Subject: Apollo Shoes Audit of Account Receivable Memo
With regard to audits of trade accounts receivable, we decided to use positive and negative
confirmations to verify customer balances because we decided that we could not rely on Apollo's
control over this account. A positive confirmation simply asks the customer to respond to us by
stating whether their listed account balance is correct or not. We use this type of confirmation for all
customers with account balances in excess of $ 1,000,000. A negative confirmation asks the
customer to respond only if there is a problem with the registered account balance. We use this type
of confirmation for all customers with an account balance of $ 1,000,000 or less. We also ask
customers to confirm their total sales for the year as there are relatively few transactions for each
customer to see. This process resulted in 6 positive confirmations and 25 negative confirmations
being sent.
Of the confirmations that were sent, we received back six positive confirmations, along with one
negative one. The findings of each are listed below:
 Neutralizer - Customer records show that $ 1,388.75 more was due to be paid to Apollo than
indicated on the positive confirmation. Neutralizer made a check with Apollo on 28/12/14
for $ 3,053,144.23 for the 10 pallets of shoes it received.
 Mall-Warts - The customer stated that they had entered into an accidental bankruptcy on
11/03/14, which was notified by Apollo at the time. Against Mall-Warts' wishes, Apollo sent
a large shipment of shoes to Mall-Wart in late December (including over 1,600 pairs of size
23 shoes). Even though Mall-Warts believes that the balance stated on the positive
confirmation is correct, they did not order for the latest shipment and are currently unable to
ship items back to Apollo.
 Run for Your Life Shoes - Customers certify that they have made one purchase from Apollo
during 2014, but that they paid the entire balance as of 01/08/15.
 Tread - Customer certifies that they have returned five pairs of damaged shoes and has been
notified that their account has been credited for the return, which should amount to $
1,388.75, current registered balance. If not, the total purchases for the year are agreed with
the customer record.
 Paul Bunion Footwear - Customers do not see any problem with the positive confirmation
they have received.
 Sassy Shoes - Customers stated that they did have the balance stated on the positive
confirmation received, but they experienced some financial difficulties during the year
which caused payments to be slow. They also claim payment was sent on 01/10/15.
 International Soccer Federation - The customer confirms that the balance stated on their
positive confirmation is correct, but due to a problem with the product, does not intend to
purchase any more merchandise from Apollo.

The amounts appear right, but we entered into involuntary bankcruptcy on November 3. We told
Apollo about this back at that time. We don’t know why they shipped us so many pairs in Late
December (including over 1600 pair if size 23’s that we can even give away!). We didn’t order
them and we can’t afford to send them back!
