Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and explain your reasoning.   a) Monica Callahan, the in-charge auditor, was explaining to her junior auditors why she was setting inherent risk high. “It is appropriate to set higher inherent risk for this company as our client is in an industry that is very competitive.”   b) In selecting an appropriate materiality base, an auditor can choose an item from the balance sheet or income statement.   c) Randy Roberts has mentioned to his staff auditors that audit risk is based on factors that relate to the entity, while materiality is based on the user needs.

Bill Dodds was the accounts payable manager of Big Build Property Management Ltd. Bill started with the company as a bookkeeper and worked up to his current management position. He was promoted due to his dedication to the company and his reliability – he often worked evenings and weekends, rarely called in sick, and he never took holidays. Despite making a good wage, Bill enjoyed living large, and the majority of his paycheque went to pay for his luxury car and designer clothes. As Bill was living paycheque to paycheque he was disappointed he did not have a “nest egg” set aside for retirement or emergency purposes.   Big Build Property Management had a history of profitability. To reward its employees, the company had established a bonus scheme for meeting profit targets. It was a shock to all employees when at the end of 2022, the company announced it had had the worst year in the company’s history. The losses were significant and the company planned significant lay-offs in an attempt to turn this situation around. As a result, the accounting department was reduced by 35%, and the remaining staff was asked to do more. Bill found not only was he managing an unhappy accounts payable group, he was also now signing cheques, processing payables, and reconciling the bank account. This meant Bill was required to work even more without any pay increase or bonus in sight. For the first time in his career at Big Build, Bill was unhappy. While he was fearful further lay-offs may be coming, he also felt unappreciated and after all of his hard work, he was unhappy he was being asked to do more.   Required: Discuss the incentives, opportunities, and rationalizations to commit fraud in this case.
