Revaluation of property and disclosure

ASalawi sayed3y ago
Hi Mr Smith, I always come accross in the module answers that we have to check the disclosures of the assertion or the response to the weakness in the the control system. but how we will decide that this item should be included in the disclosure ,or that every thing should be disclosed or what? Thanks for help. like in the following question: Q IPRO EDUCATION +917742693555 You are an audit senior for Rio & Co. were recently appointed as external auditors of Handy Car Co for the year ending 31 June 20X7 and you are in the process of planning the audit. The workshop currently in use is owned by the company and will be included in the financial statements at its revalued amount rather than at cost. The company has always adopted this policy for land and buildings and the valuation of the workshop is to be brought up to date at 31 March 20X7 by an external valuer Prat (c) Required Describe the procedures the auditor should carry out to gain evidence over the adequacy of the value of the workshop and the related disclosures included in the financial statements. Answer (C) Procedures in relation to property valuation and related disclosures Obtain a copy of the valuer's report and consider the reliability of the valuation after taking account of: - Independence/objectivity - The basis of valuation - Qualifications - Experience - Reputation of the valuer. Compare the valuation with the value of other similar properties in the locality and investigate any significant difference. Re perform the calculation of the revaluation adjustments and ensure the correct accounting treatment has been applied. Inspect notes to the financial statements to ensure appropriate disclosures have been made in accordance with IFRSs.

I don't really understand your question - I can't comment on the example you have given because it is not an ACCA Q/A. Looking at real ACCA Qs, the only disclosure requirements you need to know are those that are assumed knowledge of FA - so for example, that the going concern basis is an accounting policy not (IAS 1), a reconciliation of carrying amounts (IAS 16/38), nature of event/estimate of financial effect (contingent liabilities - IAS 37).

I recommend that you add to the list I have started as you come across further mentions in solutions to past exam questions.
