未分类题Introduction and client backgroundYou are an audit senior in Staple and Co and you are commencing the planning of the audit of Smoothbrush Paints Co for the year ending 31 August 2010.Smoothbrush Paints Co is a paint manufacturer and has been trading for over 50 years, it operates from one central site, which includes the production facility, warehouse and administration ffices.Smoothbrush sells all of its goods to large home improvement stores, with 60% being to one large chain store Homewares. The company has a one year contract to be the sole supplier of paint to Homewares. It secured the contract through signifi cantly reducing prices and offering a four-month credit period, the company’s normal credit period is one month.Goods in purchasesIn recent years, Smoothbrush has reduced the level of goods directly manufactured and instead started to import paint from South Asia. Approximately 60% is imported and 40% manufactured. Within the production facility is a large amount of old plant and equipment that is now redundant and has minimal scrap value. Purchase orders for overseas paint are made six months in advance and goods can be in transit for up to two months. Smoothbrush accounts for the inventory when it receives the goods.To avoid the disruption of a year end inventory count, Smoothbrush has this year introduced a continuous perpetual inventory counting system. The warehouse has been divided into 12 areas and these are each to be counted once over the year. The counting team includes a member of the internal audit department and a warehouse staff member. The following procedures have been adopted;1. The team prints the inventory quantities and descriptions from the system and these records are then compared to the inventory physically present.2. Any discrepancies in relation to quantities are noted on the inventory sheets, including any items not listed on the sheets but present in the warehouse area.3. Any damaged or old items are noted and they are removed from the inventory sheets.4. The sheets are then passed to the fi nance department for adjustments to be made to the records when the count has fi nished.5. During the counts there will continue to be inventory movements with goods arriving and leaving the warehouse.At the year end it is proposed that the inventory will be based on the underlying records. Traditionally Smoothbrush has maintained an inventory provision based on 1% of the inventory value, but management feels that as inventory is being reviewed more regularly it no longer needs this provision.Finance DirectorIn May 2010 Smoothbrush had a dispute with its fi nance director (FD) and he immediately left the company.
