Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 25DQP
The following are misstatements that have occurred in Fresh Foods Grocery Store, a retail and wholesale grocery company:
- 1. On the last day of the year, a truckload of beef was set aside for shipment but was not shipped. Because it was still on hand, the inventory was counted. The shipping document was dated the last day of the year, so it was also included as a current-year sale.
- 2. The incorrect price was used on sales invoices for billing shipments to customers because the wrong price was entered into the computer master file of prices.
- 3. A vendor invoice was paid even though no merchandise was ever received. The accounts payable software application does not require the input of a valid receiving report number before payment can be made.
- 4. Employees in the receiving department took sides of beef for their personal use. When a shipment of meat was received, the receiving department filled out a receiving report and forwarded it to the accounting department for the amount of goods actually received. At that time, two sides of beef were put in an employee’s pickup truck rather than in the storage freezer.
- 5. An accounts payable clerk processed payments to himself by adding a fictitious vendor address to the approved vendor master file.
- 6. During the physical count of inventory of the retail grocery, one counter wrote down the wrong description of several products and miscounted the quantity.
- 7. A salesperson sold an entire carload of lamb at a price below cost because she did not know the cost of lamb had increased in the past week.
- 8. A vendor’s invoice was paid twice for the same shipment because the vendor sent a duplicate copy of the original 2 weeks after the payment was due.
- a. For each misstatement, identify one or more types of controls that were absent.
- b. For each misstatement, identify the transaction-related audit objectives impacted.
- c. For each misstatement, suggest a control that may have prevented or detected the misstatement.

Company A sells floral centerpieces, but they aren't
very good at accounting. They have a year-end of
December 31st. In 2019, they recorded their regular
transactions, but then realized the following:
They were counting inventory at 12/31/18 and the
inventory clerk forgot to include in inventory $40,000
of flowers that were in transit to a customer (shipped
FOB destination a few days before). Analyze the error
assuming that it is not discovered at 12/31/18. Use
the standard grid, but also include a line for retained
earnings.
They are impressed, but are also bummed out. It
appears that in March 2019, their clerk forgot to
record the freight in of 10,000 for items that were
purchased in March. The error was not discovered
until they paid the freight bill in 2020. Analyze using
the standard grid, but analyze retained earnings as
well.
If Company A just lets both errors play out without
correcting them, what is the amount of the error they
would have in their 2019 cost of goods sold…
