Delco Enterprises is a publicly traded company that was founded in 1962 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as a manufacturer of children’s toys. The company has experienced steady growth and profitability for more than 20 years. For the past eight years, Delco’s financial statements have been audited by KSRP, LLP, a mid-sized public accounting firm headquartered in Detroit. KSRP has enjoyed its relationship with Delco because of the honest and up-front nature of the company’s top management team. KSRP’s audits of Delco have always gone smoothly, and they have never had any significant disagreements with the client. During the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20X1, KSRP was informed by management that Delco had been named in a class-action lawsuit involving alleged safety issues with one of its popular toys. The suit claims that some young children have choked on small parts that have broken off of the toy and that the parts had broken due to low-quality materials being used to manufacture the toy. Although the lawsuit was filed in November 20X1, the company had no clear indication at that time of the likelihood that it would be held liable for these claims. Delco performed in-house testing of the product to determine whether the case had any merit. Delco feels the raw materials used in the production of the toy are high in quality, and thus its management believes the company will most likely prevail in its defense. Delco has disclosed what little information it has received about the case in the footnotes of the financial statements. On February 5, 20X2, KSRP completed its audit fieldwork and obtained a representation letter from management, which included very little new information regarding the lawsuit. The audit report was dated February 5, 20X2. Based on all available information from attorneys involved in the case, both Delco and KSRP concluded at that time that the probability of a loss due to the lawsuit was remote. Delco planned to issue its financial statements on February 14, 20X2. On February 12, 20X2, new information was provided to KSRP regarding the lawsuit, which suggested the likelihood that Delco would be held liable for damages suffered by those injured by the toy parts was “probable.” Although no firm dollar amount was provided, it is clear that damages would be at least $10 million and would not likely exceed $20 million.
