AUE3702 2013 S2 – (QUESTION)
QUESTION 1
The audit firm where you are a trainee accountant has been appointed as the new auditor of
Agrichem Ltd, a wholesaler of agricultural chemicals and pesticides. The period under review, fo
which you are responsible, covers the year ended 31 August 2013. The company has one centra
warehouse and sells its products to distributors and large fanning operations throughout the
country. Inventory is a material figure on the trial balance.
Opening balances
Since this is the first time that your firm is performing the audit, permission was obtained from t
client to contact the previous auditors to obtain more information regarding the opening balance
The previously appointed auditor simply informed you that he was pressed for time and had to r
the 2012 audit. He is therefore reluctant to allow you review the 2012 audit working papers. Thi
immediately made you wonder how reliable the opening balances are and why the auditor has
issued an unmodified audit report.
Inventory
While visiting the central warehouse at Agrichem Ltd you established that perpetual inventory
records are maintained. Goods received notes and invoices are used to capture inventory
movements. While discussing the date and time to perform the physical annual inventory count
store manager informed you that the previous auditor has never attended the inventory count. Y
also noticed that the warehouse appeared somewhat untidy and it was extremely hot in the
warehouse. You wondered about the effect of extreme temperatures on the shelf life of the
chemicals. You immediately made a note that damaged and obsolete inventory should be identi
during the count and that the value of inventory could possibly be overstated. The assistance of
expert may therefore be justified to determine the effect of heat on the chemicals.
During your attendance of the physical inventory count at year end, the technical product mana
also assisted with the counting. During informal conversations held with him, he informed you t
lawsuit has been filed against Agrichem Ltd because of a specific chemical sold to a farmer that
destroyed his entire crop. Apparently the product is not registered for that particular weed and t
sales person therefore sold the incorrect product to this customer. The value of the failed crops
substantial - R44 000 000.
Trade payables
As part of the verification procedures for purchases you decided to satisfy yourself as to the vali
of the reconciling items appearing on the trade payable's reconciliation of Adhoc Chem
Manufacturers Ltd at 31 August 2013. Agrichem's policies require that all purchases must be
accompanied by an authorised order and goods received note.
The following trade payable's reconciliation for Adhoc Chem Manufacturers Ltd was prepared by
accountant:
