Terms of Audit Engagements
The auditor and the client should agree on the terms of the engagement. The agreed terms
would need to be recorded in an audit engagement letter or other suitable form of contract.
It is in the interest of both client and auditor that the auditor sends an engagement letter,
preferably before the commencement of the engagement, to help in avoiding misunderstandings
with respect to the engagement.
Principal Contents
The form and content of audit engagement letters may vary for each client, but they would
generally include reference to:
The objective of the audit of financial statements.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements.
The scope of the audit, including reference to applicable legislation, regulations, or
pronouncements of professional bodies to which the auditor adheres.
The form of any reports or other communication of results of the engagement.
The fact that because of the test nature and other inherent limitations of an audit,
together with the inherent limitations of any accounting and internal control system,
there is an unavoidable risk that even some material misstatement may remain
undiscovered.
Unrestricted access to whatever records, documentation and other information
requested in connection with the audit.
Audits of Components
When the auditor of a parent entity is also the auditor of its subsidiary, branch or division
(component), the factors that influence the decision whether to send a separate engagement
letter to the component include:
Who appoints the auditor of the component.
Whether a separate audit report is to be issued on the component.
Legal requirements.
The extent of any work performed by other auditors.
Degree of ownership by parent.
Degree of independence of the component’s management.
Recurring Audits
On recurring audits, the auditor should consider whether circumstances require the terms of the
engagement to be revised and whether there is a need to remind the client of the existing terms
of the engagement.
The auditor may decide not to send a new engagement letter each period. However, the
following factors may make it appropriate to send a new letter:
Any indication that the client misunderstands the objective and scope of the audit.
Any revised or special terms of the engagement.
A recent change of senior management, board of directors or ownership.
A significant change in nature or size of the client’s business.
Legal requirements.
Items 1 and 2 would ordinarily be considered a reasonable basis for requesting a change in the
engagement. In contrast a change would not be considered reasonable if it appeared that the
change relates to information that is incorrect, incomplete or otherwise unsatisfactory.
If the auditor is unable to agree to a change of engagement and is not permitted to continue the
original agreement:
the auditor should withdraw; and
consider whether there is any obligation, either contractual or otherwise, to report to
other parties, such as the board of directors or shareholders, the circumstances
necessitating the withdrawal.

liquidated. However, in the case of wasting asset corporation or mining company,

company declared as dividends are not stock dividends but property dividends. Stock
dividends whether of the same class or different are not income.

memorandum entry on the part of the stockholder. It does not affect the total
cost of the investment but reduce the cost of the investment per share.
- Stock dividends of different class are not income. However, the original cost
of the investment is apportioned between the original shares and the stock
dividends on the basis of market value of each at the date of receipt.
- Shares received in lieu of cash dividends are income at fair value of the shares
received. Ina the absence of fair value of the shares received, the income is
equal to the cash dividends that would have been received.
- Cash received in lieu of stock dividends, stock dividends are assumed to be
received and subsequently sold at the cash received.
Stock Split
- A corporation may restructure its capital by effecting a change in the number
of shares of stock without capitalizing retained earnings or changing the
amount of its legal capital. This restructuring is stock split.
- It does not affect the total cost of investment. But there is a decrease or an
increase in the cost per share because the total cost now will apply to a larger
or smaller number of shares.
