A CPA firm is auditing Avila Apartments, a calendar year-end nonissuer, for the Year 4 audit.
Pop-up 1: We used a nonstatistical predictive model to come up with our expectation of rental revenue for each month (dependent variable), which was aggregated to give us the total expected rental revenue for Year 4 Pop-up 2: Average monthly rental rate of $5.00 per square foot. Pop-up 3: The actual rental revenues were more than $20,000 higher than expected for the months of June, July, and December Pop-up 4: Based on our analytical procedure, there was a difference of $183,220 between our annual revenue expectation of $9,137,500 and actual revenue of $9,320,720. Pop-up 5: Based on our additional procedures, we obtained evidence that the occupancy was about 75 percent at Park and Hickory in June and July, which explains $146,250 of the difference. Pop-up 6: Based on the additional information, we believe that there is no material misstatement of revenue because expected misstatement is less than performance materiality.
