Class Schedule:
Date Submitted:

Module Overview:
In Module 1, you will read about the overview of the audit process. The topic covers the different
assertions to be used for specific accounts. For thorough learning, there are focus questions provided for the
students. These questions are basically relative to the insights students gotten from reading the content of the
module and its corresponding textbook reference. For Abstraction or Generalization of instructional content, a
brief lecture notes on audit procedure is provided here followed by a learning activity where students will
construct in good form a set of financial statements.

Learning Outcomes
After completing this module, students must have:
 Explain pre-engagement activities and the different phases of on audit.
 Understand the difference between audit strategy, audit plan and audit program
 Identify the activities in risk assessment.
 Identify different categories of transaction cycles.
LECTURE NOTES

Audit

An audit is a systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence regarding assertions about
economic actions and events to ascertain the degree of correspondence between these assertions and
established criteria and communicating the results thereof.

Audit Process
The audit process is the sequence of different activities involved in an audit. This process normally includes the
following steps:
PHASE DESCRIPTION
1. Pre-engagement This phase will require a decision from the auditor whether or not to accept a new
client or continue relationship with an existing one. This process would require
evaluation not only of the auditor’s qualification, but also the integrity and auditability
of the client’s financial statements.

Primary Objective: To minimize the likelihood of being associated to a client whose


management lacks integrity.
2. Audit planning Audit planning involves the development of an overall audit strategy, audit plan and
audit program. The auditor usually obtained more detailed knowledge about the
client’s business and industry in order to understand the transactions and events
affecting the financial statements.

Preliminary assessment of risk and materiality is also made during this phase.

Primary Objective: To assess the different risks associated with the audit to determine
the nature, timing and extent or further audit procedures necessary to be performed.
3. Consideration of Since entity’s internal control directly affects the reliability of the financial statements,
internal controls it is appropriate to study and evaluate these controls.

Primary Objective: To establish a basis for reliance on internal controls, in determining


the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures to be performed.
4. Evidence Using the information obtained in audit planning and consideration of internal
gathering controls, the auditor performs substantive test to determine whether entity ’s financial
(Substantive statements are presented fairly in accordance with financial reporting standards.
Testing) Substantive procedures could either be analytical procedures or test of details of

Page 9 of 58
transactions and balances.

This phase will always be performed by the auditor.

Primary Objective: To ascertain the degree of correspondence between the financial


statements prepared by client’s management and the financial reporting framework.
With this, the auditor will be able to conclude whether or not the financial statements
are presented fairly in accordance with financial reporting standards.
5. Completing the Wrapping-up procedures are performed; conclusions reached are reviewed; and an
Audit overall opinion is formed during this phase.

Primary Objective: To assist the auditor in assessing conclusion reached is consistent


with evidence gathered.
6. Issuance of the In this stage, auditor prepares and issues audit report which describes the scope of the
Audit Report audit and states the auditor’s conclusion regarding the fairness of the financial
statements.

Primary Objective: To communicate the conclusions reached by the auditor to various


intended users.
7. Post-audit After completion of audit engagement, auditor performs procedures that will enable
responsibilities him/her identify areas for improvement in the current and future engagements.
Primary Objective: To assess and evaluate the quality of services delivered by the
engagement team.

AUDIT PLANNING (PSA 300)


Introduction
01        This standard establishes requirements regarding planning an audit.

Objective
02        The objective of the auditor is to plan the audit so that the audit is conducted effectively.

Responsibility of the Engagement Partner for Planning


03        The engagement partner is responsible for the engagement and its performance. Accordingly, the
engagement partner is responsible for planning the audit and may seek assistance from appropriate
engagement team members in fulfilling this responsibility. Engagement team members who assist the
engagement partner with audit planning also should comply with the relevant requirements in this standard.

Planning an Audit
04        The auditor should properly plan the audit. This standard describes the auditor's responsibilities for
properly planning the audit.
05        Planning the audit includes establishing the overall audit strategy for the engagement and developing an
audit plan, which includes, in particular, planned risk assessment procedures and planned responses to the risks
of material misstatement. Planning is not a discrete phase of an audit but, rather, a continual and iterative
process that might begin shortly after (or in connection with) the completion of the previous audit and continues
until the completion of the current audit.

Preliminary Engagement Activities


06     The auditor should perform the following activities at the beginning of the audit:
a. Perform procedures regarding the continuance of the client relationship and the specific audit
engagement,

b. Determine compliance with independence and ethics requirements, and

Note:   The determination of compliance with independence and ethics requirements is not limited to
preliminary engagement activities and should be reevaluated with changes in circumstances.

c. Establish an understanding of the terms of the audit engagement with the audit committee in
accordance with AS 1301, Communications with Audit Committees.

Planning Activities
07        The nature and extent of planning activities that are necessary depend on the size and complexity of the
company, the auditor's previous experience with the company, and changes in circumstances that occur during
the audit. When developing the audit strategy and audit plan, as discussed in paragraphs .08-.10, the auditor
should evaluate whether the following matters are important to the company's financial statements and internal
control over financial reporting and, if so, how they will affect the auditor's procedures:
 Knowledge of the company's internal control over financial reporting obtained during other
engagements performed by the auditor;
 Matters affecting the industry in which the company operates, such as financial reporting practices,
economic conditions, laws and regulations, and technological changes;
 Matters relating to the company's business, including its organization, operating characteristics, and
capital structure;
 The extent of recent changes, if any, in the company, its operations, or its internal control over financial
reporting;
 The auditor's preliminary judgments about materiality, 5 risk, and, in integrated audits, other factors
relating to the determination of material weaknesses;
 Control deficiencies previously communicated to the audit committee 6 or management;
 Legal or regulatory matters of which the company is aware;
 The type and extent of available evidence related to the effectiveness of the company's internal control
over financial reporting;
 Preliminary judgments about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting;
 Public information about the company relevant to the evaluation of the likelihood of material financial
statement misstatements and the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial
reporting;
Page 12 of 58
 Knowledge about risks related to the company evaluated as part of the auditor's client acceptance and
retention evaluation; and
 The relative complexity of the company's operations.
Note:  Many smaller companies have less complex operations. Additionally, some larger, complex companies
may have less complex units or processes. Factors that might indicate less complex operations include: fewer
business lines; less complex business processes and financial reporting systems; more centralized accounting
functions; extensive involvement by senior management in the day-to-day activities of the business; and fewer
levels of management, each with a wide span of control.

Audit Strategy
08        The auditor should establish an overall audit strategy that sets the scope, timing, and direction of the
audit and guides the development of the audit plan.

09        In establishing the overall audit strategy, the auditor should take into account:
a. The reporting objectives of the engagement and the nature of the communications required by PCAOB
standards,
b. The factors that are significant in directing the activities of the engagement team,
c. The results of preliminary engagement activities and the auditor's evaluation of the important matters in
accordance with paragraph .07 of this standard, and
d. The nature, timing, and extent of resources necessary to perform the engagement.

Audit Plan
10        The auditor should develop and document an audit plan that includes a description of:
a. The planned nature, timing, and extent of the risk assessment procedures;
b. The planned nature, timing, and extent of tests of controls and substantive procedures; and
c. Other planned audit procedures required to be performed so that the engagement complies with
PCAOB standards.

Performing Risk Assessment Procedures

        The auditor should perform risk assessment procedures that are sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for
identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud,  and designing
further audit procedures.

       Risks of material misstatement can arise from a variety of sources, including external factors, such as
conditions in the company's industry and environment, and company-specific factors, such as the nature of the
company, its activities, and internal control over financial reporting. For example, external or company-specific
factors can affect the judgments involved in determining accounting estimates or create pressures to
manipulate the financial statements to achieve certain financial targets. Also, risks of material misstatement
may relate to, e.g., personnel who lack the necessary financial reporting competencies, information systems
that fail to accurately capture business transactions, or financial reporting processes that are not adequately
aligned with the requirements in the applicable financial reporting framework. Thus, the audit procedures that
are necessary to identify and appropriately assess the risks of material misstatement include consideration of
both external factors and company-specific factors. This standard discusses the following risk assessment
procedures:
a. Obtaining an understanding of the company and its environment (paragraphs .07-.17);
b. Obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting (paragraphs .18-.40);
c. Considering information from the client acceptance and retention evaluation, audit planning activities,
past audits, and other engagements performed for the company (paragraphs .41-.45);
d. Performing analytical procedures (paragraphs .46-.48);
e. Conducting a discussion among engagement team members regarding the risks of material
misstatement (paragraphs .49-.53); and
f. Inquiring of the audit committee, management, and others within the company about the risks of
material misstatement (paragraphs .54-.58).

Note: This standard describes an approach to identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement that
begins at the financial statement level and with the auditor's overall understanding of the company and its
environment and works down to the significant accounts and disclosures and their relevant assertions.

In an integrated audit, the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements are the same for
both the audit of internal control over financial reporting and the audit of financial statements. The auditor's risk

Page 13 of 58
assessment procedures should apply to both the audit of internal control over financial reporting and the audit
of financial statements.

III. TEST OF CONTROLS OVER SALE ADJUSTMENTS TRANSACTIONS


Cash Discounts – substantive test of account balances
Sales returns, allowances, corrections – emphasis is on testing the existence of recorded transactions as a means of uncovering
any diversion of cash from the collection that have been covered up by fictitious sales returns and allowances (existence);
understatement of these may lead to management reporting overstated net income (completeness)
Uncollectible Accounts – most important audit objective is existence because of the possibility that the management may use this
account to cover up misappropriations of company assets. The control to prevent this is to employ proper authorization when writing
off uncollectible accounts

MODULE 2
Title: Audit of Cash

Name of Student:
Course/ year:
Class Schedule:
Date Submitted:

Module Overview:
In Module 2, you will read about the Audit of Cash. The topic covers the auditing procedures for
cash and preparation of bank reconciliation and proof of cash. For thorough learning, there are focus
questions provided for the students. These questions are basically relative to the insights students
gotten from reading the content of the module and its corresponding textbook reference. For
Abstraction or Generalization of instructional content, a brief lecture notes on Audit of Cash is provided
here followed by a learning activity where students will construct in good form a set of financial
statements.

Learning Outcomes
After completing this module, students must have:
 Identify the categories of management assertions.
 Explain the substantive audit procedure for cash and cash equivalents.
 Identify what items are included as cash and cash equivalents
 Prepare bank reconciliation and proof of cash

LECTURE NOTES
Read this…

Introduction
Cash is one of the most important assets of a business. Almost all the entity ’s transactions
ultimately result in either receipt or payment of cash. Cash usually includes cash in bank, cash on hand
and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are both easily
convertible to known amount of cash. Examples of cash and cash equivalents include, but not limited to,
petty cash fund, payroll fund, money orders, cashier ’s checks, treasury bills and others.
Management Assertions
26 | P a g e
Management assertions are claims made by members of management regarding certain aspects
of a business. The concept is primarily used in regard to the audit of a company's financial statements,
where the auditors rely upon a variety of assertions regarding the business. The auditors test the validity
of these assertions by conducting a number of audit tests. Management assertions fall into the following
three classifications:

Transaction-level assertions. The following five items are classified as assertions related to transactions,
mostly in regard to the income statement:
 Accuracy. The assertion is that the full amounts of all transactions were recorded, without error.
 Classification. The assertion is that all transactions have been recorded within the correct
accounts in the general ledger.
 Completeness. The assertion is that all business events to which the company was subjected
were recorded.
 Cutoff. The assertion is that all transactions were recorded within the correct reporting period.
 Occurrence. The assertion is that recorded business transactions actually took place.

Account balance assertions. The following four items are classified as assertions related to the ending
balances in accounts, and so relate primarily to the balance sheet:
 Completeness. The assertion is that all reported asset, liability, and equity balances have been
fully reported.
 Existence. The assertion is that all account balances exist for assets, liabilities, and equity.
 Rights and obligations. The assertion is that the entity has the rights to the assets it owns and is
obligated under its reported liabilities.
 Valuation. The assertion is that all asset, liability, and equity balances have been recorded at
their proper valuations.

Presentation and disclosure assertions. The following five items are classified as assertions related to
the presentation of information within the financial statements, as well as the accompanying
disclosures:
 Accuracy. The assertion is that all information disclosed is in the correct amounts, and which
reflect their proper values.
 Completeness. The assertion is that all transactions that should be disclosed have been
disclosed.
 Occurrence. The assertion is that disclosed transactions have indeed occurred.
 Rights and obligations. The assertion is that disclosed rights and obligations actually relate to
the reporting entity.
 Understandability. The assertion is that the information included in the financial statements has
been appropriately presented and is clearly understandable.

There is a fair amount of duplication in the types of assertions across the three categories; however,
each assertion type is intended for a different aspect of the financial statements, with the first set
related to the income statement, the second set to the balance sheet, and the third set to the
accompanying disclosures.

If the auditor is unable to obtain a letter containing management assertions from the senior
management of a client, the auditor is unlikely to proceed with audit activities. One reason for not

27 | P a g e
proceeding with an audit is that the inability to obtain a management assertions letter could be an
indicator that management has engaged in fraud in producing the financial statements.

How to Audit
Cash?

In this module, we will take a look at the following:


 Primary cash assertions
 Cash walkthrough
 Directional risk for cash
 Primary risks for cash
 Common cash control deficiencies
 Risk of material misstatement for cash
 Substantive procedures for cash
 Common cash work papers

Primary Cash Assertions


The primary relevant cash assertions are:
 Existence
 Completeness
 Rights
 Accuracy
 Cutoff

Of these assertions, I believe existence, accuracy, and cutoff are most important. The audit client is
asserting that the cash balance exists, that it ’s accurate, and that only transactions within the period are
included. Classification is normally not a relevant assertion. Cash is almost always a current asset. But
when bank overdrafts occur, classification can be in play. The negative cash balance can be  presented as
cash or as a payable depending on the circumstances. 

Cash Walkthrough

28 | P a g e
As we perform walkthroughs of cash, we normally look for ways that cash might be overstated
(though it can also be understated as well). We are asking, “What can go wrong? ” whether intentionally
or by mistake.

In performing cash walkthroughs, ask questions such as:


 Are timely bank reconciliations performed by competent personnel?
 Are all bank accounts reconciled?
 Are the bank reconciliations reviewed by a second person?
 Are all bank accounts on the general ledger?
 Are transactions appropriately cut off at period-end (with no subsequent period transactions
appearing in the current year)?
 Is there appropriate segregation between persons handling cash, recording cash, making
payments, and  reconciling the bank statements
 What bank accounts were opened in the period?
 What bank accounts were closed in the period?
 Are there any restrictions on the bank accounts?
 What persons are on the bank signature cards?
 Who has the authority to open and/or close bank accounts?
 What is the nature of each bank account (e.g., payroll bank account)?
 Are there any cash equivalents (e.g., investments of less than three months)
 Were there any held checks (checks written but unreleased) at period-end?

As we ask questions, we also inspect documents (e.g., bank reconciliations) and make observations
(who is doing what?).
If controls weaknesses exist, we create audit procedures to address them. For example, if during the
walkthrough we review three monthly bank reconciliations and they all have obvious errors, we will
perform more substantive work to prove the year-end bank reconciliation. For example, we might
vouch every outstanding deposit and disbursement.

Directional Risk for Cash


What is directional risk? It’s the potential bias that a client has regarding an account balance. A
client might desire an overstatement of assets and an understatement of liabilities  since each makes the
balance sheet appear healthier. The directional risk for cash is overstatement. So, in performing your
audit procedures, perform procedures such as testing the bank reconciliation to ensure that cash is not
overstated.

Primary Risks for Cash


The primary risks are:
1. Cash is stolen
2. Cash is intentionally overstated to cover up theft
3. Not all cash accounts are on the general ledger
4. Cash is misstated due to errors in the bank reconciliation
5. Cash is misstated due to improper cutoff

Common Cash Control Deficiencies


In smaller entities, it is common to have the following control deficiencies:

29 | P a g e
 One person receipts and/or disburses monies, records those transactions in the general ledger,
and reconciles the related bank accounts
 The person performing the bank reconciliation does not possess the skill to perform the duty
 Bank reconciliations are not timely performed

Risk of Material Misstatement for Cash


In my smaller audit engagements, I usually assess control risk at high for each assertion. If
control risk is assessed at less than high, then controls must be tested to support the lower risk
assessment. Assessing risks at high is usually more efficient than testing controls.

When control risk is assessed at high, inherent risk becomes the driver of the risk of material
misstatement (control risk X inherent risk = risk of material misstatement). For example, if control risk is
high and inherent risk is moderate, then my RMM is moderate. 
The assertions that concern me the most are existence, accuracy, and cutoff. So my RMM for
these assertions is usually moderate to high. 
My response to higher risk assessments is to perform certain substantive procedures: namely,
bank confirmations and testing of the bank reconciliations. As RMM increases I examine more of the
period-end bank reconciliations and more of the outstanding reconciling items. Also, I am more inclined
confirm the balances.

Substantive Procedures for Cash

My customary audit tests are as follows:


1. Confirm cash balances
2. Vouch reconciling items to the subsequent month ’s bank statement
3. Ask if all bank accounts are included on the general ledger
4. Inspect final deposits and disbursements for proper cutoff

The auditor should send confirmations directly to the bank. Some individuals create false bank
statements to cover up theft. Those same persons provide false confirmation addresses. Then the
confirmation is sent to an individual (the fraudster) rather than a bank. Once received, the
fraudster replies to the confirmation as though the bank is doing so. You can lessen the chance of
fraudulent confirmations by using Confirmation.com, a company that specializes in bank confirmations.
Alternatively, you might Google the confirmation address to verify its existence.

Agree the confirmed bank balance to the period-end bank reconciliation (e.g., December 31, 20X7).
Then, agree the reconciling items on the bank reconciliation to the bank statement subsequent to the
period-end. For example, examine the January 20X8 bank statement activity when clearing the
December 20X7 reconciling items. Finally, agree the reconciled balance to the general ledger cash
balance for the period-end (e.g., December 31, 20X7).

Cut-off bank statements (e.g., January 20, 20X8 bank statement) may be used to test the
outstanding items. Such statements, similar to bank confirmations, are mailed directly to the auditor.
Alternatively, the auditor might examine the reconciling items by viewing online bank statements.
(Read-only rights can be given to the auditor.)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

DEFINITION OF CASH
Cash includes money and other negotiable instrument that is payable in money and acceptable
by the bank for deposit and immediate credit. It includes cash on hand, demand deposits and other
items that are unrestricted for use in the current operations.

1. Cash on Hand
 Customer’s checks awaiting deposit
 Undeposited cash collections (currencies such as bills and coins)
 Traveler’s check
 Cashier’s/Official/Treasurer’s/Manager’s Checks
 Postal Money Orders (a demand credit instrument issued and payable by a post office)
 Bank Drafts ( a written order addressed to the bank to pay an amount of money to the order of
the maker)

2. Cash in Bank

31 | P a g e
a. Demand deposit/commercial deposit/current account/checking account
- Generally non-interest bearing
- Withdrawable by checks against bank

b. Savings deposit (Saving Account)


- Generally non-interest bearing
- Depositor is issued an ATM card or passbook

Fund for Noncurrent Operations


Fund for Noncurrent Operations should not be included as part of cash but as part of non-current assets.
Examples are as follows:

Account Generally noncurrent investment but


Pension Fund If related liability is current, then pension fund is current, thus part of
CASH.
Preferred redemption fund Noncurrent investment (unless the preferred share capital has a
mandatory redemption and the redemption is already within one-year
from the reporting period in which case this fund is reported as part of
current investment)
Acquisition of Property, plant Always noncurrent even if expected to be disbursed next year
and equipment
Contingent fund Noncurrent investment
Insurance fund Noncurrent investment
Sinking Fund If the related bonds payable is current, then sinking fund is current, thus
part of cash

LECTURE NOTES

Audit Objectives
When auditing accounts receivable and sales, the principal objective for the substantive tests is to determine the
following:

Assertion Category Audit Objectives


Existence or Occurrence All receivables on the statement of financial position are authentic claims of the entity
and all sales have really occurred and pertain to the entity.
Completeness All authentic claims of the entity for amounts receivable are included on the statement of
financial position and all sales have been included in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Cut-off Sales have been recorded in the proper accounting period.
Valuation and Allocation Receivables are carried at their net realizable (collectable value) (i.e., the gross
receivables are properly stated with appropriate allowances provided for doubtful
accounts, discounts, returns, warranties and similar items).
Accuracy Sales have been accurately recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.
Rights and Obligations The entity owns, or has a legal right to all the receivables on the statement of financial
position at the reporting date.
Presentation and Disclosure Receivable and sales are properly classified, described and disclosed in the financial
&Classification statements, including notes, in accordance with PFRS.

Pledged, discounted, or assigned accounts receivable are properly disclosed. Related


party receivables and sales are properly disclosed.

Audit Procedures for Receivable and Sales


The auditor’s primary substantive procedure for receivable balance and sales transactions will typically include the
following:
1. Reconciliation of Subsidiary-ledger with General Ledger;
2. Confirming receivables and reviewing subsequent cash receipts;
3. Analyzing notes receivable and related interest;
4. Evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, including the appropriateness of the methodology
used to calculate the allowance;
5. Performing accounts receivable and sales cutoff;
6. Checking the appropriate valuation of accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies;
7. Investigating any transactions with or related party receivables;
8. Analyzing credit balances and unusual items;
9. Ascertaining whether any receivables have been pledged or assigned and
10. Performing analytical procedures.

Reconciliation of Subsidiary Ledger with General Ledger

First step in the audit of receivables is to obtain an aged trail balance of receivable. After obtaining an aged trial
balance, the auditor should test the clerical accuracy (e.g. footing, cross-footing) of the schedule and briefly inquire of
management as to steps taken to ensure the trial balance is complete, i.e., that all receivables due to the company are
included on the trial balance.

40 | P a g e
The auditor then would obtain and review the reconciliation prepared by the entity between the receivables
sub-ledger and the control account (i.e., general ledger), and investigate reconciling items, particularly any unusual non-
standard journal entries.

Confirmation of Receivables & Review of Subsequent Cash Receipt

The primary audit procedure to verify the existence and gross valuation of receivable is through confirmation.
Note that confirmation should only be performed once the auditor has already reconciled the subsidiary ledger with the
general ledger. Ordinarily, confirmation is used unless:

1. Receivables are immaterial;


2. Confirming would not provide useful information and
3. Control risk is so low that other procedures will reduce audit risk to an acceptable level.

Positive Confirmation vs Negative Confirmation

Definition:
Confirmation—the auditor’s receipt of a direct written or electronic response from a third party verifying the accuracy of
information requested.

Confirmation procedures can be used to confirm the balance of receivable, payable, contingent liabilities, bank account,
inventories and securities in custody, or to confirm the transaction of sales invoice, side agreement, and purchases.

Objective:
The purpose of accounts / transactions confirmation is to meet the Existence, Accuracy, and Cutoff objectives.

Form of Confirmation: Positive and Negative

Positive Confirmation

A positive confirmation = correct or incorrect, the recipient is requested to reply/ confirm with the stated amount/
information. Included as positive confirmation are:

 A blank confirmation.
 An invoice confirmation.
 Sales involve special terms or side-agreements confirmation.

Negative Confirmation

A negative confirmation = the recipient is requested to reply only when the recipient disagrees with the stated amount.

Difference:
1. Failure to reply:
o Positive Confirmation
Auditor should perform follow up procedures if the debtor does not reply. See the follow procedures below.
41 | P a g e
o
Negative Confirmation
Regarded as a correct response, even though the debtor may have ignored the confirmation request.

2. Cost of confirmation:
Negative Confirmation is less expensive than positive confirmation, because there will be no second
confirmation request and no follow-up procedures.

3. Criteria to Use:
For using Negative Confirmation, all of the following circumstances are present:

 The auditor has assessed the risk of material misstatement as low and has obtained sufficient evidence
regarding the design and operating effectiveness of controls.
 The population of items is made up of a large number of small, homogenous account balances, transactions, or
other items.
 The auditor expects a low exception rate.
 The auditor reasonably believes that recipients will give the requests adequate consideration. Adequate
consideration exist when there are high response rates on audits in previous year or of similar clients.

Typically, when negative confirmations are used, the auditor puts considerable emphasis on the effectiveness of internal
controls, substantive tests of transactions, and analytical procedures as evidence of the fairness of accounts receivable,
and assumes that the large majority of the recipients will provide a conscientious reading and response to the
confirmation request.

1. Common Practical Use


Negative Confirmation is common used practically for audits of hospitals, retail stores, banks, and other
industries in which the receivables are due from the general public.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES

Trade vs. Non-trade receivables

• Trade receivables are receivables arising from the sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of business.

• Receivables arising from other sources are non-trade receivables.

Financial statement presentation

• Trade receivables are classified as current assets when they are expected to be realized in cash within the
normal operating cycle or one year, whichever is longer.

42 | P a g e
• Non-trade receivables are classified as current assets only when they are expected to be realized in cash within
one year.

• Trade and non-trade receivables that are current assets are aggregated and presented in the statement of
financial position as “Trade and other receivables.”

returns and allowance against accounts payable with credit


balance

Initial Measurement

• Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price in
accordance with PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

43 | P a g e
• Transaction price is “the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties
(e.g., some sales taxes).” (PFRS 15)

• As a practical expedient under PFRS 15, an entity may not discount a trade receivable if it is due within 1 year.

Recognition

• Trade receivable is recognized when the entity has right to consideration that is unconditional. This is normally
the case when the control over the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer.

FOB Shipping point vs. FOB Destination

• Under FOB shipping point, ownership is transferred to the buyer upon shipment. Therefore, sales and accounts
receivable are recognized on shipment date.

• Under FOB destination, ownership is transferred only upon receipt of the goods by the buyer. Therefore, sales
and accounts receivable are recognized only when the buyer receives delivery of the goods.

Allowance method of accounting for bad debts

• Journal entries

• T-account of the “Allowance for doubtful accounts” account.

• T-account of the “Accounts receivable” account.

Estimating doubtful accounts

1. Percentage of net credit sales method

2.
Percentage of ending

NOTES RECEIVABLE

• Notes receivable is a claim supported by a formal promise to pay a certain sum of money at a specific future
date usually in the form of a promissory note.

Initial measurement

• Receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs.

47 | P a g e
Summary of Measurements

The fair value of the receivable at initial recognition may be measured in relation to the cash price equivalent of the
noncash asset given up in exchange for the receivable. In such case, the subsequent measurement of the receivable is at
amortized cost.

Time Value of Money

• FV of ₱1 vs. PV of ₱1

- The FV of ₱1 and PV of ₱1 are opposites.

- The FV of ₱1 answers the question “If I invest ₱100,000 today at 10% interest, how much money do I have in
three-year’ time?”

- FV of ₱1 = (1 + i)n = (1 + 10%)3 = 1.331

- Answer: (₱100,000 x 1.331 ) = ₱133,100

or (₱100,000 x 110% x 110% x 110%) = ₱133,100

- The PV of ₱1 answers the question “If I want to have ₱133,100 in three-years’ time, how much money do I have
to invest today (at 10% interest)?

- PV of ₱1 = (1 + i)-n = (1 + 10%)-3 = 0.751315

- Answer: (₱133,100 x 0.751315 ) = ₱100,000

48 | P a g e
49 | P a g e
Loans receivable

• Receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs.

50 | P a g e
 Direct origination costs are added to the carrying amount of a loan receivable. Indirect origination costs are
expensed when incurred.

 Origination fees are deducted from the carrying amount of a loan receivable.

Impairment

The expected credit loss model (ECL)

Definition of terms

• Loss allowance – is the allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are within the scope of the
impairment requirements of PFRS 9.

51 | P a g e
• Expected credit losses – is the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring
as the weights.

• Credit loss – is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the
original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-
impaired financial assets).

• 12-month expected credit losses – The portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represent the expected
credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months
after the reporting date.

• Credit risk – The risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by
failing to discharge an obligation.

• Lifetime expected credit losses – The expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the
expected life of a financial instrument.

Simplified approach

• An entity shall always measure the loss allowance at amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for its trade
receivables or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component.

• Examples: Provision matrix and Single loss rate

Derecognition of receivables

• Financial assets are derecognized when:

a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or

b) the financial assets are transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.

• Derecognition (of a financial instrument) means the removal of a previously recognized financial asset or
financial liability from an entity’s statement of financial position.

Evaluation of transfers of receivables

• If control over the receivable is:

a) Substantially transferred, the receivable is derecognized.

b) Substantially retained, the receivable is not derecognized but continued to be recognized. Any cash
received from the transfer is recognized as liability.

c) Partially transferred and partially retained, the portion transferred is derecognized while the portion
retained is continued to be recognized.

Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

• A financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
financial position only when both of the following conditions are met:

52 | P a g e
a. The entity currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and

b. The entity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

Receivable financing

1. Pledge (hypothecation)

2. Assignment

a. Notification basis

b. Non-notification basis

3. Factoring

4. Discounting of notes receivable

a. NP = MV – D

b. MV = P + i

c. D = MV x Dr x Dp

d. Dr = Discount rate

e. Dp = Discount period (the unexpired term of the note)

f. Interest income = interest accrued on the expired term of the note

with related expenses.

3. The use of the direct write-off method is acceptable under generally accepted accounting principles.

4. Doubtful accounts expense is normally reported as a deduction from sales in the income statement.

5. The entry to write off an uncollectible account under the allowance method is a debit to Doubtful Accounts
Expense and a credit to Accounts Receivable.

6. The method of estimating uncollectible accounts expense based on the accounts receivable balance emphasizes
the determination of the net realizable value of the receivables.

7. When estimating collectability based on an analysis of the accounts receivable balance, any existing balance in
the allowance for doubtful accounts is ignored.

8. The aging method of estimating doubtful accounts is a variation of the percentage of ending receivables method.
