(a) Explain the purpose of a value for money audit. (4 marks)
(b) Bluesberry hospital is located in a country where healthcare is free, as the taxpayers fund the hospitals which are owned by the government. Two years ago management reviewed all aspects of hospital operations and instigated a number of measures aimed at improving overall ‘value for money’ for the local community. Management have asked that you, an audit manager in the hospital’s internal audit department, perform. a review over the measures which have been implemented.
Bluesberry has one centralised buying department and all purchase requisition forms for medical supplies must be forwarded here. Upon receipt the buying team will research the lowest price from suppliers and a purchase order is raised. This is then passed to the purchasing director, who authorises all orders. The small buying team receive in excess of 200 forms a day.
The human resources department has had difficulties with recruiting suitably trained staff. Overtime rates have been increased to incentivise permanent staff to fill staffing gaps, this has been popular, and reliance on expensive temporary staff has been reduced. Monitoring of staff hours had been difficult but the hospital has implemented time card clocking in and out procedures and these hours are used for overtime payments as well.
The hospital has invested heavily in new surgical equipment, which although very expensive, has meant that more operations could be performed and patient recovery rates are faster. However, currently there is a shortage of appropriately trained medical staff. A capital expenditure committee has been established, made up of senior managers, and they plan and authorise any significant capital expenditure items.
Required:
(i) Identify and explain FOUR STRENGTHS within Bluesberry’s operating environment; and (6 marks)
(ii) For each strength identified, describe how Bluesberry might make further improvements to provide the best value for money. (4 marks)
(c) Describe TWO substantive procedures the external auditor of Bluesberry should adopt to verify EACH of the following assertions in relation to an entity’s property, plant and equipment;
(i) Valuation;
(ii) Completeness; and
(iii) Rights and obligations.
Note: Assume that the hospital adopts International Financial Reporting Standards. (6 marks)

2 The Information Technology division (IT) of the RJ Business Consulting Group provides consulting services to its
clients as well as to other divisions within the group. Consultants always work in teams of two on every consulting
day. Each consulting day is charged to external clients at ￡750 which represents cost plus 150% profit mark up. The
total cost per consulting day has been estimated as being 80% variable and 20% fixed.
The director of the Human Resources (HR) division of RJ Business Consulting Group has requested the services of
two teams of consultants from the IT division on five days per week for a period of 48 weeks, and has suggested that
she meets with the director of the IT division in order to negotiate a transfer price. The director of the IT division has
responded by stating that he is aware of the limitations of using negotiated transfer prices and intends to charge the
HR division ￡750 per consulting day.
The IT division always uses ‘state of the art’ video-conferencing equipment on all internal consultations which would
reduce the variable costs by ￡50 per consulting day. Note: this equipment can only be used when providing internal
consultations.
Required:
(a) Calculate and discuss the transfer prices per consulting day at which the IT division should provide
consulting services to the HR division in order to ensure that the profit of the RJ Business Consulting Group
is maximised in each of the following situations:
(i) Every pair of consultants in the IT division is 100% utilised during the required 48-week period in
providing consulting services to external clients, i.e. there is no spare capacity.
(ii) There is one team of consultants who, being free from other commitments, would be available to
undertake the provision of services to the HR division during the required 48-week period. All other
teams of consultants would be 100% utilised in providing consulting services to external clients.
(iii) A major client has offered to pay the IT division ￡264,000 for the services of two teams of consultants
during the required 48-week period.

Pear International Co (Pear) is a manufacturer of electrical equipment. It has factories across the country and its customer base includes retailers as well as individuals, to whom direct sales are made through their website. The company’s year end is 30 September 2012. You are an audit supervisor of Apple & Co and are currently reviewing documentation of Pear’s internal control in preparation for the interim audit.
Pear’s website allows individuals to order goods directly, and full payment is taken in advance. Currently the website is not integrated into the inventory system and inventory levels are not checked at the time when orders are placed.
Goods are despatched via local couriers; however, they do not always record customer signatures as proof that the customer has received the goods. Over the past 12 months there have been customer complaints about the delay between sales orders and receipt of goods. Pear has investigated these and found that, in each case, the sales order had been entered into the sales system correctly but was not forwarded to the despatch department for fulfilling.
Pear’s retail customers undergo credit checks prior to being accepted and credit limits are set accordingly by sales ledger clerks. These customers place their orders through one of the sales team, who decides on sales discount levels.
Raw materials used in the manufacturing process are purchased from a wide range of suppliers. As a result of staff changes in the purchase ledger department, supplier statement reconciliations are no longer performed. Additionally, changes to supplier details in the purchase ledger master file can be undertaken by purchase ledger clerks as well as supervisors.
In the past six months Pear has changed part of its manufacturing process and as a result some new equipment has been purchased, however, there are considerable levels of plant and equipment which are now surplus to requirement. Purchase requisitions for all new equipment have been authorised by production supervisors and little has been done to reduce the surplus of old equipment.
Required:
(a) In respect of the internal control of Pear International Co:
(i) Identify and explain FIVE deficiencies;
(ii) Recommend a control to address each of these deficiencies; and
(iii) Describe a test of control Apple & Co would perform. to assess if each of these controls is operating effectively. (15 marks)
(b) Describe substantive procedures you should perform. at the year end to confirm each of the following for plant and equipment:
(i) Additions; and
(ii) Disposals. (4 marks)
(c) Pear’s finance director has expressed an interest in Apple & Co performing other review engagements in addition to the external audit; however, he is unsure how much assurance would be gained via these engagements and how this differs to the assurance provided by an external audit.
Required:
Identify and explain the level of assurance provided by an external audit and other review engagements. (3 marks)
Pear’s directors are considering establishing an internal audit department next year, and the finance director has asked about the differences between internal audit and external audit and what impact, if any, establishing an internal audit department would have on future external audits performed by Apple & Co.
Required:
(d) Distinguish between internal audit and external audit. (4 marks)
(e) Explain the potential impact on the work performed by Apple & Co during the interim and final audits, if Pear International Co was to establish an internal audit department. (4 marks)
