Given the time pressure on the audit completion tests performed will be using a combined approach.
Analytical procedures will be used to determine if controls are effective and can be relied upon in the
audit. If controls can be relied upon this would reduce the substantive testing required and reduce
overall audit time to meet needs of the client. Some tests/procedures to be performed given the current
information are:
Obtain confirmation of accounts/assets relating to the debt covenant for the bank which is the
current ratio. This would include current assets and current liabilities. To verify these balances
the audit should:
o Examine purchase orders and confirm physical existence of inventories.
o Confirm balance of AR through confirmations.
o Verify balance of loans through confirmations to bank.
Important for timely statements for bank and major suppliers. Pressure to maintain current ratio.

assumptions exist:

Razor has no cash under current assets in its statement of financial position for 2020 or 2021.
This would make it extremely difficult for Razor to repair its debts. The loan from the bank
stipulates that three quatres of Razor falling below the 1:1 current ratio would allow the bank to
immediately demand the loans be repaid.
Razor’s largest customer has short paid invoices leaving $225,000 still uncollected after 180 days.
Other customer of Razor now producing steel in house with no indication of orders from Razor in
the future. Likely impact on future revenues and health of company.
Mandatory repayment of 500k loan from parent company within 6months that Razor may be
unable to afford to lack of cashflow. Another 1.5m is also due to repaid to parent company in
next few years which will also hurt company cashflow and ability to pay other debts from bank.
Parent company has indicated that no more financial support will be provided which means
Razor’s only source of funding is likely from the bank with debt covenants.
Razor is close to falling below its required current ratio of 1:1 since it currently sits at 1.014 as
shown in exhibit 1. This increases the risk of Razor violating the debt covenant and being forced
to repay the loans. Razor also in the last fiscal year violated the current ratio covenant in two
quatres, requiring it to get approval for 180 days for capital purchases from the lender.
In response to the listed indicators above the following procedures should be followed:
Obtain support about future assumptions for profits by management. This should include the
market information used to make the projections for profits. As well as any confirmations of
contracts which pertain to future sales that could impact predicted revenue.
Review the minutes from any board of directors meetings.
Send confirmation to creditors to confirm the balance of any outstanding liabilities. This would
primarily be concerning the bank for Razor which holds the agreement with the current ratio
covenant.
If Razor proves to not be a going concern its balances should be stated at liquidation values. If materiality
uncertainty exists for going concern, it should be disclosed in the notes to FS with the material
uncertainty related to going concern paragraph in the audit report.
