You are an experienced audit manager at Samway Baker Fitzgerald (SBF), an accounting firm with offices in Orange, Wagga Wagga, Tamworth, Port Macquarie and Albury in NSW, Toowoomba in Queensland and Ballarat in Victoria. In the next 18 months, you hope to be promoted to partner at the Orange office. Although a medium-sized firm by national standards, SBF includes Australia’s largest regionally-based auditing practice. Most of SBF’s audit clients are in the mining, manufacturing and agriculture industries. For various reasons all of those industries are currently under pressure: mining from a downturn in commodity prices, manufacturing from fierce overseas competition, and agriculture from a devastating drought that continues to grip Eastern Australia. It is a cold Thursday evening in July 2019 and you are meeting with your audit team to finalise the 30 June 2019 year-end audit for Far Faraway Pastoral Limited (FFA), a major agricultural company based in Orange, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), and one of SBF’s largest clients by fee revenue. During the meeting, three of your audit seniors each bring a potential issue to your attention. Samantha Gabrielle was responsible for reviewing FFA’s corporate governance arrangements and reports that ‘at 30 June 2019 the board of FFA comprises: CEO Bruce Blanch, the CFO Alexandra Rose and three non-executive directors: Kevin Oliver (a former executive at Macquarie Bank who has an 11 percent shareholding in FFA and is Chair of the Board), Matthew James (a retired farmer who was a major supplier to FFA), and Jacqueline Grace (an Orange-based orthopaedic surgeon).’ Steve Barker was responsible for reviewing the revenue cycle and argues that ‘an ASIC report on their recent review of the financial statements of some major agricultural companies now means that FFA’s method for recognising revenues on its sale of cattle is very questionable’. In the 30 June 2019 financial year just ended, cattle sales constituted nearly 50% of all revenue recorded by FFA. Steve reports that he has already discussed the matter with the senior partner on the FFA audit, Skye Martin, who said that the method has been used for 10 years and that no adjustments to the 30 June 2019 financial statements were to be made. Steve reports that he then told Skye Martin he accepted her decision but wanted to include a dissenting statement in the audit working papers. She refused to permit such a statement in the working papers but offered to write a letter to you as the FFA audit manager acknowledging full responsibility for the 30 June 2019 audit. Steve alleges that as he left his meeting with Skye Martin, she made some negative comments about your chances of being promoted to partner in the near future. Kate Hammond was responsible for reviewing the operations of an FFA subsidiary based in Western Australia (WA), called TRC, that sells rural and farm supplies. You are aware that whilst TRC is the market leader in WA and has a strong balance sheet, it was making losses for the past two years. During the previous financial year ended 30 June 2018, TRC significantly upgraded its accounting information system to more effectively manage inventory sales. TRC hired a well-regarded IT consultant to undertake the upgrade which was completed on 31 March 2018. As SBF did not have offices in WA, you organised an independent expert based in Perth to review and evaluate the accounting information system. The independent expert concluded that the system appeared reliable and that the changeover was correctly carried out. At 30 June 2018 year-end, this new system had been in place for 3 months, and TRC management reported that they were happy with the way it was operating. In early 2019, given drought pressures on its core business in Eastern Australia, FFA accepted an offer from WA-based agricultural company McCarran Pastoral, who already owned 15% of TRC, to sell their remaining 85% interest to them. The agreed sale price was $45.8m, equivalent to FFA’s 85% share of TRC’s net assets. The sale was finalised on 15 April 2019, but half the sale price is not due to be paid until 15 August 2019, after the 30 June 2019 audit of FFA has been completed. Kate reports that significant errors in the changeover of the accounting information system back in March 2018 have only just been discovered in July 2019, more than 15 months later. The errors resulted in the inventory at TRC stores being misstated by $16.6m and net assets by the same amount. As a result McCarran Pastoral is planning to withhold most of its remaining settlement payment to FFA, and FFA is planning to sue SBF for negligence for its loss of that payment. Required: Question 1 (4%) Based on the information she has provided, advise Samantha Gabrielle on which, if any, ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations FFA may have breached and what action, if any, FFA would need to take in response. Question 2 (5%) What should you do in response to the information provided by Steve Barker? With reference to the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, use the following American Accounting Association (AAA) Model template to guide your answer: American Accounting Association Model Decision-making process 1.

Make your decision Question 3 (6%) With reference to case law and the auditing standards, prepare a report to the managing partner of SBF that indicates whether or not: • SBF failed to exercise ‘due care’ in the audit of TRC; • FFA is guilty of contributory negligence; • SBF owes a duty of care to McCarran Pastoral.

Davis Stores sells clothing in 15 stores located around the southwestern United States. The managers at Davis are considering expanding by opening new stores and are interested in estimating costs in potential new locations. They believe that costs are driven in large part by store volume measured by revenue. During a discussion, one of the managers suggests that number of employees might be better at explaining cost than store revenues. As a result of that suggestion, managers collected the following information from last year’s operations (revenues and costs in thousands of dollars):

b. Use the results of your high-low analysis to estimate the cost for a store with 30 employees. (Do not round your intermediate calculation. Enter your answers in thousands of dollars.)

You are planning for a very early retirement. You would like to retire at age 40 and have enough money saved to be able to draw $ 220,000 per year for the next 40 years​ (based on family​history, you think​ you'll live to age 80​). You plan to save for retirement by making 15 equal annual installments​ (from age 25 to age​ 40) into a fairly risky investment fund that you expect will earn 12% per year. You will leave the money in this fund until it is completely depleted when you are 80 years old.

1. How much money must you accumulate by​ retirement?

​(Hint​:Find the present value of the $ 220,000 withdrawals.)

Calculate the present value to find out how much money must be accumulated by retirement. ​(Round your answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

2. How does this amount compare to the total amount you will draw out of the investment during​ retirement? How can these numbers be so​ different?

These numbers are different​ because:

A.You need to have far more accumulated than what you will withdraw because you will withdraw a large portion of the investment every yearlong dash the balance remains invested where it continues to earn 12% interest.

B. You need to have the same accumulated as you will withdraw because you will not earn further interest on your investment when you reach retirement.

C.You need to have far less accumulated than what you will withdraw because you only withdraw a portion of the investment every yearlong dashthe balance remains invested where it continues to earn 12​% interest.

D.None of the above.

3. How much must you pay into the investment each year for the first fifteen ​years?​(Hint​: Your answer from Requirement 1 becomes the future value of this​ annuity.) ​(Round your answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

4. How does the total​ out-of-pocket savings compare to the​ investment's value at the end of the fifteen-year savings period and the withdrawals you will make during​ retirement?​ (Use the investment rounded to the nearest whole number that you calculated​ above, then round your final answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)
