    Spent ages on group audit and found it hard to identify the matters! Kind of feel like I waffled on so much!

    For final accounts I gave adverse opinion too cos material by quantity and by nature too.. weird exam… had a question about terms of engagement too and I just talked about fees timings expectations nature and reporting..

    I had same figures for materiality. I found the asset was incorrectly capitalised and one of the capital expenditure was expensed. The net effect was 10m. I argued the most material item was the 22 million provision for the legal claim as this was not yet probably. I said more evidence is needed and it is possible so maybe a contingent liability should be disclosed. Could be wrong???

    I said for the legal claim that I didn’t think that it was enough because the loans/credit terms were for tradesmen doinf long term work and £800 per tradesman was not a lot so said it might not be sufficient etc.

    I think I also said that some things should’ve been expended like Labour and redecoration as that could be assumed to be part of normal wear and tear not capex.

    Also said that there was an issue with them having a before exception and after exception profit figure as the exception items should be been capitalised and also the before figure is what was used to calculate executive director bonus which was okie 30m increase or something and the after figure increase was 2, so wasn’t a good measurement and risk that it was purposely done. Also said tax implications are that less tax might be paid if profits were massively reduced etc..
    Not sure I feel like I made issues out of nothing? Anyone else get these?

    I left a comment yesterday but it seems it did not get posted. Too bad.
    I also got the one with due dilligence, the one that wants to close 3 of the facilities in Europe and the one with business risk, materiality and data analytics (clothes retailer).
    Good luck, everyone, fingers crossed!

    @jazzy. I mentioned similar points except for provision, I did not write anything on that. What did you mention for inventory?

    For inventory I think I mentioned lots of hardware stores and lots of transactions so risk there, I also said risk that trends change quickly and stuff becomes obsolete so potentially overstated if not impaired for fashion changes etc

    Otherwise the accounting treatment was accurate right, I got so confused when it stated tools and equipments. I was thinking at first what if this should be treated as ppe because they mentioned professional builders . Too much time passed on this one

    Yeah the treatment was right, I just tried not to say too much about it cos it wasn’t a significant issue but just mentioned there was a risk it wasn’t maintained through changes in trends and obsolescence etc!

    Think it mentioned internally generated brand name but they didn’t recognise that so I didn’t really talk about that cos it’s right not to recognise internally generated..
