- Jamie is an auditor. While preparing to audit his client, Food Court, he finds a weakness in the company's internal control that might suggest that the company has a higher than normal risk, and revenue may have been recorded in the wrong period. Given this weakness, what information should be communicated to management?You are engaged to assist in the installation of a new computerized production system for your client. Because the firm did not have experienced staff available for the engagement, your firm assigned several newly hired staff assistants without sufficient supervision. As a result, the client incurred significant losses when the production system crashed, causing significant backlogs and lost production sales. What are the possible legal implications of this situation for your CPA firm?The public accounting firm of Hanson and Brown was expanding very rapidly. Consequently, it hired several staff assistants, including James Small. Subsequently, the partners of the firm became dissatisfied with Small’s production and warned him that they would be forced to discharge him unless his output increased significantly. At that time, Small was engaged in audits of several clients. He decided that, to avoid being fired, he would reduce or omit entirely some of the required auditing procedures listed in the audit plan prepared by the partners. One of the public accounting firm’s non-SEC clients, Newell Corporation, was in serious financial difficulty and had adjusted several of its accounts being examined by Small to appear financially sound. Small prepared fictitious working papers in his home at night to support purported completion of auditing procedures assigned to him, although he in fact did not examine the Newell adjusting entries. The public accounting firm rendered an…
- Mr. Arty works for Smile Accounting Firm as a senior accountant. Currently, he is doing a review of rental property compliance testing of rental receipts and expenses of the property owned by the client. He determines that the staff accountants tested only two tenants per property, instead of the three required by the audit program based on materiality considerations. However, to request more information from the client would cause massive delays, and the manager on the engagement is pressing hard for the information now. The manager did approach the client, who stated that she “needed the report yesterday.” The manager reminds Arty that no problems were found from the testing of the two properties, in past years the workpapers called for just two properties to be reviewed, the firm has never had any accounting issues with respect to the client, and he is confident the testing is sufficient.
