the fall in value of the inventory as the company was underinsured. All of this inventory was in the finished goods store at the end of the year and no movements of inventory have been recorded post year-end. Required: For each of the two events above: a. Explain the reporting implication of the issues in accordance with IAS 10: Events after the Reporting Period. b.
