The factories all produced the same item, which contributed 10% of Alpha Co’s total revenuefor the year ended 30 September 2007 (2006 – 23%). The closure has been discussed accurately and fully in thechairman’s statement and Directors’ Report. However, the closure is not mentioned in the notes to the financialstatements, nor separately disclosed on the financial statements.The audit senior has proposed an unmodified audit opinion for Alpha Co as the matter has been fully addressed inthe chairman’s statement and Directors’ Report.In October 2007 a legal claim was filed against Deema Co, a retailer of toys. The claim is from a customer who slippedon a greasy step outside one of the retail outlets. The matter has been fully disclosed as a material contingent liabilityin the notes to the financial statements, and audit working papers provide sufficient evidence that no provision isnecessary as Deema Co’s lawyers have stated in writing that the likelihood of the claim succeeding is only possible.The amount of the claim is fixed and is adequately covered by cash resources.The audit senior proposes that the audit opinion for Deema Co should not be qualified, but that an emphasis of matterparagraph should be included after the audit opinion to highlight the situation.Hugh Co was incorporated in October 2006, using a bank loan for finance. Revenue for the first year of trading is$750,000, and there are hopes of rapid growth in the next few years. The business retails luxury hand made woodentoys, currently in a single retail outlet. The two directors (who also own all of the shares in Hugh Co) are aware thatdue to the small size of the company, the financial statements do not have to be subject to annual external audit, butthey are unsure whether there would be any benefit in a voluntary audit of the first year financial statements. Thedirectors are also aware that a review of the financial statements could be performed as an alternative to a full audit.Hugh Co currently employs a part-time, part-qualified accountant, Monty Parkes, who has prepared a year endbalance sheet and income statement, and who produces summary management accounts every three months.Required:(a) Evaluate whether the audit senior’s proposed audit report is appropriate, and where you disagree with theproposed report, recommend the amendment necessary to the audit report of:(i) Alpha Co; (6 marks)

Data from each location is amalgamated on a monthly basis at Tirrol Co’s head office to produce management and financial accounts.You are currently planning your audit approach for Tirrol Co. One option being considered is to re-write Cal Co’s audit software to interrogate the computerised inventory systems in each location of Tirrol Co (except for head office)as part of inventory valuation testing.

You are an audit manager at Rockwell Co, a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants. You are responsible for the audit of the Hopper Group, a listed audit client which supplies ingredients to the food and beverage industry worldwide.The audit work for the year ended 30 June 2015 is nearly complete, and you are reviewing the draft audit report which has been prepared by the audit senior. During the year the Hopper Group purchased a new subsidiary company, Seurat Sweeteners Co, which has expertise in the research and design of sugar alternatives. The draft financial statements of the Hopper Group for the year ended 30 June 2015 recognise profit before tax of $495 million (2014 – $462 million) and total assets of $4,617 million (2014: $4,751 million). An extract from the draft audit report is shown below:Basis of modified opinion (extract)In their calculation of goodwill on the acquisition of the new subsidiary, the directors have failed to recognise consideration which is contingent upon meeting certain development targets. The directors believe that it is unlikely that these targets will be met by the subsidiary company and, therefore, have not recorded the contingent consideration in the cost of the acquisition. They have disclosed this contingent liability fully in the notes to the financial statements. We do not feel that the directors’ treatment of the contingent consideration is correct and, therefore, do not believe that the criteria of the relevant standard have been met. If this is the case, it would be appropriate to adjust the goodwill balance in the statement of financial position.We believe that any required adjustment may materially affect the goodwill balance in the statement of financial position. Therefore, in our opinion, the financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Hopper Group and of the Hopper Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.Emphasis of Matter ParagraphWe draw attention to the note to the financial statements which describes the uncertainty relating to the contingent consideration described above. The note provides further information necessary to understand the potential implications of the contingency.Required:(a) Critically appraise the draft audit report of the Hopper Group for the year ended 30 June 2015, prepared by the audit senior.Note: You are NOT required to re-draft the extracts from the audit report. (10 marks)(b) The audit of the new subsidiary, Seurat Sweeteners Co, was performed by a different firm of auditors, Fish Associates. During your review of the communication from Fish Associates, you note that they were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence with regard to the breakdown of research expenses. The total of research costs expensed by Seurat Sweeteners Co during the year was $1·2 million. Fish Associates has issued a qualified audit opinion on the financial statements of Seurat Sweeteners Co due to this inability to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence.Required:Comment on the actions which Rockwell Co should take as the auditor of the Hopper Group, and the implications for the auditor’s report on the Hopper Group financial statements. (6 marks)(c) Discuss the quality control procedures which should be carried out by Rockwell Co prior to the audit report on the Hopper Group being issued. (4 marks)
