4/26/2016 Auditing Cases, 12.4 - Learning Activity - Week5 - ACC/492 - eCampus Case  12.4:  Surfer  Dude  Duds,  Inc.:  Considering  the  Going-­ Concern  Assumption  * *This  case  was  prepared  by  Mark  S.  Beasley,  Ph.D.  and  Frank  A.  Buckless,  Ph.D.  of  North  Carolina  State University  and  Steven  M.  Glover,  Ph.D.  and  Douglas  F.  Prawitt,  Ph.D.  of  Brigham  Young  University,  as  a basis  for  class  discussion.  The  case  was  inspired  by  discussions  with  Craig  Isom,  a  former  audit  partner, and  we  gratefully  acknowledge  his  contribution  to  its  development.  Surfer  Dude  Duds  is  a  fictitious company.  All  characters  and  names  represented  are  fictitious;;  any  similarity  to  existing  companies  or persons  is  purely  coincidental. Mark  S.  Beasley,  Frank  A.  Buckless,  Steven  M.  Glover,  Douglas  F.  Prawitt Learning  Objectives After  completing  and  discussing  this  case,  you  should  be  able  to Understand  the  difficulty  of  assessing  the  client’s  going-­concern  assumption Describe  the  “self-­fulfilling  prophecy”  aspect  of  a  going-­concern  modified auditor’s  report Identify  factors  that  encourage  objective  auditor  judgments  despite  the presence  of  friendly  client-­auditor  relationships Background Mark  glanced  up  at  the  clock  on  his  office  wall.  It  read  2:30  P.M.  He  had  scheduled  a  3:00  P.M. meeting  with  George  “Hang-­ten”  Baldwin,  chief  executive  officer  of  Surfer  Dude  Duds,  Inc. Surfer  Dude  specialized  in  selling  clothing  and  accessories  popularized  by  the  California  “surfer” culture.  Mark  had  served  as  audit  partner  on  the  Surfer  Dude  Duds  audit  for  the  past  six  years and  was  about  ready  to  wrap  up  this  year’s  engagement. He  enjoyed  a  strong  client  relationship  with  George  Baldwin,  who  was  ordinarily  a  relaxed  and easygoing  man,  now  going  on  50  years  of  age.  For  several  years,  Mark  had  received  a  personal invitation  from  George  to  attend  a  special  Christmas  party  held  only  for  George’s  employees and  close  associates.  Mark  considered  George  a  good  friend. In  his  six  years  on  the  audit,  Mark  had  never  had  any  reason  to  give  anything  but  a  clean audit  opinion  for  Surfer  Dude  Duds,  Inc.  But  this  year  was  different.  The  economy  was  in  a  mild recession,  and  given  the  faddishness  of  clothing  trends,  Surfer  Dude’s  retail  chain  was  hurting. As  sales  decreased,  Surfer  Dude  was  struggling  to  meet  all  its  financial  obligations.  Retail analysts  foresaw  continuing  hard  times  for  clothing  retailers  in  general,  and  current  fashion trends  did  not  seem  to  be  moving  in  Surfer  Dude’s  direction.  As  a  result,  Mark  was  beginning  to doubt  Surfer  Dude’s  ability  to  stay  in  business  through  the  next  year.  In  fact,  after  conferring  with the  concurring  partner  on  the  audit,  Mark  was  reluctantly  considering  the  addition  of  a  going-­ concern  explanatory  paragraph  to  the  audit  report.  When  Mark  broached  this  possibility  with George  several  weeks  ago,  George  brushed  him  off. The  purpose  of  the  scheduled  3:00  meeting  was  to  inform  George  of  the  decision  to  issue  a going-­concern  report  and  to  discuss  the  footnote  disclosure  of  the  issue.  Mark  rehearsed  what he  was  going  to  say  several  times,  but  he  remained  uneasy  about  the  task  before  him. https://newclassroom3.phoenix.edu/Classroom/#/contextid/OSIRIS:49958635/context/co/view/activityDetails/activity/579a5728-68ef-452f-9de2-4b9742257ba5/expa… 1/3 4/26/2016 Auditing Cases, 12.4 - Learning Activity - Week5 - ACC/492 - eCampus When  Mark  arrived  at  George  Baldwin’s  office,  a  secretary  greeted  him  and  told  Mr.  Baldwin of  Mark’s  arrival.  When  Mark  heard  George  say,  “Send  him  in,”  he  took  a  deep  breath  and headed  into  George’s  office  with  a  smile  on  his  face.  George  was  sprawled  out  in  a  large executive  chair,  with  his  ever-­present  smile.  Mark  always  marveled  at  how  a  person  could invariably  seem  so  relaxed  and  happy.  “Hey  Mark,  what’s  up?  You  know  I  don’t  like  meetings  on Friday  afternoons,”  George  yawned. “Well  George,  I’ll  get  right  to  the  point.  As  you  well  know,  the  retail  clothing  market  has  really gone  south  the  past  few  months.  I  know  I  don’t  need  to  tell  you  that  Surfer  Dude  is  struggling right  now.” “I  know,  but  we’ll  pull  out  of  it,”  George  insisted.  “When  you  fall  off,  you’ve  got  to  climb  right back  on  to  ride  the  next  monster,  right?  We  always  manage  to  come  out  on  top.  We  just  need  to ride  this  one  out,  just  like  the  other  times  we’ve  struggled.” “George,  I  know  you  have  high  hopes  that  things  will  get  better  soon,  but  this  time  things  are a  little  different,”  Mark  sighed.  “I  know  that  you  might  just  be  able  to  pull  the  company  out  of  this. But  given  the  circumstances,  I  think  we’re  going  to  have  to  look  at  including  a  going-­concern explanatory  paragraph  in  the  audit  report.  I  substantially  doubt  that  Surfer  Dude  will  be  able  to continue  as  a  going  concern  for  the  next  year.  I  also  recommend  that  you  include  a  footnote  in your  financial  statements  to  the  same  effect.” “What?  Mark,  you  can’t  go  slapping  a  going-­concern  report  on  me!  Surfer  Dude  will  go  belly-­ up  for  sure.  No  one  will  be  willing  to  loan  us  any  money.  Shoot,  nobody  will  even  be  willing  to sell  us  anything  on  account—all  our  inventory  purchases  and  everything  else  will  be  C.O.D.  It’ll be  cash-­and-­carry  only.  And  what  about  our  customers?  Will  they  buy  if  they’re  not  sure  we’ll  be there  to  stand  behind  our  return  policy?  It’ll  be  your  report  that  puts  us  under,  not  the  ripples we’re  hitting  now.  I’ve  got  a  feeling  things  are  going  to  get  better  soon.  We  just  need  a  little  more time.” “George,  you’ve  got  to  consider  the  consequences  if....” “Mark,  if  you  slap  me  with  a  going-­concern  report,  there  is  no  way  we’ll  be  able  to  pull  out  of this.  Think  of  all  the  people  who  will  lose  their  jobs  if  Surfer  Dude  shuts  down.  Please,  I’m asking  you  to  at  least  think  about  it.”  George’s  ever-­present  smile  was  gone. Mark  was  silent  for  what  seemed  like  an  eternity.  “Okay  George,  let’s  both  think  about  it  over the  weekend.  I’ll  drop  by  on  Monday  morning  so  we  can  work  this  out.  Thanks  for  your  time.” Mark  walked  slowly  out  of  the  building  and  to  his  car.  This  was  not  going  to  be  a  relaxing weekend.
