Subject: Search for Unrecorded Liabilities
Hey, chill out!I am just doing this gig while I wait to qualify for the PGA tour!Ok, so I went back over your review notes and this is what I did:
- From the cutoff bank statement in the B-series audit documentation, I got a list of all the checks that cleared by January 15.
- I removed all checks written before 12/31, as they would not relate to December 31 outstanding liabilities anyway.
- I then traced the remaining checks to the voucher packets.The information is posted in the attached audit documentation (L-3).
- Per your instructions, I also examined documents in the open purchase order file, the unmatched receiving report file, and the unmatched invoice file (something that I forgot to do in my initial search audit procedures).
How am I supposed to know if Apollo owes any money or not?
I am going back to the driving range.If you want to stay out of trouble with Darlene, I suggest you'd better prepare the audit documentation and any necessary adjustments.
Note from the authors:For purposes of this case, assume December 31stof 2017 is a Wednesday. Having December 31stas a business day adds clarity to information in the case and enriches opportunities to develop auditing skills.
