(a) ‘Revenue recognition should always be approached as a high risk area of the audit.’
Required:
Discuss this statement. (6 marks)
(b) You are a manager in Beck & Co, responsible for the audit of Kobain Co, a new audit client of your firm, with a financial year ended 31 July 2012. Kobain Co’s draft financial statements recognise total assets of $55 million, and profit before tax of $15 million. The audit is nearing completion and you are rewiewing the audit files.
Kobain Co designs and creates high-value items of jewellery. Approximately half of the jewellery is sold in Kobain Co’s own retail outlets. The other half is sold by external vendors under a consignment stock arrangement, the terms of which specify that Kobain Co retains the ability to change the selling price of the jewellery, and that the vendor is required to return any unsold jewellery after a period of nine months. When the vendor sells an item of jewellery to a customer, legal title passes from Kobain Co to the customer.
On delivery of the jewellery to the external vendors, Kobain Co recognises revenue and derecognises inventory. At 31 July 2012, jewellery at cost price of $3 million is held at external vendors. Revenue of $4 million has been recognised in respect of this jewellery.
Required:
Comment on the matters that should be considered, and explain the audit evidence you should expect to find in your file review in respect of the consignment stock arrangement. (6 marks)

The sales representative started to work at Jarvis Co in January 2012. The forensic investigation department of your firm has been engaged to quantify the amount of the fraud.
Required:

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted
(a) You are an audit manager in Weller & Co, an audit firm which operates as part of an international network of firms. This morning you received a note from a partner regarding a potential new audit client:
‘I have been approached by the audit committee of the Plant Group, which operates in the mobile telecommunications sector. Our firm has been invited to tender for the audit of the individual and group financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2013, and I would like your help in preparing the tender document. This would be a major new client for our firm’s telecoms audit department.
The Plant Group comprises a parent company and six subsidiaries, one of which is located overseas. The audit committee is looking for a cost effective audit, and hopes that the strength of the Plant Group’s governance and internal control mean that the audit can be conducted quickly, with a proposed deadline of 31 May 2013. The Plant Group has expanded rapidly in the last few years and significant finance was raised in July 2012 through a stock exchange listing.’
Required:
Identify and explain the specific matters to be included in the tender document for the audit of the Plant Group. (8 marks)
(b) Weller & Co is facing competition from other audit firms, and the partners have been considering how the firm’s revenue could be increased. Two suggestions have been made: 1. Audit partners and managers can be encouraged to sell non-audit services to audit clients by including in their remuneration package a bonus for successful sales. 2. All audit managers should suggest to their audit clients that as well as providing the external audit service, Weller & Co can provide the internal audit service as part of an ‘extended audit’ service. Required: Comment on the ethical and professional issues raised by the suggestions to increase the firm’s revenue. (8 marks)
