SUBSTANTIVE TESTS OF
LIABILITIES

a.

Accounts receivable the auditors objective is to test the existence of

accounts receivable.
Accounts payable the auditors objective is to test the completeness of
accounts payable.

b.

Accounts receivable In selecting accounts for confirmation, auditors focus

on a variety of characteristics, including
high-volume vendors.
high-value accounts.
accounts significantly smaller than in a previous period.
small or zero-balance accounts.
Accounts payable In selecting accounts for confirmation, auditors focus on
large, small, or dormant accounts and on vendors the client starts using
around year end.

16-2.

c.

Basic information included on the confirmation requests is the same for

accounts receivable and for accounts payable.

d.

Procedures for mailing are substantially the same for accounts receivable and
for accounts payable.

e.

For accounts receivable, an auditor examines documentary evidence that

indicates the customer was shipped goods and ultimately paid for them. For
accounts payable, if the objective of the confirmation process is to test the
existence of a payable and the vendor does not respond, the auditor should
attempt to verify existence of the liability by performing tests such as
examining the purchase order, the receiving report, and the vendors invoice
for the transaction. If the objective is to test completeness, the auditor should
reconcile accounts payable or reconcile to subsequent payments.

a.

The auditor should perform the following procedures:

Trace balance per confirmation request to confirmation of the supplier /
creditor.
Trace balance per general ledger to subsidiary ledger.
Trace payments made to cash payments journal and paid checks.
For invoices not received at December 31, 2015, determine invoice date.

16-2

Applied Auditing 2014 Edition Solutions Manual

16-3.

For goods shipped FOB destination, examine invoice to determine terms.

For goods shipped FOB shipping point, examine shipping document.
Ask client to explain unlocated differences, and then follow up to
determine that the clients explanation was valid.

b.

For accounts not confirmed, the auditor should substantiate that a shipment
was received by examining the receiving report, the invoice copy, and
subsequent payment if possible.

c.

The accounts payable clerk should not routinely perform the reconciliation of
monthly statements to the listing of accounts or vouchers payable. Whether
the accounts payable clerk or another employee performs the activity, the
auditor must substantiate the validity of the explanations.

a.

The accounts payable audit procedures should be directed toward searching

for proper inclusion of all accounts payable (completeness) and ascertaining
that recorded amounts are reasonably stated (valuation), because the primary
audit purpose is to reveal any possible material understatements. The
principal objectives of the accounts payable examination are
to determine the adequacy of internal control for processing and payment
of invoices.
to prove that amounts shown on the balance sheet are in agreement with
supporting accounting records.
to determine that liabilities existing at the balance sheet date have been
recorded.

b.

Tan is not required to use accounts payable confirmation procedures. Unlike

accounts receivable, accounts payable require no opinions as to valuation.
The auditor is required to obtain direct confirmation of accounts receivable,
since the primary audit test is for possible material overstatements and the
client usually has available only internal documents, such as sales invoices.
For accounts payable, the auditor can examine external evidence, such as
vendor invoices and vendor statements that substantiates the accounts payable
balance. Although not required, accounts payable confirmation procedures
are often used. The auditor might consider using them when
internal controls are weak.
the company is in a tight cash position, and bill paying is slow.
physical inventories exceed general ledger inventory balances by
significant amounts.
certain vendors do not send statements.
vendor accounts are pledged by assets.
vendor accounts include unusual transactions.

Substantive Tests of Liabilities

16-4.

16-3

c.

A selection technique using the large peso balances of accounts is generally

used when the primary audit objective is to test for overstatements (e.g.,
accounts receivable audit work). Accounts with zero balances or relatively
small balances would not be subjected to selection under such an approach.
When auditing accounts payable, the auditor is primarily concerned with the
possibility of unrecorded payables or understatement of recorded payables.
Selection of accounts with relatively small or zero balances for confirmation
is the more efficient direction of testing since understatements are more likely
to be detected when examining such accounts. When selecting accounts
payable for confirmation, the following procedures could be followed:
Analyze the accounts payable population and stratify it into accounts
with large balances, accounts with small balances, and accounts with
zero balances.
Use a sampling technique that selects items based on criteria other than
the peso amount of the items (e.g., select based on terminal digits, select
every nth item based on predetermined interval, etc.).
Design a statistical sampling plan that will place more emphasis on
selecting accounts with zero balances or relatively small balances,
particularly when the client has had substantial transactions with such
vendors during the year.
Select prior-year vendors that are no longer used.
Select new vendors used in the subsequent period.
Select vendor that do not provide periodic statements.
Select accounts reflecting unusual transactions during the year.
Select accounts secured by pledged assets.

a.

The fact that the client made a journal entry to record vendors invoices that
were received late should simplify the CPAs test for unrecorded liabilities
and reduce the possibility of the need for a further adjustment, but the CPAs
test is nevertheless required. Clients normally are expected to make
necessary adjustments to their books so that the CPA can examine statements
that the client believes are complete and correct. If the client has not
journalized late invoices, the CPA is compelled to substantiate what
ultimately will be recorded as an adjusting entry. In this examination, the
CPA should test entries in the 2004 voucher register to ascertain that all items
that according to dates of receiving reports or vendors invoices were
applicable to 2015 have been included in the journal entry recorded by the
client.

b.

No. The CPA should obtain a letter in which responsible executives of the
clients organization represent that to the best of their knowledge all liabilities
have been recognized. However, this is done as a normal audit procedure to
afford additional assurance to the CPA; it does not eliminate the need to
perform his or her own tests.

16-4

Applied Auditing 2014 Edition Solutions Manual

c.

Whenever a CPA is justified in relying on work done by an internal auditor,

he or she should curtail (but not eliminate) his or her own audit work. In this
case, the CPA should have ascertained early in the examination that Oracles
internal auditor is qualified by being both technically competent and
reasonably independent. Once satisfied on these points, the CPA should
discuss the nature and scope of the internal audit program with the internal
auditor and should review the working papers so that the CPA may properly
coordinate his or her own program with that of the internal auditor. If the
Oracle internal auditor is qualified and has made tests for unrecorded
liabilities, the CPA can perform only a brief test in this audit area.

d.

Work done by an auditor for a government agency will normally have no

effect on the scope of the CPAs audit, since the concern of the government
auditors is usually limited to matters unrelated to the financial statements.
Nevertheless, the CPA should discuss the government auditors work
program with her since there are isolated situations where specific procedures
followed to a satisfactory conclusion by a government auditor will furnish the
CPA with added assurance and therefore permit certain work in a particular
area to be curtailed. However, government auditors are usually primarily
interested in substantiating as valid and allowable those costs that a company
has allocated against specific government contracts or sales to the
government; consequently, there is little likelihood that the auditor for a
government agency would check for unrecorded liabilities at Oracle.

e.

In addition to the 2016 voucher register, the CPA should consider the
following sources for possible unrecorded liabilities:
Unentered vendors invoice file
Tax returns for prior years, the status of which is still open
Discussions with employees
Representations from management
Comparison of account balances with preceding-year balances
Examination of individual accounts during the audit
Existing contracts and agreements
Minutes of meetings
Attorneys bills and letters of representation
Status of renegotiable business
Correspondence with principal suppliers
Audit testing of cutoff date for reciprocal accounts (e.g., inventory, fixed
assets)

AFC Manufacturing
Requirement (a)
It is essential to coordinate the cutoff tests with the physical observation of
inventory. If the cutoff is inconsistent with the physical inventory there can be
significant errors in the income statement and the balance sheet. For example,
assume an inventory acquisition for P40,000 is received late in the afternoon of
December 31, after the physical inventory is completed. If the acquisition is
included in accounts payable and purchases but excluded from inventory, the
result is an understatement of net earnings of P40,000. On the other hand, if the
acquisition is excluded from both inventory and accounts payable, there is an error
in the balance sheet, but the income statement is correct.

Requirement (c)
Typically errors which have an effect on earnings are most important because of
the importance of earnings to users of financial statements. Receiving report
numbers 2633 and 2635 affect earnings. In addition, these errors are more
important because they represent the recording of part of the entry. If they are not
adjusted, the inventory balance the following year will be understated by
P13,667.22 (P5,182.31 + P8,484.91). For the other three items (receiving report
numbers 2632, 2634 and 2637), the error is less important because they would be
recorded the following year and the account balances would then be proper.
