Investing activities represent the purchase and sale of land, buildings,


equipment, and other assets not generally held for resale. In addition,
investing activities include the purchase and sale of financial instruments
not intended for trading purposes (discussed in chapter 18). Financing
activities include transactions and events whereby cash is obtained from or
repaid to creditors (debt financing) or owners (equity financing). Financing
activities would include, for example, acquiring debt, capital leases, issuing
bonds, or issuing preferred or common stock. Financing activities would
also include payments to retire debt, reacquiring stock (treasury stock), and
the payment of dividends.

17-12. a. There is considerable variation in the importance of long-term debt


in financial statements. In some companies with strong free cash
flows, debt is immaterial. In other companies, such as public utilities,
long-term debt may be more than 50% of total equities. Stockholder’s
equity is clearly material to the balance sheet. The income statement
effects and the effect of dividends on the retained earnings
statement is often material. Inherent risk for financing transactions is
generally moderate as transactions occur infrequently.

b. Following are several examples of analytical procedures and how


they might be used to identify potential misstatements in debt
financing transactions.

Ratio Audit Significance


Free Cash Flow Negative free cash flows indicate the need for, and
approximate amount of, expected financing to prevent
drawing down on cash or investments.
Ratio Audit Significance
Interest Bearing Debt Provides a reasonableness of the entity’s proportion of
to Total Assets debt that may be compared with prior years’ experience
or industry data.
Shareholders’ Equity Provides a reasonableness of the entity’s proportion of
to Total Assets equity that may be compared with prior years’ experience
or industry data.
Comparing Return If a company is able to generate a higher rate of return on
on Assets with the assets than its incremental cost of debt, this is a signal that
Incremental Cost of an entity may use debt financing to expand the assets and
Debt earnings of the entity.

Current Portion of A test of the entity’s ability to service its financing


Debt and Dividends obligations. Ratios less than 1.0 indicate potential liquidity
to Cash Flow from problems.
Operations
Times Interest Earned A test of the entity’s ability to generate earnings to cover
cost of debt service. Ratios less than 1.0 indicate that the
entity’s earnings are insufficient to cover financing costs.
Interest Expense to A reasonableness test of recorded interest expense that
Interest Bearing Debt should approximate the entity’s average cost of debt
capital.

18-1. The nature of investments in securities issued by other entities the ownership of
certificates of deposit, preferred and common stocks of other entities, and corporate and
government bonds. The audit area of investments in marketable securities interfaces with
two other cycles. The receipt of interest and dividends from investments relates to the
revenue cycle. The purchase of securities for cash pertains to cash disbursement
transactions in the expenditure cycle.

18-10. Cash accounts that should be included as cash balances on the balance sheet include
undeposited receipts on hand, cash in bank in general checking and saving accounts, and
imprest accounts such as petty cash and payroll bank account. Cash accounts that should
not be classified as cash balances on the sheet include certificates of deposit, bond
sinking fund cash, certain foreign currency balances, and other accounts that have
restrictions on their use. These accounts should be classified as investments.
18-16. a. Kiting is an irregularity in which a bank transfer is recorded as a deposit in the
receiving bank and is intentionally not recorded as a deduction from the bank on
which it is drawn. To illustrate, an unauthorized check is drawn on bank A to
cover a shortage in bank B. The check is included in the December 31 deposit of
bank B. However, no December book entries are made for the check on Bank A.

b. Kiting can be detected by (1) tracing bank transfers and (2) by using a bank cutoff
statement.

18-18 a. Lapping is an form of fraud that results in the deliberate misappropriation of cash
receipts. It may involve either a temporary or a permanent abstraction of cash
receipts for the personal use of the individual perpetrating the unauthorized act.

b. Lapping is usually associated with collections from customers, but it may also
involve other types of cash receipts. Conditions conducive to lapping exist when
an individual who handles cash receipts also maintains the accounts receivable
ledger.

19-1. The three categories of activities in completing the audit are (a) completing field work,
(b) evaluating the findings, and (c) communicating with the client.

19-3. a. Subsequent events are events that occur between the balance sheet date and the
issuance date of the auditor's report (which is not the same as the date of the
report) that may affect the financial statements on which the report is rendered.
The subsequent events period extends from the balance sheet date to the end of
field work on the engagement.

b. The types are:


 Type 1 consists of those events that provide additional evidence with respect to
conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and affect the estimates inherent
in the process
of preparing financial statements.
 Type 2 consists of those events that provide evidence with respect to
conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose
subsequent to that date.
 Type 1 events require adjustment of the financial statements. Type 2 events
require disclosure, and in very material cases, by attaching pro-form data to
the financial statements.

c. The auditor is required by GAAS to search for and to evaluate subsequent events
up to the date of the auditor's report, which should be as of the end of field work.
This responsibility is discharged by (1) being alert for subsequent events in
performing year-end substantive tests after the balance sheet date, and (2)
performing specific procedures at or near the completion of field work.

The date field work is completed is not specifically given. This answer is based
on the customary practice of dating the audit report as of the end of field work
(i.e., February 26).

b. For categories (1) and (2) the auditor has the responsibility for identifying and
evaluating subsequent events up to the date of the auditor's report. In discharging
this responsibility, the auditor should be alert for subsequent events in performing
substantive tests, and also perform specific auditing procedures at or near the
completion of field work.

For categories (3) and (4), the auditor has no responsibility to make inquiry or to
perform any auditing procedures during this time period to discover subsequent
events. However, if knowledge of such an event comes to the auditor's attention,
he or she should determine whether the event requires adjustment of or disclosure
in the financial statements.

For category (5), the auditor has no responsibility for their discovery. However, if
the auditor becomes aware of such facts and the facts may have affected the report
that was issued, the auditor is required to ascertain the reliability of the
information.

c. Information about the items would be obtained from the following:


1. Inquiry of management; client "rep" letter.

5. Inquiry of management; lawyer's letter; and client "rep" letter.
6. Reading of minutes.
7. Newspaper story on takeover; inquiry of management.
8. Inquiry of management; lawyer's letter; and client 'rep" letter.

d. If the client fails to make required disclosure, the auditor should notify each
member of the board of directors of such refusal and take the following steps to
prevent further reliance on the audit report and:
 Notify the client that the audit report must no longer be associated with the
financial statements.
 Notify regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the client that the report
should no longer be relied on.
 Notify (generally via the regulatory agency) each individual known to be
relying on the statements that the report should no longer be relied on.

20-1. a. Four levels of assurance that can be rendered by CPAs in a variety of


engagements are (1) audit or examination level assurance, (2) review level
assurance, (3) agreed-upon procedures level of assurance, and (4) no assurance.

b. The following table summarizes the 3 groups of professional standards that are
issued by the Auditing Standards Board with examples of engagements that may
be provided under each group of professional standards.

a.
Independent Auditor's Report

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities arising from
cash transactions of Jiffy Clerical Services as of December 31, 20XO, and the
related statement of revenue collected and expenses paid for the year then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.


'nose standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note X, these financial statements were prepared on the basis of


cash receipts and disbursements, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets and liabilities arising from cash transactions of Jiffy Clerical Services
as of December 31, 20XO, and its revenue collected and expenses paid during the year
then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note X.
