CAN SOMEONE WITH DEEP KNOWLEDGE AND BRAINY ANSWER THE QUESTION PLEASE.
Your client is Magnificent Homeware Limited and your audit will be for the year ended 31 March 2018. Magnificent Homeware Ltd is a retailer and the main products sold are:
fridges
freezers
OLED televisions
coffee machines
blenders.
The retail shops are in Auckland (2) and Wellington (1) and the head office is in Auckland. There has been an extensive amount of capital expenditure over the past three years.
Each of the shops has a manager and they have incentive bonuses based on the net profit of the company. In discussions with each of these managers you have been alerted to the fact that there are problems with the over ordering of fridges and coffee machines. This has been as a result of the volatility of the market and competition in the market place and as a result the company had suffered cash-flow problems during the 2018 income year.
Your analysis of the industry suggests that the market for homeware products is extremely volatile and there is increasing competition and the need for heavy discounting for televisions and fridges.
The homeware industry is affected by changes in technology, especially for the televisions and therefore you have a concern for obsolete televisions as part of the inventory.
The managing director is Gwyneth Homeby and she is a gregarious person who was previously a car dealer. Accounting is definitely not her strong point. She relies completely on the accountant Helen Breeze. Gwyneth also advises you that she is concerned at the verbal reports of an isolated bullying situation by the manager to a sales staff member in one of one of the Auckland stores. You have found the following reference from the Institute of Directors which may assist you: https://www.iod.org.nz/About-us/IoD-news-and-articles/Post/19383.
In your first meeting with Gwyneth she unexpectedly offered you two free tickets to the T20 cricket match between the Black Caps and West Indies. Gwyneth explained to you that she had purchased these tickets however she has now found out that she will be going to a sales conference in Sydney at the time of this cricket match. At this stage you have not accepted the tickets and you are unsure on how to proceed.
Gwyneth also advises you that approximately 10% of the company sales is through supplying white ware and televisions to a government department in Wellington and this department is now reviewing the contract and calling for tenders for the 2018 – 2020 years.
During the 2018 income year the company borrowed an additional $1.4 million on a 15 year mortgage. The additional borrowing was used to build a new retail store which opened in Wellington in November 2017. The two Auckland shops are leased.
The bank overdraft has been agreed upon by the bank and has a maximum agreed overdraft of $400,000.
The 2018 financial statements are as follows:
