Good day Sir,
I am really struggling to identify and explain audit risk and auditor’s response to identified risk.
Here is a scenario. ” The company has invested significantly in the cola and fizzy drinks production process at the factory.This resulted in an expenditure of $5m on updating, repairing and replacing a significant amount of machinery used in the production process”
My suggested answer:
Risk:
There is a valuation risk. Assets and profits have been overstated. milla has capitalised the whole amount of $5 million . No split has been made between capital expenditure and revenue expenditure.
Audit Response:
Obtain an analysis of this expenditure, verify to see split between capital expenditure and revenue expenditure. Trace revenue expenditure to see it expended in profit & loss account; trace capital expenditure to verify capitalized in assets for completeness.
Sir kindly look at my response to see if am on the right track.
thanks.
You seem to be spot on.
Thanks very much sir,
I will built up on this .
