1.(a)
opportunity cost. i.e. cost of next best alternative forgone.
Examples:
(i) The opportunity cost of buying a car, is what else that money could have bought.
(ii) The opportunity cost of deciding not to work, is the forgone wages that could have
been earned.
Households:
Households are the collective group of individuals not only consuming goods and
services, but also providing labor for firms. The opportunity cost for households is the
satisfaction foregone by consuming Good A rather than spending the money on Good
“B”.

economy. The Opportunity cost of firms is the revenue foregone by using productive
resources to supply Good “A” rather than using them to supply Good “B”.

Ans. Indifference Curve: Accountants
It is a curve that shows the different combinations of two goods which give the same
06
3.(a)
level of satisfaction.
Reason of Convexity of IC
In this instance, convexity means being bowed to the origin. The shape of the curve
has to do with how much of one good does a consumer want to exchange for another
in order to maintain the same level of utility. Suppose a consumer has a high level of
Good A, and a low level of Good B. In order to reduce his consumption of Good B,
and maintain the same utility, he would need to consume even more units of Good A.
This is why Indifference Curves are convex to the origin.
Due to increase in income from Rs.100 to Rs.200, the Budget line will be shifted
outward.

According to the timing of cash flows a project that recovers major portion of its investment in
initial periods is better than a project that recovers them in the later phase of the project’s life. This
is because as further as we move into the future the more the outcomes become unpredictable.
Therefore according to this analysis project A is better than project B.
However as the other methods suggest project B is more attractive then project A.

Note 1: Lunch 01
This past cost is a ‘sunk cost’ and should therefore be excluded from the cost statement. It has
already arisen and is therefore not incremental.
Note 2: Engineers’ Costs 03
Since one of the engineers has spare capacity, the relevant cost of his hours is Nil. This is because
relevant costs must arise as a future consequence of the decision, and since his wage will be paid
regardless of whether he now works on the contract for Plus Co, it is not an incremental cost.

The situation for the other two engineers is slightly different. Their time is currently fully utilized
and earning a contribution of Rs.6 per hour each. This is after deducting their hourly cost which,
given a salary of Rs.5,000 per month each, is Rs.31.25 per hour (Rs.5,000/ (4 x 40)). However, in
one week’s time – when they would otherwise be idle – they can complete Contract X and earn the
contribution anyway. Therefore, the only relevant cost is the penalty of Rs.600 that will be payable
for the delay on Contract X.
Note 3: Technical Advisor 02
Since the advisor would have to work overtime on this contract, the relevant cost is the overtime
rate of Rs.67.50 (Rs.45 x 1·5) per hour. This would total Rs.540 for the whole job.
Note 4: Site Visits 02
This is a cost paid directly by Plus Co to a third party. Since it is not a relevant cost for Telecom Co.
it has been excluded.
Note 6: Handsets 03
Although Telecom Co has 80 of the 120 handsets required already in inventory, they are clearly in
regular use in the business. Therefore, if the 80 are used on this contract, they will simply need to be
replaced again. Consequently, the relevant cost for both the 40 that need to be bought and the 80
already in inventory is the current purchase price of Rs.18·00 each. 120 x Rs.18·00 = Rs. 2,160.
Note 7: Control System 03
The historic cost of Swipe 1, Rs.5500, is a ‘sunk’ cost and not relevant to this decision. However,
since the company could sell it for Rs.3200 if it did not use it for this contract, the Rs.3200 is an
opportunity cost here. The current market price for Swipe 1 of Rs.5400 is totally irrelevant to the
decision as Telecom Co has no intention of replacing Swipe 1, since it was bought in error. In
addition to the Rs.3200, there is a modification cost of Rs.4500, bringing the total cost of converting
Swipe 1 to Rs.7,700. This is still a cheaper option than buying Swipe 2 for Rs.11000 therefore the
company would choose to do the modification to Swipe 1. The cost of Rs.11000 of a new Swipe 2
system is therefore irrelevant now.
Note 8: 03
The cable is in regular use by Telecom Co, therefore all 1000meters should be valued at current
market price of Rs. 1.35 per meter. The Rs.1.25 meter is sunk cost and not relevant.

Overall 1.5
Both companies and both divisions within S co are clearly profitable In terms of what the
different ratios tell us, Overall if results of both Operating profit ratio and assets turnover ratio
are considered The design division of S Co. comes out top overall WS X,
ROCE 1.5
ROCE tells us the return which a company is making from its capital. The design division of S
Co is making the highest return at 25% more than twice that of the Gearbox division and
nearly three times that of Z Co. This is because that nature of a design business is such that
Profits are largely derived from the people making the designs rather than from the assets
Certain assets will obviously be necessary in order to produce the designs but it is the
employees who are mostly responsible for generating profit ROCE of Gearbox division and
Design division are fairly similar if both the division are compared in isolation. The Gearbox
division ROCE is 3% higher than Z Co because Z Cos has larger assets base than the Gearbox
division.
Assets Turnover ratio, 1.5
It can be seen that the Gearbox divisions assets generate a very high proportion of sales per Rs.
of assets (79%) compared to Z Co 19%. This is partly because the Gearbox division buys its
components in from Z Co. and therefore not need to have the large asset which Z Co. need to
make components. Pakistan Institute of

per part, 1 each for rationale and conclusion. 1 mark may be awarded
1. where rationale appears to be appropriate but conclusion is incorrect.
a. Since inventories physically verified differ from the balance shown in the books and 02
the difference is material, it can be concluded that the financial statements are
materially misstated. However the effect does not seem to be pervasive as the
misstatement is limited to only inventories and most of the other assets (i.e. fixed
assets which are 60% of total assets) are unaffected by this misstatement. In this
situation therefore, a qualified opinion should be given.
b. The item in question is material since it constitutes 10% of the company’s profits for 02
the year. Since it has been established that the prevailing law has been breached i.e.
the required maximum level of chemical release of 1 ton has been exceeded
significantly and the company has released 2.4 tons, it is clear that the company is
likely to be held responsible for the breach of law. Since a notice has not been
formally received, a liability does not accrue but a provision has to be recorded.
Management’s refusal to record the provision means the financial statements are
misstated by a material amount. In these circumstances, a qualified opinion should be
expressed in the audit report.
c. In this case since the beverage manufacturing company was formed only a year ago, it 02
is likely that the plant and machinery would be new. If there appear to be no factors
that indicate there is impairment, the matter does not warrant any modification to the
audit report. Therefore an unmodified report should be issued.
d. The refusal from management to send out letters of balance confirmation result in the 02
auditor being unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. As per the
scenario the trade receivables are the most significant item in the balance sheet; this
implies the potential effect of the inability to obtain evidence is material. In such a
situation, a qualified opinion should be given in the audit report.
e. IAS 16 allows both forms of depreciation to be used; the purpose is to allocate the cost 02
of asset over its useful life on a systematic basis and in line with the pattern of flow of
economic benefits to the entity. In this case there appears to be no material non-
compliance with IAS-16. An unmodified report should be issued.

2.(a) for an example.
Reasonable Assurance – a high, but not absolute, level of assurance.
Negative Assurance – assurance given in the form that nothing has come to the
attention of auditor that these financial statements do not give true and fair view.
An example of a reasonable assurance engagement can be an audit of financial
statements wherein the auditor expresses an opinion on whether the financial
statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s operations.

An example of a negative assurance engagement can be a review of interim
financial information wherein the reviewer opines that nothing has come to his
attention that causes him to believe that the interim financial information does
not give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s operations.

Ans. 2 marks for explaining why not conducting stock count is important and what 05
8.(a) assertions are not checked/tested, 1 mark for calculating the materiality, 1 mark
for alternative procedures, 1 mark for the impact on audit report
This is an auditing issue; stock take activity did not take place at year end because the
Company has not made necessary procedures for performing stock count.
This means that existence and completeness assertion of the stock could not be
verified.
Closing stock balance also has a direct impact of the calculation of cost of sales and
profit before tax.
Materiality: If we use profit before tax (PBT) as a base for planning materiality (PM)
and sets the PM at 10% of PBT of Rs. 500 million, then PM amounts to Rs. 50
million. Stock amounts to Rs. 300 million which is both material and may be
pervasing to the financial statements.
Alternative procedure: Auditor should ask the management to consider performing
stock count subsequent to the year-end i.e. 31 December 2015.
Then auditor can work back from the date of stock count to arrive at the position of
stock at 31 December 215.
Impact on Audit Report: If management does not agree to above, the auditor will
modify the audit report by giving disclaimer of opinion as the impact of stock on
financial statement is both material and pervasive.
(b) 2 marks for explaining why preparing the going concern assumption is not valid 05
and its impact on financial statements, 1 mark for alternative procedures, 1 mark
for the impact on audit report.
In this case, the going concern assumption of the Company is in question.
Financial statements of the client are prepared using going concern assumption. i.e. It
is an accounting issue as the basis of preparation of the financial statement is not
correct.
Going Concern assumption is that the Company will be able to continue operating for
a period of time that is sufficient to carry out its commitments, obligations, objectives,

Since, theFinance
operating license ofAccountants
the Company is canceled by Court Orders, Company
cannot operate in the pharmaceutical market. So the preparation of financial
statements on going concern is not correct.
Impact on Audit Report: If the financial statements have been prepared using the
going concern basis of accounting but, in the auditor’s judgment, management’s use
of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements
is inappropriate, the auditor shall express an adverse or qualified opinion depending
on whether the impact is material or material and pervasive as well. In the instant case,
the matter appears to be more than material as there is a disclosure fundamental to
users’ understanding of the financial statements which is missing. An adverse opinion
would therefore be appropriate.
Total Marks 10
Ans. Up to 2 marks for the definition of subsequent event 02
9.(a)
Events occurring between the date of the financial statements and the date of the
auditor's report, and facts that become known to the auditor after the date of the
auditor's report
(b) Up to 6 marks for explaining the course of action to take including assessment of 12
risk of other undisclosed litigation, Up to 3 marks each for explaining the course
of action If management amends / does not amend the financial statements
The partner/audit team has no obligation to perform any audit procedures regarding
the financial statements of light and life Limited Company after the date of the
auditor's report.
In this case, the auditor was unaware of the pending legal case at the time of signing
of Auditor’s Report. However, the partner of the firm became aware of the litigation
before financial statements are authorized for issue and became public information.
However, as per ISA 560, if after the date of the auditor's report but before the date
the financial statements are issued, a fact becomes known to the auditor that, had it
been known to the auditor at the date of the auditor's report, may have caused the
auditor to amend the auditor's report, the auditor shall:
1. Discuss the matter with management and, where appropriate, those
charged with governance.
2. Determine whether the financial statements need amendment and, if so,
Pakistan Institute of
Public Finance Accountants
Solution Audit, Assurance & Ethics

Public Finance Accountants
3. Inquire how management intends to address the matter in the financial
statements.
Another important matter to consider here is that the management did not disclose this
litigation to the audit team. It needs to be assessed whether this omission was
deliberate on the part of management or just an oversight. This is because if factors
indicate a deliberate omission, it could be a serious issue and as an auditor we would
need to ascertain whether there are any other similar matters that may not have been
previously disclosed to us.
Addressing the aforementioned risk could include steps such as requesting
management to have the auditor perform extensive procedures on litigation and legal
fees, review of publicly available information through external media sources to
identify such cases etc.
Course Of Action If Management Amends The Financial Statements
If management amends the financial statements, the auditor shall:
(a) Carry out the audit procedures necessary in the circumstances on the
amendment.
(b) Extend the audit procedures to the date of the new auditor's report; and
(c) Provide a new auditor's report on the amended financial statements. The
new auditor's report shall not be dated earlier than the date of approval
of the amended financial statements.
Course Of Action If Management Does not Amend The Financial Statements
In this case the auditor's report has already been provided to the entity, if management
does not amend the financial statements in circumstances where the auditor believes
they need to be amended then
(a) The auditor shall notify management and, unless all of those charged
with governance are involved in managing the entity, those charged
with governance, not to issue the financial statements to third parties
before the necessary amendments have been made.
(b) If the financial statements are nevertheless subsequently issued without
the necessary amendments, the auditor shall take appropriate action, to
seek to prevent reliance on the auditor's report.
