5 accounting questions due today. Questions are not related, and should be answered separately with the correlating question number on top. References are required.

Q1

Is there anything a company can do for employees to reduce the risk of unethical behavior causing harm or even a public relations disaster?

Q2

Involved in risk management are safety concerns not only for the employees but for the business as well. Discuss some of the ways a company can prepare the business for a natural disaster. Also, what can the business do for the employees?

Q3

It is a specific requirement of ISA 315 that the auditor obtains an understanding of the internal control relevant to the audit. This is a crucial step in assessing the risk of material misstatement, as one of the components of audit risk is control risk, defined as the risk that a misstatement that could occur will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis by the entity’s internal control. An important part of assessing the risk of material misstatement is that the risks identified should be prioritized. This is because ISA 315 determines that risks which are identified as being significant risks require special audit consideration. It is a matter of judgment as to whether a risk constitutes a significant risk, and matters such as the complexity of the transaction, whether there is a risk of fraud, the involvement of related parties, and whether the transaction is outside the normal course of business should be considered. (ISA 315.28) Any thoughts?

Q4

As we continue to discuss the audit risk model one area that should not be overlooked is engagement risk. This risk is directly associated with the business risk of the client and this risk is used in the initial planning stages to modify acceptable audit risk.

Engagement risk is the risk that an auditor, of firm, will suffer harm after the completion of the audit. The audit report could very well be accurate, but the auditor must consider the clients business risk in setting an acceptable level of audit risk. As we know, clients can have an favorable audit report and then not meet business objectives which in turn may cause hardship, for example, suffering a serious loss and then declaring bankruptcy. This may subject the auditor to lawsuits from the users of the audit report.

Engagement risk can be modified based on the acceptable audit risk that is also modified during the course of an audit. This also plays into the notion that having experienced auditors who will modify the audit based on changes in risk levels is so important. Any thoughts?

Q5

In 2013, COSO issued an update of its framework to include 17 principles. Can any one search and present theses principles to us.

You have been approached by a potential customer who could bring considerable business. She says, “I’d like to find an alternative vendor for my future orders of 5,000/yr., but their pricing to me must be competitive.”

Your CFO has supplied you with the following information. Current product standard costs are as follows:

• $1,400/unit direct material
• $400/unit direct labor
• $200/unit variable overhead
• $200/unit fixed overhead (this figure is the result of budgeted fixed overhead of $2,000,000 and budgeted sales volume of 10,000 units)

The board of directors requests a quick but thorough presentation to determine whether taking on this potential customer is a good idea. Assume that your factory is fully operational and that you will not have any learning curve impacts. Answer the board’s following questions based on data from the CFO:

1. What is meant by budget variance?
2. What is an effective way to incorporate variance analysis into the budget process?
3. What are the differences between labor and material variances?
4. How is a quantity variance different from a rate variance?
5. What are the subcomponents of fixed overhead?
6. What are the subcomponents of variable overhead?
7. What is the lowest possible price you could offer to this potential customer (You know that we have sufficient capacity, without working overtime and without adding any new equipment, to make this order)? Please show the calculations.
8. In terms of capacity, under what conditions would offering this lowest possible price be a bad decision? Why?
9. You have been considering investing in automation to eliminate some factory labor if you get this large order. This technology advancement will cost an added $100,000/yr. to lease (net of taxes), but it will reduce labor cost/unit on the customer’s units by 50%. How would this change the lowest possible price you could offer to this potential customer and at least still break even? Please show the calculations.

You have been reading about current fraud cases in the news to keep up-to-date on the latest fraud schemes. Read the following case summary and then answer the questions that follow.

Case summary: An employee of Furniture World, a retail outlet based in North Carolina, has been charged with theft for allegedly embezzling over $250,000 from the company. Elizabeth Pine, 52, is scheduled to make her initial court appearance on Wednesday. According to Police Detective Dick Berry, Pine was Furniture World’s payroll clerk and was a trusted employee for over 15 years. Pine’s fraudulent activities, which included arranging payments for fictitious employees, had taken place over the last 16 months. The payments were electronically deposited into bank accounts controlled by Pine, Berry reported. Berry said the fraud was discovered when the company accountant had trouble reconciling the company’s accounts. An internal audit revealed several names on the payroll that did not have valid Social Security numbers. The company subsequently contacted police for help in the investigation. Berry also reported that Pine was recently divorced, has three children to support, and has several credit cards with high balances. Berry added that Pine has resigned from the company and intends to pay the money back.
