#AreaDeficiencyStandardFlags
1Revenue and Related AccountsThe issuer used certain systems to process sales transactions and compute and record revenue and receivables. The firm selected for testing an automated control over the processing of sales transactions and computation of the final unit prices used in the determination of revenue. The firm did not test the configuration of this automated control for all types of revenue beyond observing the processing of one sales transaction for one system inquiring of management and reviewing the source code for another system. (AS 2201.42 and .44)

2Revenue and Related AccountsThe issuer used certain systems to process sales transactions and compute and record revenue and receivables. The sample sizes the firm used in certain of its substantive procedures to test revenue and receivables were too small to provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence because these procedures were designed based on a level of control reliance that was not supported due to deficiencies in the firm's control testing discussed above.
