ACCT 305 Apollo Shoes 7e Solution_Revenues & Expenses. Teaching Notes The audit plan for revenues, expenses, stockholder’s equity and final general audit procedures are included here. Rev... enues: Task: Apollo Page • Prepare a memo explaining that revenue was confirmed in the AR testing. 134 • Use analytical procedures to test returns and warranties 134 Expenses: Task: Apollo Page • Reference those expense accounts that have been tested to the appropriate workpapers. 134 • Use analytical procedures to test expense accounts that should be comparable to the previous year. 134 • For the remaining expenses document reasons for any fluctuations. 134 Points to Remember: Revenues: • Our testing of revenues is limited due to the nature of the Apollo simulation. We will assume through the testing of accounts receivable (including confirmation of 2017 sales), our review of revenue internal controls, and overall analytic procedures, that revenues are fairly stated (except for the Mall-Warts sale). • At the end, Apollo will not post the sales and accounts receivable adjustments we recommend from Mall-Warts filing bankruptcy. Note that this comes after we have completed the audit, so several of our estimates and workpapers will have the Mall-Wart sale and accounts receivable proposed adjustments included. Students will not be asked to go back and change the workpapers, estimates, etc.   Expenses: • As noted above income taxes are based on reversing the Mall-Wart sale.
