    CASE 2: GREENYIELD AGRI CO-OP
    GreenYield Agri Co-op is a large agricultural cooperative specializing in organic crop production and livestock. You are the audit senior. The year-end is 31 December 2025. GreenYield uses an independent agronomist to value its biological assets. During the year, a new computerized inventory system was implemented. The audit team is planning the inventory count attendance and evaluating the reliability of the agronomist's report.

    Regarding the year-end inventory count of livestock, which of the following is the primary responsibility of the auditor?

    Answer options:

    A.

    To organize and conduct the physical counting of the livestock.

    B.

    To observe management's count procedures, evaluate their effectiveness, and perform test counts.

    C.

    To determine the fair value less costs to sell of the livestock during the count.

    D.

    To ensure that all livestock are tagged with RFID chips before the count begins.

    How to approach this question

    Differentiate between management's responsibility (doing the count) and the auditor's responsibility (observing and testing).

    Full Answer

    B.To observe management's count procedures, evaluate their effectiveness, and perform test counts.✓ Correct
    According to ISA 501 Audit Evidence - Specific Considerations for Selected Items, when inventory is material, the auditor shall obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the existence and condition of inventory by attending the physical inventory counting. The auditor's role is to observe compliance with management's procedures and perform test counts, not to conduct the primary count.

    Common mistakes

    Believing the auditor is responsible for actually counting the inventory in full.
