Audit Plan
| The capital acquisition and repayment cycle regards to the payment to lenders transaction, interest-bearing debt, and the stockholders’ equity. This cycle appears to be more susceptible to material misstatement. Although the risk level tends to be set low by auditors, this transaction cycle deserves a closer examination because the current liabilities and total liabilities seem to fluctuate by large amounts according to the horizontal analysis. Also, the debt to equity ratio is negative, meaning the company has more debt or liabilities than they can cover in assets. Lastly, the shareholders' equity seems to fluctuate vastly according to the horizontal analysis. Therefore, it should be examined in further detail where their money is going and to whom. |
