Case (100%)
Roger Company is a mid-sized distributor of home and garden products based in the Midwest.
You’ve been assigned to audit Roger Company’s financial accounts and are a member of the
engagement team. Roger Company has been a client of your firm for a long time, and your firm has
had very few issues with them. On the other hand, the engagement partner has made it clear that
no mistakes would be tolerated. Your responsibilities as one of the engagement’s auditors are
detailed below.

Your audit engagements cover Account Payable and Cash Disbursement transaction using the
following tables:
1) Roger Company Vendors
2) Roger Company AP Transactions
3) Roger Company Cash Disbursements

Company Policies
As a quality control procedure, management at Roger Company reviews each approved vendor at
least once a year. In the reviews, management compares pricing across vendors, retests products
purchased from vendors to ensure they meet quality control standards and performs testing to
ensure purchasing personnel is not inappropriately favoring a vendor or potentially colluding with
vendors. All purchasing should be made from authorized vendors.
Roger Company has the policy to make routine cash disbursements bi-monthly and save the cash
disbursements information in a database available to you as the Roger Company Cash Disbursement
table. Data for non-routine cash disbursements are kept in a different database. Roger Company
considers cash disbursements under $1.500 as routine, and anything else should be in the other
database. The routine payments should be made frequently enough so that a vendor’s accounts
payable balance never exceeds $500. The cash Disbursements table is organized to display the
running accounts payable balance over time.
From experience on past audits, you know that Happy Homes Law Offices handles all of Roger
Company’s legal issues and that Roger Company records legal payments as “Legal Services.”
However, you want to make sure no other legal fees have been paid to other law offices.

1 records counted
INTERPRETATION:
There was payment for legal service made to law office besides Happy Homes, it was Hayward and
Kjelstrom LLP. Amount of transaction is $1232.82 and used on 30 September 2004. Payment made
just once for them, Roger Company used Hayward and LPP service for legalService only one time.

b. List any other law offices that received payments. (10 points)
ANSWER!
INTERPRETATION:
Roger Company used Hayward and Kjelstrom LLP Law Office once and Happy Homes Law Office 14
times. We should ask Roger’s management why they used another law service besides Happy
Homes for just one time, possibility of fraud and something suspicious happened. It was needing
some explanation from the management, did they hide something from the auditor.

c. What other steps do you suggest with this newfound information? (5 points)
ANSWER!
Auditor should check more transactions date of legal service; they use different service than
the usual consultation. There is likelihood of they caught in legal case because of something,
and they consult to the other law office. If they have fraud scheme history, auditor must be
more careful and conscientious doing audit process.

8) Write a brief paragraph explaining how you believe ACL is most helpful to auditors? (10 points)
ANSWER!
The use of the Audit Command Language (ACL) as a substantive test of the revenue cycle can assist
auditors in conducting audits, especially detecting fraud that may occur. The auditor uses the
auditor's assessment of inherent risk, unavoidable control risk, materiality considerations, and
audit efficiency through tests of controls and substantive tests. Example First, test the data
mismatch because the item number value is wrong and does not match the inventory records. In
determining the nature, timing, and level of substantive testing, the auditor uses the auditor's
assessment of inherent risk, unavoidable control risk, materiality considerations, and audit
efficiency through tests of controls and substantive tests. Second, reviewing investment sales for
abnormal trends by scanning file data for unusual transactions and account balances and using
the ACL stratification feature, namely grouping data for predetermined intervals and calculating
the number of records that enter each interval. Third, examine sales invoices and shipping logs for
missing and duplicate items that may be related to evidence of over-or under- or under-receiving
sales and accounts receivable, and examine out-of-sequence records, gaps in sequence numbers,
and duplicates for the entire file.
