Question:

Burt & Cameron, a Halifax accounting firm, has just taken on the audit of NorthJet, a small airline providing private charter service that began operations in 2009. The airline is owned by Wilson and Doug Joyce. The previous auditor has resigned because of poor health. You are an audit senior with Burt & Cameron and have been asked to work on the audit. Northgate uses rented facilities at Halifax International airport. It has purchased three of its airplanes and is leasing six other planes. It employs six pilots full time and has a database of pilots that can be called if additional flights are required at any given time. Northgate has done well since it began operations, but Burt and Cameron are concerned about the profit for the first six months of this year. In addition, two of NorthJet’s planes have been grounded because of faulty electrical connections. The warranty has expired on these planes. You held an audit planning meeting with Dan Wilson, Doug Joyce, and Kyle Burt, the partner. You were provided with the interim financial statements for the first six months of the current year along with the prior year audited statements (Appendix 1). Your notes for the meeting are in appendix 2.A junior accountant from your office has done work on the accounts receivables and property plant and equipment. The work done is documented in Appendix 3.

Evaluate the audit work done by the audit junior on the accounts receivable and property plant and equipment and outline additional procedures that should be performed by the audit team on future work in this area. Clearly identify why more procedures are needed. Make use of headings, sub-headings and bullets points for these.
