Question:
During the most recent audit, Rivers concluded that service revenue totaling $11,000 was recognized as of December 31, 2020, and it did not meet the criteria for recognition until 2021. When Rivers discussed this issue with Chris Turner, Charger Company’s chief financial officer, Turner asked Rivers about the performance materiality level used in the audit, which was $25,000. Upon learning of this, Turner remarked, “Then there’s no need to worry … it’s not a material amount. Why should we bother with this item?”
- a. How does the misstatement identify in 2020 affect net income, assets, liabilities, and equity in 2020?
- b. Comment upon Turner’s remark to Rivers. Is Turner’s reasoning correct?
- c. Upon doing some research, Rivers learned of the rollover method and iron curtain method for evaluating the performance materiality of misstatements. Briefly define each of these methods.
- d. How would Rivers evaluate the performance materiality of the $11,000 sales cutoff error in 2020 under the rollover method and iron curtain method?
- e. Based on your response to part (d), what adjustments (if any) would Rivers propose to Charger Company’s financial statements under the rollover method and iron curtain method?
