You are a senior auditor employed in a mid-tier accounting firm, working on the audit of Dream Rock Watches Ltd (DRW) for the year ended 30 June 2022. The audit partner has asked you to assist in the planning of the audit. You gather the following information about DRW. DRW is a manufacturer of fine watches, specializing in gold pocket watches and wristwatches made with precious stones. Diamond engraved gold pocket watches are the most popular sales items. While some of the precious stones are purchased from Australian suppliers, others are purchased from overseas suppliers. All stones are purchased in US dollars regardless of the suppliers location. Due to environmental concerns, some of the African governments are considering closing down the diamond mines in their countries. The company employs two watchmakers who design and manufacture all the watches sold by DRW. The two watchmakers are nearing retirement age. The younger generation is less interested in learning the watchmaker trade and there are few watchmakers with the current employees' skill base. DRW manufacture classic watches and do not follow the latest trends. DRW's experience is that their inventory does not become obsolete. DRW operates a retail store in the heart of Melbourne's shopping district and employs two full- time and four part-time sales staff. The part-time sales staff are university students. Staff are nervous as there have been a number of recent violent thefts on high-end stores throughout Melbourne. As a preventative measure against theft, the store is kept locked. Customers now need to knock on the glass door to be admitted into the store. The watches are kept in locked display cases. Each of the sales staff has a copy of the keys, and a spare copy is kept in the back storeroom. DRW usually has two security guards, but one security guard has left the company and has not been replaced. At night all watches are removed from the display cases and locked in the safe. The store has a security alarm direct to the police station which is switched on at night when the last employee leaves. DRW maintains a point of sale (POS) computer system and therefore uses the perpetual inventory recording method. Most sales are made by credit, but some customers choose to pay by cash. As there is no bank nearby, DRW staff deposit cash into bank once a week, usually on Thursday afternoon. In the past, the manager of the retail store has conducted regular monthly stocktakes of the jewelry. However, the manager has been on intermittent sick leave during the past year, so stocktakes have become less frequent. DRW tries to provide good facilities for its staff. It provides a staffroom with tea and coffee supplies and biscuits. When the company runs low on these supplies, the staff take cash from the DRW register and purchase more tea, coffee and biscuits from the small supermarket nearby. In the past, the company has been very profitable. However, over the last few years, as the influence of Covid pandemic and the fact that the cost of living has increased, people have been less inclined to buy expensive watches and sales and profitability have fallen. This year for the first time, the company has recorded a loss.

If there are indicators of going concern issue, identify any mitigating factors. You are a senior auditor employed in a mid-tier accounting firm, working on the audit of Dream Rock Watches Ltd (DRW) for the year ended 30 June 2022. The audit partner has asked you to assist in the planning of the audit. You gather the following information about DRW. DRW is a manufacturer of fine watches, specializing in gold pocket watches and wristwatches made with precious stones. Diamond engraved gold pocket watches are the most popular sales items. While some of the precious stones are purchased from Australian suppliers, others are purchased from overseas suppliers. All stones are purchased in US dollars regardless of the suppliers location. Due to environmental concerns, some of the African governments are considering closing down the diamond mines in their countries. The company employs two watchmakers who design and manufacture all the watches sold by DRW. The two watchmakers are nearing retirement age. The younger generation is less interested in learning the watchmaker trade and there are few watchmakers with the current employees' skill base. DRW manufacture classic watches and do not follow the latest trends. DRW's experience is that their inventory does not become obsolete. DRW operates a retail store in the heart of Melbourne's shopping district and employs two full- time and four part-time sales staff. The part-time sales staff are university students. Staff are nervous as there have been a number of recent violent thefts on high-end stores throughout Melbourne. As a preventative measure against theft, the store is kept locked. Customers now need to knock on the glass door to be admitted into the store. The watches are kept in locked display cases. Each of the sales staff has a copy of the keys, and a spare copy is kept in the back storeroom. DRW usually has two security guards, but one security guard has left the company and has not been replaced. At night all watches are removed from the display cases and locked in the safe. The store has a security alarm direct to the police station which is switched on at night when the last employee leaves. DRW maintains a point of sale (POS) computer system and therefore uses the perpetual inventory recording method. Most sales are made by credit, but some customers choose to pay by cash. As there is no bank nearby, DRW staff deposit cash into bank once a week, usually on Thursday afternoon. In the past, the manager of the retail store has conducted regular monthly stocktakes of the jewelry. However, the manager has been on intermittent sick leave during the past year, so stocktakes have become less frequent. DRW tries to provide good facilities for its staff. It provides a staffroom with tea and coffee supplies and biscuits. When the company runs low on these supplies, the staff take cash from the DRW register and purchase more tea, coffee and biscuits from the small supermarket nearby. In the past, the company has been very profitable. However, over the last few years, as the influence of Covid pandemic and the fact that the cost of living has increased, people have been less inclined to buy expensive watches and sales and profitability have fallen.
