Audit Report Modifications
The final paper will be based on Appendix 6C Illustrative Audit
Case: Keystone Computers at pages 237-244 in your text. Write,
in outline format but in complete sentences, a 6 to 10 page audit
plan. It is recommended that you look at Figure 18.8 on page
708, which shows the control objectives related to accounts
receivable.
In your audit plan cover the steps necessary to determine if you
should select the client, the internal control procedures which
need to be reviewed, the substantive tests [using accounts
receivable a guide], and the final reporting steps. Based on the
actual facts in the case determine the emphasis you want to
place on various accounts. Also reflect back over your entire
accounting program and think about how the accounts are
interrelated. For example, when allowance for doubtful accounts
is credited the offset is to bad debt expense. Therefore one of
the steps should be to trace the debit side of the entry to the
balance for bad debt expense.

2. Make your comments as specific as possible. Rather than say
look for unusual entries, say look for entries from unusual
sources and rounded amounts with focus on those near an
accounting cut off. Use precise language. Rather than saying
you “vouched accounts payable,” say that you looked at the
item to determine that it was a bona fide business expense.
Remember to focus on the key audit objectives and support
needed after applying the audit risk model.
Remember, the purpose of the Final Paper is for you to
culminate the learning achieved in the course by describing
your understanding and application of knowledge in the field of
accounting.
The Final Paper should focus on real life, real time application
of topics covered in this course; the uses you have seen and the
uses you can envision. The paper must be submitted to your
instructor no later than the last day of class. Earlier submittal is
appreciated.
