Case Study (Part 2) – ACCT 3000 Semester 2, 2020
You are an Audit Senior on the AUDIO Health Limited (AUDIO) audit
engagement for the financial year ending 30 June 2019. AUDIO
specialises in the design and manufacture of implantable hearing
aids and invests more than twice the industry average in research
and development. While undertaking audit planning procedures you
become aware of the following:
AUDIO has been developing its latest hearing implant, the X5, for a
number of years. AUDIO has invested heavily in research and
development of the X5 and has capitalised a significant amount in
relation to the development phase of the product. Market studies
and prototypes of the X5 have proved successful for bringing it to
the market. In July 2018, AUDIO acquired two technologically
advanced machines specifically designed for manufacturing the X5,
at a cost of $15 million each. Production and sales of the X5
hearing implant commenced in October 2018, and demand for the
product has been extremely high since its launch. AUDIO has sold
large volumes of the product and further manufactured a large
stockpile of the X5 in anticipation of on-going high demand, and a
substantial number have already been implanted in patients.
There has recently been a sharp increase in incidences of the
implant shutting down post-surgery, resulting in a number of
patients commencing legal action against AUDIO for damages and
prompting the company to initiate a recall. Initial investigations
reveal that the defect is attributable to a design flaw. It is
likely that the product in its current form cannot be sold.
Management of AUDIO is confident that it will be possible to
re-engineer the two machines acquired for the manufacturing of the
X5 to enable production of its four other product lines and
potentially for other products currently under development.
You have raised concerns with AUDIO’s audit committee on improving
the competence and objectivity of the internal audit department.
Currently, the internal audit department is made up of three recent
graduates with no prior experience who periodically report the
Audio’s Chief Executive Officer Dr. Dave Bautista.
Required:
Prepare a memorandum to the audit manager, outlining your risk
assessment relating to AUDIO Limited. When making your risk
assessment:
(a) Identify three (3) key account balances from the information
provided that are subjected to an increase in audit risk. Briefly
explain what factors increase the audit risk associated with the
three (3) accounts identified. In your explanation, please mention
the key assertion(s) at risk of material misstatement.
(b) Identify how the audit plan will be affected and recommend
specific audit procedures to address the risks associated with each
account identified.
