Profit before tax for the year after making all necessary adjustments was Rs. 120 million. The other relevant
informations related to tax working are as follows:
Note-1: On 1 January 2020 EL had issued 1.5 million 10% convertible Term Finance Certificates (TFCs) of
Rs. 100 each. Interest is payable annually on 31 December whereas the principal is to be paid at the end of
2023. Two TFCs are convertible into one ordinary share at any time prior to maturity. On the date of issue,
the prevailing interest rate for similar debt without conversion option was 12% per annum. The tax
authorities do not allow any deduction for the imputed discount on the liability component of the convertible
TFCs.

On 1 October 2018, Alpha acquired 7.2 million shares in Gamma by means of a cash payment of Rs.
125 million. Alpha incurred costs of Rs. 1 million associated with this purchase and debited these
costs to administrative expenses in its draft statement of profit or loss for the year ended 30 September
2019. There has been no change in the carrying amount of this investment in the financial statements
of Alpha since 1 October 2018.
On 1 October 2018, the individual financial statements of Gamma showed the following reserves
balances:
a) Retained earnings Rs. 45 million.
b) Other components of equity Rs. 2 million.
On 1 October 2018, the fair values of the net assets of Gamma were the same as their carrying
amounts with the exception of some land which had a carrying amount of Rs. 100 million and a fair
value of Rs. 130 million. This land continued to be an asset of Gamma at 30 September 2019. The
fair value adjustment has not been reflected in the individual financial statements of Gamma. There
was no impairment of the goodwill arising on acquisition of Gamma in the consolidated financial
statements at 30 September 2019.
Alpha uses the proportionate share of net assets method to calculate non-controlling interests in
Gamma.
4. Other investments: Apart from its investments in Beta and Gamma, the investments of Alpha included in
the statement of financial position at 30 September 2019 are all financial assets which Alpha measures at fair
value though other comprehensive income. These other investments are correctly measured and updated in
Alpha’s financial statements in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.
5. Intra-group sale of inventories: The inventories of Alpha and Gamma at 30 September 2019 included
components purchased from Beta in the last three months of the financial year at an amount of Rs. 20 million
to Alpha and Rs. 16 million to Gamma. Beta supplied these goods to both Alpha and Gamma at a mark-up
of 25% on the cost to Beta.
6. Trade receivables and payables: Group policy is to clear intra-group balances on a given date prior to
each year end. All group companies had complied with this policy at 30 September 2019, so at that date there
were no outstanding intra-group balances.
7. Provision: On 30 September 2019, Alpha finalized the construction of an energy generating facility. The
facility has an expected useful economic life of 25 years and Alpha has a legal requirement to decommission
the facility at the end of its estimated useful life. The directors of Alpha estimated the costs of this
decommissioning to be Rs. 34 million – based on prices prevailing at 30 September 2044. The present value
of the cost of decommissioning the facility is Rs. 10 million. The directors of Alpha made a provision of Rs.
34 million and charged this amount as an operating cost in the financial statements of Alpha for the year
ended 30 September 2019.

Q.3 Ace Motors is the parent company of an international group which has a presentation and functional
currency of the Rupee. The group operates within the manufacturing sector. On 1 January 2015, Ace Motors
acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Dual Motors, an overseas subsidiary located in Bangladesh. The
functional currency of Dual Motors is Taka.
Ace Motors paid Taka 100 million for 80% of the share capital of Dual Motors on 1 January 2015. The net
assets of Dual Motors at this date had a carrying amount of Taka 60 million. The only fair value adjustment
deemed necessary was in relation to a building which had a fair value of Taka 20 million above its carrying
amount and a remaining useful life of 20 years at the acquisition date. Ace Motors measures the non-
controlling interests (NCI) at fair value for all acquisitions. The fair value of the 20% interest was estimated to
be Taka 22 million at acquisition.
Due to the relatively poor performance of Dual Motors, it was decided to impair goodwill by Taka 6 million
during the year ending 31 December 2018. No dividends have been paid by Dual Motors for several years. At
the start of 2019 Dual Motors sought additional debt finance. As Ace Motors was already looking to divest,
funds were raised from an issue of bonds in Taka, none of which were acquired by Ace Motors.
The acquisition was not as successful as anticipated therefore Ace Motors sold its entire equity shareholding
in Dual Motors on 30 September 2019 for Rs.150 million.
Rates of exchange between the Rs. and Taka are given as follows:
Carrying amount of Dual Motors’s net assets at 1 January 2019 Taka 48 million
Dual Motors loss for the year ended 31 December 2019 Taka 8 million
Cumulative exchange gains on Dual Motors at 1 January 2019 Rs.74·1 million
Non-controlling interest in Dual Motors at 1 January 2019 Rs.47·8 million
Required:
a) Regarding acquisition of Dual Motors, calculate the amount of goodwill on 01 January 2015 (acquisition
date) and at 30 September 2019 (disposal date). (5)
b) Calculate the group profit or loss on the disposal of Dual Motors at 30 September 2019 (10)
Q.4 Hi-secure (Pvt) Ltd (HS) is a security company and the original focus of the business is to install security
equipment but it has also expanded into design, maintenance, monitoring and security consultancy services.
The information as below relates to sales during the year:
Required:
a) You are required to calculate the revenue related to security package as per IFRS-15 for the year ended 31
December 2020 (your answer should cover 5 steps in details). (5)
b) Also calculate the adjustment required in revenue amount due to change in accounting policy for the year
ended 31 December 2020. (3)
Q.5 Goal Land (GL) is an internationally successful football club. GL is preparing the financial statements for the
year ending 31 October 2018. GL is currently facing liquidity problems and considering the below mentioned
arrangement:
(a) GL has entered into a contract regarding its stadium whereby it will sell the stadium on 30 November
2019 and immediately lease it back. The directors of GL wish to classify the stadium as a non-current asset
‘held for sale’ in its financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2018 as they believe though the sale is
expected after 1 year (13 months from now) but it is highly probable at that date. The cost to sell is zero.
(b) The sale contract requires the disposal of the stadium will be at its fair value (today market value) of Rs.
30 million and for GL to lease it back over 10 years. The present value of the lease payments at market rates
on 30 November 2019 will be Rs. 26 million. The market value for a stadium of this type is unlikely to
change in the near future. The stadium is being depreciated by 5% per annum using the reducing balance
method.
Information related to cost of stadium: At 31 October 2018, the carrying amount of the stadium, after
depreciation is Rs. 20 million.
Required:
(a) How the above matter will be reported in the financial statements for the year ended 31 October
2018. (4)
(b) Discuss the accounting treatment for the sale and leaseback of the stadium at 30 November 2019.

Q.6 Financial statements of Gohar Investment Limited (GIL) for the year ended 31 December 2020 are under
preparation. In this respect, following matters are under consideration:
Advanced Accounting and Financial Reporting - Page 6 of 7
(a) GIL has three investment properties on its books. GIL measures the investment properties at fair values
whereas owner-occupied properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The details of these properties are as follows.
Note-1: Property A relates to a commercial warehouse that had been let on a commercial basis for a number
of years. During the year property A was re-assigned as office space for the company. The tenants were
notified and vacated the premises on 1 May 2020. Property A was measured at Rs. 380 million on 1 May
2020 and Rs. 370 million on 31 December 2020. GIL charge depreciation at a rate of 2% per annum on a
monthly basis for the owner occupied properties.
Note-2: Property B was acquired in 2014 for Rs. 500 million. In late 2020, resulting from falling property
prices in this area, the directors agreed to dispose of this property. Since September, the property was put on
the market with an asking price of Rs. 440 million. Although there has been some interest in the property, no
firm offers had been made by the year end. Estimated cost of disposal is about Rs. 30 million. The value
remained at Rs. 440 million at 31 December 2020.
Note-3: Property C is valued at Rs.925 million at 31 December 2020 with no change in intention of
management about its use. (9)
(b) On 31 December 2020, one of the directors recently promoted to the board of GIL has been granted the right
to choose either:
50,000 shares of GIL; or
Receive a cash payment equal to the current value of 40,000 shares but at the settlement date.
The right has been granted to director based on recent performance and was unconditional at 31 Dec 2020.
The settlement date is 15 Jan 2022. Other information is as follows:
The market price per share of GIL at 31 Dec 2020 is Rs. 3 per share.
The estimated fair value of the share alternative is Rs. 2.50 per share
Note: If the director chooses the shares, he must have to keep the shares for a period of four years from the
settlement date. (6)
Required:
Discuss how the above matters should be dealt with in GIL’s financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2020. Show all calculations wherever possible.
Q.7 On 31 December 2020, Hali Ltd (HL) purchased Rs. 10 million 5% bonds in Silk Ltd (SL) at par value. The
bonds are repayable on 31 December 2023 and the effective rate of interest is 8%. HL’s business model is to
collect the contractual cash flows over the life of the asset. At 31 December 2020, the bonds were considered
to be low risk and as a result the 12-month expected credit losses are expected to be Rs. 10,000.
On 31 December 2021, SL paid the coupon interest, however, at that date the risks associated with the bonds
were deemed to have increased significantly. The present value of the repayments for the year ended 31
December 2022 was estimated to be Rs. 462,963 and the probability of default is 3%. At 31 December 2021,
it is also anticipated that no further coupon payments would be received during the year ended 31 December
2023 and only a portion of the nominal value of the bonds would be repaid. The present value of these cash
shortfalls was assessed to be Rs. 6,858,710 with a 5% likelihood of default in the year ended 31 December
2023.
Advanced Accounting and Financial Reporting - Page 7 of 7
Required:
Discuss how the bonds should be accounted for in the financial statements of HL as at 31 December 2020
and for the year ended 31 December 2021, including any impairment losses. (7)
Q.8 Following balances has been extracted from the trial balance of Multan Bank Limited (MBL) for the year
ended 31 December 2020.
Required:

(a) IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations addresses the accounting for assets which
are classified as held for sale. IFRS 5 requires a non-current asset to be classified as held for sale if its carrying
amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through its continuing use. It must be
available for immediate sale in its present condition, and its sale must be highly probable within 12 months of
classification as held for sale. The standard only foresees an exemption to this rule if the sale is delayed by events or
circumstances which are beyond the entity’s control, which is unlikely to be the case in this instance. GL has entered
into a firm sales commitment but the sale will occur after the 12-month threshold. Therefore, the stadium cannot be
classified as held for sale. Additionally, a sale and leaseback transaction is outside the scope of IFRS 5 and is covered
by IFRS 16 Leases.
(b) A sale and leaseback transaction occurs where an entity transfers an asset to another entity and leases that asset
back from the buyer/lessor. The first required criteria are to determine whether a sale has occurred. Under IFRS 16,
an entity must apply the IFRS 15 to determine when a performance obligation is satisfied (If it is concluded that the
transfer of an asset is not a sale, then the seller/lessee will continue to recognize the transferred asset).
GL should account for the sale and leaseback at 30 November 2019 as follows:
W-1:
Carrying amount of stadium is Rs. million 20
Less Depreciation for year to 31 October 2019 Rs. (20 x ·05) million (1)
Depreciation for November 2019 Rs. (20 – 1) x ·05)/12) million (0·08)
––––––
18·92
–––––––
W-2:
Present value of lease/fair value of asset = Rs. 26m/Rs. 30 x 100% = 86·67%
The right-of-use asset recorded will be 86·67% x Rs. 18·92 = Rs. 16·4 million.
SOLUTION -6
Part (a)
Property A
IAS 40 for a transfer from investment property carried at fair value to owner−occupied property, the fair value at the
change of use is the 'cost' of the property under its new classification. The 'cost' is then depreciated in accordance
with company rules.
PPE 4.93 Cr
The fair value at 31st December 2020 is only relevant in terms of an impairment review of GIL assets as the property
is now measured at cost under IAS16 rules, the fair value does not need to be disclosed.
Property –B
Property B is held for sale at 31st December 2020. Property B continues to be presented as an IAS 40 investment
property until it is disposed off (i.e. IFRS5 Non Current Assets held for sale and discontinued activities does not apply)
Change 10
Property-C
There is no change in use for Property C. Property C only needs to be restated to Fair Values at the year end.
Part (b)
Share-based payment to the new director, which offers a choice of cash or share settlement, is also treated as
the issue of a compound instrument. In this case, the fair value of the services is determined by the fair value
of the equity instruments given.
The fair value of the equity alternative is Rs. 2.50 x 50,000 = Rs. 125,000.
The cash alternative is valued at 40,000 x Rs. 3 = Rs. 120,000.
The difference between these two values – Rs. 5,000 [deemed to be the fair value of the equity component]
At the settlement date, the liability element would be measured at fair value and the method of settlement
chosen by the director would determine the final accounting treatment.
SOLUTION -7
The business model of HL is to collect the contractual cash flows of the bonds over the life of the asset, the bonds
should be measured at amortized cost. It would initially be recognized at fair value equal to the Rs. 10,000,000 paid
on acquisition of the bonds.
31-December-2020:
IFRS 9 requires entities to adopt an expected value approach to the consideration of impairment losses on financial
assets. On acquisition, the bonds are considered low risk and are not credit impaired. The bonds would be classified
as a stage one financial asset as at 31 December 2020. This means that HL Co should create an expected credit loss
equal to 12 months expected credit losses.
HL Co should therefore recognize a default allowance of Rs.10,000 as at 31 December 2020. This will be expensed
to profit or loss and a separate allowance created rather than offset against the Rs.10,000,000 bonds. The allowance
is, however, netted off the Rs.10,000,000 bonds in the statement of financial position of HL Co as at 31 December
2020. The carrying amount of the bonds in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2020 will be Rs.9·99
million (Rs.10 million – Rs.10,000).
31-December-2021:
The bonds are to be measured at amortized cost with the effective rate of interest of 8%, the carrying amount, before
any impairment, will be Rs.10,300,000 at 31 December 2021 calculated as follows:
Op. BAL Interest 8%(P&L) Coupon 5% Cl. Bal
Rs.
10,000,000 800,000 (500,000) 10,300,000
At 31 December 2021, there has been a significant increase in credit risk. As no actual default has yet occurred, the
bonds should be classified as a stage two financial asset. This means that HL Co should make an allowance to
recognize the lifetime expected credit losses. This is defined as the expected credit losses (cash shortfalls) which result
from all possible default events over the expected life of the bonds. The expected default losses are discounted using
the original effective rate of interest of 8%.
Date PV @ default probability Default value (@PV)
The loss allowance is deducted directly from the bonds with future interest income recorded on the gross position.
The carrying amount of the bonds at 31 December 2021 would be Rs. 9,943,175 (Rs.10,300,000 - Rs.356,825).

FL designs, manufactures and sells designer clothing in Pakistan and the UAE. The company sells its
clothing online and through its own store, which opened in June 2020. In addition, FL has a three-year
contract to sell its designer clothing to Momin Department Store Ltd (MDS), a major retailer in
Karachi.
FL’s website enables customers to order clothing online from the comfort of their own home, as well as
join the company’s VIP membership club. The VIP membership club members pay an annual
subscription, for which they receive exclusive offers and discounts throughout the year.
Revenue
The contract provides MDS with exclusivity, which prohibits FL from supplying the designer clothing
ranges to any other retailer. The income generated from the contract accounts for approximately 20% of
FL’s total revenue, and FL achieves a 25% gross profit margin on these sales. The contract is due for
renewal on 30 June 2021. MDS has written to FL stating that it believes the opening of FL’s new store is
in breach of the exclusivity agreement.
New Premises
The purchase of the premises and fixtures for the new store was financed by a five-year loan from the
company’s bank which requires FL to meet loan covenants set out in the loan agreement. Any breach of
the loan covenants would result in the loan becoming repayable immediately.
Government Grant
FL received Rs. 3,500,000 in grant aid from a government agency in June 2020 towards new equipment
purchased during the year (with an expected useful life of 10 years). This grant was contingent on 10
new positions being created in FL by 31 December 2020. At 31 December 2020, FL was able to employ
only 5 new staff members. FL has had no correspondence with the government agency since the grant
was received in June 2020.
Extracts from the planning meeting with Ms Komal and Jamal and audit engagement partner and
audit manager are as follows:
On 10 February 2021, as part of audit planning Ms Komal and Mr. Jamal highlighted the following:
1) FL is being sued by a competitor who claims that one of FL’s new clothing ranges, ‘FOXY, has
infringed the trademark owned by the competitor for that brand name. The outcome of the claim
will not be known until after the audit report is signed.
2) FL sources its luxury materials internationally; however, its main supplier, FTL, is located in New
York. All purchases from FTL are invoiced and payable in US Dollars. Due to fluctuations in the
foreign exchange rate, cost of the materials from New York has significantly increased. Ms Komal is
therefore trying to source the materials in Pakistan; however, she is concerned about the quality of
the materials and believes that it may be compromised.
3) During November 2020, FL was the subject of adverse publicity regarding the quality of the latest
clothing range, ‘LUNAR’. As a result, FL has decided to sell this particular clothing range at a
discount of 50% in the January sale.
Audit, Assurance and Related Services - Page 2 of 5
4) The management prepared the financial statements for the full year ending 31 December 2020 and
has provided the summary below. Ms Komal explained that the difference between actual and
budgeted performance was due to higher than expected interest costs on the bank loan and

Q.2 You are a senior manager at Aqeel and Co. Chartered Accountants. You are responsible for reviewing
quality control and ethical matters which arise within the firm. The following matters for three different
clients are under review:
(a) Your firm is planning the audit of AQ Limited (AQL), who specialize in the provision of loans and
financial advice to individuals and companies. Aqeel & Co. has audited AQL for many years.
The directors are planning to list AQL on a stock exchange within the next few months and have asked
if the engagement partner can attend meetings with potential investors. In addition, as the finance
director of AQL is likely to be quite busy with the listing, he has asked if Aqeel & Co. can produce the
financial statements for the current year.
During the year, the assistant finance director of AQL left and joined Aqeel & Co. as a partner. It has
been suggested that due to familiarity with AQL, he should be appointed to provide an independent
partner review for the audit.
The AQL finance director has indicated that once the stock exchange listing has been completed, he
would like the audit engagement team to attend a weekend away at a luxury hotel with his team, as a
thank you for all of their hard work. In addition, he has offered a senior member of the audit
engagement team a short-term loan at a significantly reduced interest rate.
Required:
Discuss the ethical concerns which may affect the independence of Aqeel & Co’s audit of AQL and
explain appropriate safeguards. (4)
(b) Edge Ltd (EL) is a major audit client of Aqeel and Co. It is listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange. The
audit team assigned on EL consists of eight members including IT assistant manager, name Mr.
Rehman, who has recently been hired by Aqeel and Co. Mr. Rehman has just joined a personal pension
plan that invests in all the listed companies on Pakistan Stock Exchange.
Required:
Discuss the professional and ethical issues arising in the above situations and related safeguards. (4)
(c) Alpha Tech Limited (ATL) is a long standing listed audit client of your firm. Mr. Ali has been the
audit engagement partner of ATL in 2014, 2015 and 2018 and earlier to this, he acted as an engagement
quality control reviewer from 2009 to 2012. Your firm is reviewing the eligibility of Mr. Ali to act as
engagement partner for ATL for next year ending 30 June 2021.

Q.3 You are a manager in the audit department of Mian and Co. Chartered Accountants. The following
matters for different clients are under review:
(a) Blue Ltd, an audit client of your firm, is an electrical manufacturer and retailer. The final audit for
the year ended 30 June 2021 is nearing completion and you are reviewing the audit working papers. The
draft financial statements recognize total assets of Rs. 215 million (2020 – Rs. 208 million), revenue of
Rs. 165 million (2020 –Rs. 148.4 million) and profit before tax of Rs. 41 million (2020 – Rs. 56.4
million). Two issues from the audit working papers are summarized below:
Warranty provision
Each year, management makes a provision for electrical goods returned under warranty. It is based on
an estimate of return levels for each product type (washing machines, fridges, ovens, TVs etc) and is
calculated on an annual basis by the sales director. The breakdown for the current provision, as
extracted from the notes to the financial statements, is as follows:
Rs. (Million)
At 1 July 2020 9.5
Provisions charged during the year 1.5
Provisions utilized during the year (1.9)
Unutilized provisions reversed (1.1)
At 30 June 2021 8.0
Non-Current Assets
On review of the board minutes, in April 2021, the company decided to sell some of its retail units. They
are currently on the market for sale, and management is hoping for a quick sale. Non-Current Assets of
Rs. 16,500,000 have been classified as held for sale at the year-end. From discussions with the finance
director, the fair value of the non-current assets less cost to sell is Rs. 13,250,000.
Required:
Evaluate the above matters and describe the audit evidence expected while reviewing an audit file (10)
(b) Red Gas Co (RGC), a main supplier of gas to business and residential customers across the country.
The draft financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 recognize profit before tax of Rs. 1,300
million (2020 – Rs. 1,100 million), and total assets of Rs. 19,000 million (2020 – Rs. 18,780 million).
The below mentioned matter has been noted for your attention by the audit senior:
A provision of Rs. 4,300 million (2020 – Rs. 4,880 million) is recognized as a long-term liability in
respect of decommissioning a number of gas production and storage facilities at the end of their useful
lives. The estimate of the decommissioning costs has been based on price levels and technology at the
reporting date, and discounted to present value using an interest rate of 8% (2020 – 6%). The timing of
decommissioning payments is dependent on the estimated useful lives but is expected to occur by 2050,
with the majority of the provision being utilized between 2030 and 2045.
The accounting policy note discusses the methodology being used by the management for determining
the liability and states that this is an area of critical accounting judgments and estimation uncertainty.
Management decided to produce their own estimate for the year ended 30 June 2021. Earlier
management expert was engaged but that was expansive.
Required:
Explain the audit evidence you should expect to find during your file review in respect of the above
matter. (7)

Q.4 You are the audit manager responsible for the audit of Rocket Co. Rocket Co. is a listed entity operating
in the engineering industry. The company manufactures machinery for use in the aircraft, defense and
marine sectors. The audit for the year ended 30 June 2021 is at completion stage.
The revenue and profit before tax figures recognized in the draft financial statements are Rs.1,437
million and Rs.139 million, respectively (2020 – Rs.1,489 million and Rs. 175 million respectively).
While reviewing the audit working paper, you came to know about two sales transactions made in the
fourth quarter of the year. These transactions relate to two different customers but delivery of goods was
given to the same location. Further investigations revealed that the goods were delivered to a third party
because both of the customers are building new facilities and neither is sufficiently progressed to receive
the new machinery.
The contract terms explicitly state that Rocket Co is obliged to deliver the goods to the customers for
final inspection and acceptance and the client has not agreed to any consequent amendments to these
terms. The sales invoices were raised and the revenue recognized upon dispatch of the goods to the
storage facility. During discussions with the audit team, the finance director stated that the company had
fulfilled its contractual obligations to provide the goods by a specified date. The revenue attributable to
the two transactions totaled Rs.17 million.
Required:
Evaluate the above situation and discuss the implications for the auditor’s report if management is not
willing to adjust the financial statement, if required. (6)
Q.5 You are an audit manager responsible for the audit of Lifecare Co for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Lifecare Co is an unlisted retail company which is a new audit client of your firm this year. The
company’s draft financial statements recognize profit before tax of Rs. 20.15 million (2020 – Rs. 10.95
million) and total assets of Rs. 130.8 million (2020 – Rs. 120.7million). You are reviewing the audit
working papers and audit supervisor has brought the below mentioned matter to your attention:
Lifecare Co. owns a building which it has used as a warehouse to store inventory. On 1 April 2020 the
building had a carrying amount of Rs. 3,230,000 and a fair value of Rs. 3,480,000. On this date, Lifecare
Co vacated the building and moved the inventory to new larger premises. Management decided to keep
the building in order to rent it out as a storage facility to local customers and to benefit from any
increases in property valuations.
On 31 March 2021, the building had not been let and it had a fair value of Rs. 3,530,000. The draft
financial statements for the current year recognize the building as an investment property at a carrying
amount of Rs. 3,530,000 and include a fair value gain of Rs. 300,000 in profit before tax for the year.
Since reclassification as an investment property, depreciation has not been charged in relation to the
building.
Required:
You are required to evaluate the impact of the above matter on the audit report based on the fact that no
further adjustments have been made to the financial statements. (8)
Q.6 You are the audit manager in Gulshan and co. chartered Accountants. Your firm is the external auditor
of Vital Ltd (VL) and its Pakistani subsidiaries. VL has recently acquired 100% of the share capital of

Warranty provision:
Overview:
a) The yearend provisions represent 3.72% of total assets and 19.51% of profit. It is therefore
material to the financial statements.
b) The estimate of returns is clearly subject to significant subjectivity. This increases the risk of
material misstatements due to both error and manipulations.
c) The sales director estimates the returns made, however production manager/quality control
manager should also be involved in the process as they may be aware of an electrical fault, if
any,within the goods.
Evidence expected to be found on file:
a) Copies of sales contracts with customers to include details of terms and conditions and the length
of the warranty period.
b) Discussions with the sales director, to check the assumptions made, and their calculations.
c) Discussions with the production manager/quality control manager to see if the estimated returns
appear reasonable, and if there are any known issues in respect of the goods sold.

e) The audit team, should have recalculated the provision, and discussed any differences.
f) The audit team should review the calculation of the total unutilized provision reversed during the

Fixed Assets
Overview:
a) The retail units have been classified as assets held of sale at the year end.
b) The balance is material, as it is 40.24% of profit before tax, and 7.67% of total assets.
c) It is clear the assets are correctly classified as assets held for sale, as they meet the criteria stated in
IFRS 5 “Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”:
i. Management is committed to sell
ii. The assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition
iii. The sale is highly probable, as management is looking for a quick sale, so should
therefore be sold within 12 months.
Evidence expected to be found on file:
a) A copy of the board minutes, where it was noted, that the company decided to sell some of their
retail units.
b) Evidence that the retail units are already on the market (brochure from the estate agents/evidence
online)

b) It is unusual that a decommissioning provision has been reduced in value
c) Provision should have been measured at best estimate and discounted to present value.
d) The reason for the change in interest rate needs to be fully understood.
e) Consideration of accounting entries and whether they indicate an attempt to boost profit for the
year.
f) Whether it is appropriate that management has not used an expert to determine the estimate or
consideration of adequacy of management’s competence.
g) An independent estimate prepared by the audit team, compared to management’s estimate, and
with significant variances discussed with management.

SOLUTION - 4
Concern as an auditor:
a. Management has delivered the goods to the third party and sales invoices are raised and revenue
is recognised. The contract requires that final inspection by customer is mandatory.
b. As per IFRS-15, performance obligations are not completely satisfied by the entity.
c. IFRS-15 requires that revenue should be recorded once the control has been transferred to the
entity. In our case, this occurs when customer has inspected the delivered goods. It should be also
considered whether customer has consented to such delivery and performed inspection.
d. The effect of the matter on the financial statements are calculated as below:
i. 17m/1.437m = 1.18% based on revenue (threshold ranging from 0.5% to 1%)
ii. 17m/139m = 12.23% based on Profit (threshold ranging from 5% to 10%)
e. The matter is material with reference to revenue and profit, if revenue is not adjusted in the
financial statements as per IFRS-15.
Audit Procedures:
a. Discuss with management how the contract term of satisfactory inspection is covered by entity.
b. If not covered, request the management to make adjustment in the financial statements.
c. Obtain confirmation from customer.
d. Evaluate the possible impacts and intentions of the management behind such accounting
treatment.
Reporting:
Overstatement of Revenue in financial statement:
The sale of two items is material to the income statement, so non-adjustment is a material misstatement.
As per ISA 705 a modifications to the Opinion is required. The auditor should express a qualified 'except
for' opinion, as the misstatement is material but not so pervasive as to render the income statement
meaningless.
The auditor's should discuss the reasons for the modified opinion in the ‘basis for qualified opinion
paragraph’, including the nature of the sales transactions, its financial effect on the financial statements
and state that this is in breach of IFRS-15.
SOLUTION - 5
Concern as an auditor:
(a) The management has vacated the building for rental purposes as well as for capital appreciation.
The management has classified the building as an investment property and the total difference in
carrying value and the fair value at reporting date is treated as gain on investment property and
recorded in profit and loss.
(b) The accounting treatment by management is correct in respect of the following:
i) Classification of building as an investment property: The warehouse has been held to
earn rentals as well as for capital appreciation from 1 April 2020 therefore qualifies as an
investment property. IAS 40 defines an investment property as land and/or buildings held to
earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. Further, the fact that the property has not yet

Test 6 Suggested Answer

been let by the reporting date does not impact on this classification. The end of owner-
occupation of the warehouse is evidence of the change in use to an investment property.
ii) No depreciation: Depreciation is not recorded which is correct because once the property
is classified as an investment property, depreciation is not allowed under IAS-40.
(c) The management’s accounting treatment in respect of following is incorrect:
i) Gain on reclassification is not recorded as revaluation surplus: On transfer of an
owner‑occupied property recognized at depreciated historical cost, which has not been
previously impaired, to investment property carried at fair value, IAS 40 requires that any
resulting increase in the carrying amount should be recognized in other comprehensive
income as a revaluation surplus within equity, whereas the management has not recoded the
same.
ii) Gain after reclassification: After reclassification of an asset as an investment property,
gain should be recorded in profit and loss.
(d) The management should reclassify the gain being recorded in profit and loss as following:
i) Lifecare Co should recognize the initial increase of Rs. 250,000 (Rs. 3,480,000 – Rs.
3,230,000) in other comprehensive income rather than in its profit for the year.
ii) The additional increase of Rs. 50,000 (Rs. 3,530,000 – Rs. 3,480,000) which arises during
the current year should be recognized in this year’s profit or loss.
(e) The profit and loss is overstated by Rs. 250,000 and the amount is immaterial as it represents only
1.24% [Rs. 250,000/20.15million] of profit before tax against threshold ranging from 5%.
Audit procedures:
a) Discuss the matter with the management about the reclassification of gain to other comprehensive
income instead of profit and loss.
b) The auditor should consider whether such misstatement is in isolation or management is following
the same practice for other investment properties.
Reporting:
As the overstatement represents 1.24% of profit before tax and therefore immaterial in isolation. The
auditor should consider what will be the impact on audit opinion if this misstatement is combined
other uncorrected misstatements. As this misstatement is immaterial, the auditor’s report would not
need to be modified.

[Part (a)]
Based on the matters as provided in point (a) to (e), it is clearly evident that 60% of the revenue is
gone. It seems to be impossible that Dux Ltd will be able to sale the product to the same customer
because the customer is considering filing for bankruptcy. Further, the product is of specialized nature
therefore finding new customer will also be difficult.
The company is hopeful in finding the new customer as well as 40% revenue can be generated in next
financial year. Based on the above events and conditions, it can be concluded that going concern
basis of accounting is appropriate but a material uncertainty exist. The financial statement must
include disclosure related to material uncertainty.
It is specifically mentioned that management has informed not to include any additional disclosure.
An adverse opinion will be provided in the audit opinion due to non-disclosure of material
uncertainty. Non disclosure may affect decisions of the users of the financial statements due to its
multiple impacts on the financial statements as follows:
a) 60% of subsequent period revenue is in doubt
b) The existing stock may also be obsolete and required NRV testing.
c) Property, plant and equipment for such a special product may be impaired.
d) Due to loss of revenue, banks may have concern over the performance.
e) Provision for doubtful debts is not provided
So the impact on financial statements is material and pervasive.

b) The opinion of specific element is not published with the auditor report on complete set of
financial statements; and
c) That specific element doesn’t constitute a major portion of complete set of financial
statements.
In our case trade debts (specific element) constitute 60% of current assets therefore can be treated as
major portion of the complete set of financial statements even in the absence of information about the
non-current assets. Therefore an unmodified opinion can’t be provided on audit report of trade debts.
