You have been conducting an audit of the financial reports of Rainbow Forest Ltd (Rainbow Forest)....

You have been conducting an audit of the financial reports of Rainbow Forest Ltd (Rainbow Forest). Rainbow Forest Ltd is a publishing company, specialising in books and other promotional material for special industry sectors and professional bodies. Over the last three years Rainbow Forest has been experiencing difficult trading conditions resulting in operating losses and deferred dividends. In particular, Rainbow Forest has had difficulty managing its cash flow. Book sales are down on the prior year and longstanding customers are no longer making bulk purchases, but instead they are producing e-books which are emailed to members on the mailing list. Whilst Rainbow Forest can still provide online technical support services and web design advice, they have lost a major source of revenue and 20% of employees have been made redundant. You have been told by different sources that Senior Management is under a lot of pressure to turn this difficult situation around and improve both sales and profitability. You note that some of the reports you have been provided are either incomplete or are not consistent with what you have been told. Based on your initial understanding of the entity and its environment, you have concluded that Rainbow Forest Ltd is a going concern risk.

Women have been encouraged throughout the world to be entrepreneurs. Many reasons, some of them being to support themselves and their families; to attain the fulfillment of having started something on their own and to satisfy their desire for financial independence. Women not only create jobs for themselves and others, but also work toward growing their businesses, and constantly innovating new products and services. One such example was the partnership venture of Ms. Rihab, Ms. Shaima, Ms. Yumna and Ms Zahra. This partnership firm was called as “Family Events”. Based in Bawsher since inception in 2009, this SME concentrated on management and arrangement of family functions namely marriage parties, birthday parties etc. Further, they expanded their business and entered into managing events such as pre marriage shoots, new born photography and outdoor catering service. In 2020, this firm has failed to live up to the expectations of their customers in terms of quality, innovation and cost. This has caused huge loss in sales revenue, brand value and profits of the company. Out of the four partners, two opine closure and settlement, while the other two are devising ways to keep the firm afloat.
