Note that #1-4 are not actually considered misstatements anymore, but rather presentation items required to be in compliance with their reporting package requirements which we do not believe is in compliance with U.S. GAAP. For this year, we will just highlight these items in our clearance memo, but will not classify these items as misstatements for w/p 2340 purposes.
Audit of Statutory F/S:
1. Overstatement in inventories because inventories are not valued at lower of cost or NRV
2. Overstatement in inventories because loss from writing down cost of inventories (brite) not recorded.
3. Understatement in inventories because pineapples which are still not harvested are not capitalized as inventories as at year end
4. Overstatement of allowance for obsolete inventories due to use of non-updated unit cost in determination of allowance for obsolete inventory
5. Understatement of cost of sales due to adjusting overstatement of inventories because of inappropriate classification between cost and selling and administrative expenses of prior years (2011 and 2010).
