Suggested Hints to CA Final Advanced Auditing Paper

Thanks a lot sir........

Sir can question No. 1(b) of New Course be answered with reference to following Guidance Note to AS 9 :

Guidance Note on
Recognition of Revenue by Real Estate Developers


3. The real estate sales take place in a variety of ways and may be subject to different terms and conditions as specified in the agreement for sale. Accordingly, the point of time at which all
significant risks and rewards of ownership can be considered as transferred, is required to be determined on the basis of the terms and conditions of the agreement for sale. In case of real
estate sales, the events, such as, transfer of legal title to the buyer or giving possession of real estate to the buyer under an agreement for sale, usually, provide an evidence to the effect that all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. It may, however, be noted that in case of real estate sales, the seller usually enters into an agreement for sale with
the buyer at initial stages of construction. This agreement for sale is also considered to have the effect of transferring all significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer provided the
agreement is legally enforceable and subject to the satisfaction of all the following conditions which signify transferring of significant risks and rewards even though the legal title is not transferred or the possession of the real estate is not given to the buyer:

(a) The significant risks related to the real estate have been transferred to the buyer;
in case of real estate sales, price risk is generally considered to be one of the most
significant risks.
(b) The buyer has a legal right to sell or transfer his interest in the property, without
any condition or subject to only such conditions which do not materially affect his
right to benefits in the property.

4. Once the seller has transferred all the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and other conditions for recognition of revenue specified in paragraphs 10 and 11 of AS 9 are satisfied, any further acts on the real estate performed by the seller are, in substance, performed on behalf of the buyer in the manner similar to a contractor. Accordingly, in case the seller is obliged to perform any substantial acts after the transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership, revenue is recognised by applying the percentage of completion method in the manner explained in AS 7, Construction Contracts.

Yes, it can be answered with reference to the Guidance Note but alongwith cross reference to AS 7
