FINANCING CYCLE Audit
FINANCING CYCLE Audit
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
Discuss the controls over stockholders' equity transactions.
Describe the nature of the substantive audit procedures involved in the audit of stockholders'
equity.
T
he financing cycle includes transactions and events whereby cash is obtained from or repaid to
creditors (debt financing) or owners (equity financing). Financing activities would include, for
example, acquiring debt, capital leases, issuing bonds, or issuing preferred or common stock.
Financing activities would also include payments to retire debt, reacquiring stock (treasury
stock), and the payment of dividends.
The financing cycle interfaces with the expenditure cycle when cash is disbursed for bond interest, the
redemption of bonds, payment of cash dividends, and the purchase of treasury stock. The audit
objectives for the financing cycle are:
Balance Objectives
Existence. Recorded debt (EO4) and equity (EO5) exist at the balance sheet
date.
Completeness. All debt (C4) and equity (C5) is recorded at the balance sheet
date.
Rights and Obligations. All recorded debt balances are the obligations of the
entity (RO1), and equity balances represent owners claims on the reporting
entitys assets (RO2).
Valuation and Allocation. Debt (VA4), and equity (VA5) balances are properly
valued in accordance with GAAP.
Disclosure Objectives
Occurrence and Rights and Obligations. Debt (PD4) and equity (PD8)
disclosures have occurred and pertain to the entity.
Completeness. All debt (PD5) and equity (PD9) disclosures that should have
been included in the financial statements have been included.
Understandability. All debt (PD6) and equity (PD10) information is
appropriately presented and information in disclosures is understandable to users.
Accuracy and Valuation. Debt (PD7) and equity (PD 11) information is
disclosed accurately and at appropriate amounts.
T
here is considerable variation in the importance of long-term debt in financial statements. In
some companies with strong free cash flows, debt is immaterial. In other companies, such as
public utilities, long-term debt may be more than 50% of total equities. Stockholders equity is
clearly material to the balance sheet. The income statement effects and the effect of dividends
on the retained earnings statement is often material. Inherent risk for financing transactions is
generally moderate as transactions occur infrequently.
Control risk as also low as financing transactions receive considerable attention from senior
management and the board of directors that carefully monitor the acquisition and retirement of debt.
Because of the nature and materiality most types of long-term debt transactions, inherent risk is often
moderate to high for all related account balance assertions. Based on consideration of these factors
and any relevant control risk assessments, an appropriate level of detection risk is determined for each
significant assertion related to long-term debt balances. Many auditors follow a primarily substantive
approach to long-term debt because of the efficiency and effectiveness of using confirmations to audit
a small population size.
The substantive tests that apply to the existence or occurrence and valuation or allocation assertions
for long-term debt balances are.
EO VA
Verify accuracy of balances, schedules, and X
subsidiary ledgers (perform initial procedures)
Perform analytical procedures. X X
Vouch entries in long term debt and related X X
income statement accounts
Review authorizations and contracts X X
Confirm debt with lenders and bond trustees X X
Recalculate interest expense X
In vouching entries to long-term debt accounts, the direction of the substantive test is from recorded
entries to supporting documentation. This test pertains to the existence or occurrence, completeness,
rights and obligations, and valuation or allocation assertions.
In recalculating interest expense, the auditor re-performs the computations made by the client. This
test relates primarily to valuation or allocation.
Various value-added services that the auditor might offer to a client related to the investing and
financing cycles include:
Benchmarking the return generated by investing activities against competitors.
Independent review of strategic plans for investing activities.
Explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of bank financing, mortgage financing, lease
financing, financing that may be available from insurance companies or other entities, or various
classes of preferred stock.
Many investments are accomplished through merger or acquisition. A CPA firm may provide
expertise in guiding a company through a merger or acquisition. This service would include
identifying possible acquisitions candidates, helping an entity evaluate the potential benefits and
risks associated with an acquisitions, as well as how to structure the acquisition.

Audit notes:
a. You have rendered a purchases cut-off to ascertain the completeness of the
companys accounts payable balance. The following is the summary of the entries 10
days before and after the balance sheet date and your audit observations:
Purchases Journal Entries: Dec. 20 Dec. 31, 2012:
b. The company started its 2-year warranty program for merchandise sold starting
2011. The company estimates that it will incur P350 in part and labor for repairing each
70% of the units sold shall be returned for repairs and that 40% of the warranty costs
shall be incurred in the year of sale with 60% to be incurred in the year following the
year of sale. The following information is deemed relevant for your audit:
2011
Number of units sold 1,250
Actual warranty costs 153,000
The balance of the warranties payable is the accrued warranty cost at the end of 2011.
Actual warranty costs were charged to current year warranty expense. Adjusting entry
at the end of 2012 is yet to be made.
c. Salaries payable reflects the probable unused sick leaves and vacation leaves in
2011 and prior to 2011 carried over 2012. No entry had been made during the current
year affecting the salaries payable account. Employees are allowed to carry over
unused leaves over 2 years from year of grant, thereafter, it shall expire. Salary rates
increased for the current year by 10%. An analysis of the cumulative unused sick leaves
and vacation leaves are as follows:
Prior to 2011 leaves carried over to 2012 270 days
2011 leaves carried over to 2012 625 days
Prior to 2012 leaves used in 2012* 700 days

liability by issuing another long-term debt security to the same bank due on June 30,
2016. The proceeds of the loan to be made, as per agreement shall not exceed 80% of
the fair market value of the property to be attached to the loan as a collateral. As of the
balance sheet date, the said property has a fair value of P2,000,000 and is not
expected to materially change until the refinancing transaction is completed.
e. The Board of Directors approved through a resolution, additional incentive to key
officers in the form of a bonus which shall be at 10% of the adjusted net income after
30% income tax and after bonus. The net income of the company before any
adjustments were made is at P2,032,700.

Accounts payable P540,000
Premiums payable 140,000
Deferred taxes (42,000)
10% Bonds 5,500,000
Payable Audit notes:
a. Accounts payable is net of P50,000
credit balance In one of the companys suppliers accounts due to an overpayment
made. The agreement with the supplier simply calls for the supplier to deliver
additional merchandise to Adelaida Inc. to offset the overpayment. No deliveries
were made as of the balance sheet date.
b. The company started a promotional program in 2011 where an eco-friendly tote bag
shall be given to customers upon presenting 6 product labels plus P5 cash. The
following information are deemed relevant in relation to the program:
2011 2012
Sales P7,200,000 P8,400,00
Total cost of the tote bags purchased (P25 per tote bag) 375,000 500,00
Tote bags actually distributed 9,000 19,00
Estimated tote bags to be distributed the following year 7,000 5,00
The balance of the premiums liability account, reflects the accrual at the end of the
previous year (2011), no entry had been made during the current year affecting the
said account.
c. Deferred tax balance appearing above is the result of the deferred tax created by
the premiums liability n the previous year which is tax deductible upon settlement.
Adjustments are yet to be made to the said account to reflect the movement in the
account balance during the year. However, another temporary difference arising

depreciation for the period amounted to P150,000. The income tax rate is at 30%.
d. The balance of the bonds payable account was the total proceeds from its issuance
on January 1, 2012. The bonds which shall mature on December 31, 2016 have a
total face value of P5,000,000 and are convertible into ordinary shares at the rate of
P1,000 bond to 10, P50 par value ordinary shares. On the issuance date the
effective yield rate on similar securities without the convertibility option was at 8%
while each ordinary shares were selling at P75 per share. The only other entry made
by the client in relation to the bonds was the payment of interest on December 31,
as interest are payable annually every December 31.
Required:
1. What is the correct premiums expense for 2012?
2. What is the total deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2012?

share premium as a result of the conversion?
6. Assuming that the bonds were retired on January 2, 2014 at 105, when the prevailing
market rate of interest for similar securities without conversion option is at 12%, how
much should be reported in the profit or loss as a result of the retirement?
FINANCING CYCLE
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
Discuss the controls over stockholders' equity transactions.
Describe the nature of the substantive audit procedures involved in the audit of stockholders'
equity.
O
ne of the major sources of funds is the issuance of shares of stocks. Thus, the audit of SHE
typically involved substantial reliance on substantive tests of transactions and balances. It
consists primarily of substantive tests. The auditor's concerns are those controls that relate to
authorization, recordkeeping, and custody of stock certificates. The auditor's knowledge of
the system is documented through internal control questionnaires to highlight any control deficiencies
and narratives to document procedures.
AUTHORIZATION
Transactions must require specific authorization by entity's BOD and in some cases, the stockholders.
The
BOD determines the type, amount and number of shares to be issued and the issue date. BODs
determine the type of dividends to be declared, the amount per share, and the record and payment
dates.
The BOD should designate an officer (corporate secretary) who will have custody of the SCB. This is to
avoid using blank certificates for collateral to obtain loans or sell and misappropriate the proceeds.
Most companies keep detailed records of their stockholders (stockholder ledger) that indicates the
number of shares by stockholder. Another detailed record is the stock and transfer book, where the
names of holders, installment paid and unpaid, dtae of payment and transfers of stocks are entered
and require and constant update and periodically reconciled with the stock certificate book.
Inherent risk for stockholders' equity balances should be low. However, the acceptable level of
detection risk for the existence or occurrence and completeness assertions for capital stock are likely to
be high when the company uses a registrar and transfer agent. For the other assertions, detection risk
may be moderate. Again, many auditors follow a primarily substantive approach to auditing
shareholders equity because of the efficiency and effectiveness of using confirmations (registrar or
transfer agent) to audit a small population size.
The substantive tests that apply to the existence or occurrence and completeness assertions for
stockholders' equity balances are

CASE 3
TAGOGO COMPANY has been paying regular quarterly dividends of P1.50 and wants to pay the
same amount in the third quarter of 2013. The following information relates to the companys
equity:
1. What is the total amount that Tagogo will have to pay in dividends in the third quarter
in order to pay P2 per share?
2. What is the total amount of dividends to be distributed during the year assuming no
equity transactions occur after June 30?
Problem No. 8
At the beginning of 2013, an entity grants 50 share options each to 500 employees. The grant
is conditional upon the employees remaining in the entitys employ during a vesting period of
three years.
The exercise price at grant date is estimated at P60. However, the exercise price drops to P10
if the entitys earnings increase by at least an average of 10% per year over the three-year
period.
On grant date, the entity estimates that the fair value of the share options, with an exercise
price of P40, is P20 per option. If the exercise price is P60, the entity estimates that the share
options have a fair value of P18 per option.
2013
30 employees have left. The entity proceeds expects, on the basis of a weighted
average probability that a further 30 employees will leave during 2014 and 2015,
respectively.
The entitys earnings increased by 12% and the entity expects that earnings will
continue to increase at this rate over the next two years. The entity therefore expects
that the earnings target will be achieved, and hence, the share options will have an
exercise price of P40.
2014
At year end, a further 35 employees have resigned. The entity expects that a further 30
employees will leave during 2015.
The entitys earnings increased by 13%, and it continues to expect that the earnings
target will be achieved.
2015
A further 28 employees have left by the end of the year
Due to a general decrease in market demand, the entitys earnings increased by only
3%. Because the earnings target was not achieved, the 50 vested share options for
each employee have exercise price of P60
Additional notes:
The company reacquired 40,000 ordinary shares in 2011 at P40 per share. No other treasury share transactions except for
item d.
The equipment declared in c. as dividends had a fair value of P900,000 as of the date of declaration and a fair value of
P900,000 as of the date of declaration and a fair value of P1,000,000 on date of payment. The property dividends were
recorded as follows:
Declaration: Accumulated Profits 1,200,000
Dividends Payable 1,200,000
Payments: Dividends Payable 1,200,000
Equipment 1,200,000
The stock dividends distributed in e. was based on a 10% share dividend. On the date of declaration the total ordinary
shares issued was at 230,000 with 30,000 shares still in the treasury. The shares have a P25 par value. The market value
of shares on the date of declaration was at P42 per share.
The 10,000, P50 par value preference shares in f. converted into 25,000 ordinary shares were originally issued at P75 per
share.
