Task #1
Green, CPA, is completing audit procedures for the December 31, year 4, audit of JBU Co., a non-issuer (not a public corporation). An auditor from Green attended the physical inventory observation at year-end. JBU Co. maintains a perpetual inventory system integrated with its general ledger. The auditor noted some issues that require further investigation while reviewing JBU's inventory count sheets and warehouse location maps.
The source documents examined by the auditor are in this file ACCT444CD#1Exhibits.docx (FILE ATTACHED)
The auditor established the following information relating to the inventory count and product lines of JBU.
· There was no product movement on the day of the count.
· The loading dock is part of Warehouse A for the purposes of the count.
· All product lines within each storage area are on the warehouse maps.
· The warehouse map is reflective of the warehouse on the day of the count.
· Inventory values in the perpetual inventory listing are the most recent purchase price.
· Materiality for year-end audit $8,000
· Performance materiality: $5,000
Complete the inventory tasks below by using the information provided in the exhibits:
1. In column B, quantify the required adjustment, if any, to the product line in the perpetual inventory system.
· Enter increases to the perpetual inventory listing as positive whole dollars.
· Enter decreases to the perpetual inventory listing as negative whole do
· If no adjustment to the perpetual inventory listing is required, enter a zero (0).
2. In column C, select the justification for the required audit adjustment, or the reason why no audit adjustment is required, by selecting from the option list provided. A justification is once, more than once, or not used at all.
Assume that there is only one reason for each product line discrepancy

Task #2

Auditor,
Please see my response to your question inline below. Also, it should be noted that on closer look, there is an issue with the physical counts of the 5mm widgets. The perpetual records are correct. This has been validated by your associate, Lily. Lastly, it looks like the perpetual inventory listing includes 750 units of SKU 267-1 that have been consigned.
Thanks,

#6 – Memo from Staff Accountant
To: JBU, Co. Audit File
From: Lily, Staff Auditor
Date: December 31, year 4
Subject: SKU 267-4 Widgets - 5mm
I met with the controller of JBU, Co. on December 31, year 4, to resolve discrepancies between the perpetual inventory listing for SKU 267-4 and the count sheets prepared during the inventory observation. I then visited the warehouse again with the controller to perform a recount of these items. I counted 4,102 units of SKU 267-4. I validated that the perpetual inventory listing for SKU 267-4 was correct and the initial count reflected on the inventory count sheet was incorrect.
