4 You are an audit manager in Nate & Co, a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants. You are reviewing three situations,

which were recently discussed at the monthly audit managers’ meeting:

(1) Nate & Co has recently been approached by a potential new audit client, Fisher Co. Your firm is keen to take the

appointment and is currently carrying out client acceptance procedures. Fisher Co was recently incorporated by

Marcellus Fisher, with its main trade being the retailing of wooden storage boxes.

(2) Nate & Co provides the audit service to CF Co, a national financial services organisation. Due to a number of

errors in the recording of cash deposits from new customers that have been discovered by CF Co’s internal audit

team, the directors of CF Co have requested that your firm carry out a review of the financial information

technology systems. It has come to your attention that while working on the audit planning of CF Co, Jin Sayed,

one of the juniors on the audit team, who is a recent information technology graduate, spent three hours

providing advice to the internal audit team about how to improve the system. As far as you know, this advice has

not been used by the internal audit team.

(3) LA Shots Co is a manufacturer of bottled drinks, and has been an audit client of Nate & Co for five years. Two

audit juniors attended the annual inventory count last Monday. They reported that Brenda Mangle, the new

production manager of LA Shots Co, wanted the inventory count and audit procedures performed as quickly as

possible. As an incentive she offered the two juniors ten free bottles of ‘Super Juice’ from the end of the

production line. Brenda also invited them to join the LA Shots Co office party, which commenced at the end of

the inventory count. The inventory count and audit procedures were completed within two hours (the previous

year’s procedures lasted a full day), and the juniors then spent four hours at the office party.

Required:

(a) Define ‘money laundering’ and state the procedures specific to money laundering that should be considered
