    Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and payables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, creditors, and financial institutions. Also, we will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material errors, fraud, or illegal acts, may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial errors, fraud, or other illegal acts or illegal acts that…

One such error was announced by the internet sales company Overstock.com in early 2009. Due to an accounting error, partners of the company were under billed by $1.8 million dollars over the course of 2008. Overstock chose to record this entry incorrectly which falsely ballooned the company’s revenues; in turn, causing them to record an incorrect profit of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Had this entry been booked correctly and within the guidelines of the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Overstock would have recorded its earnings correctly, showing a loss of $0.8 million.…
