You are to describe accounting and auditing issues in the audit
that you will face as the new auditor. You are to identify the
risks that the company faces as well and how these risks will
affect the audit and how you will mitigate the risks. For
example, if you select a company that has overseas
manufacturing plants which produce inventory—what approach
will you take to observe the inventory that is in the U.S. and
overseas? What will you include in your audit plan? What are
the risks related to inventory and the year end inventory value
reflected on the balance sheet?
