Kasus 18 32

18-32 (Objectives 18-2, 18-3, 18-4, 18-6) The following tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions audit procedures for acquisitions and cash disbursements are to be used in the audit of Ward Publishing Company. You concluded that internal control appears eective and a reduced assessed control risk is likely to be cost benecial. Ward!s active involvement in the business" good separation of duties" and a competent controller and other employees are factors aecting your opinion.

Control deviations Lonetary misstatements

Eonstatistical approachA Iecause C?75 under nonstatistical sampling is estimated using auditor 4udgment" students! answers to this question will vary. They will most likely be similar to the C?75s calculated using attributes sampling. Iecause the &75 is >ero for attributes +.a." +.b.%)0,%60" and +.b.%90,%**0" it is unlikely that students will estimate C?75 greater than the T75 of @ %tests of controls0 or '@ %substantive tests of transactions0. 3or attribute +.b. %0 students should conclude that the results are not acceptable because the &75 of *)@ clearly e8ceeds the T75 of @. 3or attribute +.b.%'0" even though the &75 equals the T75 of '@" the results are not acceptable because sampling error must be considered in determining C?75. 3or attribute +.b.%*0" students! estimates of C?75 will be more variable since the &75 is only )@. &ome students will nd the results acceptable" and some will not" depending on their estimates of sampling error. b. 78ception * is not an e8ception" and has no eect on tests of details of accounts payable. 78ception ) is a control deviation. 7ven though it is not a monetary misstatement" controls require the presence of all supporting documents before a purchase and the related disbursement are processed. $f an invalid purchase is recorded" the liability and the related debited account may be overstated. $f an invalid disbursement is recorded" accounts payable may be inappropriately reduced.  Thus" misstatements in the occurrence of those transactions could actually result in both overstatements and understatements of accounts payable.  Tests for occurrence include tracing items on the accounts payable listing

to supporting documents and conrmation of accounts payable and reconciliation to vendorNs statements. 78ception ( is a control deviation where one,half of those items also contain monetary misstatements. Lisclassication is a serious misstatement. Fowever" it relates to the de bit entry" not the credit to accounts payable. Tests supporting charges to assets and e8pense accounts will need to be increased" but tests of accounts payable will probably not be aected. c. Hn the following page is an audit program for accounts payable. The balance,related audit ob4ectives tested by each procedure are indicated. Iecause the appropriate audit risk for accounts payable is high and inherent risk is low" and because analytical review procedures were e8cellent" detailed tests should be held to a minimum. The e8ception to this is for procedure (D this has not been reduced because of the e8ception in procedure +.b.%*0
