|
1. The financial controller of Easy Lumber Ltd won’t allow you to attend the stocktake to be held on 30 June 2020 due to safety reasons. The value of inventory is highly material in relation to Easy’s financial statements. You are unable to satisfy yourself as to the inventory balance by alternative procedures. |

2. Subsequent to the year-end of 30 June 2020 but prior to the signing of the audit report, the auditor became aware of significant damage to one of a client’s two locations due to a recent flood. This will result in a significant loss to the company. Local media has described the event in detail. The financial statements and appended notes as prepared by management haven’t disclosed the loss caused by the flood. |

3. The auditor has completed an examination of the financial statements and notes of a transport company for the year ended 30 June 2020. Prior to the current year, the company had been depreciating its trucks over an 8-year period. During the current year, the company determined that a more realistic estimated life for its trucks was 10 years and calculated the 2020 depreciation on the basis of the revised estimate. The auditor is satisfied that the 10-year life is reasonable. The company has adequately disclosed the change in estimated useful lives of its trucks and the effect of the change on 2020 profit in a note to the financial statements. |

4. On 25 August 2020, ABC Company Ltd received notice from its primary supplier that, effective immediately, all wholesale prices would be increased by 10%. On the basis of the notice, ABC revalued its 30 June 2020 inventory to reflect the higher costs. The inventory constituted a material proportion of total assets; however, the effect of the revaluation was material to current assets but not to total assets or profit. The increase in valuation is adequately disclosed in the footnotes. |

5. An online retailer of electrical appliances records revenue at the time customer orders are placed on the website, rather than when the goods are shipped, which is usually two days after the order is placed. The auditor determines that the amount of orders placed but not shipped as at the financial report date isn’t material. |
