- It is February 16, 2020, and you are auditing Davenport Corporation's financial statements for 2019 (which will be issued in March 2020). You read in the newspaper that Travis Corporation, a major customer of Davenport, is in financial difficulty. Included in Davenports accounts receivable is 50,000 (a material amount) owed to it by Travis. You approach Jim Davenport, president, with this information and suggest that a reduction of accounts receivable and recognition of a loss for 2019 might be appropriate. Jim replies, Why should we make an adjustment? Ted Travis, the president of Travis Corporation, is a friend of mine; he will find a way to pay us, one way or another. Furthermore, this occurred in 2020, so lets wait and see what happens; we can always make an adjustment later this year. Our 2019 income and year-end working capital are not that high; our creditors and shareholders wouldnt stand for lower amounts than they already are. Required: From financial reporting and ethical perspectives, prepare a response to Jim Davenport regarding this issue.arrow_forwardYou have recorded a revolving line of credit on your company’s financial statements due within the next ten (10) months as a long-term liability. The board of directors of the company has asked you to explain why you have done so. The company has been in default with its loan covenants, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, the bank granted a waiver. Why would recording the loan as a long-term liability from a business standpoint of view make sense apart from compliance with promulgated standards? (Identify the criteria that should be met prior to reflecting the loan)arrow_forwardIngalls Corporation is in the process of negotiating a loan for expansion purposes. The books and records have never been audited, and the bank has requested that an audit be performed. Ingalls has prepared the following comparative financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: 1. Prepare the journal entries to correct the books at December 31, 2020. The book s for 2020 have not been closed. Ignore income taxes. 2. Prepare a schedule showing the computation of corrected net income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, assuming that any adjustments are to be reported on comparative statements for the 2 years. The first items on your schedule should be the net income for each year. Ignore income taxes. (Do not prepare financial statements.)arrow_forward

During the course of the audit of Sail-Away Company, the auditor noted that the current ratio has dropped to 1.75. the company’s loan covenant requires the maintenance of a current ratio of 2.0, or the company’s det is all immediately due. The auditor and the company have contacted the bank, which is not willing to waive the loan covenant because the company has been experiencing operating losses for the past few years and has an inadequate capital structure. The auditor has substantial doubt that the company can find adequate financing elsewhere and may encounter difficulties staying in operation. Management, however, is confident that it can overcome the problem.
