SUBSTANTIVE TESTS OF LIABILITIES

a.

Accounts receivable – the auditor’s objective is to test the existence of accounts receivable. Accounts payable – the auditor’s objective is to test the completeness of accounts payable.

b.

Accounts receivable – In selecting accounts for confirmation, auditors focus on a variety of characteristics, including  high-volume vendors.  high-value accounts.  accounts significantly smaller than in a previous period.  small or zero-balance accounts. Accounts payable – In selecting accounts for confirmation, auditors focus on large, small, or dormant accounts and on vendors the client starts using around year end.

16-2.

c.

Basic information included on the confirmation requests is the same for accounts receivable and for accounts payable.

d.

Procedures for mailing are substantially the same for accounts receivable and for accounts payable.

e.

For accounts receivable, an auditor examines documentary evidence that indicates the customer was shipped goods and ultimately paid for them. For accounts payable, if the objective of the confirmation process is to test the existence of a payable and the vendor does not respond, the auditor should attempt to verify existence of the liability by performing tests such as examining the purchase order, the receiving report, and the vendor’s invoice for the transaction. If the objective is to test completeness, the auditor should reconcile accounts payable or reconcile to subsequent payments.

a.

The auditor should perform the following procedures:  Trace balance per confirmation request to confirmation of the supplier / creditor.  Trace balance per general ledger to subsidiary ledger.  Trace payments made to cash payments journal and paid checks.  For invoices not received at December 31, 2015, determine invoice date.

16-2

Applied Auditing 2014 Edition Solutions Manual   

16-3.

For goods shipped FOB destination, examine invoice to determine terms. For goods shipped FOB shipping point, examine shipping document. Ask client to explain unlocated differences, and then follow up to determine that the client’s explanation was valid.

b.

For accounts not confirmed, the auditor should substantiate that a shipment was received by examining the receiving report, the invoice copy, and subsequent payment if possible.

c.

The accounts payable clerk should not routinely perform the reconciliation of monthly statements to the listing of accounts or vouchers payable. Whether the accounts payable clerk or another employee performs the activity, the auditor must substantiate the validity of the explanations.

a.

The accounts payable audit procedures should be directed toward searching for proper inclusion of all accounts payable (completeness) and ascertaining that recorded amounts are reasonably stated (valuation), because the primary audit purpose is to reveal any possible material understatements. The principal objectives of the accounts payable examination are  to determine the adequacy of internal control for processing and payment of invoices.  to prove that amounts shown on the balance sheet are in agreement with supporting accounting records.  to determine that liabilities existing at the balance sheet date have been recorded.

b.

Tan is not required to use accounts payable confirmation procedures. Unlike accounts receivable, accounts payable require no opinions as to valuation. The auditor is required to obtain direct confirmation of accounts receivable, since the primary audit test is for possible material overstatements and the client usually has available only internal documents, such as sales invoices. For accounts payable, the auditor can examine external evidence, such as vendor invoices and vendor statements that substantiates the accounts payable balance. Although not required, accounts payable confirmation procedures are often used. The auditor might consider using them when  internal controls are weak.  the company is in a tight cash position, and bill paying is slow.  physical inventories exceed general ledger inventory balances by significant amounts.  certain vendors do not send statements.  vendor accounts are pledged by assets.  vendor accounts include unusual transactions.

Substantive Tests of Liabilities

16-3

c.

A selection technique using the large peso balances of accounts is generally used when the primary audit objective is to test for overstatements (e.g., accounts receivable audit work). Accounts with zero balances or relatively small balances would not be subjected to selection under such an approach. When auditing accounts payable, the auditor is primarily concerned with the possibility of unrecorded payables or understatement of recorded payables. Selection of accounts with relatively small or zero balances for confirmation is the more efficient direction of testing since understatements are more likely to be detected when examining such accounts. When selecting accounts payable for confirmation, the following procedures could be followed:  Analyze the accounts payable population and stratify it into accounts with large balances, accounts with small balances, and accounts with zero balances.  Use a sampling technique that selects items based on criteria other than the peso amount of the items (e.g., select based on terminal digits, select every nth item based on predetermined interval, etc.).  Design a statistical sampling plan that will place more emphasis on selecting accounts with zero balances or relatively small balances, particularly when the client has had substantial transactions with such vendors during the year.  Select prior-year vendors that are no longer used.  Select new vendors used in the subsequent period.  Select vendor that do not provide periodic statements.  Select accounts reflecting unusual transactions during the year.  Select accounts secured by pledged assets.

a.

The fact that the client made a journal entry to record vendors’ invoices that were received late should simplify the CPA’s test for unrecorded liabilities and reduce the possibility of the need for a further adjustment, but the CPA’s test is nevertheless required. Clients normally are expected to make necessary adjustments to their books so that the CPA can examine statements that the client believes are complete and correct. If the client has not journalized late invoices, the CPA is compelled to substantiate what ultimately will be recorded as an adjusting entry. In this examination, the CPA should test entries in the 2004 voucher register to ascertain that all items that – according to dates of receiving reports or vendors’ invoices – were applicable to 2015 have been included in the journal entry recorded by the client.

b.

No. The CPA should obtain a letter in which responsible executives of the client’s organization represent that to the best of their knowledge all liabilities have been recognized. However, this is done as a normal audit procedure to afford additional assurance to the CPA; it does not eliminate the need to perform his or her own tests.

16-4

Applied Auditing 2014 Edition Solutions Manual c.

Whenever a CPA is justified in relying on work done by an internal auditor, he or she should curtail (but not eliminate) his or her own audit work. In this case, the CPA should have ascertained early in the examination that Oracle’s internal auditor is qualified by being both technically competent and reasonably independent. Once satisfied on these points, the CPA should discuss the nature and scope of the internal audit program with the internal auditor and should review the working papers so that the CPA may properly coordinate his or her own program with that of the internal auditor. If the Oracle internal auditor is qualified and has made tests for unrecorded liabilities, the CPA can perform only a brief test in this audit area.

d.

Work done by an auditor for a government agency will normally have no effect on the scope of the CPA’s audit, since the concern of the government auditors is usually limited to matters unrelated to the financial statements. Nevertheless, the CPA should discuss the government auditor’s work program with her since there are isolated situations where specific procedures followed to a satisfactory conclusion by a government auditor will furnish the CPA with added assurance and therefore permit certain work in a particular area to be curtailed. However, government auditors are usually primarily interested in substantiating as valid and allowable those costs that a company has allocated against specific government contracts or sales to the government; consequently, there is little likelihood that the auditor for a government agency would check for unrecorded liabilities at Oracle.

e.

In addition to the 2016 voucher register, the CPA should consider the following sources for possible unrecorded liabilities:  Unentered vendors’ invoice file  Tax returns for prior years, the status of which is still open  Discussions with employees  Representations from management  Comparison of account balances with preceding-year balances  Examination of individual accounts during the audit  Existing contracts and agreements  Minutes of meetings  Attorneys’ bills and letters of representation  Status of renegotiable business  Correspondence with principal suppliers  Audit testing of cutoff date for reciprocal accounts (e.g., inventory, fixed assets)

AFC Manufacturing Requirement (a) It is essential to coordinate the cutoff tests with the physical observation of inventory. If the cutoff is inconsistent with the physical inventory there can be significant errors in the income statement and the balance sheet. For example, assume an inventory acquisition for P40,000 is received late in the afternoon of December 31, after the physical inventory is completed. If the acquisition is included in accounts payable and purchases but excluded from inventory, the result is an understatement of net earnings of P40,000. On the other hand, if the acquisition is excluded from both inventory and accounts payable, there is an error in the balance sheet, but the income statement is correct.

Requirement (c) Typically errors which have an effect on earnings are most important because of the importance of earnings to users of financial statements. Receiving report numbers 2633 and 2635 affect earnings. In addition, these errors are more important because they represent the recording of part of the entry. If they are not adjusted, the inventory balance the following year will be understated by P13,667.22 (P5,182.31 + P8,484.91). For the other three items (receiving report numbers 2632, 2634 and 2637), the error is less important because they would be recorded the following year and the account balances would then be proper.
