ABC Ltd (ABC) engaged the accounting firm of Ace & King to perform its annual audit. Ace amp; King performed the audit in a

competent, non-negligent manner and billed ABC for $30 000, the agreed fee. Shortly after delivery of the audited financial report, Sam Lloyd, the assistant controller, disappeared, taking with him $40 000 of ABCâ s funds. It was then discovered that Sam had been engaged in a highly sophisticated, novel defalcation scheme during the past year. He had previously embezzled $50 000 of ABCâ s funds. ABC has refused to pay the auditorâ s fee and is seeking to recover the $90 000 that was stolen by Sam. Which of the following is correct?
The auditor cannot recover the audit fee and is liable for $90 000.


The auditor is entitled to collect the audit fee and is not liable for $90 000.


ABC is entitled to recover the $40 000 defalcation of the current year and is not liable for the $30 000 fee.


ABC is entitled to rescind the audit contract and thus is not liable for the $30 000 fee, but it cannot recover damages.

Answer:

The auditor is entitled to collect the audit fee and is not liable for $90 000.

Explanation:

Ace & King did their job in a competent way, the fact that the company's controller was doing something illegal is not their responsibility. External auditors work with the information that is given to them and their job is limited to analyzing them and making their conclusions about them.

In this case, the controller was the person responsible for giving the information to the auditing company, so he had the chance to direct their conclusions. An external auditor is not responsible for what happens inside a firm, and if someone steals money or assets, he/she is responsible for it.

Which individual is a producer?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

To be considered as a producer, we need to create some sorts of goods or services and exchange it with the customers in order to obtain some sort of financial gain. I believe that a host who seats customers in a busy restaurant would be considered a producer because he is providing a service to consumers.

Hope this helps!
