CHAPTER 7 HOMEWORK QUESTIONS
7-2
Describe how the terms likelihood and magnitude play a role in evaluating the significance of a control
deficiency.
Likelihood refers to if an event is a “reasonable possibility” if it is either reasonably possible or probable
for the control deficiency to result in a material misstatement. With magnitude, determining a financial
statement that might result from a control deficiency requires a great deal of professional judgement. 7-12
Describe what is meant when management remediates a material weakness. If a material weakness is
remediated and sufficiently tested before the “as of” date, what can management assert about ICFR?
Explain why.
Remediation occurs when an entity recognizes a substantial vulnerability and takes actions to address it.
If management corrects a major weakness before the "as of" date, and both management and the
auditor can satisfactorily evaluate the control's operational effectiveness, management can claim that
ICFR is effective.
CASE 5.6 PART B
2a
Sarbox’s revenue recognition policy requires that all non-routine sales (i.e. sales to clients other than
dealerships) receive authorization from management in order to verify proper pricing and terms of sale.
However, after examining a sample of non-routine sales records you find that this control is not closely
adhered to and that sales representatives offered discounts or altered sales terms that were not
properly recorded in Sarbox’s records. As a result, in instances when the control is not followed the
recorded sales prices tend to be too high and/or terms are not correctly reflected in the sales invoice
and the customers complain. In some situations, customers have cancelled orders due to the over-billing
or changed sales terms. Non-routine sales represent about 10% of Sarbox’s sales revenue. From your
sample testing of the authorization control, you find that the control doesn’t operate 4% of the time,
with an upper bound of 9% (i.e., based on your sample, you can be 95% confident that the exception
rate does not exceed 9%). Using Delmoss Watergrant’s policy for evaluating control deficiencies (See Appendix B), determine if the
above deficiency represents a control deficiency, a significant deficiency, or a material weakness. Please
justify your answer. It represents a significant deficiency because The possibility of misstatement in non-routine sales, which
account for 10% of Sarbox's sales revenue, results in this issue having be addressed to assure the
accuracy and integrity of financial reporting.
