3.2 Your firm was appointed as auditor to Indigo Co, an iron and steel corporation, in September 2005. You are themanager in charge of the audit of the financial statements of Indigo, for the year ending 31 December 2005.Indigo owns office buildings, a workshop and a substantial stockyard on land that was leased in 1995 for 25 years.Day-to-day operations are managed by the chief accountant, purchasing manager and workshop supervisor whoreport to the managing director.All iron, steel and other metals are purchased for cash at ‘scrap’ prices determined by the purchasing manager. Scrapmetal is mostly high volume. A weighbridge at the entrance to the stockyard weighs trucks and vans before and afterthe scrap metals that they carry are unloaded into the stockyard.Two furnaces in the workshop melt down the salvageable scrap metal into blocks the size of small bricks that are thenstored in the workshop. These are sold on both credit and cash terms. The furnaces are now 10 years old and havean estimated useful life of a further 15 years. However, the furnace linings are replaced every four years. An annualprovision is made for 25% of the estimated cost of the next relining. A by-product of the operation of the furnaces isthe production of ‘clinker’. Most of this is sold, for cash, for road surfacing but some is illegally dumped.Indigo’s operations are subsidised by the local authority as their existence encourages recycling and means that thereis less dumping of metal items. Indigo receives a subsidy calculated at 15% of the market value of metals purchased,as declared in a quarterly return. The return for the quarter to 31 December 2005 is due to be submitted on21 January 2006.Indigo maintains manual inventory records by metal and estimated quality. Indigo counted inventory at 30 November2005 with the intention of ‘rolling-forward’ the purchasing manager’s valuation as at that date to the year-endquantities per the manual records. However, you were not aware of this until you visited Indigo yesterday to planyour year-end procedures.During yesterday’s tour of Indigo’s premises you saw that:(i) sheets of aluminium were strewn across fields adjacent to the stockyard after a storm blew them away;(ii) much of the vast quantity of iron piled up in the stockyard is rusty;(iii) piles of copper and brass, that can be distinguished with a simple acid test, have been mixed up.The count sheets show that metal quantities have increased, on average, by a third since last year; the quantity ofaluminium, however, is shown to be three times more. There is no suitably qualified metallurgical expert to valueinventory in the region in which Indigo operates.The chief accountant disappeared on 1 December, taking the cash book and cash from three days’ sales with him.The cash book was last posted to the general ledger as at 31 October 2005. The managing director has made anallegation of fraud against the chief accountant to the police.The auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2004 was unmodified.Required:(a) Describe the principal audit procedures to be carried out on the opening balances of the financial statementsof Indigo Co for the year ending 31 December 2005.

4.4 Ryder, a public limited company, is reviewing certain events which have occurred since its year end of 31 October2005. The financial statements were authorised on 12 December 2005. The following events are relevant to thefinancial statements for the year ended 31 October 2005:(i) Ryder has a good record of ordinary dividend payments and has adopted a recent strategy of increasing itsdividend per share annually. For the last three years the dividend per share has increased by 5% per annum.On 20 November 2005, the board of directors proposed a dividend of 10c per share for the year ended31 October 2005. The shareholders are expected to approve it at a meeting on 10 January 2006, and adividend amount of $20 million will be paid on 20 February 2006 having been provided for in the financialstatements at 31 October 2005. The directors feel that a provision should be made because a ‘valid expectation’has been created through the company’s dividend record. (3 marks)(ii) Ryder disposed of a wholly owned subsidiary, Krup, a public limited company, on 10 December 2005 and madea loss of $9 million on the transaction in the group financial statements. As at 31 October 2005, Ryder had nointention of selling the subsidiary which was material to the group. The directors of Ryder have stated that therewere no significant events which have occurred since 31 October 2005 which could have resulted in a reductionin the value of Krup. The carrying value of the net assets and purchased goodwill of Krup at 31 October 2005were $20 million and $12 million respectively. Krup had made a loss of $2 million in the period 1 November2005 to 10 December 2005. (5 marks)(iii) Ryder acquired a wholly owned subsidiary, Metalic, a public limited company, on 21 January 2004. Theconsideration payable in respect of the acquisition of Metalic was 2 million ordinary shares of $1 of Ryder plusa further 300,000 ordinary shares if the profit of Metalic exceeded $6 million for the year ended 31 October2005. The profit for the year of Metalic was $7 million and the ordinary shares were issued on 12 November2005. The annual profits of Metalic had averaged $7 million over the last few years and, therefore, Ryder hadincluded an estimate of the contingent consideration in the cost of the acquisition at 21 January 2004. The fairvalue used for the ordinary shares of Ryder at this date including the contingent consideration was $10 per share.The fair value of the ordinary shares on 12 November 2005 was $11 per share. Ryder also made a one for fourbonus issue on 13 November 2005 which was applicable to the contingent shares issued. The directors areunsure of the impact of the above on earnings per share and the accounting for the acquisition. (7 marks)(iv) The company acquired a property on 1 November 2004 which it intended to sell. The property was obtainedas a result of a default on a loan agreement by a third party and was valued at $20 million on that date foraccounting purposes which exactly offset the defaulted loan. The property is in a state of disrepair and Ryderintends to complete the repairs before it sells the property. The repairs were completed on 30 November 2005.The property was sold after costs for $27 million on 9 December 2005. The property was classified as ‘held forsale’ at the year end under IFRS5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ but shown atthe net sale proceeds of $27 million. Property is depreciated at 5% per annum on the straight-line basis and nodepreciation has been charged in the year. (5 marks)(v) The company granted share appreciation rights (SARs) to its employees on 1 November 2003 based on tenmillion shares. The SARs provide employees at the date the rights are exercised with the right to receive cashequal to the appreciation in the company’s share price since the grant date. The rights vested on 31 October2005 and payment was made on schedule on 1 December 2005. The fair value of the SARs per share at31 October 2004 was $6, at 31 October 2005 was $8 and at 1 December 2005 was $9. The company hasrecognised a liability for the SARs as at 31 October 2004 based upon IFRS2 ‘Share-based Payment’ but theliability was stated at the same amount at 31 October 2005. (5 marks)Required:Discuss the accounting treatment of the above events in the financial statements of the Ryder Group for the yearended 31 October 2005, taking into account the implications of events occurring after the balance sheet date.(The mark allocations are set out after each paragraph above.)(25 marks)
