THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The independent auditor’s role is to:
CONTROLS
Controls are effective as a preventive measure only if the following conditions apply.
• Division of duties
• Proper documentation
• Proper authorisation
• Proper recording and follow-up
General rules
• Business Entity rule
• Historical Cost rule
• Rule of prudence
• Matching concept
• Concept of materiality
• Going-concern concept
The general rules need to be more specific. The IFRS statements do exactly this and cover many
specific and contentious issues such as depreciation, stock valuation, foreign exchange transactions
etc.

EXAM TIPS
Accounting is s PRACTISE subject - Practise, Practise, Practise, Practise
• Plan a work time table and go through each section. Spend more time on Companies – The mark allocation is the
most in your final paper – do not cram – do not work the night before – make sure you have a good night sleep the
night before.
• Make sure you have all the necessary stationery – take in an extra calculator.
• READ your question carefully – most mistakes are made because pupils have not read the question correctly.
• Show ALL your working – this is very important. The marker cannot allocate marks if your workings are not shown.
If your final answer is wrong you will still get marks.
• Write clearly and neatly
• When answering theory questions do not “waffle” be concise and to the point.
• If you get stuck on one question – move on TIME is of importance. You can come back to the question later.
• Look at your time and mark allocation – stick to the time.
• Try attempt all the questions and maybe start with the sections you know well. This will save valuable time struggling
with a topic that you find difficult
• BE POSITIVE, CONFIDENT AND CALM
• BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR FINAL EXAMS
May each new day bring a feeling
of excitement, joy and a wonderful sense of expectation.
Expect the best and you’ll get it

FINANCIAL INDICATORS
RATIO PURPOSE
1. GP on Cost of sales •
Determine the level of profitability and operating efficiency of
2. GP on Turnover the business (How profitable is the business)
3. Total Expenses on Turnover • Verify the mark-up (Business policy on Gross Profit on
4. Operating profit on turnover Sales)
5. Net profit after Tax on Turnover • Check on control over expenses.
• Check on control over stock/inventory (Applicable to
periodic inventory system)
PROFITABILITY RATIOS/PERCENTAGES
RATIO COMMENTS
1. Gross profit on Cost of Sales Periodic Inventory System
• Verify mark-up
• Compare with the previous year and determine the extent of
Gross profit x 100 the drop in percentage.
Cost of sales If the business uses the Periodic Inventory System and a Fixed
Mark-up and the % mark-up is lower than as per policy, then the drop
Answer = x % in mark-up can be attributed to the following:
• Trade discounts were offered to bulk buyers
• Stock was discounted during a stock clearance sale
• Errors in calculating mark-up
• Theft of stock
If the business used a variable mark-up, the result would be an
average mark-up of the previous year to see if there is an improvement
or decline in the mark-up
Continuous Inventory System(Perpetual)
• Verify mark-up
• Compare with the previous year and determine the extent of
the drop in percentage.
If the business uses the Perpetual/Continuous Inventory System and a
Fixed Mark-up and the 5 mark-up is lower than as per policy, then the
drop in mark-up cannot be attributed to theft of stock. It can be
attributed to the following:
• Trade discounts were offered to bulk buyers
• Stock was discounted during a stock clearance sale
• Errors in calculating mark-up
• Theft of stock is not applicable.
STOCK CONTROL
Periodic Inventory System Continuous Inventory System
Fixed Mark-up Take physical stock and compare it with the balance on the
• Fixed mark-up will assist in monitoring stock Trading Stock account to establish stock shortages
• Calculation of GP on COS must indicate
whether the mark-up is maintained
• If the mark-up is lower it indicates there are
stock shortages
Variable Mark-up
26
• Stock shortages would be by comparing the
average ark-up with the previous year
Other reasons for a drop in mark-up:
• Goods were discounted during a period of
sales
• Goods were discount to promote bulk sales
3. Total Expenses on Turnover(sales) • This shows what portion of the GP on Turnover is
used for Operating expenses.
• Compare result with the previous year to see if the %
is a lower (improvement in control over expenses) or
Total expenses x 100 if the % is higher (poor control over expenses)
Turnover • Identify specific expenses that need to be curbed
• Guard against decreasing salaries and wages to
improve control over expenses. (Note that
macroeconomics is not only about making a profit but
it is also a social responsibility insofar as creating jobs
is concerned.
• Advertising expenditure seen in relation to sales.
4. Net Income after Tax on Turnover • If the drop in % from GP on turnover to Net profit
after Tax on turnover is very high, then the focus
must be on curbing expense including interest
expense since the cost of financing will have an effect
Net Income after tax x 100 on the ratio (see 3 above)
Turnover • Compare result with the previous year to assess
whether there is an improvement or deterioration in
the control over expense
RATIOS PURPOSE
B. Liquidity Ratios To assess whether the business can pay off its immediate
debts/its short-term obligations
1. Current Ratio Make comparisons with the results of the previous year and
2. Acid Test Ratio comment on:
3. Rate of stock Turnover • The cause and level of improvement OR deterioration
4. Period for which enough Stock is on Points to consider when calculating ratios:
hand • When calculating a ratio, the left side of the ratio
5. Debtors Average Collection Period must be divided by the right hand side of the ratio.
6. Creditors’ Average Payment period Therefore, the right hand side of the ratio will always
be equated to 1 i.e. the result would read x: 1
• When calculating the Rate of Stock
• Turnover, the result would read “x times per year’
• (refer to4, 5 and 6 below)
It is highly recommended that a period is calculated
in days and not in months, it is easier to comment of
the exact number of days than on a fraction of a
month. Therefore, in the calculation multiply by
365 days to arrive at an answer in days.
Liquidity Ratios
RATIO COMMENTS
1. Current Ratio • How much of current assets does the business have
for every R1 of current liability?
Current Assets : Current Liabilities • Is the business liquid?
Inventories Payables • How does the result compare with the previous year?
Receivables Bank overdraft • Will the business be able to pay its short-term debts?
Cash • What can a higher ratio be attributed to?
• High stock levels
• Obsolete stock
• Inventory is valued at prices higher that than the
realistic value
• Increase in debtors through credit sales
• Increase in cash through loans
• What can a lower ratio be attributed to:
• Decrease in any of the current assets
Or
• Increase in any of the current liabilities
2. Acid Test Ratio The acid Test Ratio is calculated to:
• Assess the ability of the business to pay off its short-
term debts without having to sell its stock (inventory)
Current Assets – Inventories: Current Liabilities • How much of current assets excluding stock does
the business have for every R1 of current liability?
Receivables Payables • Why is stock excluded?
Cash Bank overdraft
27
Ø Obsolete stock cannot be converted to cash
quickly
Ø Stock may be over priced and cannot be sold
quickly
Ø Generally, stock cannot be converted to cash
quickly
Ø To determine the extent to which the business has
invested in stock.
How will this be determined?
By examining the drop between the Current Ratio and
the Acid Test Ratio
Other factors that can affect the ratio:
Ø Cash invested in Fixed Deposits
Ø Debtors are taking too long to pay
Ø Creditors are being paid too soon.
How does the result compare with the previous year?
Will the business be able to pay its short-term debts?
3. Rate of Stock Turnover The Rate of Stock Turnover is calculated to check the liquidity
and operating efficiency of the business by determining the
Cost of sales number of time stock is replaced in a year.
Average stock Ø A high stock turnover rate is advantageous and would
result in:
• Increased sales (Turnover)
Answer = x times per year • Increased cash sales would improve cash
flow (Money is available more quickly)
• Increase in turnover would lead to profits
being realized more quickly
Ø A lower stock turnover rate could be as a result of:
• Stockpiling due to ageing, poor quality or
changes in fashion
• Wrong purchases
• Wrong purchase policy
(When must stock be replaced)
• Poor sales
• Economic circumstances
Consequences of stock piling:
• Incur costs for storage (rent etc.) Profits decrease
• Cash is tied to stock that cannot be sold easily
because it is outdated. Affects liquidity
How does this result compare with the previous year?
4. Period for which enough stock on hand The period for which enough Stock is on Hand is calculated to
help the business in planning and replenishing stock. This
Average stock x 365 process involves:
Cost of sales • Adhering to the purchasing policies
• Timeous placing of orders
Answer – x days • Checking up on availability of stock
If the period is long it indicates that more working capital is tied
up in stock
(Working Capital = Current Assess- Current Liabilities)
It must be noted that the type of business will also influence
the period e.g.
• Clothing may be replaced seasonally. Approximately
four time a year
• Groceries and other food items may be replaced more
rapidly that is, daily or weekly
How does this result compare with the previous year?
5. Debtors’ average collection period
The debtors’ collection period is calculated to determine
Average Debtors x 365 whether debtors are complying with the credit terms policy.
Credit Sales
If the collection period exceeds the terms for collection in the
Answer = X days policy, it means that the credit terms policy is not efficient and
the consequences are as follow:
• The business would not have sufficient cash to meet
its financial obligations for e.g. payment to creditors,
paying salaries and other operating expenses.
• The business would have to borrow as a result cash
flow constraints and would have to pay interest on
overdraft.
28
• Compare the result with the previous year and if the
payment has worsened, it means that there is a
regression in credit regulation.
If the collection period complies with the credit terms policy or
it is shorter than the terms for collection it means that:
Important:
How does this result compare with the credit terms policy?
How does this result compare with the previous year?
6. Creditors’ Average Payment period The creditors’ payment period is calculated to determine the
following:
Average Creditors x 365
Credit Purchases • Whether there is compliance with the credit terms
facilities arranged with creditors
Answer = x Days • Whether it is in keeping with the internal payment
policy of the business so that:
Ø Settlement discounts are received
Ø Interest is not charged on overdue accounts
Ø Supplies are not halted due to late payment
RATIO PURPOSE
C Solvency This ratio tests the credit worthiness of the business and
(refers to Shareholders’ Equity) indicates whether the business can meet all its commitments.
29
IMPORTANT:
Use this ratio to comment on Loans
Gering Ratios/Percentages
Ratio Comment
Debt to Equity ratio This ratio tests the credit worthiness of the business and
indicates the extent to which the business is geared (financed)
Borrowed Capital : Own Capital by loans
Credit providers are the interested parties:
(Non-Current Liabilities) Ø Banks
(Shareholders’ Equity) Ø Creditors
High Gearing
Ø Loans Ø High risk (disadvantageous)
Ø Share Capital Ø Loans are high
Ø Retained Income Ø Costly – interest has to be paid
Important: Low Gearing
Ø Low risk (advantageous)
Use this ratio to comment on loans Ø Regarded as creditworthy by banks
Improvement in the ratio can be attributed to:
• Increase in the number of shares issued
• Decrease in loans through partial repayments
How does the ratio compare with the previous year?
RATIOS PURPOSE
E Return These ratios test the efficiency of the investment in the
company.
1. Return on average Shareholders’ Equity
(ROSHE) Comparisons against other forms of investments are crucial
2. Return on Total Capital Employed
(ROTCE) The information derived from these percentages assist the
3. Earnings per share (EPS) directors and shareholders in decision making insofar as the
4. Dividends per share (DPS) investment in the company is concerned.
5. Net Asset value per Share (NAV)
Return Ration/Percentages
Ratio/Percentage Comment
1. Return on Shareholders’ Equity (ROSHE) This calculation is done to ascertain the Return on Shareholder’
Equity.
Net income after Tax x 100 (Investment in the Company)
Average Shareholders’ equity • Check the profit on investment
• Compare the result against the return on alternative
Answer = X % investments
• Compare the result against the previous year
2. Return on Total Capital Employed This ratio indicates whether the business has a return on capital
(ROTCE) employed that is higher or lower than the percentage paid on
loans
Important:
Net Profit before Tax + Interest x 100 Use this ratio to comment on loans
Average Capital Employed Consider the following:
Positive Gearing; (Favourable)
Answer = X % • Applies when funds are borrowed at a relatively low
interest rate in order to earn relative higher returns
Capital employed = Negative Gearing: (Unfavourable)
• Applied when funds are borrowed at a relatively
Shareholders’ Equity + Non-current Liabilities higher interest rate and the difference between return
earned on Capital Employed by utilizing borrowed
funds is relatively narrowed down
• Example:
Interest on loan=15 % compared against the ROTCE
of 22%
• Applies when interest rates on loans are equal to or
relatively higher than the return earned by the
company Employed
How does the result compare with the previous year?
3. Earnings per share (EPS) This ratio refers to the return the company earned per share
More specifically, it means that this is the amount that the
Net income after Tax x 100 company earned for every share invested in the company. This
No of shares issued does not mean that the shareholder received this amount per
share.
Answer = X cents per share
• Because a portion of the earning is Retained for
Calculation as a percentage further expansion or unforeseen circumstances

• Shareholders do not receive the immediate benefit,
EPS x 100 that is the total benefit of the earning
Price per Share • This calculation is used by shareholders to gauge the
earning per share in relation to the market price of
Answer = X % the share for investment purposes.
How does the result compare with the previous year?
4. Dividends per Share (DPS) This ratio indicates that portion of the total earnings of the
company that the shareholders received.
Total Dividends for the year x 100 The shareholder must compare their earning in the form
No of Shares issued of dividends with:
• The results of the previous year
Answer – x cents per share • Alternative investments (% earned)
Note:
Note: The difference between Earnings per share and Dividends
per share is Retained Income
Total dividends = Dividend paid (Interim) + EPS -DPS= Retained Income
Recommended (final) for the year. How does the result compare with the previous year

B RECONCILIATIONS – CONTROLS AND AGE ANALYSIS
Managing Debtors
What is a Credit Policy?
• Credit offered effectively so as to be profitable for the business.
• Must include:
Ø Criteria for credit approval
Ø Credit limits
Ø Terms
Ø Discounts.
Control is therefore very important because if we do not manage our debtors effectively this can have a negative impact of our
cash flow.
What can we do to encourage our debtors to pay us on time according to our credit policy?
• Use of settlement discounts
• Interest may be charged on overdue accounts
• Active management of overdue accounts by contacting the debtor directly, either with letters, emails or phone calls.
As part of internal control, it is necessary the bookkeeper draws up an age analysis of their debtors and creditors on a regular
basis.
• Able to determine at a glance, whether the debtor are paying their accounts in the stipulated period or are taking
longer periods to pay.
• Essential to know that credit term debtors are allowed.
• Age analysis is therefore a historical document – drawn up to show what the debtors owe for purchase in the past.
• Payments are made against the OLDEST BALANCE FIRST.
