AUDITING PROBLEMS Accounting for Changes and Correction of Errors

Prof . L.O.

__ Definition of Terms • Accounting policies specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices adopted by an enterprise in preparing and presenting the financial statements. • Fundam e n t a l errors are errors discovered in the current period with such significance, that the financial statements of one or more prior periods can no longer be considered to have been reliable at the date of their issue. Reasons why Accounting Changes Occur : 1. The accounting profession may mandate that a new accounting principle is to be used. 2. Changing economic conditions 3. Changes in technology and in operations 4. New experience or new information may prompt companies to change its estimate of revenues or expenses. TYPES OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES 1. Change in Accounting Principles This is a change from one generally accepted accounting principle to another generally accepted accounting principle. Adoption of a new principle in recognition of events that have occurred for the 1st time is not a change in accounting principle. There is no change in accounting principle when the depreciation method adopted for a newly acquired asset is different from the method or methods used for previously recorded assets of similar class. A change from a principle that is not generally accepted to one that is generally accepted is considered to be an error correction than a change in accounting principle. Accounting Procedur e: Benchm ar k trea t m e n t A change in accounting policy/principle should be applied retroactively unless the amount of any resulting adjustment that relates to prior periods is not reasonably determinable. Any resulting adjustment should be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of the retained earnings. Comparative information should be restated unless it is impracticable to do so. 2.

Change in Accounting Estimat e This is a change that occur as a result of new information or acquisition of additional experience. Changes in estimates are viewed as normal recurring corrections and adjustments or the natural result of the accounting process. Retroactive treatment is prohibited. Accounting Procedur e: a. Report current and future financial statements on the new basis.

2 b. c.

Present prior period financial statements as previously reported. Make no adjustment to current period opening balances.

NOTE: Whenever it is impossible to determine whether a change in principle or a change in estimate has occurred, or if an asset is affected by both a change in principle and a change in estimate during the same period, the change should be accounted for as a change in estimate rather than a change in principle. CORRECTION OF ERRORS No company whether large or small is immune from errors. Errors may be intentional or unintentional. Intentional errors are significant because of the presence of fraud or intent to deceive. These errors are made for the purpose of concealing fraud or misappropriation, evading taxes, manipulating or windowdressing the company's financial statements. Unintentional errors were not deliberately committed. They result from carelessness or ignorance on the part of the company's personnel or it may result from poor internal control. The risk of material errors may be minimized through the installation of good internal control and the application of sound accounting procedures. Prior period adjustments, also called fundamental errors are reported in the current year as adjustment in the beginning balance of the Retained Earnings account. Prior period statements should be restated to correct the error when comparative statements are prepared. Accounting Procedur e: 1. If detected in the period the error occurred, correct the accounts through normal accounting cycle adjustments. 2. If detected in subsequent period, adjust errors by making prior period adjustments directly to Retained Earnings or restate the beginning balance of the Retained Earnings account. 3. Correct all previously presented prior period statements. Examples of Accounting errors: a. A change from an accounting principle that is not generally accepted to an accounting principle that is generally accepted. b. Mathematical mistakes c. Mistake in the application of accounting of accounting principle d. Oversight e. Misuse of facts f. Incorrect classification of expense as an asset or vice versa g. Changes in estimates which are not prepared in good faith TYPES OF ERRORS 1. Balance Sheet Errors This type of error refers to improper classification of real accounts such as assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity accounts. They have no effect on net income 2. Income Stat e m e n t Errors This type of error affects only the presentation of nominal accounts in the Income Statement. It involves the improper classification of revenues and expenses accounts, hence, only the details of the Income Statement are misstated. A reclassifying entry is necessary only if the error is discovered in the same year it is committed. It has no effect on the Balance sheet and in the Income Statement. If the error is discovered in a subsequent year, no classification entry is necessary. 3. Combined Balance Sheet and Income Stat e m e n t errors This affects both the balance Sheet and the Income Statement because they result in the misstatement of net income.

3 Classifications of Combined Balance Sheet and Income State m e n t Errors: a. Count er Balancing Errors • Errors which if not detected are automatically offset or corrected over two periods. Restat e m e n t is necessary even if a correcting journal entry is not required. • Effect: Net Income of two successive periods are misstated. The amount of misstatement in one period is equal to but opposite in effect in the income of the next period. • Counterbalancing errors include the misstatements of the following accounts: 1. Inventories to include the following a. Purchases b. Sales 2. Prepaid expenses 3. Deferred Income 4. Accrued expense 5. Accrued Income GUIDELINES • Books are open 1. If the error is already counterbalanced and the company is in the second year, an entry is necessary to correct the current period and to adjust the beginning balance of the Retained earnings. 2. If the error is not yet counterbalanced, an entry is necessary to adjust the beginning balance of the Retained earnings and correct the current period. • Books are closed 1. If the error is already counterbalanced, no entry is necessary. 2. If the error is not yet counterbalanced, an entry is necessary to adjust the present balance of the Retained earnings. b.

Non Count er Balancing Errors • Errors which take longer than two periods to correct themselves. This type of error is carried over to the subsequent accounting period until corrected or until the balance sheet item involved is removed from the accounts by sales, retirement or other means of disposal.

GUIDELINES IN ERROR ANALYSIS 1. What accounts are affected? 2. How were these accounts affected? Was there an understatement or an overstatement? 3. What was the erroneous entry made or what was the entry omitted? 4. What is the correct entry? 5. What is the necessary adjusting or correcting entry? END

PROBLEM 1 In your examination of the financial statements of GRISHAM CORP., for the year ended December 31, 2004, you discovered the following errors. Prepare the necessary adjusting entries. 1. Interest collection from a notes receivable amounting to P3,500 which was received on December 30, 2004 was deposited and recorded on the same day by a credit to sales.

A staled check of P12,000 which had been outstanding for more than six months was included in the list of outstanding checks. This was in payment of Accounts Payable Payment of P4,500 for freight charges on merchandise purchased on December 18, 2004 was debited to freight out account. On December 31, 2003, the physical count was overstated by P5,000. Improvements on building of P100,000 had been charged to expense on January 01, 2004. Improvements have a life of 5 years. GRISHAM CORP. issued 5,000 shares of P 100 par value capital stock for P550,000 on January 14, 2003. The proceeds were credited to the Capital Stock account. On January 01, 2004, an equipment costing P70,000 was sold for P35,000. At the date of sale, the equipment has an accumulated depreciation of P43,750. The cash received was recorded as other income in 2004.

8.

A P15,000 collection from Smart Co. was correctly recorded in the general ledger but was erroneously credited to the subsidiary ledger account of Smurf Corp. 9. Insurance premium of P45,000 for three years paid in January 2003 was charged to expenses in 2003. 10. On December 31, 2003, goodwill estimated by the Board of Directors at P300,000 was set up by a credit to Retained Earnings. 11. On December 29, 2004, GRISHAM CORP. issued checks to its creditors amounting to P75,000. These checks were released on January 4, 2005. 12. A check for P20,000 from a customer to apply to his account was received on December 30, 2004 but was not recorded until January 4, 2005. 13.

On the last day of 2004, the company received a P90,000 prepayment from a tenant for 2005 rent of a building. It was recorded as rent revenue. PROBLEM 2 In early 2005, while reviewing KEVIN INC.’s 2004 financial records, KEVIN INC.s accountant discovered several errors. For each of the error listed below, indicate the effect on net income for both 2003 and 2004 and the necessary adjusting entries, assuming : a. books are still open b. books are already closed 1. KEVIN INC. frequently borrows from the bank in order to maintain sufficient operating cash. The following loans were at 12% interest rate, with interest payable at maturity. KEVIN INC. repaid each loan on its scheduled maturity date. DATE OF LOAN AMOUNT MATURITY DATE 11.01.03 50,000 10.31.04 02.01.04 150,000 07.31.04 05.01.04 80,000 01.31.05 KEVIN INC. records interest expense when the loans are repaid. As a result, interest expense of P15,000 was recorded in 2004 2. Pollution control devices costing P84,000 which is high in relation to the cost of the original equipment, were installed in 2003 and were charged to repairs in 2003. The original equipment referred to has a remaining useful life of 6 years on December 30, 2003 and is being depreciated using the straight line method. Assume tax rate of 32%.

5 3. KEVIN INC. receives subscription payments for annual (one year) subscriptions to its magazine. Payments are recorded as revenue when received. Amounts received but unearned at the end of each of the last three years are shown below. 2002 2003 2004 Unearned revenues P240,000 P300,000 P352,000 KEVIN INC. failed to record the unearned revenues in each of the three years. 4. KEVIN INC. has estimated bad debts using the percentage- of- sales method since their business began operations in 2002. Information relating to bad debts and sales is as follows: Estimated Bad Debt Expense Actual Year Sales (% of Sales) Bad Debts 2001 P 87,000 P2,610 P1,200 2002 123,000 3,690 2,850 2003 147,000 4,410 3,222 At the beginning of 2004, KEVIN INC. proposes changing their estimation of bad debt expense from 3 percent of sales to 2 percent. Sales for the year totaled P1,630,000 and actual bad debts amounted to P3,720. The company had already made an adjustment based on the old rate. 5. Beginning merchandise inventory (January 01, 2003) was understated by P8,640. 6. Merchandise costing P24,000 was sold for P40,000 on December 29, 2003 but the sale was recorded in 2004.

Equipment with a ten- year life was purchased on January 1, 2003, for P39,200. No depreciation expense was recorded during 2003 or 2004. Assume that the equipment has no salvage value and that KEVIN INC. uses the straight- line method for recording depreciation. 9. A two- year fire insurance policy was purchased on May 1, 2003, for P57,500. The entire amount was debited to Prepaid Insurance. No adjusting entry was made in 2003 or 2004. 10. Accrued expenses omitted at the end of the year are P43,000 in 2002, P43,000 in 2003 and P92,000 in 2004.

PROBLEM 4 An examination of the accounting records of Mervyn Company for the year ended December 31, 2004 indicated that several errors were committed as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4.

5.

Purchase of merchandise in the amount of P10,625 in 2003 was not recorded until the following year but was included in the year's inventory. In August 2004, an P8,750 invoice for office supplies was charged to purchases. Office supplies are expensed as purchased. Inventory on December 31, 2004 was overstated by P56,250. An equipment costing P125,000 and with an accumulated depreciation of P75,000 was sold for 68,750 on January 1, 2004. In addition, depreciation was recorded for the equipment for 2004 at the rate of 10%. Proceeds from sale was credited to the Equipment account. Footings and extensions showed that the inventory on December 31, 2003 was overstated by P 59,375.

Depreciation of equipment costing P15,000 bought on June 30, 2001 was computed based on an estimated useful life of 8 years. The engineers estimated that the useful life of the asset should be revised to 10 years effective 2004. The company still provided for depreciation based on the old estimate. Interest of P6,250 on notes receivable was not recognized on December 31, 2004. Sales on account of P25,000 in December 2004 were recorded in 2005. Taxes of P18,750 applicable for the fourth quarter of 2003 were paid and charged to expense on January 20, 2004. A fully depreciated machinery was sold on December 31, 2004 but the sale was not recorded until 2005. The proceeds from sales on this machinery costing P437,500 was P31,250. On December 20, 2003, a cash advance of P37,500 from a customer was received for goods to be delivered in January 2004. The amount of cash received was credited to sales. The company's gross profit is 20% of cost. Insurance premium for a three year period amounting to P15,000 was charged to expense on January 1, 2003 and no adjustment was made on year end. A collection of P31,250 from a customer was received on December 31, 2004 but not recorded until January 4, 2005. A customer's check of P8,750 was returned by the bank on November 3, 2004 due to lack of sufficient funds. Adjustment was made the following year. Depreciation computed on the building for the years 2003 and 2004 was overstated by P12,500 per year.

Records of Mervyn Company reported the following net Income. 2003 P 546,875 2004 625,000 REQUIREMENTS: 1. Prepare a worksheet showing the corrected income for 2003 and 2004. 2. Prepare the necessary adjusting entries on December 31, 2004 assuming: a. Books are still open b. Books are closed Problem 5 In early 2005, while reviewing THOMAS CORP.'s 2004 financial records, its accountant discovered several errors. For each of the error listed below, indicate the effect on net income for both 2003 and 2004 assuming no correction was made and the company uses the periodic system of inventory. 1.

2. 3. 4. 5.

Goods shipped to consignee amounting to P2,500 in 2003 were reported as sales. Goods in the hands of the consignee at the end of 2003 were not recognized for inventory purposes. Sale of such goods in 2004 and collections on such sales were recorded as credits to receivables established with consignees in 2003. Insurance costs incurred amounting to P15,000 but unpaid in 2003 were not recorded until paid in 2004. The total of one week's sales amounting to P2,250 in 2003 was credited to Gain on sales- Machineries 2003 year end purchases of P10,000 were not recorded until the beginning of 2004. The inventory associated with these purchases was omitted from the ending inventory count in 2003. Machinery was sold in May of 2004, but the company continued to deduct depreciation for the remainder of 2004 although the asset was removed from the books in May. Cost of the asset purchased in October of 2001 was P12,500 and estimated to have a useful life of 10 years, The company follows the straight line method of computing depreciation.

A check of P6,250 for January 2004 rent was received and recorded as revenue at the end of 2003. 7. 2003 year end purchase of P7,500 of inventory were not recorded until the beginning of 2004 although the inventory was correctly counted at the end of 2003. 8. Interest receivable of P1,500 in 2003 was not recorded until 2004. 9. Interest accrued of P4,000 in 2003 on a note payable was not recorded until it was paid in 2004. 10. Certain items of ending inventory amounting to P5,875 were accidentally not counted at the end of 2003. 11. Goods sold on account in 2003 amounting to P5,000 were not recorded as sales until 2004. 12. No depreciation amounting to P4,375 was taken in 2003 for equipment sold in April 2003. The company reports on a calendar year basis and computes depreciation to the nearest month. REQUIREMENTS: Determine the effect of the balance sheets and the income statement compute for the corrected income assuming 2003 P 2004

Requirem e n t s: Prepare a schedule to correct the reported net income for each year and the adjusting entries to correct the books at the end of 2004. Problem 7 1. MYSTERYSCOT MANUFACTURING purchased a machine on January 1, 2000 for P50,000. At the time, it was determined that the machine has an estimated useful life of 10 years and an estimated residual value of P2,000. The company used the double declining balance method of depreciation. On January 1, 2004, the company decided to change its depreciation method from double declining balance to straight line. The machine's remaining useful life was estimated to be 5 years with a residual value of P 1,000.

9 2. No allowance had been set up for estimated uncollectible receivables. The company decided to set up such an allowance for the estimated probable losses as of December 31, 2003, for 2003 accounts of P350 and for 2004 accounts of P750. It was also decided to correct the charge against each year so that it shows the losses (actual and estimated) relating to that year's sales. Accounts have been written off to bad debts expenses as follows: In 2003 In 200 4 2003 accounts P 200 P 1,000 2004 accounts 800 3. Equipment acquired by MYSTERYSCOT MANUFACTURING for P30,000 on June 30, 2002 was sold for P26,000 cash on July 1, 2004. The proceeds from the same were credited to the equipment account. The company depreciates equipment at 10% a year. Depreciation is taken up at year- end computed on a monthly basis. Depreciation of P1,600 was recorded in 2004. 4. On May 01, 2002, MYSTERYSCOT MANUFACTURING acquired a machine in exchange for 1,000 shares of its own P100 par value common stock having a fair market value of P120 on this date. The machine was recorded in the accounts at P100,000. Company policy is to take one half years depreciation on all asset acquisitions or disposals during the year. Machinery is depreciated on a straight line basis (no salvage value based on an estimated life of 10 years.) The company has recorded depreciation charge of P1,500 on this machine from acquisition to the end of the current period. 5. MYSTERYSCOT MANUFACTURING purchased a machine on January 1, 2001 for P1,500,000. At the date of acquisition, the machine had an estimated useful life of 6 years with no residual value. The machine is being depreciated on a straight- line basis. On January 1, 2004, management determined as a result of additional information, that the machine had an estimated useful life of 8 years from the date of acquisition with no residual value.
