Unless specifically mentioned, assume that standard required audit procedures were completed. Your instructor will identify the requirements you are assigned to complete. Client Acceptance 1. Did KPVI's client-acceptance process follow the applicable standards and regulations? Evaluate the engagement letter in light of the decision in the 1136 Tenants' case (1136 Tenants' Corp. v. Max Rothenberg & Co., 36 A.D.2d 804, N.Y. App. Div. 1971). 2. Identify and discuss the pressures faced by Andy Card, the audit partner. How might those pressures affect the decision to accept the client and the performance of the audit? 3.

How does the analysis change if you assume Ace was (a) a partner? (b) an associate? Planning Phase 4. At the team planning meeting in February 20X4, the audit team set overall audit risk at moderate and concluded that detailed testing of all significant balances was still necessary. Identify and evaluate the factors relevant to these decisions. Explain why you agree or disagree with the decisions made.
