Co, and at the year end a material balance is held in this account. Southern Bank Co provided a letter to
the financial controller of Walker Co to confirm the balance at the year end.
Share capital
Walker Co plans to expand its operation into online retailing next year and has undertaken a rights issue in
the current year to fund the new venture.

B. Brown & Green Co should obtain a list of subsequent events from the directors of Strawberry Co

audit

directors of Strawberry Co to determine whether the financial statements need amended
