Abstract: In this role-play case, you will assume the role of an auditor who must gather relevant information about your client and assess inherent risk for six financial statement accounts. To initiate the process of understanding your client's business, you must email professional inquiries to the “client” (a role played by your instructor) and “ask the right questions” to acquire the information necessary to assess inherent risk. Ultimately, you are asked to prepare a professional memo documenting your assessment of inherent risk for six account balances as part of the audit planning process. An important component of the case is the performance of analytical procedures, which you must interpret using your understanding of the company and the industry in which it operates.
