For the following independent situation, describe the most appropriate course of action that the auditors should take. SITUATION: During a PCAOB inspection, it was determined that WKRP, LLP had not adequately documented their rationale for not observing the physical inventory count in its audit of King Manufacturing. This discovery occurred over a full year after the audit report release date. Lebron McWhiney, the lead engagement partner conceded that the inventory observation had not occurred and alternative procedures were not available due to the client's accounting record retention policies. In discussions with the PCAOB investigators Lebron noted that the rationale, although not documented, was that King's year-end inventory is quantitatively immaterial, at just 1% of total assets.

SITUATION: Following the completion of the 2014 audit (including the release of the audit report) of Blankenship Corporation, by SeeanSee, Muzik, and Fakdurry, LLC (SMF). Reese Jill, SMF's audit partner met with the manager on the audit engagement to conduct a postmortem on the engagement and identify how changes in Blankenship's operations noted during the most recent audit may affect future audits. During this review, Jill became aware that Blankenship's process for evaluating potential impairment of goodwill related to an acquisition made by Blankenship during the most recent year had been considered and calculated by the audit team, but for unknown reasons the adjustment had not been proposed to the client. Thus, the impairment had not been properly disclosed or accounted for in the financial statements.

The following scenario involves a legal issue for Westbrook Russell Corporation (WRC). WRC is involved in several legal issues brought by or against competitors, customers and regulatory bodies. WRC is both a manufacturer and retailer of sports apparel. WRC works closely with its outside counsel preparing all such suits. WRC recently requested its outside attorneys with the firm of Curry & Thompson to provide information to its auditors on all legal matters.

The drink container line is WRC's top-selling product line with over 50 million units being sold over the past ten years. The researchers have submitted their findings to an academic journal for publication. WRC is currently conducting its own tests of the products and results are not known at this time.
