    Hello Sir, from bpp practice kits
    Q38
    Which of the following audit response to the increase in the receivables collection period of Bridgford is the LEAST relevant?
    Answer is Perform a trend analysis on current year and prior year monthly revenue,to identify whether revenue is overstated as a result of fraud or error.

    Why it should be reduced in the receivable collection period that indicates overstated in revenue and vice versa, I don’t understand, hope that tutor can explain the logic to me.

    Thank you.

    Receivable days = Average collection period i.e. # of days (on average) = Trade receivables/sales per day e.g. 300/(4,000/365) = 27 days (approx).

    If revenue is overstated (say by 10%), the average collection period will FALL (not increase): 300/(4,400/365) = 25 days
