2. Wantok Audit Firm was planning the audit for its existing client, AB corporation. 

The audit partner was trying to determine the best audit strategy to use. AB Corporation is a small retailing company that does not have any warehouse facilities as all stock is kept on the premises. Being small, they only have a small team of staff, which makes the separation of duties principle difficult to achieve. The preliminary tests of control found that the internal control procedures are well designed, but not always observed due to the small number of staffs. Previous experience with this client also shows that controls were not always observed. Despite this, Wantok Audit Firm has never discovered a material misstatement in the accounts.
