PART B

1. You have recently been appointed external auditor of the entity. You are assisting your Audit Manager in planning for the audit of the entity's financial statements.

2. You are required to download the annual report published by the following entity:
- Pacific Star Network Network Limited (https://www.pacificstarnetwork.com.au/)

3. Using information from chapters 3 and 4 of the textbook, prepare a document for your Audit Manager. Your document must include key information set out below.

4. You have accepted and communicated your decision to the client in the engagement letter. The audit fee is $65,000.

Required

With reference to Chapters 3 and 4 of the textbook, prepare a document for your Audit Manager. Your document must include the followings:
1. Executive summary
2. Introduction
3. Key information:
    a) Gain an understanding the client
    b) Identify five (5) significant accounts most at risk of being materially misstated
    c) Set planning materiality
    d) Assess what can go wrong (audit risk assessment) for each of the five (5) accounts selected in (b)
4. Conclusion
5. Appendix
6. References

Hints and Tips

1. You are required to plan the audit using only information that is publicly available. That is, you only use the information that is published by the entity either on its website or printed materials.

2. You must download and use the pro-forma document on VU Collaborate.

3. In identifying significant accounts, you are advised to use analytical procedure
- simple comparison to identify five (5) accounts most at risk of being materially misstated.

4. When making preliminary judgements about materiality levels and developing preliminary audit strategies for significant assertions, you are required to consider the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and the notes.

5. To calculate materiality level for this audit assignment, you are advised to calculate 1% of the total revenue account balance, i.e. 1% of total operating revenue of $20.86 million = $20.86 million x 0.01 = $208,860.

6. In considering what can go wrong for each of the five (5) accounts selected, you must assess the audit risk for each of those accounts using the audit risk model.

7. Quoting directly from textbooks and reports will increase the similarity index. Quoting without proper referencing will also increase the similarity index. As this assignment requires you to use auditing theory to prepare a document for a real-life organisation, quoting from textbook does NOT meet the requirements. Students are advised to prepare their own document.

8. VU Collaborate has the facility to report on whether your assignment is copied from other sources. Penalty of four (4) marks may apply for poor presentation. Serious breaches will be reported to the disciplinary panel.

9. Submit your assignment early. A penalty of two (2) marks per day applies to late submission.

10. If you want to remove the previous version of the assignment on VU Collaborate, submit a blank assignment or a new version.
