    SECTION A - CASE 2: AERODYNAMICS LOGISTICS

    AeroDynamics Logistics is a drone delivery startup. You are the audit senior for the year ended 30 September 20X6. During the audit, you note the following:

    1. The company has a significant cash burn rate and its main operating license expires in two months, with renewal pending a safety review.
    2. On 15 October 20X6, a major warehouse fire destroyed 40% of their drone fleet.
    3. A key customer, accounting for 25% of revenue, declared bankruptcy on 5 November 20X6.
      The financial statements are due to be signed on 30 November 20X6.

    Which TWO of the following audit procedures should be performed to assess whether AeroDynamics Logistics is a going concern? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Review correspondence with the licensing authority regarding the renewal of the operating license.

    B.

    Perform a physical verification of the remaining 60% of the drone fleet.

    C.

    Analyze and discuss cash flow forecasts with management for at least 12 months from the reporting date.

    D.

    Send a confirmation letter to the bankrupt customer to verify the outstanding balance.

    How to approach this question

    Select procedures that directly evaluate the company's ability to continue operating in the foreseeable future.

    Full Answer

    To assess going concern, auditors must evaluate management's future plans and forecasts. Reviewing cash flow forecasts addresses the cash burn issue. Reviewing correspondence with the licensing authority addresses the risk of losing the right to operate. The other options are standard substantive procedures for specific balances, not going concern assessments.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting standard substantive procedures (like asset verification) instead of forward-looking going concern procedures.
