This proposal is being submitted in response to our meeting with Mr.

---------------
Managing Director & Mr. ----------------------------, Internal Auditor of ---------------------------
-Co., Ltd. (ABC). Our brief observations are:

CURRENT SITUATION

Our initial review and discussion with the Management on the proposed
assignment reveals that:

a) No fixed asset register is being maintained by the Company;


b) The Company is operating with two branches at the moment
i.e., Head Office and Peshawar branch;
c) The Company was operating with maximum of 24 (twenty-
four) branches in any of the previous years;
d) All the assets of the closed out branches are available with the
existing two branches;
e) Written down value of the list of assets provided to us does not
match with the WDV of the assets shown in the audited
balance sheet for the year ended December 31st 2016;
f) Accounting records are available with the Company from Year
2000 todate; and
g) Complete record for the disposal of fixed assets is available
with the Company.

Non maintenance of system generated fixed asset register may have increase the risk of mis-
appropriation of Companies assets.

SCOPE OF WORK

------------------ Co., Ltd. has fixed assets of Rs. --------------------/- at


cost/revalued amount as on 31st December, 2016, which includes land,
building, furniture & fixture, office equipment, computer equipment and
motor vehicles, etc.

The existing process of accounting for fixed asset is carried out in the
general ledger and manual fixed list is maintained at Head Office on
Excel spreadsheet which includes the following:
a) Historical Cost;
b) Depreciation charged for the year;
c) Rate of depreciation for each category of asset being acquired
and reported;
d) Additions and deletions of fixed assets during the year;
e) Adjustments and transfers; and
f) Written down value

We assume that physical verification of fixed assets has never been


carried out, resultantly there is a risk that the information provided by
the ABC may be inaccurate. Moreover, there is no proper coding for
identification of the entire fixed assets, which can result in a material loss
on account of misappropriation or otherwise.
YSC will perform the following tasks for verification of fixed assets:

1) Undertake a physical verification of fixed assets for the entire


organization except land and buildings;
2) Reconciliation of fixed assets record (ABC with YSC); and
3) Coding and tagging of fixed assets;

We shall perform the above tasks for assets located at the Lahore Head
Office and Peshawar (we assume and as confirmed by the Management
of ABC that verification at Peshawar Branch will take maximum of one
day) ABC Management has taken the responsibility of verifying fixed
assets at Karachi Branch internally by their own staff.
DELIVERABLES

Deliverables shall be as follows:

1) Comparison of physical verification report and fixed assets


list provided by the Management.
2) Draft report to the Management incorporating the
discrepancies observed during the process of physical
verification of fixed assets and its related reconciliation

any with necessary details of rectification entries.
3) The physical verification report shall include under each
category, the following:
 Complete list of fixed assets along with their location
including list of fixed assets which have not been
found together with their relevant particulars i.e.,
asset code, description, book value, accumulated
 depreciation and WDV as on December 31st 2016.
