  and her son has just accepted a job offer from Hazard as a sales manager. This role would entitle him to shares in
  Hazard as part of his remuneration package.
  Hazard’s directors are considering establishing an internal audit department, and the finance director has asked the
  audit firm, Remy & Co about the differences between internal audit and external audit.
  If the internal audit department is established, and Remy & Co is appointed as internal as well as external auditors,
  then Hazard has suggested that the external audit fee should be renegotiated with at least 20% of the fee being based
  on the profit after tax of the company as they feel this will align the interests of Remy & Co and Hazard.
  Required:
  (a) Using the information above:
  (i) Explain the ethical threats which may affect the independence of Remy & Co in respect of the audit of
  Hazard Co; and (3 marks)
  (ii) For each threat explain how it might be reduced to an acceptable level. (3 marks)
  (b) Distinguish between internal and external audit. (4 marks)

  Its year end was 31 October 2014. You are the audit senior of Mario & Co and are currently preparing the audit
  programmes for the year end audit of Balotelli. You are reviewing the notes of last week’s meeting between the
  audit manager and finance director where two material issues were discussed.
  Depreciation
  Balotelli incurred significant capital expenditure during the year on updating the leisure facilities for the hotel. The
  finance director has proposed that the new leisure equipment should be depreciated over 10 years using the
  straight-line method.
  Food poisoning
  Balotelli’s directors received correspondence in September from a group of customers who attended a wedding
  at the hotel. They have alleged that they suffered severe food poisoning from food eaten at the hotel and are

  company is unlikely to be successful.

  two issues.

  You are the audit manager and the year-end audit is due to commence shortly. The following matter has been
  brought to your attention. Torres’s trade receivables have historically been low as most members pay monthly in
  advance. However during the year a number of companies have taken up group memberships at Torres and
  hence the receivables balance is now material. The audit senior has undertaken a receivables circularisation for
  the balances at the year end; however, there are a number who have not responded and a number of responses
  with differences.

  31 December 2014. The company produces printers and has been a client of your firm for two years; your audit
  manager has already had a planning meeting with the finance director. He has provided you with the following notes
  of his meeting and financial statement extracts.
  Walters’s management were disappointed with the 2013 results and so in 2014 undertook a number of strategies to
  improve the trading results. This included the introduction of a generous sales-related bonus scheme for their
  salesmen and a high profile advertising campaign. In addition, as market conditions are difficult for their customers,
  they have extended the credit period given to them.
  The finance director of Walters has reviewed the inventory valuation policy and has included additional overheads
  incurred this year as he considers them to be production related.
  The finance director has calculated a few key ratios for Walters; the gross profit margin has increased from 44·4% to
  52·2% and receivables days have increased from 61 days to 71 days. He is happy with the 2014 results and feels
  that they are a good reflection of the improved trading levels.

  86 Garcia International Co (Garcia) is a manufacturer of electrical equipment. It has factories across the country and its
  customer base includes retailers as well as individuals, to whom direct sales are made through their website. The
  company’s year end is 30 September 2014. You are an audit supervisor of Suarez & Co and are currently reviewing
  documentation of Garcia’s internal control in preparation for the interim audit.
  Garcia’s website allows individuals to order goods directly, and full payment is taken in advance. Currently the website
  is not integrated into the inventory system and inventory levels are not checked at the time when orders are placed.
  Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
  Goods are despatched via local couriers; however, they do not always record customer signatures as proof that the
  customer has received the goods. Over the past 12 months there have been customer complaints about the delay
  between sales orders and receipt of goods. Garcia has investigated these and found that, in each case, the sales order
  had been entered into the sales system correctly but was not forwarded to the despatch department for fulfilling.
  Garcia’s retail customers undergo credit checks prior to being accepted and credit limits are set accordingly by sales
  ledger clerks. These customers place their orders through one of the sales team, who decides on sales discount levels.
  Raw materials used in the manufacturing process are purchased from a wide range of suppliers. As a result of staff
  changes in the purchase ledger department, supplier statement reconciliations are no longer performed. Additionally,
  changes to supplier details in the purchase ledger master file can be undertaken by purchase ledger clerks as well as
  supervisors.
  In the past six months Garcia has changed part of its manufacturing process and as a result some new equipment
  has been purchased, however, there are considerable levels of plant and equipment which are now surplus to
  requirement. Purchase requisitions for all new equipment have been authorised by production supervisors and little
  has been done to reduce the surplus of old equipment.
  Required:
  (a) In respect of the internal control of Garcia International Co:
  (i) Identify and explain SIX deficiencies;
  (ii) Recommend a control to address each of these deficiencies; and
  (iii) Describe a test of control Suarez & Co would perform to assess if each of these controls is operating
  effectively.
  Note: The total marks will be split equally between each part (18 marks)
  (b) Describe substantive procedures Suarez & Co should perform at the year end to confirm plant and equipment
  additions. (2 marks)
