The Reel Wheel
Using Analytical Procedures as Substantive Tests of Account Balances
The Reel Wheel
Coliseum Entertainment Corporation is one of the world’s largest hotel and gaming entertainment companies
One of Coliseum’s strategies to increase revenue and income has been to expand entertainment offerings and to encourage increased traffic to the company’s existing hotel and gaming properties
With that strategy in mind, Coliseum constructed a new attraction, the Reel Wheel, which opened on April 1st, 20X4
Case Background
The Reel Wheel is an observation wheel located at a new outdoor mall on the Las Vegas Strip.
The Reel Wheel operates daily, year-round (less 4 service days), from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Operations between 11:00am and 5:00pm are considered “day-time” rides; those between 5:00pm and 2:00am are considered “night-time” rides.
The client’s unaudited reported Ticket Sales Revenue balance for the year 20X5 is $73,468,219.
The amount of tolerable difference allocated to this account is $675,000.
Audit Focus
The engagement audit partner has asked you, a second-year associate with the firm, to oversee the audit of Ticket Sales Revenue generated by the Reel Wheel during the 20X5 calendar year.
The audit partner encourages you to consider using substantive analytical procedures to develop an independent expectation of Ticket Sales Revenue.
Use that estimate as evidence in evaluating the reasonableness of Coliseum’s reported Ticket Sales Revenue for the Reel Wheel’s operations during the year.
Part 1.1: Using Substantive Analytical Procedures
Respond to the following questions, citing relevant standards:
How and in what contexts may substantive analytical procedures be used during the course of the financial statement audit?
Are substantive analytical procedures allowed to be used as audit evidence?
What specific assertions related to the Ticket Sales Revenue account balance could a substantive analytical procedure be used to test?
Does the Ticket Sales Revenue account include “predictable relationships” required to develop an independent expectation?
Why do you think a substantive analytical procedure might be more effective and efficient than tests of details for the Ticket Sales Revenue account?
Part 1.2: Using Substantive Analytical Procedures
What do the auditing standards mean when they refer to the “precision” of an expectation developed with a substantive analytical procedure?
What do the standards suggest that you could do to improve the “precision” of your expectation for Ticket Sales Revenue?
Part 1.3: Using Substantive Analytical Procedures
Does the data provided to you for the purpose of conducting the audit of Reel Wheel’s Ticket Sales Revenue meet the requirements regarding the reliability of underlying data?
How does the source of the information impact its reliability?
Are there external sources that might be used to validate portions of the data provided by the client?
Part 1.4: Using Substantive Analytical Procedures
As indicated in the standards, briefly describe the required steps for documentation of substantive analytical procedures
Part 2.1: Attendance Expectations
Before developing and evaluating a precise analytic, consider a quick “reasonableness test” you could perform.
Develop a quick estimate of the maximum number of passengers possible during 20X5. In other words, how many passengers could ride on the Reel Wheel if every passenger car was filled to capacity for the entire year?
Part 2.1: Attendance Expectations
Note that this represents maximum capacity.
How many passengers would have experienced the Reel Wheel if it ran at 75%, 50%, and 25% of maximum capacity?
Part 2.1: Attendance Expectations
Part 2.2: Ticket Sales Expectation
Using highly aggregated ticket sales data (e.g., total passengers, average ticket price), develop an independent estimate of Ticket Sales Revenue in 20X5 and compare it to the client’s reported balance.
Part 2.2: Ticket Sales Expectation
Using this analytic, one would conclude that the Ticket Sales Revenue account is materially misstated.
What’s wrong with using a highly aggregated analytic like this?
What type of disaggregated information would help the auditor develop a more precise estimate?
Part 2.3: Using Disaggregated Data
Part 2.3: Using Disaggregated Data
Using this analytic with disaggregated data, one would conclude that the Ticket Sales Revenue account is fairly stated.
Parts 3.1-3.2: Reflect on the Engagement
Is the estimate developed in Part 2.3 (the disaggregated estimate) precise enough, or is more precision needed? Explain.
Given that much of the data was provided by the client, what additional audit procedures could you supplement this substantive analytic with to provide additional corroborating evidence that these ticket sales actually occurred?
Consider how your approach to auditing the Ticket Sales Revenue account would be different if a third-party ticket provider with a SOC 1 Type II report were providing these services for the client and was therefore the provider of ticket sales data (e.g. number of passengers, ticket prices, seasonality, daytime vs. nighttime rides, etc.).
Part 3.3: Reflect on the Engagement
Assuming the client’s controls are effective, how might the auditor use data analytics tools to audit the ticket sales revenue account?
How would the evidence obtained using data analytics (i.e., ability to effectively analyze every sales transaction during the year) compare with the evidence from both substantive analytical procedures and tests of details in terms of effectiveness and efficiency?
What additional insights might the auditor be able to identify using data analytics?
Part 3.4: Reflect on the Engagement
Research the AICPA’s website and briefly explain what a SOC 1 Type II report is.
Consider how your approach to auditing the Ticket Sales Revenue account might be different if a third-party ticket provider with a SOC 1 Type II report were providing these services for the client and was therefore the source of the ticket sales data you requested (e.g. number of passengers, ticket prices, seasonality, daytime vs. nighttime rides).
Lessons Learned
Substantive analytical procedures can provide efficient and effective substantive tests when properly designed and when incorporating reliable data.
Analytics developed using disaggregated data provide a more precise expectation compared to analytics that use aggregated data.

Part 2.1 Solution
| Part 2.1 | In order to better understand whether the reported number of total passengers in 20X5 (as advertised by Coliseum) is reasonable, develop a quick estimate of the maximum number of passengers possible during 20X5. In other words, how many passengers could ride on the Reel Wheel if every passenger car was filled to capacity for the entire year? Given that not every car will be filled to capacity, develop a rough estimate for a “reasonable” number of reported passengers during the year. Does the number of reported passengers seem reasonable? | ||||

Part 2.2 Solution

| Notes: | ||||||
| Based on this independent estimate, which is based on highly-aggregated passenger data and with a rudimentary average of available ticket prices, the client's unaudited Ticket Sales Revenue appers to be overstated by an amount greater than the tolerable difference. Based on this analytic, it appears that the account is materially overstated. Recommend substantive tests of transaction details by sampling daily sales receipts, deposits, and ledger entries. | ||||||
Part 2.3 Solution
| Part 2.3 | Using the disaggregated data available to you, develop an audit work paper to report a more precise estimate for Ticket Sales Revenue in 20X5 at the Reel Wheel. Compare your revised estimate using disaggregated data with the client’s reported account balance and determine (1) whether or not the client’s amount appears to be materially misstated and (2) what, if any, additional audit work is required to test the account balance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
