First, we conducted risk-based approach with data analysis techniques-unusual invoice and unusual comments, to identify the unusual items that are in the accounts receivable detailed listing, and tested whether there are invoices outside the expected range of invoice number and “special” comments associated with accounts receivable items.

Sales invoices are prepared in batches on a daily basis using numbered sales invoices. Sales invoice numbers are automatically generated by the company’s computer system. The accounts receivable clerk does not have appropriate computer rights to override the computer-generated invoice number. Upon preparing sales invoices, the accounts receivable clerk verifies that the first invoice number of the batch is consistent with the last invoice number of the previous batch. Inconsistencies or skipped sales invoice numbers are investigated and resolved before new sales invoices are prepared. The items shipped are compared to the items billed for proper quantity, price, and other sales order terms.

The sample size that I chose was determined by the factors of tolerable misstatement, inherent risk, control risk, achieved detection risk

I focussed on their policies for the offering and checking of credit, managing credit levels, charging the credit customers, receiving payment from credit customers and the general management of credit customers. I will be using the information from the interview with Colin as well as information from fictitious accounts receivable to explain their policies.

Moreover, from the analyse tab and the function “Age”, an aging of the Accounts Receivable was performed.

There are uncertainties in whether a receivable is sold or being used as a collateral for a loan. Thus, FASB has provided guidelines to distinguish between the two. FASB ASC 860-10-40-3 states that a financial asset should be considered sold and therefore should be derecognized if it is transferred and control is surrendered. Moreover, when control over the receivables is not surrendered, the transaction should be treated as a collateralized borrowing. FASB ASC 860-10-40 on the subject of conditions for a sale of financial assets states that a financial asset should be considered sold if it is transferred and control is surrendered.
