5. PURPOSE OF THE SALES AND RECEIVABLES BUSINESS


PROCESS

Revenue is generated through the sale of goods or the delivery of services. In


exchange for the sale of goods and the delivery of services, cash is received from
customers. This is the main purpose of a profit-driven entity as this is a top-line
item in the financial statements and an indicator of growth in an entity. The
course notes will focus on the accounting function of the business process.
The primary purpose of this cycle is to ensure:

lOMoARcPSD|8456182

1. That revenue generates from sale of goods or rendering of services is


recorded correctly;
2. Cash generated from the revenue activities is collected and recorded and
3. That all related activities are accounted for correctly.

ACTION POINT

Please refer to Section 6.3.6 (Auditing fundamentals in a South


African context (Prinsloo et al, 2015) for an overview of the
sales and receivable cycle.

6. UNDERSTANDING THE CYCLE

ISA 315 deals with the auditor’s responsibility for gaining an understanding of
the entity, its environment and internal controls in order to identify and assess
the risk of misstatement in the financial statements (ISA 315, para 1-3). The
standard specifies the different ‘elements’ or aspects of the entity on which the
auditor should focus. Following on from this base, we will form an understanding
of the cycle based on analysing the elements below:

1) The nature of the cycle


2) Forms of transactions
3) How transactions in the cycle are initiated
4) Accounts affected by the cycle
5) Accounting treatment in the cycle
6) Relevant Companies Act and accounting sections and standards
7) IT and Information systems used in the cycle
8) Risks in the cycle
9) Control objectives in the cycle

6.2: FORMS OF TRANSACTIONS

IFRS 15 distinguishes between revenue from the satisfaction of a performance obligation


at a point in time and from satisfaction of a performance obligation over time.

. ACTION POINT

Refer to IFRS 15 and your second year accounting course notes.

 What is the definition of ‘revenue’ per IFRS 15?

 How do you distinguish between performance obligations


satisfied over time and those at a point in time?

 What types of transactions are specifically excluded from IFRS


15?

6.3: HOW TRANSACTIONS ARE INITIATED

The revenue cycle starts with an order that has been received from a customer.
The Receivables cycle starts once the revenue has been accounted for but the
cash consideration has not yet been received. The revenue cycle ends as the
receivable cycle begins. Please see Ch6, S6.1.4 for more details on how the
transactions are initiated and completed.

6.4: ACCOUNTS AFFECTED BY THE CYCLE

The transaction process will vary from client to client depending on the
complexity of the business process and the accounting software used. Prinsloo et
al, Section 6.3 provides an overview of a typical accounting system and a
diagrammatic representation of the accounting process.

ACTION POINT

Refer to the illustration of the transaction flows in Prinsloo et al


(2015), Section 6.3. What are the essential/key processes?

6.5: ACCOUNTING TREATMENT IN THE CYCLE

Accounting Requirements
IFRS 15 – Scope  Not all transactions are in the
scope of IFRS 15. These need
to be dealt with in
accordance with the relevant
IFRSs.
 IFRS 15 is only applicable to
transactions with customers
(IFRS 15, para 7)
IFRS 15 – Identification of performance  For each contract with a customer,
obligations performance obligations should be
identified.

 This requires the provision of


distinct goods and services to the
customer (see IFRS 15, para 26-28)
IFRS 15 – Satisfaction of the  Performance obligations are either
performance obligation satisfied at a point in time or over
time (see IFRS 15, para 15).
 The determination of the timing of
the satisfaction of performance
obligations is important because
this will affect the amount and
timing of revenue recognition.

IFRS 15 – Measurement  Determination of the transaction


price of the goods/services provided

 Different methods for allocation


transaction prices to performance

. ACTION POINT

Refer to Prinsloo et al (2015), Chapter 14, Section14.4.

The textbook refers to specific tests which an auditor might perform


using CAAT’s. Discuss how these could be modified to test controls
over the sales and receivable processes. Refer to Section 6.9 below
for control objectives.

6.8. RISKS IN THE CYCLE

The risk in the cycle is heavily dependent on the nature and type of revenue that is held
or produced by an entity. The main risks are indicated below but this is not a complete
list. Through the completion of tutorials and other questions, this list can be expanded.
Please see ch 6.4

Inaccurate
Risks Risks Inventory
Overstatemnet allocations
Risk of fraud Theft of goods inventory

6.9. CONTROL OBJECTIVES

A modern business cannot function without any information technology as information


technology has become more than just a mechanism for processing information. IT is
now regarded as a strategic resource. As the use of IT can open up an entity to the
following financial risks:

1. Transactions recorded are not valid transactions (Validity)

lOMoARcPSD|8456182

2. Transactions recorded are not complete (Completeness)


3. Transactions have not been recorded accurately (Accuracy)

To address the above mentioned risk, management has to implement application control.
Refer to Chapter 5, section 5.9 for more information on the application controls.

The figure below indicates the control objectives of the cycle. Please see Chapter 6,
section 6.6 for more information on the control objectives.

7: FUNCTIONAL AREAS LINKED TO CONTROLS AND


CONSIDERATIONS

As with any other business process, there are generic controls that are applicable
to the cycle. These controls can be found in any other cycle. Students have to
ensure that they understand the controls as they will have to demonstrate their
understanding of these in assessments.

The internal controls are set out in figure 3 below and are applicable across the
entire business process, i.e. in each functional area of the process. Please see
the relevant sections as indicated in the section below

You are a second year trainee accountant at MGPK and are currently
assigned to the audit of Free-Bee TV Limited (Free TV). Your firm has been
auditing this client for the past three years since Free TV’s incorporation.
Free TV is a subscription-based television channel distributor, providing
programming content in South Africa and the rest of Africa. Free TV was
set up as a competitor to DSTV.

The company’s year- end is 31 May.

Audit materiality has been set at R650 000. You noted from last year’s
audit file that the controls at the client were assessed as reliable in the
past.

You are currently auditing the revenue section and have identified the
following significant income streams:

 Sales of decoders to retailers. Decoders are sold to retailers in bulk and


these are then sold on to Free TV subscribers at R950 each.
Subscribers require a satellite dish to receive the Free TV signal. These
can be purchased and installed for a further R1000. It is possible to
purchase only one component, e.g. apartment blocks can purchase a
single satellite dish. As a result residents only have to purchase the
decoder.
 Subscription revenue is received from each subscriber who pays a
monthly subscription fee of R389 to view the programs on the TV
channels subscribed to. The subscription is received in advance.
 Free TV also has the option for subscribers who do not want to buy
their own decoder, to rent a decoder from Free TV over a five-year
contract period. The rental is R459 per month (this includes the
monthly rental of the decoder and the monthly subscription of R389).
At the end of the five–year contract, ownership of the decoder vests in
the subscriber.
You noted that in respect of the rental customers, Free TV raises an asset
for the decoders rented and impairs the cost of the decoders over the five-
year contract. If a decoder is not functional, Free TV will replace it at no
additional cost to the subscriber. If the decoder is stolen, however, the
loss is covered by insurance, for which a monthly premium of R25 is
included in the monthly rental of the decoder. Free TV replaces the
decoder and claims the loss from the insurance company.

Free TV has been growing rapidly and the number of subscribers has
increased from 890 000 last year to over 1 million in the current year.
Revenues from all income streams for the current financial year are
expected to exceed R4.8 billion.

lOMoARcPSD|8456182

SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE

On reading the system notes in the previous year‘s audit file you noted
the following:

 A new subscriber can apply for a Free TV subscription:


 Online via the Internet at Free TV’s website by completing the
online registration form.
 Telephonically – an assistant at the call centre will complete
the details and register a subscription.
 By sending a fax – with all the required details.
 For each of the above, the subscriber’s name, address, (physical and
postal), contact telephone numbers, ID number and bank account
details are required. All this information is used in drawing up a
contract with the subscriber and a new subscriber file is opened on the
subscriber master file.
 An ITC credit check is performed on each potential subscriber. The
results of these checks are loaded against the subscriber file in the
master file.
 A standard contract is printed from the computer system and a
sequential Contract number is generated and the decoder serial
number is recorded. The contract is posted to the client for signature.
Once signed and returned the contracts manager, Mr Nadia, updates
the subscriber master file and activates the decoder electronically.
 Each subscriber has to pay a monthly subscription of R389 in order to
view all TV programmes. As new contracts may be taken out at any
time, the first payment could be made at any time in the month and
the subscription amount is pro- rated for the number of days
subscribed for in that month. Thereafter, subscriptions are run on the
1st business day of each month by debit order against the subscriber’s
bank account.
 The subscriber master file contains the decoder serial number so that
each subscriber and decoder can be identified.
 The computer system has been effective for the past three years, and
Mr Nadia monitors the effectiveness of the controls on an ongoing
basis. He is responsible for comparing the numerous reports generated
and for following up on any exceptions noted from these. Procedures
include the following:
 Ensuring that all contracts generated by the system from the
various methods of application have been signed and
returned.
 Cancellation of contracts not signed and returned within 30
days. The subscriber must then apply again.

lOMoARcPSD|8456182

 Comparison of the subscriber master file to the sequenced


contract numbers issued to ensure there are no missing or
duplicate contract numbers.
 Inspection of reports of the number of decoders on rental
contracts which are replaced each month.

SUBSCRIPTION AND RENTAL RECEIPTS


 Payments for subscriptions and rentals are received via bank debit
orders. On registration of a contract, each subscriber signs a bank debit
order. Mr Nadia captures these details into the subscriber database.
 A tape of all the debit orders is sent monthly to Free TV’s bankers to
process the subscriptions.
 The computer system activates a signal to the decoders of account
holders that have paid so that TV programmes may be viewed.
 If a subscriber has not paid his / her decoder signal is de-activated on
the system. The subscriber service department may be contacted and,
once payment has been made, the viewer is connected again.
 Mr Nadia inspects exception reports of subscribers who have defaulted
on payment. This usually happens if a bank account is closed.
 Only Mr Nadia can capture any changes to bank details of subscribers.
Subscribers who subscribe on-line may not change this type of
information themselves.
 If a decoder is stolen, the serial number on the decoder is used to
deactivate the signal, so that the person who stole the decoder will not
be able to use it.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS

As per discussions with Mr Tobie, the IT manager, the computer systems


that are currently being used have been working well for the past three
years.

As the IT manager, he is responsible for any software program changes


that may be required by users. These changes are mostly very small as
the software used is an off the shelf package suited to their type of
business. The changes relate primarily to items such as the format of
reports. All program changes are documented.

Mr Tobie monitors that users change passwords regularly and that each
user only has access to the relevant module of the software pertaining to
his work. Entry to the office area is controlled via magnetic swipe cards.
He has additional responsibility for back-ups, and business continuity
plans, as ensuring a stable service to viewers is crucial to Free TV’s
