- Your client, Daves Sport Shop, sells sports equipment and clothing in three retail outlets in New York City. During 2019, the CFO decided that keeping track of inventory using a combination of QuickBooks and spreadsheets was not an efficient way to manage the stores inventories. So Daves purchased an inventory management system for 9,000 that allowed the entity to keep track of inventory, as well as automate ordering and purchasing, without replacing QuickBooks for its accounting function. The CFO would like to know whether the cost of the inventory management program can be expensed in the year of purchase. Write a letter to the CFO, Cassandra Martin, that addresses the tax treatment of purchased software. Cassandras mailing address is 867 Broadway, New York, NY 10003.arrow_forwardA company is trying to set up proper internal controls for their accounts payable/inventory purchasing system. Currently the purchase order is generated by the same person who receives the inventory. Together the purchase order and the receiving ticket are sent to accounts payable for payment. What changes would you make to improve the internal control structure? A. No changes would be made since the person paying the bills is different from the person ordering the inventory. B. The person in accounts payable should generate the purchase order. C. The person in accounts payable should generate the receiving ticket once the invoice from the supplier is received. D. The responsibilities of generating the purchase order and receiving the inventory should be separated among two different people.arrow_forwardA manufacturing plant was finding a huge increase in the scrapping of raw materials. Its internal controls were reviewed, and the plant appeared to be strong; segregation of duties was in place. As the accountant was reconciling some inventory accounts, she found more than a normal amount of scrap tickets. The tickets were for scrapping the same inventory part, signed by the same person, and the scrap was sold to only one company. The inventory item was still being ordered, and only one supplier was used to purchase the parts. After further investigation by the accountant, the company buying the inventory and the company selling the inventory to the company had different names but shared the same address. Comment on what went wrong. What happened to the internal controls the company had in place?arrow_forward
- On January 2nd as an audit assistant at a local accounting firm, you are assigned to finish off the workpapers of an inventory audit observation that the accounting firm took part in on December 31st. The client is a retailer selling clothing, small appliances and other small electronic devices. The Accounting Manager has shared with you detailed schedules of the inventory on hand at December 31st, as well as other information about inventory transactions that have taken place within the last week which support the determination that a good inventory cutoff calculation was done as it relates to goods in transit. You are satisfied with the accuracy of the count and the determination of the balances at December 31st. While you are finishing up your inventory workpapers the Accounting Manager shared with you that the company is very careful to evaluate the NRV of its inventory at year-end to determine if any write-downs may be necessary.

During the auditor interim visit, the result of the last physical count is reviewed. It appears that several numbers of high-value items included in the records were not counted. Also, returns to the supplier are deducted from the physical inventory but are not recorded in the inventory records. Required: State the points of concern in your report to management with respect to the control issues and comment on their possible impact on your year-end audit work by identifying: a) weaknesses b) risks, and c) give recommendations.arrow_forwardJason Tierro, an inventory clerk at Lexmar Company, is responsible for taking a physical count of the goods on hand at the end of the year. He has been performing this duty for several years. This year, Jason was very busy due to a shortage of personnel at the company, so he decided to just estimate the amount of ending inventory instead of doing an accurate count. He reasoned that he could come very close to the true amount because of his past experience working with inventory. Besides, he was sure that the sophisticated computer program that Lexmar had just invested in kept an accurate record of inventory on hand. What is your opinion of Jason's reasoning? If Jason underestimated the dollar amount of ending inventory, what effect will it have on net income for the current accounting period?

- Shortly after the end of the fiscal year, the company performs a physical count of the inventory. When Margie compares the physical count to the balance in the inventory account, she finds a significant amount of inventory shrinkage. The amount is so large that it will result in a significant drop in earnings this period. Margie’s boss asks her not to make the adjusting entry for shrinkage this period. He assures her that they will get “caught up” on shrinkage in the next period, after the pressure is off to reach this period’s earnings goal. Margie’s boss asks her to do this as a personal favor to him. Should the inventory shrinkage be ignored? How will the income statement and balance sheet be effected if the adjustment is not made? What should Margie do in this situation? Why?arrow_forwardYou are asked to travel to Milwaukee to observe and verify the inventory of the Milwaukee branch of one of your clients.

He responds, “We are not going to include the contents in the inventory.” Later in the day, you ask the bookkeeper for the invoice on the carload and the related freight bill.
