Question 5

Magi Chen is the managing director of Sun Construction Pty Ltd, a family owned business that provides construction services. As Magi is interested in purchasing some new construction equipment’s for her business, she has approached her local bank for finance. The bank has asked that Magi provide an audited financial statement to assist them in considering her loan application. Magi has approached your audit firm for this service and you have been allocated the task of auditing Sun Construction for the year ended 30 June 2019. You have undertaken a preliminary review of the business and determined that a substantive testing approach would be suitable and appropriate. You are currently preparing an audit program for the revenue cycle. The following information has been obtained from your review:

• Magi usually works 120 hours a fortnight. Part of this time is spent travelling between different clients and is not charged to the clients. The remaining time is charged at $60 per hour, regardless of the task undertaken.

• Customers typically pay Magi in cash for the work undertaken, except for a small number of regular small-business customers. Magi allows these customers to pay on account by bank transfer on a monthly basis.

• Magi supplies each cash customer with a written receipt, prepared manually from a receipt book purchased at the local news-agency. The book contains pre-numbered blank receipts, which are completed in duplicate.
