The final materiality figure for the 2019 audit of Takunda (Pty) was set at R150 million. During the audit of Capital Assets, the auditors identified misstatements in the valuation of major moveable tangible assets. The financial reporting framework for Takunda requires that the company records assets on receipt of the item at cost of acquisition. Where the cost cannot be determined accurately, the asset should be stated at fair value. Where fair value cannot be determined, the asset should be included in the asset register at R1. Takunda’s major movable tangible assets as disclosed in the financial statements did not in all instances reflect the cost or fair value of the assets and consequently assets were overvalued by R193 million. Discuss the effect of the misstatement identified on the audit opinion

The accountant of Swift Inc. was preparing for the audit of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and discovered that an automobile was being incorrectly depreciated.
