You are currently involved in planning for the audit of Spot Light Ltd (SLL), a national company producing curtains and blinds. The curtain and the blind market is highly competitive, and SLL has been experiencing declining sales over the past three years. Cost-cutting has proven very difficult, as the cost of materials used in the company's production lines has increased each year. SLL's bank has continued to provide SLL with loan facilities; however, it has indicated that it expects to see improved results in the next financial report and has placed a number of quite restrictive covenants in SLL's lending agreements. Recent articles appearing in the financial press concerning SLL's expected financial results have been very pessimistic about its likely performance.
