Writing Project

Project information:

The owner of ABC Co. has asked you to look into a possible issue with the company's travel expenses. They have provided you with this year and last year's financial statements and the detail for the travel expense account. You will be conducting some audit procedures for ABC Co. and analyzing the results.

The company has 4 sales managers that travel on a regular basis: Catherine Ames, Brody Callina, Doug Gartner, and UstisSoizuka. The company has issued each of these employees a company Mastercard to be used for business expenses when traveling.

This project is split into four parts with one part due each week of the course. Based on your readings, use of technology, research of literature, and other sources do the following:

• Part 1-Review the financial statements given to you by the owner of ABC Co.. Based on the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct prepare a 2-3 page summary of how you plan to proceed to address the owner's concerns and what specific steps you would take to audit this company.

• Part 2-Using the financial statement file and the data file for travel expenses perform some analytical tests.

You will need to perform some analytical test on the financial statements using Excel. This may be a horizontal and/or vertical analysis, ratios, etc.

You will then need to perform some analytical tests on the travel expense account files using IDEA that you think may be necessary. Remember there are tutorial videos on the IDEA website to assist you. Write a 1-2 sentence explanation for each analysis you are performing and print screen your results along with the history log when you have completed the analysis in IDEA to turn in this week.
