Assignment Question(s):
1. Ahad Abdullah is a staff accountant and has been assigned to the audit of
Worldwide Enterprises, Inc. Subsequent to the completion of fieldwork,
Ahad was assigned to draft the audit report. The content of one of the
paragraphs he has drafted reads as follows:
As explained in Note 2 to the financial statements, Worldwide Enterprises
has charged goodwill and certain other intangible assets acquired in two
separate acquisitions directly to shareholders’ equity. Under generally
accepted accounting principles, these intangibles should have been recorded
as assets and amortized to income over future periods. Had these intangibles
been capitalized, total assets would have increased by $400,000 as of
December 31, 2011 and net income and earnings per share would be
increased by $380,000 and $2.25, respectively (assuming a 20-year
amortization period)
.
a. Based on the contents of the paragraph above, which condition requiring
a departure from a standard unqualified/unmodified opinion exists in the
engagement?
b. Assuming that the engagement partner agrees with the paragraph Ahad
has prepared above, where in the auditor’s report should the paragraph be
placed?
c. How would the materiality of the condition above affect the final choice of
opinion?
