1. To: Mr. David Sheridan
Managing Director
Sheridan Audio Visual Ltd
Dear Mr. Sheridan
Peace Good day! I‟m writing this letter to discuss about the legal requirements for audit of both a
private limited company and a public limited company listed on the stock exchange, the statutory duties
of the auditor, the statutory duties of the directors for reporting the financial results of the business and
the advantages of having an audit.
Both private and public companies are subject to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
although for different reasons. The SEC requires publicly traded companies to provide GAAP-
compliant audited financial statements. Private companies may be subject to GAAP to satisfy
lenders, certain classes of shareholders, or insurance companies. However, many private companies
don't issue audited financial statements. Their main concern is minimizing taxes and therefore they
often only prepare tax returns and unaudited statements. As per companies act, all companies have to
maintain books of accounts and get it audited by a chartered accountant in practice every year after
closing of each financial year.
Such audited report along with the financial statements and annual return prepared by the
company‟s management are required to be filed with the Registrar of companies of the state
where such companies are registered.
There is no time limit for conducting company‟s annual audit. There are some other provisions
which specify the time limit of getting books of accounts audited.
Every private limited company need to conduct their annual general meeting within 6 month
from the end of the financial year to present audited financial statements before the
shareholders.
Let‟s understand the term Statutory Audit first. Statutory basically means anything which comes under
the regulations set by the government. Audit basically means an inspection. Therefore, Statutory Audit,
in turn, means an inspection under the regulations set by a government authority. It is basically done to
assess the financial position of a company.
The statutory duties of the auditor should ensure that balance sheet and profit and loss account have
been made on the basis of accounting books and evidences. Auditor should give all information in the
prescribed manner and auditors that he should express his opinion in his report.
It is the duty of an auditor that he should see whether company fulfills all legal compliance. He should
read all related laws' provisions updates.
According to section 227 of Indian Company Act 1956, " Following are main statutory duties of an
auditor:
It is the statutory duty to give report on the accounts which are audited by him.
To give audit report of balance sheet and profit and loss account.
To audit the documents which are attached with balance sheet and profit and loss account of
company.
2. The statutory duties of the directors for reporting the financial results of the business. The director of
the company they are obligated to prepared financial statements for the year that ended notes to the
financial statement and their declaration about the given statements.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company, for safeguarding the assets, for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and for the
preparation of a directors‟ report and directors‟ remuneration report.
For the advantages of having an audit.
Compliance
Obviously this is one of the main reasons to conduct an audit: to meet the statutory requirements and
regulations in your industry. An audit provides complete peace of mind for business owners and
shareholders that the organisation is 100% compliant with all of its current statutory obligations. Non-
compliance runs the risk of incurring heavy fines, loss of customers and a tarnished reputation –
damage that far outweighs the cost and any minimal, temporary inconvenience that may be caused by
an audit.
Business Improvements / System Improvements
A thorough, in-depth audit takes an impartial look at your organisation‟s internal systems and controls.
This means it‟s an ideal opportunity for the auditing experts to suggest improvements that can make
your business more efficient. Ways to improve internal controls, business systems, accounting
practices, efficiencies, governance and culture can all be identified through the audit process.
Credibility
An audit provides independent verification that the financial statements are a true and fair
representation of the entity‟s current situation. This provides invaluable credibility and confidence to
your organization‟s customers/clients, stakeholders, investors or lenders and even potential buyers. It is
confirmation that financially everything is as it appears to be.
Detect and Prevent Fraud
It‟s estimated that up to 30% of New Zealand businesses are subject to fraud, error and corruption.
Workplace fraud can occur for years without being detected and can be so substantial that some
businesses never recover financially or repair their reputations. An audit can be an effective tool for
identifying fraud and opportunities to commit fraud. Experienced auditors are skilled at pinpointing
weaknesses in an organization‟s systems and controls and suggesting ways to strengthen these to
prevent fraud occurring.
Better Planning and Budgeting
An audit confirms the accuracy of an organization‟s financial statements by analyzing its financial
transactions. It‟s a detailed process and can result in certain types of income, expenditure, assets and
liabilities being scrutinized. This critical examination, coupled with the auditor‟s financial expertise, can
then be used by business owners for better financial planning, budgeting and financial decision-making
for the future.

10. PRELIMINARY ANALYTICAL REVIEW
It is mandatory that the auditor should perform risk assessment for the identification and
assessment of risks of material misstatement at the financial statement and assertion level, and the risk
assessment procedures should include analytical procedures It is also mandatory that the auditor
should perform analytical procedures near the end of the audit that assess whether the financial
statements are consistent with the auditor‟s understanding of the entity.
Analytical procedures are also commonly used in non-audit and assurance engagements, such
as reviews of prospective financial information, and non-audit reviews of historical financial information.
While the use of analytical procedures in such engagements is not covered in the ISAs, the principals
regarding their use are relevant.
Preliminary analytical reviews are performed to obtain an understanding of the business and its
environment financial performance relative to prior years and relevant industry and comparison groups
to help assess the risk of material misstatement in order to determine the nature, timing and extent of
audit procedures, to help the auditor develop the audit strategy and programmed.
Preliminary analytical review is basically tests are needed as evidence to support the assertion
that the financial records of an entity are complete, valid, and accurate. Most of firms were taking this
into consideration that during planning, majority were all much ready to let planning activities 'occur' as
part of the fieldwork. There is a greater emphasis on planning activities that have placed on risk
standards and risk assessment procedures and focus as an integral part of the risk based audit
approach. Drawing comparisons to the types of procedures is a good way to understand the role of
preliminary analytical review in an audit in performing a review engagement.
11. DETERMINING MATERIALITY LEVEL
Depending on the audit risk, auditors will select different values inside these ranges.
5% to 10 of total revenue
1% to 2% of total assets
1% to 2% of gross profit
2% to 5% of shareholders‟ equity
5% to 10% of net income
To detect the misstatements that could be material to the financial statements taken as a whole, the
auditor selects 5% of revenue, 1% of total assets, 1 % of gross profit, 2% of shareholders equity and
5% of net income to be the material level.
Statement base (Dec. 31 2020) Amount Materiality level
Revenue 5,410,175 270,508.75
Total assets 3,055,151 30,551.51
Gross profit 961,809 9,618.09
Shareholder’s equity 1,193,831 23,876.62
Profit before tax 75,270 3,763.5
Therefore, the amount less than the materiality level will be considered as immaterial
12. Short document about the assessment of risk in this audit and how this will affect subsequent
work
In conducting the audit engagement, in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(ISAs), the risk assessments that are to be conducted will focus on the financial statements of Sheridan
Audio Visual Ltd, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 20X1, and the income
statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Auditors must determine risks when working. One type of risk to be aware of is inherent risk.
While assessing this level of risk, you ignore whether the client has internal controls in place such as a
secondary review of financial statement in order to help mitigate the inherent risk. You consider the
strength of the internal controls when assessing the client‟s control risk. Your job when assessing
inherent risk is to evaluate how susceptible the financial statement assertions are to material
misstatement given the nature of the client‟s business.
Planning analytics to shine light on risks. Provided by the draft accounts, minutes of the
meeting and other relevant documents, all will be made use for identifying whether there are
unexplained variations in the numbers, for the reason that these present fraud signals.
In addition, the potential risks and control environment questionnaire results will serve as a
guide and limit the scope to where the audit must pay more emphasis on.
Together with the inherent limitations of internal control, there is an unavoidable risk that some
material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed
in accordance with ISAs. However, we will communicate to you in writing concerning any significant
deficiencies in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have identified
during the audit.

WEAKNESSES RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Sales amounts recorded incorrectly Management should reconcile the balances
between the general ledger, subsidiary records
and the inventory count and account for the
discrepancies.
Maintain a complete and updated subsidiary
record for each of the inventory item traded by the
Agency. Each record should contain all necessary
information relative to the inventory items
2. Sales recorded in wrong accounting
period
Make correcting entries when you find errors.
There are two ways to make correcting entries:
reverse the incorrect entry and then use a second
journal entry to record the transaction correctly, or
make a single journal entry that, when combined
with the original but incorrect entry, fixes the error.
3. Goods sold to customers who were bad
credit risks
Management can use a business strategy called
“credit control” that promotes the selling of goods
by extending credit to customers. Most businesses
try to extend credit to customers with a good credit
history so as to ensure payment of the goods or
services.
4. Sales posted to wrong account If you originally posted to the wrong account, you
might need to adjust the entire entry. Or, you might
have to make a minor adjustment. If you need to
make a correcting entry, do the following:
Find out all the accounts that are affected
by the error.
Determine the amount that needs to be
adjusted.
You must make new entries for the correction. Use
the same accounts as the original posting for the
correcting entry.
5. Unauthorized write-offs of receivables
may have occurred.
Double check cash discounts and make sure
customers have earned the discounts by following
sales terms and conditions. Resolve any
differences of interpretations by meeting, phone, or
e-mail and confirm the agreement. Otherwise,
these will become systemic drip of profits.

4. A purchase or liability may have been omitted
5. Purchases may have been recorded but the merchandise may not been received.
YES NO COMMENTS
Has a purchase requisition to be raised for all
purchases?
With this document, procurement doesn‟t order goods
directly from vendors but instead initiates a formal
process. And that process is what provides the
company internal control over the purchasing process
Is the purchase requisition pre-numbered? Financial documents should be pre-numbered to
ensure all transactions are recorded and accounted
for.
Has a purchase order to be raised for all
purchases?
It necessary to be recorded in the books by the
account manager
Are purchase orders pre-numbered? Pre-numbered purchase orders ensure the
completeness and identify “missing” orders.
Do purchase orders have to be approved? For any purchase order to be a legally binding contract,

Trade receivables are shown as current assets. If genuine, they are owed by real people or real
organizations. They come into existence as a result of the sale of goods or the performance of
services by the company on credit.
Substantive testing should be carried out at year end on the Statement of Financial Position to gain
evidence regarding the following assertions:

It is a little bit confusing as to digits

appropriately correct and it is an
advantage to the company per se
because the Trade receivables are

LOWER OR COST OR NET REALISABLE VALUE TEST
For items priced at net realisable value, the auditors must verify the basis for arriving at that value(it should
be actual selling price less an estimate of costs to be incurred in completion and selling)
IAS 2 identifies the following situations when a write-down may be necessary: a fall in selling prices;
physical deterioration of inventories; obsolescence; a decision to sell at a loss or purchasing or production
errors.
TESTS THAT CAN BE CARRIED OUT
1. Review sales after date of Statement of Financial Position
2. Observe for signs of obsolescence during attendance at inventory count
3. Analyse amount of inventory held in relation to budgeted turnover to identify any excessive
holdings.
4. Enquire of management and of sales and production personnel
5. Review minutes of boards of directors and executive committees

CONCLUSION
12 Write a report on the inventory count
concluding on its accuracy and the ability to be
able to rely on it.
12.Base on the exactness of the stock
check done on March 31,2021, it had been
done with authentic counting and the
principle issue is that the one accounted to
count the stock is just the scattering boss or
partners. This may wind up being less
trustworthy sort of checking as a result of
the affiliations of the scattering chief to the
inventory itself.

44. Payroll Controls
Expected payroll controls Are these in existence at Sheridan?
All changes to the payroll are authorised:
Starters
Leavers
Rate of pay changes
Rate of tax changes
Yes, the association endorsed all of these changes. It is the
record/overseer boss who's in control for this authorisation.
Change tracking
Copies are kept of changes to the payroll – such
as rate changes
Indeed, consistently pay rates are talked about in the
gathering with the Top managerial staff. Furthermore, if any
pay raise were affirmed it is recorded in the minutes. The
moment demonstrates that the pay raise has been approved
by the board. A duplicate of the moment is given to Rosie
Hendricks, the record/administrator chief. At that point,
Rosie requests that Jay Alexander correct the pace of pay in
the finance framework.
Error-checking reports
Show items that fall outside of normal payroll
Yes, the Bookkeeper and Administrator director is the
person who plays out this activity.
Access restricted to payroll records
Appropriate measures taken to protect payroll
data and personal details with restricted access to
online and paper based records including
payslips.
With respect to the affirmation of the money data and
individual nuances on the online access, the association
recently practiced extra measures by using 'strong'
passwords, indiscriminately made, using at any rate 12
characters: upper and lower case letters, numbers and
pictures. Moreover, likewise, at customary spans, the
system by and by anticipates that them should change their
subjectively delivered passwords. However, concerning the
paper based records, for instance, payslips the constraint
with its passage isn't ensured about since it is put on
laborers' compartments arranged on the typical kitchen
domain in building 1 in which everyone can get to. In
addition, the payslips contains singular information that
should be reliant upon insurance.
Separation of duties
One person prepares payroll and another
authorises it
Another person makes payments
Yes, Indeed, there are three (3) approved people associated
with finance measures. Rosie Hendricks, the Records and
Administrator Chief; Jay Alexander, the Finance Executive;
James Clark, the Fund Chief.
Automated timekeeping systems
Computerised time clock of calculating weekly pay
and overtime
No, for the worker on week , they should finish a timesheet
demonstrating the hours worked each day. The time sheet is
pre-printed, and the representative is the person who fill in
the subtleties by hand – recording when they sign in and
out. The worker likewise figures sums for quite a long time
for quite a long time and the week – and fills these on the
sheet. While for the various staff that are paid month to
month. They're paid a yearly compensation which doesn't
fluctuate as indicated by hours worked.
Calculation verification
For any manual calculations to the payroll
For the week after week paid worker, since they're the who
fill in their timesheets the line director is the person who's in
control in checking the records before sending it for the
finance handling.
Hours worked/overtime authorised for weekly pay Sheridan AV doesn't pay additional time for staff on
compensations except if there are exceptional
circumstances. James Clark, the fund chief approves the
installment, If there is an extra time installment. It is gone
into the framework by Jay Alexander, the finance head.
Bank transfers to employees are authorised by
James Clark, the Finance Director who's a senior individual
45. two senior members of staff from the staff that approved the bank move to
representatives.
Payroll checking account – this should be a
separate account to minimise risk of fraud
The Organization don't have fund money related records.
Imprint Avon, the Cashbook in control gets through the bank
move posting for salaried staff. When Imprint has gotten
through the bank move postings for week by week or
salaried staff, money is electronically moved to the laborers'
own one of a kind record.
