Study Notes
Overview of Auditing in Specialized Industries
- Critical function of the banking and finance sector in the Philippine economy involves mobilizing domestic savings into investments.
- Essential for supporting firms in raising productive capacities, expanding factories, and increasing job creation.
- Philippines has three bank types: universal/commercial, rural/cooperative, and thrift banking, with universal/commercial banks holding roughly 12 trillion Philippine pesos in deposits.
Module Objectives
- Understand the nature and background of specialized industries.
- Learn about relevant statistics and updates in the Philippine context.
- Identify audit considerations and trends specific to the industry.
Property Management
- Property management firms assist real estate owners in renting units, managing repairs, and handling tenant interactions, charging a fee based on rent.
Construction Sector
- Significant focus on construction since 2016 with 100 infrastructure flagship projects initiated to enhance connectivity and traffic flow.
- Major projects include Metro Manila Subway costing approximately 357 billion pesos, with completion targeted for 2025.
- The "Build Build Build" program led to a rise in building contractor licenses, with around 4.8 thousand permits issued for general engineering contractors in 2018.
Audit Considerations
- Monitor legal or regulatory issues, including potential legal communications and tenant vacancies that might affect financial statements.
- Adjust internal control narratives for changes due to remote work and staff turnover, supported with legal documentation for all significant transactions.
- Prepare for changes in audit requests, shifting towards remote processes, including virtual meetings and general ledger access.
Going Concern Considerations
- Evaluate pandemic effects on an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, including cash flow issues or tenant losses.
Technical Accounting Considerations
- Rent Concessions: Under ITB, they offset revenue. For GAAP, rent concessions may be accounted as included in the original lease agreement.
- Rent Deferrals: ITB impacts cash collection timing, while GAAP allows for two accounting methods regarding deferrals during COVID-19.
-
Tenant-Related Assets:
- Perform evaluations of accounts receivable for collectability.
- For ITB, uncollectible accounts are written off; GAAP allows for an allowance for doubtful accounts.
- Identify tenant improvements and deferred leasing costs for vacated units and potentially write these off.
Financing Costs
- Deferred Financing Costs: Extinguishment requires writing off existing costs. New costs are capitalized and amortized over the new loan's term.
Auditing in the Transportation Industry
- Revenue recognition involves understanding the principles that dictate when and how revenue is recorded.
- Payroll audits ensure accurate payments, especially for non-salaried employees, by analyzing mileage records and time sheets.
- Safety policy audits assess the effectiveness of safety protocols and their implementation based on incident reports.
- Physical equipment audits ensure that assets generating income are in good condition and properly documented.
