An audit working paper may be prepared to correct several misstatements in the
financial statements. An example of a format of a working paper is presented below
(The year under audit is 2018):
To illustrate the use of the working paper, assume that the following errors were
discovered when auditing the financial statements for the year 2018.
A. The company failed to accrue wages of 80,000 at December 31, 2017. The
wages were recorded as expense when paid in 2018.
B. Accrued interest income of 48,000 at December 31, 2017 was recorded only
when collected in 2018.
C. An insurance premium for 36,000 covering three years - 2017, 2018 and 2018
was paid in 2017 and was charged to insurance expense. No adjustment were made
at December 31, 2017 and 2018.
D. Research and development costs of 120,000 were incurred early in 2016. They
were erroneously capitalized and were amortized over a three-year period.
Amortization was recorded by a charge to Research and Development Expense and
a credit to Accumulated Amortization account. At December 31, 2018, both the
asset account and the related accumulated amortization were brought to zero
balances.
E. A capital expenditure of 1,500,000 for office equipment with useful life of 5 years
was erroneously charged to maintenance expense at December 31, 2017.
Required:
Analyze the effects of such errors and their corrections then make the necessary
adjusting entries to restate the 2018 financial statements. Make a working paper to
correct the several misstatements.
The first adjusting entry is done for you as well as for the Audit Working Paper.
