正确答案：
(c) Impact on the audit of the financial statements
Tutorial note: The answer to this part should reflect that it is not the external auditor who is providing the internal audit
services. Thus comments regarding objectivity impairment are not relevant.
■ As Grey & Co is likely to be placing some reliance on RBG’s internal audit department in accordance with ISA 610
Considering the Work of Internal Auditing the degree of reliance should be reassessed.
■ The appointment will include an evaluation of organisational risk. The results of this will provide Grey with evidence,
for example:
– supporting the appropriateness of the going concern assumption;
– of indicators of obsolescence of goods or impairment of other assets.
■ As the quality of internal audit services should be higher than previously, providing a stronger control environment, the
extent to which Grey may rely on internal audit work could be increased. This would increase the efficiency of the
external audit of the financial statements as the need for substantive procedures should be reduced.
■ However, if internal audit services are performed on a part-time basis (e.g. fitting into the provider’s less busy months)
Grey must evaluate the impact of this on the prevention, detection and control of fraud and error.
■ The internal auditors will provide a body of expertise within RBG with whom Grey can consult on contentious matters.
Tutorial note: Appropriate credit will be given for arguing that less reliance may be placed on internal audit in this year of
change of provider.

(b) Growth may be measured in a number of ways which are as follows:
Cash flow
This is a very important measure of growth as it ultimately determines the amount of funds available for re-investment by any
business.
Sales revenue
Growth in sales revenues generated is only of real value to investors if it precipitates growth in profits.
Profitability
There are many measures relating to profit which include sales margin, earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA) and earnings per share. More sophisticated measures such as return on capital employed and residual
income consider the size of the investment relative to the level of profits earned. In general terms, measures of profitability
are only meaningful if they are used as a basis for comparisons over time or in conjunction with other measures of
performance. Growth rate in profitability are useful when compared with other companies and also with other industries.
Return on investment
A growing return upon invested capital suggests that capital is being used more and more productively. Indicators of a growing
return would be measured by reference to dividend payment and capital growth.
Market share
Growth in market share is generally seen as positive as it can generate economies of scale.
Number of products/service offerings
Growth is only regarded as useful if products and services are profitable.
Number of employees
Measures of productivity such as value added per employee and profit per employee are often used by shareholders in
assessing growth. Very often an increased headcount is a measure of success in circumstances where more people are
needed in order to deliver a service to a required standard. However it is incumbent on management to ensure that all
employees are utilised in an effective manner.
It is a widely held belief that growth requires profits and that growth produces profits. Profits are essential in order to prevent
a company which has achieved growth from becoming a target for a take-over or in a worse case scenario goes into
liquidation. Hence it is fundamental that a business is profitable throughout its existence. Growth accompanied by growth in
profits is also likely to aid the long-term survival of an organisation. CSG operates in Swingland which experiences fluctuations
in its economic climate and in this respect the exploitation of profitable growth opportunities will help CSG to survive at the
expense of its competitors who do not exploit such opportunities.
Note: Alternative relevant discussion and examples would be accepted.

正确答案：
(iii) Flexibility may relate to the company being able to cope with flexibility of volume, delivery speed or job specification. In
this particular context, flexibility appears to have been problematic for HLP as evidenced by the fact that 320
consultations relating to commercial were subcontracted during the year. This could be due to the lack of the ability of
HLP advisors to be able to provide consultations to a potentially wide-range of commercial clients, i.e. the variability in
the ‘job specification’ requires greater flexibility than HLP can deliver. Furthermore, a total of 600 consultations relating
to litigation work were also subcontracted throughout the year. These subcontract consultations might be due to the
inability of HLP to deal with fluctuations in demand.
