The report produced by the auditor should be the first thing that a user of a financial report reads. It is only having read the audit report that the user can have any confidence that the contents of the financial report are a reasonable representation of the financial position and performance of the company. In order to understand what comfort the audit report gives, any user must understand what an audit is, the role of the auditor and the role played by management and the board of directors of the company. The amount of information included in the auditor's report has increased in recent years in an attempt to reduce the expectation gap. Required (a) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the standardisation of audit reports. (b) Explain the following components of an auditor's report and discuss why they are important: (i) auditor's and directors' responsibilities. (ii) independence. (iii) audit opinion.

The following audit procedures are included in the audit program because of heightened risks of material misstatements due to fraud. 1. Use audit software to search purchase transactions to identify any with nonstandard vendor numbers or with vendor names reflecting related parties. 2. Search sales databases for missing bill of lading numbers. 3. Use audit software to search for journal entries posted to the sales revenue account from a nonstandard source (other than the daily sales journal). 4. Use audit software to search cash disbursement master files for missing check numbers. 5. Search the accounts receivable master file for account balances with missing or unusual customer numbers (e.g., "99999"). 6. Use audit software to create a list of all credits to the repair and maintenance expense account for follow-up testing. 7. Engage an actuarial specialist to examine management's assumptions about average length of employment and average life expectancy of retirees used in pension accounting decisions. 8. Send confirmations to customers for large sales transactions made in the fourth quarter of the year to obtain customer responses about terms related to the transfer of title and ability to return merchandise. Required: For each audit procedure: 1. Describe the type of fraud risk that is likely associated with the need for this audit procedure. 2. Identify the related accounts likely affected by the potential fraud misstatement. 3. Identify the related audit objective(s) that this procedure addresses.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2021, for Nevada Harvester Corporation includes the liabilities listed below: 11% bonds with a face amount of $40 million were issued for $40 million on October 31, 2012. The bonds mature on October 31, 2032. Bondholders have the option of calling (demanding payment on) the bonds on October 31, 2022, at a redemption price of $40 million. Market conditions are such that the call is not expected to be exercised. Management intended to refinance $6 million of its 10% notes that mature in May 2022. In early March, prior to the actual issuance of the 2021 financial statements, Nevada Harvester negotiated a line of credit with a commercial bank for up to $5 million any time during 2022. Any borrowings will mature two years from the date of borrowing. Noncallable 12% bonds with a face amount of $20 million were issued for $20 million on September 30, 2002. The bonds mature on September 30, 2022. Sufficient cash is expected to be available to retire the bonds at maturity. A $12 million 9% bank loan is payable on October 31, 2027. The bank has the right to demand payment after any fiscal year-end in which Nevada Harvester's ratio of current assets to current liabilities falls below a contractual minimum of 1.7 to 1 and remains so for six months. That ratio was 1.45 on December 31, 2021, due primarily to an intentional temporary decline in inventory levels. Normal inventory levels will be reestablished during the first quarter of 2022. Required: 1. For each liability listed above, what amount will be reported as a current liability and as a noncurrent liability on the December 31, 2021 balance sheet? 2. Prepare the liability section of a classified balance sheet for Nevada Harvester at December 31, 2021. Accounts payable and accruals are $22 million.
