The practice of auditing commenced on that day when individual assumed to be stewardship over another's property. In organisation audit is done to do verification of result in the state affairs of company (Arens, Elder, and Mark, 2012). The auditors are having responsibility to meet with society expectation. In this assignment, different case study on auditing has been explained with their solutions.

PART A

A-1

Corporate managers are responsible for marketing pharmaceutical products which inevitable encounter the challenges of ethical issues. One of the reason is that ethics has special relevance to pharmaceutical industry which is related with intrinsic nature of drug product. As there are different types of hazardous wastage which could be managed by organisation. The resources which are using by company should be used in limited manner and these all should be included in decision which are taken by organisation.

A-2

An action which will take by auditor is that, first of all they will see that material error turnover should not be more than specified rate. If it has been found that there is a greater number of percentage of material error, then it is responsibility of manager to inform about hedge transaction (William Glover, and Prawitt, 2016). Moreover, they have to monitor all hedge transaction and identify that what errors are there where it increasing the errors. An auditor has to report all transaction which are doing by company to treasure in order to reduce the risk which is related with transaction. Through this they can also identify the weaknesses to control those areas where monitoring is not done properly.

A-3

While conducting audit on Billing & Associate, it is responsibility of auditor to provide sufficient evidence. But at the time of conducting audit, auditor did not perform their responsibilities in appropriate manner because there is not a proper evidence. In regard to this, client management asked to organisation to review engagement letter that audit has not been done properly due to lack of documentation. So, they are having right to ask for the sufficient document otherwise penalty or fine will be imposed.

A-4 (a)

Different type of threats is there which has been faced by several companies. In first case, auditor of Hail Pty Ltd finalised the financial statement which has been prepared by client. However, client is admitting about that he is having limited knowledge in preparing the records. In this auditor is having responsibility while finalising the account he is responsible to check it again. Hence, there is independence threat to organisation (Yang, and Jia, 2013).

In second case, auditor of Travel Time Ltd is providing suggestion for improving their quality of services. To gain consumer confidence, organisation need to set the price of goods and services at reasonable price. Along with this they have to provide all necessary document to audit to see that how much expenses are done by organisation (Furnham, and Gunter, 2015)).

In third case, in Civil Construction Ltd, auditor cannot do auditing because his wife is having substantial shareholding in that company.

In forth case, there is a threat of independence because company is not paying fee to auditor and due to this they are not issuing report also.

A-4 (b)

In first scenario, company will suffer from loss amount because auditor did not check the final accounts which has been prepared by client. As client had clearly stated that he is not having sufficient knowledge about all this. So, ultimately it become burden on organisation to give penalty or fine which is imposed by government.

Besides this in fourth case, mutual consent can be done by organisation with auditor because it depends upon the company profit whether it will increase or not in upcoming year (Wang, Li, and Li, 2012).

Under this case, CPPL is the small chain of convenience stores which renders products grocery products. In this era, most of the supermarket chain capturing the market drastically with the help of rendering products at a cheaper rate. Henceforth, they are stimulating anti- competitive trade in order to eliminate small traders like- CPPL (Knechel, and Salterio, 2016).

This risk arise due to material misstatement because of obsolescence of the product.

Supplier payment risks: Under this, supplier of CPPL reduce payment terms from 30 to 14 days which would probably creates problems for the firm for payment to them.

If the supplier reduce their credit line then in that case, this would lead to risks of material statement.

The predatory pricing risk creates risks of material misstatement.

Lease risk: The CPPL company uses the premises in which the lesser demanding to 50% more in rent.
