To ensure that there are no last minute hitches, please do not leave it until the last minute. Under School of Social Sciences rules an extension of one week only can be given via the extenuating circumstances procedure, and only if supported by compelling documentary evidence. If you attempt to upload your essay one second after the deadline the computer will “say no”. Anyone failing to submit may be given the opportunity to resit in the summer, delaying their graduation. If there are good reasons for failing to submit, the extenuating circumstances procedure should be invoked. As this module is now a core module for almost all students taking it, it cannot be compensated – so it must be passed, either on first sitting, or on resit. No second resit opportunities are permitted.
Coursework essay instructions
In the past, essays have been given a mark which was the aggregate of marks obtained for the ten aspects of the essay detailed below. This is not the case now. Each essay will receive a single mark reflecting its quality – but the ten aspects will all be taken into consideration and failure to observe the instructions on any aspect will led to loss of marks. Failure to fulfil any aspect of the requirement for a category may result in a loss of marks directly, but it will also very likely result in the loss of further marks elsewhere. For example, if your English is poor, you are likely to lose marks for poor English, but you will inevitably lose further marks to the extent that it obscures your meaning.

Memo Activity: Inventory
$5.00Inventory is the most significant asset on the balance sheet. It can make or break a company, depending on the amount of inventory involved. Keeping inventory at a minimum is a best-case scenario.
You are the controller of Toys for Twins, Inc. Linda Barnes, the president, recently mentioned to you that she found an error in the 2006 financial statements which she believes has corrected itself. She determined, in discussions with the Purchasing Department, that the 2006 ending inventory was overstated by $1 million. Linda says that the 2007 ending inventory is correct. Thus, she assumes that 2007 income is correct. Linda says to you, “What happened has happened—there’s no point in worrying about it anymore.”
You conclude that Linda is incorrect. Write a brief 200-300 word, professional memo to Linda and clarify the situation.
Auditing Assignment Seven Busi 3343
$20.00Auditing Assignment Seven Busi 3343
Question 1 (5 marks)
You are the auditor of Brody Grass Inc. The CEO expressed a concern that the audit fees for the year were very high. You then explained that this is largely due to poor internal controls in the cash and transaction cycle and that the audit fees could decrease if better controls were in place.
Provide 5 examples of general cash account controls that Brody Grass Inc. could implement.
Question 2 (6 Marks)
You are the auditor for GreenAcres, a non-profit home for homeless elderly. GreenAcres has a December 31 year end. It receives government funding, and also relies upon donations for revenue. GreenAcres has a major funding drive in November, when it collects pledges by means of activities at a garage sale, a walkathon, and fall bake sale events in the community.
During late February you had a meeting with Ellen Famous, the President of GreenAcres, at the organization’s premises. Ellen reviews and approves bank statements and is the second and final cheque signer. Two other accounting staff have the following responsibilities:
- Paul approves pledge write-offs (which normally average about 15%), opens the mail, endorses cheques received in the mail, prepares and delivers bank deposits, and posts transactions into the accounting system.
- Diana, a retired bookkeeper, volunteers about 10 hours per week to reconcile the bank account, review journal entries posted to the general ledger, and prepare payroll and accounts payable transactions for processing.
Ellen normally reviews pledge write-offs, but was very busy in February, so she took a look while you were there. To her surprise, she found that about 40% of the pledges had been written off. She asked Diana to investigate, and Diana found that most of the write-offs had actually been paid.
Required:
- A) What are possible causes of the inconsistency with the pledge write-offs?
- B) What are the weaknesses in internal control that could allow the excess write-offs to occur? Provide recommendations for improvement.
- C) Identify audit procedures that you would complete to quantify any potential misstatement with respect to the pledges receivable balance as at December 31.
Question 3 (6 marks)
Following are situations that an auditor might find by means of tests of controls or tests of details of cash balances for a company with a December year end.
- A) The accountant did not record or deposit a cash receipt for $50,000 that was received on December 28. Cash is prelisted by the receptionist.
- B) Cheques prepared up to January 6 were dated December 31 and recorded in the cash disbursements journal.
- C) A cheque was issued for office supplies that were never received by the client.
Required:
List a substantive audit procedure that could uncover each of the preceding situations.
