GROUP PRESENTATION QUESTION

You are the partner in charge of the audit division in your accountancy firm AAA Accountants. In January 2019 you were engaged by Oz Rock Constructions Ltd (ORC) to provide an audit report to be used solely for the purposes of loan negotiation with East Bank of Australia Ltd (East Bank). Whilst auditing ORC's company records of its shareholdings you noticed shares held by a "Mrs Smith". The address of that shareholder is the same address of the Senior Partner in your accountancy firm and Miss Smith is the wife of that Senior Partner. East Bank reviewed the audited financial statements and refused to lend further funds to ORC. ORC then went to Easy Money Bank Pty Ltd (Easy Money) and obtained a $10 million loan from Easy Money. Six months later ORC went into receivership and defaulted on its loan. Easy Money discovered ORC's inventory accounts were significantly overstated. Easy Money have commenced legal action against your firm which you are seeking to defend.

Discuss whether AAA Accountants can defend the legal action by Easy Money. In your brief to your lawyers advise of what actions you took and all necessary steps to ensure there was compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the general law. Make assumptions of fact where necessary. What would be your strongest defence against Easy Money?

You are required to provide advice to the audit supervisor and to take any and all necessary steps to ensure there is compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the general law.

I am quite confused about this problem and I need you help me to answer this question. This writing must be apply HIRAC method, and you will need to do 3 HIRACs: 1. for the Esanda case issue 2. for the auditor negligence issue (the inventory) 3. for auditor independence issue. But you just need to the last issue and i think it is less than 500 words. So you will write for me all 3 ideas, right? Because this assignment should not exceed 2 pages and it does not need a lot of words. This is the same with my assignment, but different topic and it just has 2 HIRACs. You could follow the structure like this.
