Assumptions: There are a few assumptions as auditors that we would have to make when preparing Super Duper Electronics, Inc. cash flow statement. One assumption that we would make is the other assets account. As auditors, we would find out more about this account and we assume that the company’s other assets account does not consist of any property, plant, and equipment. We need to ask the client about what kind of assets are in this account, because different kinds of assets are either considered assets for operating, investing, or financing activities. As auditors, we assume that other assets are for the company’s operational activities. Another assumption that we would make is unearned revenue* (current estimate of warranty liability). Since the company is currently involved in selling warranties, we ended up placing the unearned revenue* account in the operational activities of the company’s cash flow statement. We included convertible subordinate debentures in the financing activities of the cash flow statement section, because convertible subordinate debentures are exchangeable debt that allows debt to be exchanged for equity of the company. The advantage for convertible subordinate debentures for the company is that if convertible debt changes to equity, the debt vanishes. As equity increases, the client’s earnings per share dilutes.
            There are a few red flags in the company’s unaudited cash flow statement that we need to take into account. One is the increase in accounts receivable (net). This was a red flag, because over the past two years, the client was experiencing a downward trend in accounts receivable (net). In 2011, this account had an increase (from $2,246 to $10,846). Also, there was a dramatic increase for 2010 to 2011 in the inventory account (from $59,864 to $109,072). By examining these figures in the financial reports, we can see that there was a big fluctuation in the inventory account. Lastly, accrued expenses had a sudden change in trend from increasing expenses to decreasing expenses. Errors in these accounts could have occurred from an employee accidentally typing in the wrong numbers in the computer or the company may have experienced software issues.
