Apollo Shoes Inc.
Apollo denied our request to speak with the predecessor auditors because of “litigation concerns.” I’ve looked at the 8-K filed by Apollo and the auditors referenced in the 10-K. I didn’t attach a copy because it didn’t say much, just something about “incongruent goals,” blah, blah, blah. Against my advice, Arnold decided to accept the engagement anyway. Keep your eyes open!

The good news is that the predecessor auditors, Smith and Smith, CPAs, have a good reputation, so you can use last year’s audited numbers from the 10-K. The bad news is that we don’t have access to prior year working papers. You’ll need to come up with programs for the substantive audit procedures for each of the functional balance sheet areas (indicated with an asterisk (*) below). You can download copies of the audit programs from AuditNet (www.auditnet.org) under “Auditors Sharing Audit Programs” or get them from an old auditing textbook. My preference is to place the audit programs at the beginning of each section. Label the sections as follows:

GA series (GA-1, GA-2, etc.) General and Administrative (Planning)
ICC series Revenue/Collection Cycle Internal Control Evaluation
ICD series Purchasing/Disbursements Internal Control Evaluation
ICP series Payroll Internal Control Evaluation
A series Trial Balance/Financial Statements/Adjustments/Footnotes
B series* Cash Substantive Workpapers
C series* Accounts Receivable Substantive Workpapers
D series* Inventory Substantive Workpapers
E series* Prepaids Substantive Workpapers
F series* Property, Plant and Equipment Substantive Workpapers
I series* Other Assets Substantive Workpapers
L series* Current Liabilities Substantive Workpapers
N series* Notes Payable Substantive Workpapers
Q series* Stockholders’ Equity Substantive Workpapers
R series* Revenue Substantive Workpapers
X series* Expenses Substantive Workpapers

    Mercury Athletic Footwear

    There are several reasons why AGI should consider Mercury Athletic as an appropriate target for acquisition. First, acquiring Mercury could improve both companies financially. Acquiring Mercury would double AGI’s revenue. Although Mercury’s financial performance has been disappointing, they experienced top line growth of 20% in 2006. Unfortunately, their profitability has been disappointing due to price concessions to big box retailers and an unsuccessful women’s line. Mercury’s (and ultimately AGI’s) profitability could be improved by the synergies of the two companies merging. Synergies within supply chain, operations, research and development, and advertising should all improve Mercury’s EBITDA.…

    Italian Shoe Company

    • 2633 Words
    • 11 Pages

    The Italian Shoe Company is a New York, family owned company now in its sixth generation. The company started in 1823 making shoes for men and women based on designs that were popular in the growing Italian community of New York. In the early years, it struggled to survive. But over the years, particularly from the start of the twentieth century, it has prospered. The sixth generation owner -Adamo Pedone- is a very wealthy person. Currently, the company produces over 30 different types of men and women shoes, mostly in the upper market segments (i.e. starting at $ 400 a pair). Rising sales revenues have brought in a lot of money to the company, which is steadily being invested into increasing numbers of specialized line personnel and managerial staff. Adamo, who is known as "Shoe Lord " by his employees, has finally added an HR specialist (you) to help with personnel and organizational behavior issues. He has asked you to help with what he feels is a problem of worker morale in the operations division. Mark Whitehall, VP of operations, has complained to Adamo that most of his workers have bad attitudes and don't seem to want to work. He says he's prepared to fire them all if they don't shape up. Mark has informed Adamo of his intentions, and believes he (Adamo) needs to "clean house" to show them who's boss. Besides, he thinks a lot of them have become complacent and don't care about quality. Mark also pays little attention to the mid-level managers' opinions stating that, "I'm ultimately responsible, so I'll make the decisions." Adamo knows that Mark can be heavy-handed in his management style and that he believes workers come to work either motivated or not. Mark has told him "there's nothing you can do to make them work if they don't want to." Knowing everything about shoes, but little about people, Adamo isn't sure whether it's the workers or Mark that's creating the problem. He wants to know that if it is Mark, can he be…
