The following are the supplementary information on the aforementioned Financial Statements for the year
ending December 31, 2009 and our comments on the principal auditing procedures we performed.
CONTROL TESTING
We took to perform statistical sampling for attribute sampling to test the Company's internal control. Where the
results of controls testing indicated that internal control of the Company is strong, we reduced our substantive
testing levels.
We have calculated the deviation rates on the chosen sample size of the major controls of the Company and
have determined that these deviations are only result of errors , therefore unintentional. Likewise, the upper
occurrence limit is less than the set tolerable rate.The sample size and selection were statistically generated
using a desired confidence level of 90 percent, expected error rate of 5 percent, and a desired precision of 5
percent. Statistical sampling was used to infer the conclusions of test work performed on a sample to the
population from which it was drawn and to obtain estimates of sampling error involved. When appropriate,
judgmental sampling was used to improve the overall efficiency of the audit
To achieve the audit’s objectives, reliance was placed on the controls of the Company. Internal controls were
deemed to be reliable.
SUBSTANTIVE TESTING
The nature, extent and timing of substantive tests performed considered both the assessment of the
Company's internal control and our professional judgment.
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ACCOUNTS
This account consists of liquid assets which is composed of cash, accounts receivables, inventories
and other current assets.
Cash – P920,238.68
This account is represented by the amount of cash in bank and cash on hand in the form of currency
notes and coins in the custody of the cashier, as follows:
We have reviewed the financial statements to verify proper classification of cash and determined that
it is in conformity with PFRS. Cash on hand includes petty cash fund where we reconcile the fund with the
vouchers and found no discrepancy.
We have reviewed the Corporation’s Bank Reconciliation statements and compared the amounts
with the general ledger and bank statement balance and found no discrepancies.
We accounted for some sequence of cancelled checks that made out to “CASH” or “BEARER” and
found no irregularities on these checks.
We have determined that there was an appropriate classification of account balances and we traced
the amount of the trial balance to general ledger control and subsidiary ledger totals and there was a
mathematical accuracy on the balance.
To test for valuation, We accounted that the accounts are in small amounts and not old and we
therefore conform account balances by using negative confirmation requests. We have examined collections
in the subsequent period cash receipts journal.
To test the proper valuation of doubtful accounts, we have examined the aging schedules and
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the method of computing doubtful accounts. We were
able to make certain that the Company's estimation is justified. The said allowance for doubtful accounts was
found to be sufficient to cover any possible losses due to non-collections of trade receivables.
We also examined the collections in the subsequent period cash receipts journal, verified the clerical
accuracy and pricing of sales invoice, footed daily sales summaries and traced to journals.
To test for existence, we vouched entries in the T-account back through the system to see if there is
adequate support. We re-added accounts receivable master file and compared it to the general ledger
account. We also verified that aged accounts receivable trial balance is added correctly and individual
amounts agree with master file.
Based on the above data, the allowance for doubtful accounts to cover possible losses due to non-
collection of receivables is more or less 1%. Due to consistency in collections of receivable during the year,
the company retained the allowance as provided. The allowance for doubtful accounts is found to be sufficient
to cover any possible losses due to non-collections of receivables.
