- Ray, the owner of a small company, asked Holmes, CPA, to conduct an audit of the company’s records. Ray told Holmes that the audit must be completed in time to submit audited financial statements to a bank as part of a loan application. Holmes immediately accepted the engagement and agreed to provide an auditor’s report within three weeks. Ray agreed to pay Holmes a fixed fee plus a bonus if the loan was granted. Holmes hired two accounting students to conduct the audit and spent several hours telling them exactly what to do. Holmes told the students not to spend time reviewing the controls but to concentrate on proving the mathematical accuracy of the ledger accounts and to summarize the data in the accounting records that support Ray’s financial statements. The students followed Holmes’ instructions and after two weeks gave Holmes the financial statements, which did not include footnotes because the company did not have any unusual transactions. Holmes reviewed the statements and prepared an unqualified auditor’s report. The report, however, did not refer to GAAP or to the year-to-year application of such principles. Briefly describe each of the ten standards included in the PCAOB guidance and indicate how the action(s) of Holmes resulted in a failure to comply with each standard.arrow_forwardReview the following transactions and prepare any necessary journal entries.

- Each year Susan Riley, president of Bargon Construction, Inc., takes a three-week vacation to Hawaii and signs several checks to pay major bills during the period in which she is absent. Riley’s vacation often occurs near the end of Bargon’s fiscal reporting period because it is a slack time for the construction business. Jack Morgan, head bookkeeper for the company, uses this practice to his advantage. He makes out a check to himself for the amount of a large vendor’s invoice and records it as a payment to the vendor for the purchase of supplies. He holds the check for several weeks to make sure the auditors will not examine the canceled check. Shortly after the first of the year, Morgan resubmits the invoice to Riley for payment approval and records the check in the cash disbursements journal.
