Part I.
Auditors often observe the counting of their client's inventories. You are working in the area of inventory with a new assistant on the audit of Keystone Computers, Inc. The assistant has a number of questions concerning inventory and the observation of inventory. Please reply "yes" or "no" to answer the following questions.
A With strong internal control, may Keystone Computers Inc.'s inventory count be performed during the year rather than at year end?
B Must I document all my test counts in the working papers?
C Am I correct that our observation of the counting of the inventory addresses only the existence of inventory, and not the completeness of the count?
D Is it correct that, since Keystone Computers Inc. manufactures a product, direct labor and overhead ordinarily become part of inventory costs?
E Should Keystone Computers inventory be valued at the lower of standard cost or market?
F Is it safe to assume that any inventory items present as "consigned in" should not be included in the client's inventory?
G When I take test counts of items, does this eliminate the need for Keystone Computers Inc. personnel to count those items?
H Do I need to count all items in the inventory?
