Sycamore is a pharmaceutical company, which manufactures and supplies a wide range of medical supplies. The draft financial statements show revenue of $35.6 million and profit before tax of $5.9 million.

Sansone Construction builds light commercial real estate properties. This year they started a new project that is three times larger than previous projects completed by the company, and is the first one that will take more than one year to complete.

- Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and explain your reasoning. Teresa Dziuba was assigned to the Heathcliff Energy audit. She was ensuring that when recognizing revenues, all transactions and events that should have been recorded have been recorded. She was testing the existence assertion. Assume materiality for the financial statements as a whole is $200,000 and performance materiality for accounts receivable is set at $80,000. If the auditor finds one receivable that is overstated by $110,000, the auditor can ignore the error as it is less than $200,000 (overall materiality).
