CHAPTER

10 SUBSTANTIVE TESTS OF
INVESTMENTS

10-1. The CPAs would accept a confirmation of the securities on hand from the
custodian in lieu of their personal inspection of the securities after they had
investigated and satisfied themselves as to the standing of the custodian. The
CPAs would probably be satisfied if they found the custodian to be a well-known,
reliable financial institution, completely independent of the client and with
resources substantially larger in amount than the securities of the CPAs’ client that
are on deposit.
10-2. The auditors can make an independent computations of dividends earned during
the year by reference to dividend record books published by investment advisory
services.
10-3. Securities owned by the client may not be on hand at the balance sheet date
because they are held by others for safekeeping, pledged as collateral for loans,
deposited as assurance of performance under contracts, or in the hands of brokers
or others for transfer.
10-4. When the inspection of securities cannot be made for two weeks after the balance
sheet date, the client at the auditors’ suggestion may instruct the bank that the safe
deposit box is not to be opened until the time of the auditors’ inspection. A letter
may be obtained from the bank stating that the box has not been opened between
the balance sheet date and the auditors’ arrival. If the securities are in the client’s
office, it will be necessary to verify any security transactions between the date of
inspection and the balance sheet date and to reconcile the results of the inspection
with the securities owned at the balance sheet date. The count of cash and other
negotiable assets should be coordinated with the inspection of securities.

10-5. Pink Corporation

(a) Instructions to be given to the assistant regarding the examination of the

securities kept in the safe deposit box include the following:
(1) A copy of the client’s record of the contents of the box should be
obtained and used in connection with the inspection of the securities.
Comparing the contents of the box and the record will provide assurance
that all securities listed in the record are on hand. (The validity of the
record will be determined by examination of the transactions pertaining
10-2 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition

to investments.) The copy of the record, after being verified, should be

added to the auditors’ working papers as evidence of work performed.
(2) The bank’s record of persons entering the deposit box should be
examined to determine that only authorized persons have had access to
the box and that there was no entry to the box between December 31 and
January 11. Entry to the box between those dates may be an indication
that a security was returned to safekeeping after being “borrowed” at
year-end. The security may have been “borrowed” and used as collateral
to obtain cash to cover a shortage at December 31.
(3) The assistant should be instructed to insist that the treasurer be present
while the securities are being examined. Most auditors prefer to obtain a
signed statement that all investments inspected were returned at the
completion of the inspection made in the presence of the custodian. In
any event, the working papers should note the date of the inspection and
the name of the witness to the inspection.
(4) The following details of the securities should be examined:
a) The name of the registered owner appearing on each security other
than bearer bonds should be noted to determine that Pink
Corporation is a registered owner and that securities belonging to
another owner have not been substituted.
b) The name of the corporation issuing the security and the class of the
security (Class A, Par Value, 1st Preference, etc.) should be noted
for assurance that a lower priced security (perhaps somewhat similar
in corporate name or a different security of the issuing corporation)
has not been substituted for a higher priced security.
c) The face value of bonds and the number of shares represented by
each share certificate should be compared with the client record to
determine that the entire amount of the corporation’s holdings of
each security is on hand.
d) The serial numbers of the securities should be compared with those
on the record and, for those securities carried over from the prior
year, compared with the serial numbers of securities listed in the
prior year’s working papers. A change in serial numbers that cannot
be properly explained may be an indication of manipulation of the
securities. Verification of serial numbers also helps establish the
cost of securities sold under either the FIFO or specific identification
cost method.
e) The certificates should be read to ascertain the interest rates and
payment dates for bonds and the dividend rates and payment dates, if
given, for preference shares. This information may be used later in
the verification of investment revenue.
f) Bonds should be examined to determine maturity dates. Maturity
dates are needed for verifying the computation of the amortization of
bond premiums or discounts. In addition, the maturity dates will
disclose whether any bonds on hand have matured. The presence of
 Substantive Tests of Investments 10-3
matured bonds may be a sign of internal control weakness or may
indicate that the bonds are in default.
g) Coupon bonds should be inspected to determine that no past-due
interest coupons are unclipped and all future interest coupons are
attached. The presence of past-due coupons may be caused by poor
internal control and may indicate an understatement of interest
revenue. On the other hand, past-due coupons may indicate the
interest is in default and that the principal is uncollectible. Missing
future interest coupons may be an indication of an irregularity.
h) The auditors should be alert for any obvious alterations to securities
or forged certificates. Although auditors usually are not held
responsible for the genuineness of the certificates, any apparent
forgeries (or exceptions noted in the foregoing audit procedures)
may point out the need for obtaining confirmations from the
corporations issuing the certificates.
(b) The treasurer’s entry into the safe deposit box on January 4 has violated
the auditors’ control over negotiable assets which must be inspected or
counted simultaneously or kept under control until counted to avoid the
substitution of a counted asset for an uncounted asset in an attempt to
conceal a shortage. The auditors would probably apply the following
additional procedures:
(1) Reconcile bank balances at both year-end and at the date of
inspecting securities.
(2) Obtain a bank confirmation as of the inspection date.
(3) Examine cash journals between year-end and the inspection date for
any unusual entries.
(4) Examine all investment transactions taking place between the
balance sheet date and the inspection date to verify the amount of the
investment at the balance sheet date.
(5) If the client keeps a large fund of cash on hand, make a surprise
count of the cash fund.
(6) Review the transactions since year-end relating to any other
negotiable assets, such as notes receivable, to determine if any
substitutions have been made.

10-6. (a) (4) Having the securities held in safekeeping by a bank provides strong
internal control because the bank has no direct contact with the
employees responsible for maintaining the accounting record of the
securities and that individual has no access to the securities. Thus the
separation of the custody of securities from the accounting function is
complete.
(b) (1) The investment committee of the board of directors is not involved in the
routine of making buy and sell decisions and can therefore review the
transactions objectively. On the other hand, the chief operating officer,
the controller, and the treasurer may be closely associated on a daily
10-4 Solutions Manual to Accompany Applied Auditing, 2006 Edition

basis with the financial executive responsible for the investment

decisions.

a. The auditing objectives and procedures relative to the Laribee Investment

account are as follows:
(1) Objective: Ascertain that the shares exist and are owned by Belle.
Procedures: Examine the shares for existence and ownership.
(2) Objective: Establish correctness of beginning balance in investment
account.
Procedures: Examine last year’s audit work papers.
(3) Objective: Determine proper approval of the 2006 purchase.
Procedures: Examine directors’ minutes authorizing the transaction.
(4) Objective: Establish the cost of shares purchased in 2006.
Procedures: Examine brokers’ advice and canceled check.
(5) Objective: Determine that the proper amount of dividends were
received, properly recorded as a decrease in the investment carrying
value, and deposited in the bank.
Procedures: Refer to a dividend reporter (e.g., Standard and Poors),
recalculate Belle’s share of the dividend, trace to remittance advice and
bank statement, and examine journal entry for proper recording.
(6) Objective: Ascertain in that Belle has properly recorded its shares of
Laribee income as an increase in the investment account.
Procedures: Examine Laribee’s income statement and Belle’s journal
entry, if any, to record its share of the income.

b. If this investment is significant in relation to Belle’s total assets, and/or its

share of Laribee income is significant relative to Belle’s total income, Flores
must insist that the financial statements of Laribee be audited, either by
Castro & Horario, or by other independent CPAs.

d. Flores should be aware of the possible existence of related party transactions

between Belle and Laribee. In this regard, she should be particularly alert to
possible disparities between the legal form of transactions and their economic
substance. For example, Belle manufactures earth moving equipment and
Laribee is a leasing company. Significant sale and leaseback transactions
may have occurred given the nature and relationship of the respective
companies. If these transactions did take place, Flores must ascertain that any
gains on sale of equipment have been deferred. Also, given the equity
method of accounting, Flores must determine that any intercompany profits
resulting from transactions between Belle and Laribee have been eliminated.

Finally, cases abound in which parent companies have “manufactured”

earnings by fabricating or misrepresenting transactions with subsidiaries. For
this reason, Flores must be alert to this possibility, and should carefully audit
all significant transactions between the two companies.

10-16. Del Corporation

Requirement (1)
Assuming “other income” is zero, then the entire P74 million for 2006 and the
P127 million for 2005 are equity in the income of affiliated companies:

2006 2005
Equity in income of affiliated companies...................................... P 74 P127
Less: Undistributed equity in income of affiliated companies...... 27 84
Maximum amount of dividends that could be received................. P 47 P 43
 Substantive Tests of Investments 10-19
If dividends were zero, then all of the equity in income of affiliated companies
would be retained. Since the amount actually retained was P27 million, the
amount of other income is P74 million less P27 million, or P47 million.

Requirement (2)
Investment at December 31, 2006........................................... P1,456
Investment at December 31, 2005........................................... 1,332
Increase in investment in equity.............................................. P 124
Amount of increase resulting from undistributed equity
in income of affiliated companies.................................... 27
Amount of increase (decrease) in investment from other
sources P 97

It appears Del either increased its equity holdings in its affiliated companies, or
made “advances” which had been recorded in the Investments account.

Requirement (3)
Rate of return on average investment in equity-basis companies = P74 / ([P1,332
+ P1,456] / 2) = 0.053%

Requirement (4)
If the investment at equity represents a 50% owned joint venture with no goodwill
or adjustment for book value to fair value of net assets, the total shareholders’
equity (TSE) can be approximated as:
Investment in Affiliate, at equity = 50% x TSE of Affiliate Joint Venture
TSE of Affiliate = P1,456 / 0.50 = P2,912 million.

Knowing the percentage owned allows estimates of the net assets of the equity-
basis companies to be made, assuming there are no adjustments or goodwill
involved.
