ACC 546 Assignment Burlington Bees

[1] Research auditing professional standards and list the requirements
related to developing an expectation and conducting analytical
procedures when those procedures are intended to provide substantive
evidence. What are the advantages of developing an expectation at a
detailed level (i.e., using disaggregated data) rather than at an overall
or aggregated level?
[2] Using the information provided, please develop a precise
expectation (i.e., using the detailed or disaggregated data provided) for
ticket revenues for the 2014 fiscal year.
[3] (A) what are the advantages of using analytical procedures as
substantive tests? (b) If the engagement team decides to use analytical
procedures for the Bees’ audit, how will the audit plan differ from prior
years? (c) Discuss whether you believe analytical procedures should be
used as substantive tests for the Bees 2014 audit?
[4] (A) how close does the Bees’ reported ticket revenue for 2014 have
to be to your expectation for you to consider reported ticket revenue
reasonable or fairly stated? (b) If reported ticket revenues were outside
your “reasonableness range,” what could explain the difference?

ACC 546 Case 2.2 Apple Inc.
CASE 2.2 Apple Inc.
Evaluation of Client Business Risk
After completing and discussing this case you should be able to
[1] Describe the implications of an audit client’s business risk on the
audit engagement
[2] Describe the types of information relevant to evaluate an audit
client’s business risk
[3] Identify and evaluate the factors important in assessing an audit
client’s business risk and risk of material financial misstatement
INTRODUCTION1
[a] Apple’s:
■ Sales
■ Net income
■ Cash flow from operating activities

■ Total assets
■ Number of employees
[b] What are Apple’s products?
[c] Who are Apple’s competitors?
[d] Who are Apple’s customers?
[e] Who are Apple’s suppliers?
[f] How does Apple market and distribute its products?
[g] What is Apple’s basic business strategy (cost leadership or
differentiation)?
[h] What are critical business processes for Apple given its basic
business strategy (for example, supply chain management)?
[i] What accounting information is associated with the critical business
processes and how does Apple measure up on that information?
[j] What accounting methods does Apple use to report the accounting
information associated with critical business processes and what is the
risk of material misstatement?
This memo is to be used as a foundation document for the preliminary
business risk assessment. In evaluating Apple’s performance and
assessing the risk of misstatement, please be sure to describe your
reasoning. Your memo should be double-spaced and addressed to the
partner for the engagement (your instructor). Your firm demands
polished, concise, professional analyses and writing. Be thorough, but
get to the issues without unnecessary verbiage. In describing your

analyses and conclusions, please consider relatively short “punchy” or
to-the-point sentences. When appropriate, consider using bullet point
listings.
[2] Professional auditing standards provide guidance on the auditor’s
consideration of an entity’s business risks. What is the auditor’s
objective for understanding an entity’s business risks? Why does an
auditor not have responsibility to identify or assess all business risks?
Provide some examples of business risks associated with an entity that
an auditor should consider when performing an audit.

ACC 546 Case 3.3 The Anonymous Caller
Case 3.3 The Anonymous Caller, p. 63-65
[1] Do you think situations like this (i.e., aggressive accounting or even
financial statement fraud) are common in practice?

[2] Which financial statement assertion related to sales transactions did
management violate when it issued the falsified financial statements?
[3] The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the
International Accounting StandardsBoard (IASB) recently completed a
joint project to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and
IFRS to improve revenue recognition practices and to remove
inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements. The updated
guidance is contained in the Accounting StandardsCodification as
Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Review that
guidance to summarize the core principle for recognizing revenue and
briefly describe the five steps needed to achieve the core principle. Also,
describe how the core principle was not achieved in this situation.
[4] What types of audit procedures could an external auditor perform
that might help the auditor detect this fraudulent activity?
[5] People who study instances of financial statement fraud often note
that three conditions are generally present for fraud to occur. First, the
person perpetrating the fraud has an incentive or pressure to engage in
fraud. Second, there is an opportunity for that person to carry out the
fraud. Third, the person’s attitude or ethical values allows the
perpetrator to rationalize the unethical behavior. Describe examples of
incentive, opportunity, and attitude conditions that were present in this
situation.
[6] In 2014, the AICPA’s Professional Ethics Executive Committee
adopted a revised Code of Professional Conduct that is effective
December 15, 2014. Briefly describe how the new Code is structured
and indicate where would you find guidance about the importance of
integrity.
[7] (a) What would you recommend to the caller if you were Dr.
Mitchell? (b) What are the risks of continuing to work with the
company? (c) What are the risks of resigning immediately?

[8] What responsibility, if any, does the caller have to report this
situation directly to the bank involved? Before you respond, think about
the risks present if the caller does inform the bank and it later turns out
that the caller’s assessment of the situation was inaccurate, i.e., there
was no fraud.
[9] (a) What other parties, if any, should be notified in addition to the
bank? (b) What concerns do you have about notifying the external
auditors?
[10] (a) What pressures or factors will executives use to encourage
accounting managers and staff to go along with this type of situation?
(b) What arguments can you use to resist those pressures? (c) How does
one determine whether a company is aggressively reporting, but still in
the guidelines of GAAP, versus fraudulently reporting financial
information?

Supply

CASE 9.1 Wally’s Billboard & Sign Supply
After completing the audit program, answer the following questions:
[1] Why is the audit of cash an important part of the audit?
[2] Bill performed tests of controls for all transaction cycles with good
results. Why is it important to also perform substantive audit procedures
for the ending cash balance even when tests of controls over
transactions that affect the cash account indicate that those controls are
operating effectively?
[3] According to AICPA auditing standards, what are the necessary
ingredients for audit evidence to be considered “appropriate”?
[4] For each procedure listed in the audit program (schedule C 2),
indicate the primary assertion(s) targeted by the procedure.
[5] For each error, concern, or adjustment you listed on the Audit
Summary (schedule C 3), briefly describe at least one additionaltest you
could perform to gain evidence as to whether or not the cash account is
materially misstated.

ACC 546 Case 9.3 Longeta Corporation
Case 9.3 Longeta Corporation
overs auditing revenue contracts.
You want to be thoroughly prepared for the meeting with the audit
manager. Perform the following procedures to be certain you have all
necessary information about the transaction’s treatment.
[1] The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the
International Accounting StandardsBoard (IASB) recently completed a
joint project to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and
IFRS to improve revenue recognition practices and to remove
inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements. The updated
guidance is contained in the Accounting StandardsCodification as
Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Review that
guidance to summarize the core principle for recognizing revenue and

briefly describe the five steps needed to achieve the core principle. Also,
describe how the core principle was not achieved in this situation.
[2] In your own words, explain the company’s reasoning for recording
$5.8 million as current revenue while recording the remaining $1.2
million as deferred revenue. Also, document where on the financial
statements the deferred revenue account would be presented.
[3] Assess the content of the separate letter issued by Longeta’s vice
president of sales to Magicon. Document your conclusion abouthow the
content of the letter affects or does not affect revenue recognition for
Longeta for the year ended September 30, 2015.
[4] Given that the letter from the vice president of sales was not
attached to or documented in the order letter submitted by Magicon to
Longeta, document your conclusion as to the impact, if any, the vice
president’s letter has on the accounting treatment for the transaction
since it was not part of the order letter.
[5] Research PCAOB Auditing Standards on the PCAOB’s website
(www.pcaob.org) to summarize the guidance for auditors in regards to
their assessment of the risk of material misstatement related to revenue
recognition. What do those standards require of auditors in regards to
their assessment of risk related to revenue recognition?
[6] Auditing standards describe three conditions that are usually found
to be present. What are those three conditions and what red flags, if any,
might be present at Longeta?
[7] The separate letter from the vice president of sales was emailed and
faxed to Magicon representatives. What would be the impact if
Longeta’s vice president had only provided that information orally to
Magicon representatives and not forwarded the information in written
form?
[8] As of September 30, 2015, Magicon had only submitted the order
letter. Document your conclusion about the impact on the accounting for
the transaction if Longeta and Magicon (a) sign the reseller agreement
within 30 days or (b) do not sign the reseller agreement within 30 days.

[9] Document your final conclusion about the accounting treatment of
this transaction between Longeta and Magicon. Be sure to provide a
basis for your conclusion.
PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT QUESTION
found at the beginning of the book prior to responding to the following
question.
[10] One of the environmental factors affecting judgment is the “rush to
solve” judgment trap. Briefly describe the trap and how it applies to the
situation affecting the recording of the sales transaction.

ACC 546 Case 9.4 Bud's Big Blue Manufacturing
Case 9.4 Bud's Big Blue Manufacturing covers accounts receivable
confirmations
REQUIRED
[1] List the four factors auditors should consider when evaluating the
results of confirmation procedures. Also, what are three of the

characteristics of a reliable confirmation? (For this and other questions,
you may wish to refer relevant auditing standards).
[2] What does it mean to “maintain control” over the confirmation
requests and responses? What could go wrong if the auditor doesn’t
maintain control over the confirmation process?
[3] Complete the audit log provided on the next page for each of the
seven remaining confirmations. Consider whether each confirmation
provides sufficient, appropriate audit evidence, whether sufficient
alternative procedures have been performed for non-responses, and
whether additionalprocedures should be performed before concluding
that the confirmation provides evidence supporting the client’s account
balance. Be as precise and concise as possible.
[4] What is the difference between a positive and a negative
confirmation? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type?
[5] Search the internet to identify a real-life situation where an auditor
apparently did not maintain sufficient control over the confirmation
process. Briefly describe the situation you found.
PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT QUESTION
found at the beginning of this book prior to responding to the following
question.
[6] After completing the confirmations review, your senior asks you to
assess the reasonableness of the allowance for bad debts. Think about
the anchoring tendency discussed in the Professional Judgment
Introduction. How could the anchoring tendency bias your
reasonableness assessment? What are some ways that you could
mitigate the possible effects of the anchoring tendency in assessing the
reasonableness of the allowance?

ACC 546 Case 9.7 RedPack Beer Company
Case 9.7 RedPack Beer Company covers estimating allowance for bad
debt
[2] Following your analysis of the information in Schedules A-D,
assume that you met with RedPack’s Credit Manager, Katie Henson, to
ask her a number of questions related to specific customer accounts in
the Accounts Receivable Aged Trial Balance. A transcript of your
interview notes is provided as Schedule E. Use that information to
address the following:
[a] Based on your reading of the transcript, do you agree with the
specific reserves established by the credit manager for Distinct Beer
Distributor, Eagle Beverage Group, and Golden Holdings? If yes why?
If no what do you believe the specific reserves should be and why?
[b] Based on your reading of the transcript discussion, would you have
any concerns with other aspects related to the reporting of revenues and
accounts receivable? Explain your answer.

[c] Based on the information you have, develop an estimate of the
account balance for the allowance for bad debts and compare your
expectation to the client’s estimate summarized in Schedule B for the
allowance for bad debts. Does the amount you estimated agree with the
client’s estimate in Schedule B? If it does not agree, by how much does it
differ and is that difference material?
[d] Determine the adjusting journal entry(ies) needed, if any, to adjust
management’s estimate of the reserve to your audited estimate and post
your entries in the Adjustments column in Schedule A.
[e] Based on your reading of the professional standards in requirement
1 above, what additional procedures would you need to perform to
conclude on the adequacy of the allowance for bad debt?

ACC 546Case 4.1 Enron Corporation &
Andersen, LLP

1)What were the business risks Enron faced, and how did those risks
increase the likelihood of material misstatement in Enron’s financial
statements?
2) In your own words, summarize how Enron used SPE’s to hide large
amounts of company debt
(a) What are the responsibilities of a company’s board of directors?
(b) Could the board of directors at Enron-especially the audit
committee-have prevented the fall of Enron?
(c) Should they have known about the risks and apparent lack of
independence with the Enron’s SPEs? What should they have done
about it?
(a) Explain how “rule-based” accounting standards differ from
“principle-based” standards.
(b) How might fundamentally changing accounting standards from
“bright-line” rules to principle-based standards help prevent another
Enron-like fiasco in the future?
(c) Some argue that the trend toward adoption of international
accounting standards represents a move toward more “principle-based”

standards. Are there dangers in removing “bright-line” rule? What
difficulties might be associated with such a change?
(a) What are the auditor independence issues surrounding the provision
of external auditing services, internal auditing services, and
management consulting services for the same client?
(b) Develop arguments for why auditors should be allowed to perform
these services for the same client.
(c) Develop separate arguments for why auditors should not be allowed
to perform non-auditservices for their audit clients. What is your view,
and why?
(a) A perceived lack of integrity caused irreparable damage to both
Andersen and Enron. How can you apply the principles learned in this
case personally?
(b) Generate an example of how involvement in unethical or illegal
activities, or even the appearance of such involvement, might affect your
career.
(c) What are the possible consequences when others question your
integrity? What can you do to preserve your reputation throughoutyour
career?
7) Enron and Andersen suffered severe consequences because of their
perceived lack of integrity and damaged reputations. In fact, some
people believe the fall of Enron occurred because of a form of “run on
the bank.” Some argue that Andersen experienced a similar “run on the
bank” as many top clients quickly dropped the firm in the wake of
Enron’s collapse. Is the “run on the bank” analogy valid for both firms?
Why or why not?

8. Why do audit partners struggle with making tough accounting
decisions that may be contrary to their client’s position on an issue?
What changes should the profession make to eliminate these obstacles?
9. What has been done, and what more do you believe should be done to
restore the public trust in the auditing profession and in the nation’s
financial reporting system?
