SUBSTANTIVE TESTS OF
11 PROPERTY, PLANT AND
EQUIPMENT
11-1. Factors which facilitate the auditors verification of plant and equipment but are
not applicable to audit work on current assets include the following:
(a) High peso amount of individual items. A relatively few transactions may
support a large balance sheet amount.
(b) Usually little change in property accounts year to year. Land, buildings, and
equipment often remain unchanged for many years; hence there is little
accounting activity to verify. In contrast, such current assets as accounts
receivable and inventory may have a complete turnover several times a year.
(c) Minor effect on net income from cutoff errors. Cutoff errors in recording
transactions in plant and equipment are much less likely to have a material
effect on net income than are errors in the cutoff of transactions for purchase
and sale of merchandise. For example, a cutoff error which causes a
P30,000 year-end sales transaction to be recorded a day prior to shipment
may cause a P30,000 overstatement of the current years pretax income.
11-2. The auditors must question the service lives adopted by the client for plant assets.
To do otherwise would be to fail in the collection of sufficient competent evidence
for the clients depreciation policies and procedures.
11-3. The principal objective of the auditors in analyzing a Maintenance and Repairs
expense account is to disclose any capital expenditures which were erroneously
recorded as expense.
11-4. Documentary evidence usually available in the clients office to substantiate legal
ownership of property, plant, and equipment includes deeds, policies of title
insurance or abstract of title and an attorneys opinion as to title, property tax bills,
insurance policies, purchase contracts, purchase orders, invoices, and paid checks.
The auditors may also secure written representations from the client as to
ownership of these assets.
11-5. The auditors employ the following substantive tests to detect unrecorded
retirements of property, plant, and equipment:
(a) If major additions of plant and equipment have been made during the year,
ascertain whether old equipment was traded in or superseded by the new
units.
(b) Analyze the Miscellaneous Revenue account to locate any cash proceeds
from sale of plant assets.
11-2 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition
(c) If any of the companys products have been discounted during the year,
investigate the disposition of plant facilities formerly used in manufacturing
such products.
(d) Inquire of executives and supervisors whether any plant assets have been
retired during the year.
(e) Examine retirement work orders or other source documents for authorization
by the appropriate official or committee.
(f) Investigate any reduction of insurance coverage to see whether this was
caused by retirement of plant assets.
(a) This is the first audit of Kris Corporation by Ian and Ronna. Moreover, the
company has not been audited by other public accountants during the two
previous years of operation. Under these circumstances, the auditors must
investigate fully transactions relating to plant and equipment during the two
prior years of the companys existence, as well as the records of the year
under audit. The adequacy of internal control over plant acquisitions and
disposals would be an important part of this review. Since Kris is a relatively
new company, this study of prior years transactions can be completed within
reasonable time limits.
The review of prior years transactions relating to plant and equipment would
include analysis of the Repairs and Maintenance expense account and should
bring to light the erroneous treatment of plant acquisitions as revenue
expenditures during Years 1 and 2.
If Ian and Ronna did not investigate the property transactions of the two prior
years and the internal controls in force, there would be no satisfactory support
for the balances of the property accounts at the end of Year 3, or for the
depreciation expense of the year under audit. Remember that one of the
auditors basic objectives for plant and equipment is to determine that the
property accounts (including the amounts carried forward from prior years)
are fairly stated.
(b) Both the income statement and the balance sheet prepared at the end of Year
3 would be affected by the errors made in Years 1 and 2. In the balance
sheet, the plant and equipment and also the total assets would be understated
by the undepreciated cost of the assets which were improperly expensed.
Current liabilities and total liabilities would be understated by the additional
income taxes applicable to the understatement of prior periods net income
due to the accounting errors. The retained earnings and total shareholders
equity would be understated by the difference between the understatement of
total assets and the understatement of total liabilities. In the Kris income
statement, depreciation expense would be understated, income taxes expense
overstated, and net income overstated.
