Development costs are capitalized only after technical and commercialfeasibility of the asset for sale or use have been established. This means that the entity must intend and be able to complete the intangible asset and either uses it or sell it and be able to demonstrate how the asset will generate future economic benefits. ( PAS 38, par.57) If an entity cannot distinguish the research phase of an internal project to create an intangible asset from the development phase, the entity treats the expenditure for that project as if it were incurred in the research phase only. Problem NO. 3 You gathered the following information related to the Patents of the Lady Han Cookie Corporation in connection with your audit of the company’s financial statements for the year 2006. In 2005, Lady Han developed a new machine that reduces the time required to insert the fortunes into its fortune cookies. Because the process is considered very valuable to the fortune cookie industry, Lady Han patented the machine. The following expenses were incurred in developing and patenting the machine: Research and laboratory expenses Metal used in the construction of the machine Blueprints used to design the machine Legal expenses to obtain patent Wages paid for the employees’ work on the research, development and building of the machine (60% of the time was spent in actually building the machine) Expense of drawing required by the patent office to be submitted with the patent application Fees paid to the government patent office to process application

Explanation: Cost of an internally generated intangible asset (PAS 38 paragraph 65, 66, and 67) The cost of an internally generated intangible asset for the purpose of paragraph 24 is the sum of expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria in paragraphs 21, 22 and 57. Paragraph 71 prohibits reinstatement of expenditure previously recognized as an expense. The cost of an internally generated intangible asset comprises all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce, and prepare the asset to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Examples of directly attributable costs are: (a) costs of materials and services used or consumed in generating the intangible asset; (b) costs of employee benefits (as defined in IAS 19) arising from the generation of the intangible asset;

(c) fees to a legal right; and (d) amortisation of patents and licences that are used to generate the intangible asset. IAS 23 specifies criteria for the recognition of interest as an element of the cost of an internally generated intangible asset. The following are not components of the cost of an internally generated intangible asset: (a) selling, istrative and other general overhead expenditure unless this expenditure can be directly attributed to preparing the asset for use; (b) identified inefficiencies and initial operating losses incurred before the asset achieves planned performance; and (c) expenditure on training staff to operate the asset. 2.

PAS 16, paragraph 16; 17 Elements of cost The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises: (a) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates. (b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. (c) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period. Examples of directly attributable costs are: (a) costs of employee benefits (as defined in IAS 19 Employee Benefits) arising directly from the construction or acquisition of the item of property, plant and equipment;

(b) costs of site preparation; (c) initial delivery and handling costs; (d) installation and assembly costs; (e) costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly, after deducting the net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing the asset to that location and condition (such as samples produced when testing equipment); and (f) professional fees.

PAS 38, paragraph 54 and 57 Research phase No intangible asset arising from research (or from the research phase of an internal project) shall be recognised. Expenditure on research (or on the research phase of an internal project) shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred

Development phase An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) shall be recognised if, and only if, an entity can demonstrate all of the following: (a) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale. (b) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it. (c) its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

(d) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the entity can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset. (e) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset. (f) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

4. ANSWER: C Carrying amount of patent as of December 31, 2006 Solution: Cost of Patent (refer to no. 1) Less: Amortization (648,000 / 20)*2 Carrying amount

648, 000 64, 800 583, 200

PAS 38, paragraph 97 Amortization period and amortization method The depreciable amount of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Amortisation shall begin when the asset is available for use, ie when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Amortisation shall cease at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 and the date that the asset is derecognised. The amortisation method used shall reflect the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the entity. If that pattern cannot be determined reliably, the straight-line method shall be used. The amortisation charge for each period shall be recognised in profit or loss unless this or another Standard permits or requires it to be included in the carrying amount of another asset.

5. ANSWER: D Evaluate the future revenue-producing capacity of the intangible asset PAS 38 Criteria for initial recognition

The previous version of IAS 38 required an intangible asset to be recognised if, and only if, it was probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset would flow to the entity, and its cost could be measured reliably. These recognition criteria have been included in the Standard. However, additional guidance has been included to clarify that: (a) the probability recognition criterion is always considered to be satisfied for intangible assets that are acquired separately or in a business combination. (b) the fair value of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination can be measured with sufficient reliability to be recognised separately from goodwill. Future economic benefits The future economic benefits flowing from an intangible asset may include revenue from the sale of products or services, cost savings, or other benefits resulting from the use of the asset by the entity. For example, the use of intellectual property in a production process may reduce future production costs rather than increase future revenues

PAS 38 paragraph 21 to 22 provides a provision with regards to the recognition of Intangible assets. An intangible asset shall be recognized if, and only if: (a) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and

(b) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. An entity shall assess the probability of expected future economic benefits using reasonable and able assumptions that represent management’s best estimate of the set of economic conditions that will exist over the useful life of the asset.” In addition, par 119 of PAS 38 enumerated common examples of Intangible assets that entities recognizes: A class of intangible assets is a grouping of assets of a similar nature and use in an entity’s operations. Examples of separate classes may include: (a) brand names; (b) mastheads and publishing titles; (c) computer software; (d) licenses and franchises; (e) copyrights, patents and other industrial property rights, service and operating rights; (f) recipes, formulae, models, designs and prototypes; and (g) intangible assets under development. And according to paragraph 24 of PAS 38 “an intangible asset shall be measured initially at cost.” Using the cost model according to paragraph 74 of PAS 38“an intangible asset shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.”

The treatment to research and development, according to paragraph 126 of PAS 38, which states the entity “shall disclose the aggregate amount of research and development expenditure recognised as an expense during the period.” Advertising and organization cost shall be part of the expenses according to paragraph 69(a)(c) of PAS38 which states that “(a) expenditure on start-up activities unless this expenditure is included in the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16;(c) expenditure on advertising and promotional activities” Problem NO. 5 Gilead Enterprise has been in the business for several years.

Before 2016, Gilead Enterprises prepared financial statements internally, the company has not been audited because the ownership is held completely by one family and is not actively sold. As of 2016, however, in anticipation of bank loans and possible offering of common stock, the company needs audited financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted ing principles. As a member of the team of independent auditors responsible for Gilead Enterprises, you have been assigned the intangible assets. You have observed that four intangible asset s appear on the unadjusted trial balance. Additional investigation reveals the following:

Patents: All patents were purchase from another company when Gilead Enterprises began operations on January 2, 2009. These patents are being amortized over an expected useful life of 14 years. Improvements made to equipment covered by the patent costing P75,000 was debited to the in January 2013. Amortization in 2013-2015 included amortization on the P75,000 for the remaining life of the relevant patent. It is determined that the P75,000 should have been expensed in 2013. It is further determined on January 1, 2016, that one of the patents has a remaining life of only 2 years. This patent was originally assigned a cost of P210,000. Franchise Agreements: A franchise agreement was signed on January 1,2016. A P50,000 fee was paid, covering a 5-year period, at the end of which the company may renew the agreement by paying P50,000. A decision on renewal has not been made as of December 31, 2016. The agreement calls for an annual payment of 5% of its sales revenue. An entry debiting the for P45,000 was made at the time of the cash payment for 2016.

Software Costs: During 2016 Gilea,d incurred cost to develop and produce routine, low risk computer software product as follows: Completion of total program design 130,000 Cost incurred for coding and testing to establish technological feasibility 100,000 Other coding cost after establishment of technological feasibility 240,000 Other testing cost after establishment of technological feasibility 200,000 Cost to product master 150,000 Duplication of computer software and training materials from product master (1,000 units) 250,000 Packaging product( 500 units) 90,000 P1,160,000 Goodwill The goodwill includes Three Items: •

Answer: A Completion of total program design Cost incurred for coding and testing to establish technological feasibility

130,000 the 100,000 230,000

PAS 38 stated that the cost incurred in generating a software product shall be charge to expense when incurred until a technical feasibility has been established for the product. Actually, this is the research stage where there is so much uncertainty about the future economic benefits. Hence, research costs shall be expense outright. After technological feasibility has been established, capitalized software costs include the cost of coding and testing and the cost to produce the masters. The costs incurred to actually produce the software from masters and package the software for sale shall be charged toInventory.

PAS 16 par. 41 The revaluation surplus included in equity in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment may be transferred directly to retained earnings when the a sset is derecognised. This may involve transferring the whole of the surplus when the asset is retired or disposedof. However, some of the surplus may be transferred as the asset is used by an entity. In such a case, the amount of the surplus transferred would be the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost. Transfers from revaluation surplus to retained earnings are not made through profit or loss.

However, the increase shall be recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss. In this case only the appreciation on office equipment is recognize as revaluation surplus because it’s using revaluation model. On the other hand machinery which is using cost model shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses according to PAS 16 paragraph 30. 3.B Depreciation: Machinery 2,000,000/5yrs Office equipment 996,000/ 3years Total depreciation for 2008

According to PAS 16 paragraph 35, when an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued, any accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is treated in one of the following ways: (a)restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals its revalued amount. This method is often used when an asset is revalued by means of applying an index to determine its depreciated replacement cost. (b)Eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset. This method is often used for buildings.

The company’s ant determines the patent has an expected life of 10 years and no expected residual value, and that it will generate approximately equal benefits each year. The company expects to use the copyright and tradename for the foreseeable future. The ant knows that the computer software will be used in 120 offices: 60 offices in 2009, and expects to replace the software in 40 more offices in 2010 and the remainder in 2011. On December 31, 2009, there are no indications of impairment of patent and computer software. The following information relates to the other intangibles: a. Because of the rampant piracy, the copyright is expected to generate cash flows of just P8,000 per year. b. The tradename is expected to generate cash flows of P15,000 per year. c. The goodwill is associated with Terran’s SCV Manufacturing reporting unit. The cash flows expected to be generated by the SCV Manufacturing reporting unit is P200,000 per year for the next 25 years.

Good will is not recognized as part of intangible assets because it is defined as “unidentifiable” for it cannot be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchange separately. The Standard states that an asset meets the identifiability criterion in the definition of an intangible asset when it: (a) is separable, ie capable of being separated or divided from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or together with a related contract, asset or liability; or (b) arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferable or separable from the entity or from other rights and obligations. The new carrying value of the intangible assets at the end of the period is the difference between its original amount less the amortization or impairment loss recognized for the year.

PROBLEM NO.11 On December 31, 2004, Silver Corporation acquired the following three intangible assets: •

A trademark for P300,000. The trademark has 7 years remaining legal life. It is anticipated that the trademark will be renewed in the future, indefinitely, without problem.

•

Goodwill for P1,500,000. The goodwill is associated with Silver s Hayo Manufacturing reporting unit.

•

A customer list for P220,000. By contract, Silver has exclusive use of the list for 5 years. Because of market conditions, it is expected that the list will have economic value for just 3 years.

On December 31, 2005, before any adjusting entries for the year were made, the following information was assembled about each of the intangible assets: a) Because of a decline in the economy, the trademark is now expected to generate cash flows of just P10,000 per year. The useful life of trademark still extends beyond the foreseeable horizon. b) The cash flows expected to be generated by the Hayo Manufacturing reporting unit is P250,000 per year for the next 22 years.

(PAS 36, par 8) If it is not possible to determine the fair value less costs to sell because there is no basis for making a reliable estimate of the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties, the entity may use the asset’s value in use as its recoverable amount. (PAS 36, par 20) 3. Answer: C Cost Less: Impairment Loss Carrying value, 12/31/08

300,000 133,333 166,667

4. Answer: A Since goodwill is not amortized and is not impaired as of 12/31/08, the carrying value is still P1,500,000. 5. Answer: B Cost 220,000 Less: Amortization for 2008 73,333 Carrying value, 12/31/08 146,667 An entity shall choose either the cost model in paragraph 74 or the revaluation model in paragraph 75 as its ing policy. (PAS 38, par 72) In the cost model: After initial recognition, an intangible asset shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. (PAS 38, par 74) In the revaluation model: After initial recognition, an intangible asset shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. (PAS 38, par 75)

PROBLEM NO.12 On January 1, 2016, Onin Co. decided to sell a machinery with a cost of 1200,000 and accumulated depreciation of 480,000. Depreciation of P10,000 per month has been provided by the company since it was acquired. The machinery will continue to be operated until sold. The company undertook all the necessary actions to be able to classify the asset as held for sale. On the same date, The fair value of asset amounted to 620,000 while the costs to sell total P20,000.

On February 28, 2016, the plant had not been sold but there has been objective evidence that the fair value went up to P810,000. On July, 1, 2016, Onin Co. sold the machinery for P8,00,000 after incurring selling costs of P50,000. QUESTIONS: Based on the above data, compute the following:

1. How much is the impairment loss to be recognized on January 1, 2016? a. Nil b. P100,000 c. P120,000 d. P500,000 2. How much is the depreciation expense in 2016? a. Nil b. P20,000 c. P60,000

d. P120,000

3. How much is the gain to be recognized in profit or loss in 2016 asa result of increase in the fair value of the asset? a. Nil b. P30,000 c. P120,000 d. P190,000 4.How much is the net gain (or loss) on sale of the asset in 2016? a. Nil b. P30,000 c. P120,000 d. P190,000 5. Carrying amount of other intangibles assets on December 31, 2009? a. P690,000 b. P980,000 c. P640,000 d. P706,667

Solution and Explanation: 1. Answer: C Cost of Machinery Less: Acc. Depreciation, 1/1/16 Carrying Amount, 1/1/16 Less: FV less costs to sell, 1/1/16 (620,000-20,000)

An entity shall measure a noncurrent asset classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. (PFRS 5, par 15) An entity shall recognize an impairment loss for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. (PFRS 5, par 20)

2. Answer: A Nil or Zero An entity shall not depreciate a noncurrent asset while it is classified as held for sale. (PFRS 5, par. 25)

3. Answer: C Fair Value less costs to sell, 2/28/16 (810,000 – 20,000) 790,000 FV less costs to sell, 1/1/16 (620,000-20,000) 600,000 Increase in FV less costs to sell 190,000 Impairment loss recognized (limit)

120,000

Gain to be recognized 120,000 An entity shall recognize a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized either in accordance with PFRS 5 or previously in accordance with PAS 36. (PFRS 5, par 21)

4. Answer: B Net sales proceeds (800,000 – 50,000) 750,000 Carrying Amount after the reversal of Impairment Loss (600,000 – 120,000) (720,000) Gain on Sale 30,000 The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item. (PAS 16, par 71)

5. Answer: A Nil or Zero

Since the fair value less costs of disposal is greater than the carrying amount at the date of reclassification, there is no impairment loss to be recognized. An entity shall recognise an impairment loss for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell, to the extent that it has not been recognised in accordance with paragraph 19. (PFRS 5, par 20) An entity shall recognise a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognised either in accordance with this IFRS or previously in accordance with PAS 36. (PFRS 5, par 21)

PROBLEM NO.13 The following balances have been extracted from the nominal ledger of Athena Co. at September 30, 2016 Land at cost Plant and machinery (Note 1) -cost -Accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2015 Freehold buildings (Note 2) -valuation -accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2015

400,000 385,000 144,375 1,644,000 192,000

The following additional information is available: • On April 1, 2016, Athena Co. decided to sell one of its machines which had a carrying amount of P8,200 on September 30, 2015. On April 1, 2016, the machine had a fair value of P6,500 and met the “held for sale” criteria of PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The machine was still held by Athena Co. at the year end, although a buyer had been found. No adjustment to the above balances has been made in respect of this machine. There have been no other changes to plant and machinery in the current year. Plant and machinery is depreciated using the reducing balance method at a rate of 20% pa. •

Athena Co. carries its freehold buildings ( Property A and Property B) under the revaluation method. The latest revaluations were on October 1, 2015 but these have not yet been reflected in the above balances. The following information is available with regard to these properties:

Depreciation of remaining asset held for sale 820 Depreciation Expense for 9/30/16 47,305 The depreciable amount of an asset shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. (PAS 16, par 50) Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, ie when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by

management. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 and the date that the asset is derecognised. Therefore, depreciation does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. However, under usage methods of depreciation the depreciation charge can be zero while there is no production. (PAS 16, par 55) An entity shall not depreciate (or amortise) a non-current asset while it is classified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale shall continue to be recognised. (PFRS 5, par 25)

Revaluations shall be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. (PAS 16, par 31)

5. Answer: C 6. Answer: D

THEORY QUESTIONS 1. The most effective means for the auditor to determine whether a recorded intangible asset possesses the characteristic of an asset is a. Vouch the purchase by reference to underlying documentation. b. Inquire as to the status of patent application. c. Evaluate the future revenue-producing capacity of the intangible asset. d. Analyze the research and development expenditures to determine that only those expenditures possessing future economic benefit have been capitalized. 2.

Confer with management regarding a change in the title of the to “goodwill” d. Confer with management regarding ownership of the patent 4. There is goodwill involved in the acquisition of a business if the purchase price paid is in excess of the proprietorship of the business acquired. Goodwill might be viewed as the employment of a profit by a company in excess of the normal or usual return for the industry as a whole but such goodwill is not recorded if it has not been purchased or paid for. a. False;True b. False; False c. True;False d. True;True 5. Which of the following comparisons would be most appropriate audit test for the amount of recorded goodwill? a. The purchase price and the book value of assets purchased. b. The purchase price and the fair value of the asset purchased. c. The figure for goodwill specified in the contract of purchase. d. Earnings in excess of 5% of net assets for the past five years. 6. In ing the amount of goodwill recorded by a client, the most convincing evidence an auditor can obtain is by comparing the recorded value of asset acquired with a. Assessed value as evidenced by tax bills. b. Seller’s book value as evidenced by financial statements. c. Insured value as evidenced by insurance policies. d. Appraised value as evidenced by independent appraisals.

7. A corporate balance sheet indicates that one of the corporate assets is a patent. An auditor will most likely obtain evidence regarding the continuity validity and existence of this patent by obtaining a written representation from a. A patent attorney b. The patent advisor c. The SEC d. The patent owner 8. In testing the existence assertion for an intangible asset, an auditor would probably rely on: a. Observation b. Recomputation c. Vouching d. Analytical Review 9. When the auditor wants to test the asset for impairment, the auditor would most likely be concerned with the recoverable amount of an intangible asset. For this purpose, recoverable amount of an intangible asset is: a. Fair value less cost to sell b. Value in use c. Fair value less cost to sell or value in use, whichever is lower d. Fair value less cost to sell or value in use, whichever is higher 10. An auditor, examining intangible assets would most likely take exception to the capitalization of the cost of: a. Website development b. Software development c. Licensing a patent d. Goodwill in a business combination

Solutions and Explanations 1. Answer: C PAS 38 Criteria for initial recognition 2. Answer: A Assertions about valuation and allocation deal with whether assets, liabilities, and equity interests have been included in the financial statements at appropriate amounts. Recalculation of the amortization and review of the amortization period would test the valuation and allocation assertion.

3. Answer: A The cost of an internally generated intangible asset comprises all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce, and prepare the asset to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. (PAS 38, par 66) Research and development activities are directed to the development of knowledge. Therefore, although these activities may result in an asset with physical substance (eg a prototype), the physical element of the asset is secondary to its intangible component, ie the knowledge embodied in it. (PAS 38, par 5) 4. Answer: D The acquirer shall recognise goodwill as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (a) over (b): (a) the aggregate of: (i) the consideration transferred measured in accordance with this IFRS, which generally requires acquisition-date fair value; (ii) the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree measured in accordance with this IFRS; and (iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree. (b) the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed measured in accordance with this IFRS. (PFRS 3, par 32)

Goodwill recognised in a business combination is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. The future economic benefits may result from synergy between the identifiable assets acquired or from assets that, individually, do not qualify for recognition in the financial statements. (PAS 38, par 11) 5. Answer: B The acquirer shall recognise goodwill as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (a) over (b): (a) the aggregate of: (i) the consideration transferred measured in accordance with this IFRS, which generally requires acquisition-date fair value;(ii) the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree measured in accordance with this IFRS; and (iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree. (b) the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed measured in accordance with this IFRS. (PFRS 3, par 32)

6. Answer: D Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (ie an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. (PFRS 13, par 24)

7. Answer: A Explanation: PSA 580, paragraph 3 Written Representations as Audit Evidence Audit evidence is all the information used by the auditor in arriving at the conclusions on which the audit opinion is based. Written representations are necessary information that the auditor requires in connection with the audit of the entity’s financial statements. Accordingly, similar to responses to inquiries, written representations are audit evidence. PSA 580, paragraph A4 to A7 Management from whom Written Representations Requested Written representations are requested from those responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements. Those individuals may vary depending on the governance structure of the entity, and relevant law or regulation; however, management (rather than those charged with governance) is often the responsible party. Written representations may therefore be requested from the entity’s chief executive officer and chieffinancial officer, or other equivalent persons in entities that do not use such titles. In some circumstances, however, other parties, such as those charged with governance, are also responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements. Due to its responsibility for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, and its responsibilities for the conduct of the entity’s business, management would be expected to have sufficient knowledge of the process followed by the entity in preparing and presenting the financial statements and the assertions therein on which to base the written representations. In some cases, however, management may decide to make inquiries of others who participate in preparing and presenting the financial statements and assertions therein, including individuals who have specialized knowledge relating to the matters about which written representations are requested. Such individuals may include: • An actuary responsible for actuarially determined ing measurements. • Staff engineers who may have responsibility for and specialized knowledge about environmental liability measurements. • Internal counsel who may provide information essential to provisions for legal claims.

In some cases, management may include in the written representations qualifying language to the effect that representations are made to the best of its knowledge and belief. It is reasonable for the auditor to accept such wording if the auditor is satisfied that the representations are being made by those with appropriate responsibilities and knowledge of the matters included in the representations.

8. Answer: C PSA 500, paragraph A14: A15 Inspection Inspection involves examining records or documents, whether internal or external, in paper form, electronic form, or other media, or a physical examination of an asset. Inspection of records and documents provides audit evidence of varying degrees of reliability, depending on their nature and source and, in the case of internal records and documents, on the effectiveness of the controls over their production. An example of inspection used as a test of controls is inspection of records for evidence of authorization. Some documents represent direct audit evidence of the existence of an asset, for example, a document constituting a financial instrument such as a stock or bond. Inspection of such documents may not necessarily provide audit evidence about ownership or value. In addition, inspecting an executed contract may provide audit evidence relevant to the entity’s application of ing policies, such as revenue recognition. 9. Answer: D The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. (PAS 36, par 6) 10. Answer: A Website Development does not fall under the definition of Intangible Assets in PAS 38, paragraphs 8-17, as well as under the recognition criteria in paragraphs 21-23 of the same standard.
