to the following three audits of financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2006:

company’s finance director, Peter, sees little value in the audit and put it out to tender last year as a cost-cutting

be an interim audit.

expects a thorough examination of the company’s computerised systems, and are also seeking assurance that

the annual report will not attract adverse criticism.

provides communication services and software solutions. Your firm provides Gray with technical advice on

financial reporting and tax services. Most recently you have been asked to conduct due diligence reviews on

potential acquisitions.
