Document Title: GA-4
● Net Sales decreased by 4.8%, but Gross Profit decreased only by 0.117%
● Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses decreased, however this appears to be due
to the reduced amount of Research and Development that took place during 2014 in response
to poor economic conditions.
● Interest Expense increased by 196.20%, which is likely due to the $43.862.755,92 increase
in debt from the previous year.
● Net Accounts Receivable increased by 213.91% from 2013 to 2014. This is concerning.
especially when taking into consideration thet net sales decreased by 4.21% and that the
allowance for doubtful accounts decreased by 1.89%.
● Inventory increased by 259,75% from 2013 to 2014. This is Concerning, especially when
considering the company’s admission in the June 30, 2014 Board of Directors meeting that
sales were not meeting expectations.
● Prepaid insurance increased 360.67% and could be misstated if Apollo Shoes did not make
the necessary amortization journal entry.
Throughout the analytic review, it was apparent that Apollo Shoes has several accounts with
either concerning or suspicious activity. Further investigation may either prove their
legitimacy of these accounts or lead to the determination that fraudulent accounting is
occurring.

Document Title: GA-5
After having analyzed the data found in the financial statement of Apollo Shoes Inc., I found
a number of areas that may contain possible material misstatement.
This memo is meant to address the possibilities of fraud within Apollo Shoes Inc. After
careful review of the Board of Directors meeting minutes and the analytic procedures that
have been performed so far, there are a number of things that may be considered “red flags”
for the company. The generally accepted auditing standard, SAS 99 "Consideration of Fraud
in a Financial Statement Audit," discusses the relevancy of finding and correcting possibly
fraudulent statements and the need to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatements.
The following red flags in regards to the Apollo engagement have been identified:
In the October 17, 2014 Audit Committee meeting minutes, Eric Unum, Apollo's VP
of Finance, stated that the company's former auditor, Smith & Smith, CPAs,
unexpectedly withdrew from the engagement due to "mutually incongruent goals."
Mr. Unum declined any further discussion of the matter due to possible litigation. The
fact that the previous auditors withdrew combined with the Apollo's request that the
prior auditors not be contacted is highly suspicious.
One potential issue is that Larry Lancaster is Chairman of the Board, and is also
Apollo's President & CEO, causing a potential conflict of interest. The fact that Mr.
Unum is both a member of the board and Apollo's VP of Finance further complicates
this conflict of interest.
In both the January 6, 2014 and the June 30, 2014 Board of Director meeting minutes,
Mr. Lancaster, responds with "or heads will roll!". This suggests that Mr. Lancaster
may have an aggressive management style that may encourage or force employees to
take inappropriate risks or make poor business decisions in an attempt to meet
company goals.
In the June 30, 2014 Board of Director meeting minutes, the board members
unanimously approved a $1,250,000 personal loan that was supposed to be for Mr.
Lancaster's secretary. This loan was approved on the contingency that personal loan
options be made available to all members of the board if requested. There are multiple
issues going on here. First, Mr. Lancaster requested that the check for the loan be
made out him personally and that he would supposedly cash it and give it to his
secretary. It seems unlikely that a check for such a large amount would need to be
cash and even more unreasonable that the check wouldn't be made out to the secretary
directly. Secondly, Mr. Unum suggests that the loan be coded as an "Other
Receivable" rather than "Employee Advance" as would be appropriate. Lastly, the
board members are treating this situation and the company as if it is a personal bank
rather than a legitimate company in the business of making a profit. This suggests a
complete disregard for the company's shareholders.
In the June 30, 2014 Board of Director meeting minutes, Mr. Unum requests that the
Board approve a $44,403,000 draw from the company's line of credit. Other than for
the purchase of the new software system costing $1.2 million, there is no specific
mentioning as to why the large draw is needed. They only state that the funds are
needed to pay for the computer system and "other expenses." This is highly
concerning, especially since the 2013 draw of $10,000,000 was not paid off but
merely rolled into a short-term $12,000,000 loan through a local bank, per the January
6, 2014 minutes.
It is also concerning that the board approves executive 10% raises, executive bonuses,
and $90,000 stipends per board member even though the company's sales dropped by
4.21% and the current economy suggests the likelihood of continuing decreased sales.
Apollo's audit risk appears to be high due to some of the suspicious activities occurring
within the company and the seemingly high potential for fraud. It is difficult to tell at this
point how pervasive the potential fraud might be, but if it is occurring, top management
would be most likely to be involved. If collusion is taking place within the company, it would
be even more difficult to detect the possible fraud that may be occurring.
In order to ensure our best chances of being able to detect any existing fraudulent schemes,
we should insure that the client does not know which areas will be audited at which times or
how, and the personnel used to assist with document review should be limited in order to
prevent internal employees who are engaging in fraudulent behavior from being able to alter
existing documentation or the audit "findings."
Document Title: GA Series
After having reviewed the documentation that was provided by Karina Ramirez in relation to
Apollo’s decision to implement a computer processing system for the accounting of
transactions, the following is of concern:
Since the conversion took place mid-year, it may make the collection of data more
difficult unless the company was effectively able to enter the full year’s worth of
transactions and detail into the new accounting software. If not, the audit process will
be made more difficult by having a portion of the accounting transactions and
associated documentation existing in a manual form and the other half existing in a
computerized form.
Since this is the company’s first year using the new accounting software, due
diligence must be used in order to ensure that the software is working as expected and
that staff members understand how to appropriately use the system.
Our own firm can benefit from the use for computers and software in several ways, even
though we do not have any audit-specific programs at this time.
Word Processing
Most of the documents that will need to be created by us throughout an audit, such as the
engagement letter, audit memos, the audit report, and a variety of other documents can be
created with the use of a word processing software. We could use a word processing software
to create various official documents that could be saved to client files on a server. This
process would all us to go back and review documents specific to a given client much
quicker, and possibly from a remote location, without having to pull a physical file.
Electronic Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets can also be of great use internally for purposes such as putting together a
budgets, which would them be compared with actual activity data for analysis.
Computer Auditing
A computer audit specialist could use a one of the laptops as a terminal to perform data base
inquiries and enter test data. We would need to coordinate such applications with the Apollo
personnel, as we would be entering their system through a communications software. This
would allow us the ability to remotely review some of the client’s data without having to be
onsite.
Statistical Software
We could also greatly benefit from purchasing some statistical software that could be used to
generate random numbers and make statistical calculations. Some packages can perform
regressions as well as calculate variances and standard deviations. Software can also be used
to quickly test for a number of issues, such as missing or duplicate numbers (purchase orders,
invoices, bills of lading, checks, etc) and to look for certain dollar amounts, such as those that
fall just below a given threshold. Having a good audit software package could not only
improve the effectiveness of our audit review, but would also help us to save time by
allowing the computer to do some of the work for us.
