1 SCAD V: Parts 2 and 3 - Assessing Control Risk I. Part 3: Understand Client s Internal Control System (IC pages 1 and 2) A. Gather Information 1. Flowcharts 2. Documents/walkthrough 3. Identify controls and environment B. Preliminary Assessment 1. Look at what is being done: a. Identify the type of control activity. b. Identify the management assertion(s) reasonably assured by the internal control. 2. Reverse the process: a. Determine what management assertions should be present for the accounting function under consideration. b. Identify the control needed to reasonably assure the protection of the assertion. Or After completing A ask what s missing (i.e., What management assertion(s) are unprotected; how could the accounting system fail to meet the TRAOs). The key is to make sure that the internal control system prevents or detects deviations from EACH of management s assertions (or the TRAO s). 3. Assess control risk (H, M, L) for each assertion (or objective) for each accounting function (in this case, Sales and Collection). See example workpaper IC 50/1. II. Part 4: Tests of Controls and Substantive Tests of Transactions (IC pages 3 and 4) A. Perform the tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions as proscribed in the audit program. 1. Decide the type of sampling to use for each procedure. 2. Decide on the format of the workpapers. See example worksheet attached. 3. SCAD V program notes: a. Selecting samples: Select range - CAUTION data provided includes a year and one-quarter. Sample - Simple random sample (enter Sample size). Save - - File name: Use somethingdesccriptive.xls - Pull up in spreadsheet program and design spreadsheet into working paper. - Added: Reference, completed by, and date, Heading, Columns - Adjustments: Landscape, column width, gridlines. B. Analyze the results of the tests (Chapter 15). C. Decide on the final control risk for the Sales and Collection cycle. To do on this group day: 1. Assign procedures 1 through 5 and 13 through Do procedure 11 as a group get partner approval To be done while discussing chapter 15: Procedures 10 and 12 Need to bring the SCAD audit program to class To do on next group day: Procedures 6, 7, and 26.

2 Evaluation of Control Structure Sales and Collections Procedure Done by Date Reference 1. Design a flowchart for the sales and collections cycle. 2. Develop a list of and briefly describe the documents available in the client s sales and collections system. Note potential evidence of controls. 3. Review the case scenario and evaluate the client s control environment. Summarize your conclusions and reasoning in a brief paragraph. 4. Using the case scenario identify the client s internal control strengths and weaknesses for each of the following: a. Existence: Recorded transactions in KSP 10/31/X2 IC 50/1 the sales/billing/collection cycle are valid. b. Completeness: This assertion states that the financial records include all transactions that have occurred. c. Valuation/Allocation: This assertion states that sales and related accounts are properly valued. d. Rights and Obligations: This assertion states that at a given date recorded assets are the rights of the entity and liabilities are the obligations of the entity. e. Presentation and Disclosure: This assertion states that components of the financial statements, including footnotes, are properly classified, described, and disclosed. 5. For each of the management assertions (a through e) assess control risk as either high, medium, or low based on the above IC 50/1 to identified internal control strengths and weaknesses. 6. Make an overall assessment (high, medium, or low) of control risk for the IC 10 sales and collection cycle. 7. Make a list of recommendations to management for changes to the current IC 11 internal control system. (For reference see SCAD V: Assignment 4) & date IC/1 of 4

3 Control Risk Summary Sales and Collection Cycle IC 50/1 Prepared by KSP Date 10/31/X2 Existence: Recorded transactions in the sales/billing/collection cycle are valid. Strengths: 1. Committee approves extension of credit before shipment. 2. Contracts, prices and terms authorized by Steven Williams. 3. Merchandise is shipped only upon the receipt of the sales order copy as authorization. 4. Order recorded in log and signed by delivery person. 5. Separation of duties in billing, recording, cash handling. 6. Copy of invoice sent to customer. 7. Prenumbered sales invoices. 8. Officer authorizes sales return. 9. Controller authorizes write-offs, secretary makes entries. 10. Receptionist restrictively endorses checks. 11. Monthly statements sent to customers. 12. Only employees with jobs requiring computer data entry or access to file information are given passwords. 13. Direct write access to data files requires passwords of two key employees to be entered simultaneously. Weaknesses: 1. No systematic changing of passwords. 2. There is no apparent rotation of duties or assignment of vacation coverage. 3. No systematic accounting for prenumbered documents. 4. Bookkeeper enters controller's initials. 5. No prelisting of checks. 6. Lack of segregation of duties for bank reconciliation and cash handling. 7. Passwords are required to enter the system, but after entry the system is not segregated and users are not restricted to specifically authorized programs or data files. Initial Control Risk Assessment for the Existence Assertion: Low - Medium

4 Evaluation of Control Structure Procedure Done by Date 8. For control risk assertions assessed as medium or low, develop tests of controls. 9. Develop substantive tests of transactions appropriate for planned CR. 10. Specify your tolerable exception rate for each test of control and substantive tests of transaction. 11. Specify your tolerable misstatement for accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. 12. Determine the appropriate sample size and method of sample selection for test of controls and substantive tests of transactions (discuss reasoning for all judgmental decisions and identify sample population). (For reference see SCAD V: Assignment 5) Reference KSP 10/31/X2 IC/3 of 4 & IC/4 of 4 KSP 10/31/X2 IC/3 of 4 & IC/4 of 4 IC/2 of 4 & date

5 Test of Controls and Substantive Tests of Transactions Sales and Collection Cycle Procedures Done by Date Reference Sales Transactions: General: 13.

On a test basis, account for the numeric sequence of sales invoices in the sales journal. 18.
