[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

ACC 546 Case 3.3 The Anonymous Caller
For more course tutorials visit
www.acc546.com
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 Standards Board (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
Standards Codification 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
5. 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? PROFESSIONAL
JUDGMENT QUESTIONS It is recommended that you read the
6. Professional Judgment Introduction found at the beginning of the book
prior to responding to the following questions.
==============================================
ACC 546 Case 4.1 Enron Corporation & Andersen,
LLP
For more course tutorials visit
www.acc546.com
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
7. 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-audit services 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 throughout your 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?

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
10. Audit Summary (schedule C 3), briefly describe at least one additional
test you could perform to gain evidence as to whether or not the cash
account is materially misstated. [6] The AICPA and the American
Banker’s Association developed a standardized bank confirmation
form—see working paper C 6. What is the purpose for confirming
information in item number two on the bank confirmation form? Identify
the accounts and related audit assertion(s) to which the information in
item number two is relevant. [7] What audit procedures might you
perform if you were to decide that the risk of fraud involving the cash
account was relatively high for this client? [8] Perform an online search
for ―electronic bank confirmations.‖ Summarize in one page or less what
you learn about recent developments in the use of web-based bank
confirmations. Include a brief discussion of the advantages of electronic
confirmations in your write-up.

www.acc546.com
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
11. Standards Board (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 Standards Codification 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 about how 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
12. 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 It is
recommended that you read the Professional Judgment Introduction
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.

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).
13. [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 additional
procedures 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 It is recommended that
you read the Professional Judgment Introduction 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?

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?
