Ensure you describe the reasons WHY you made this choice. SITUATION 1: Aldershot Corporation: The audit firm of Teper and Lubetsky was engaged by Aldershot to perform a financial statement audit for the recently completed year. Michele Teper (the audit partner) communicated her disagreement with Aldershot management regarding their use of the LIFO (Last In, First Out) method of inventory valuation which is not in accordance with GAAP Michele Teper believes that the impact of the misstatement is both material and pervasive.
