Audit Findings
1. Short Term Borrowings
Short-Term Borrowings is the amount that a company has drawn off from its line of
credit from a bank or other financial institution that needs to be repaid within the next 12
months.
We see here an increase of 3369 in short term borrowings from the year 2005 to 2006.
2. Trade payables
Trade payables is the money that the company currently owes to its suppliers, its partners
and its employees. Basically, these are the basic costs of doing business that a company,
for whatever reason, has not paid off yet.
In ABC's case, we have an amount of 12855. We also consider a 4288 increase from the
last accounting period.
3. Other liabilities
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, other liabilities consist of the following:
2006
Salaries and social taxes
SARs payable
Agriculture tax
Accrued payables
VAT and other taxes payable
Provision for Water Perla

We notice again an increase of 2050 in this period.


4. Current portion of capital lease
Current portion of capital lease includes leases of property, plant and equipment where

the Company assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified
as capital leases.
We observe an increase of 156 in capital lease liability.
Audit Opinion
1. We found a discrepancy between amounts recorded in Balance Sheet regarding the
increase of current liabities and those of Income Statement.
Total current liabilities

25,425 15,562

Increase in trade payables and other liabilities

5,088

3,671

We found an increase of 9863.


2. Amount dont match also regarding capital lease-current portion
In the notes the following are mentioned:
Capital lease
Payable at year end December 31:
2005
2006
2007

298
57
19
374

But, in the Balance Sheet, the capital lease shows an amount payable of 287, instead of
57.
3. The short term borrowings were calculated as follows:
2006 2005
Current portion
Alpha Bank Loan at LIBOR+2.75% interest due
monthly, principal due 2005-2006 (initial
loan: USD 464), collateralized by general pledge
Alpha Bank Overdraft at LIBOR 3 months+1.75%, due 2006
(initial overdraft: USD 6,500)

4,199

401

2,041

Alpha Bank Overdraft ROL at 23% , due 2007


(initial overdraft: ROL 20,000 millions;
2003: 12,000 millions)

116

HVB Bank at LIBOR +1.75% (initial loan: USD 505),


collateralized by pledged equipment and cession of
certain receivables from key accounts, due 2006

ING Bank at LIBOR 3 months+1.75% (initial loan: USD 4,000),


collateralized by current trade receivables, pledged
inventories in the total amount of USD 4,100, and
pledged equipment in the total amount of USD 1,540

3,473

TOTAL

7,788

217

1,760
4,419

We can see an increase of 3369 in short term borrowings.


4. We also have to take into account that the companys management considers that the
tax liabilities included in these financial statements are fairly stated.
=> Qualified opinion
Although misstatements were found, we do not consider them material enough to sustain
an Adverse Opinion, however, because they do not affect the rest of the financial
statements from being fairly presented when taken as a whole, we sustain a Qualified
Opinion.
