You have recently been appointed as the business manager of Houzit Pty Ltd having been
a store manager for the past three years. Houzit Pty Ltd is a 15 store retail chain located
in Brisbane. Houzit is the leading homewares retailer, catering to the growing need for
furnishing new and renovated dwellings in the greater Brisbane area.
The assortment on offer of bathroom fittings, bedroom fittings, mirrors and decorative
items together with the recently added lighting fixtures has positioned Houzit as a leader
in homewares retailing in Australia. Houzit has grown over the past five years from a
single store to the current chain. Houzit prides itself on superior after sales service which
has been a key reason for the continued growth in sales and corresponding profit
increases. Today Houzit employs over 150 staff.
Houzit Pty Ltd is a proprietary limited company (ACN 34 765 234 02) registered with the
Australian Securities and Investment Commission. The registered address is with Houzits
solicitors (Langs Lawyers, 535 Queen Street, Brisbane, QLD 4000) and the principle place
of business is 505 Boundary Street Spring Hill Brisbane QLD 4000.
Computer software requirement
The current accounting information system has not adequately provided sufcient
analysis of revenue and expenditure and has made it difcult to make informed
estimates of future profits. Estimates have relied on the gut feel of the experienced
traders on the board and of the senior managers. The board sees the need to apply more
analysis to past results that they believe could be done with the introduction of state-ofthe-art computer software.
Houzit Pty Ltd wants to upgrade their existing accounting system which will manage the
company accounts more efciently in the long run. They request that the new system
you recommend to them to be compliant with all legislative and statutory requirements
for small to medium businesses.
None of Houzits products are GST free however the accounting information system
records the GST collected as well as the input tax credits earned on the purchases of
stock and assets. These amounts are reported and paid in accordance with the business
activity statement (BAS) schedule determined by the Australian Tax Ofce.
They have 100 fulltime and 50 part-time staff, but only 10 of the staff will have or need
access to the financial system. Some staff are paid on a salary sacrifice arrangement that
attracts fringe benefits tax. The staff with access to the financial system want software
that is a single purchase with no ongoing license fees, and a plan to keep using if for the
next 35 years, while the organisation continues to grow. They are anticipating that
within five years they will have over 250 full-time staff, and at least 20 staff will require
access to the financial system by then.

The payroll system deducts withholding tax from the employees and remits this along
with the firms pay as you go (PAYG) instalment each quarter as reported on the firms
business activity statement. Income tax return for the company and its annual statement
is completed by the firms accountant. Taxes and fees due are paid by the due dates.
Financial records are kept at Houzits principle place of business.
Houzit have just upgraded their computers and have five new desktop PCs which will be
used by the finance staff. They are current (for 2010) specification machines with i5 CPUs
and 4Gb RAM each, and all have Windows 7 Professional and Nortons 360 installed with
the professional version of Microsoft Ofce Small Business as well. Other staff will use
their machines at various times, so it is important that the software requires a login to
access data and that data stored by the software cannot be accessed in any other way.
Corporate Details
Jim Schneider, the CEO, has asked you to prepare some financial budgets for the 2011/12
financial year as a preliminary overview of the financial year ahead. He asked you to first
prepare a 12 months budget and then break it up over the four quarters. The areas he is
particularly interested in seeing is:
1. Sales budget for 2011/12 by department by quarter.
2. Profit budget (including detailed expenses) for 2011/12 by quarter.
3. The cash flow result per quarter of the GST after adjusting the GST collected by
the allowable GST tax credits.
4. The anticipated aged debtors summary at the end of each quarter.

The CEO wants to be given all the budgets except for the aged debtors budget which the
accountant and accounts receivable clerk can monitor. The CEO produced a summary of
the current business plan that covered the budget year to highlight some of the key
goals, objectives and strategies he would like incorporated into the budget.

Business Plan Summary

1. The anticipation that the coming financial year would maintain the
same sales growth as the growth that took place between 2008/09 to
2009/10.
2. To budget for an increase in inflation to 4% per annum and that all
costs subject to inflation should incorporate this particular increase.
3. A new car costing $97,466 including GST has been planned for in the
coming period to replace the five year old vehicle currently used by the
chairman. This fuel inefcient car will attract a luxury car tax.
4. Sales breakup over the departments is anticipated to be bathroom
fittings 30%, bedroom fittings 25%, mirrors 15% and decorative items
10% together with the recently added lighting fixtures 20%.
5. Profits are to be built on securing a growing customer base which will
generate loyalty sales and become the refer other customers to the
organisation. The superior after-sales service is the key strategy to
achieve this.
6. Reduction on the principle of the loan by a payment of $100,000 on
the 31 December 2011 from the profits generated by the business.
7. One objective in this plan is to manage the debtors more efciently in
the current period. This will involve an analysis of the debtors to
identify ways to reduce the amount of cash tied up in outstanding
debtors.
8. The expectation that 2011/12 would be a difcult trading year but that
the budget net profit should target the same result as achieved in the
2010/11. The strategy to achieve this in the business plan included
three key elements:
a. To reduce the expected gross profit rate by 1% on the 2010/11
result in the hope that lower prices on the products would help
maintain the sales growth even in difcult trading conditions.
b. To increase the advertising budget by $70,000 over the 2010/11
results in the hope that Houzit can secure a greater market share
in a constricting market. $200,000 is planned for the first quarter
with the balance apportioned equally over the following three
quarters.
c.
To increase wages and salaries by $172,500 over the 2010/11

amounts in the hope that allowing the existing high number of casual staff to earn
commissions on sales that should help to maintain Houzits sales growth.

After going through the business plan summary, the CEO gave you the previous years
financial reports and asked you to speak with the accountant Celina Patel to get some of
the figures and detailed expectations for the coming year.
You arrange a meeting with Celina Patel, Houzits accountant, and she gives you the
following insight into the historical expense relationships and the current statutory
compliance liabilities.
Sales and Profit Budget Information:

Celina explained that the only budget she monitors on a day-to-day basis is the cash flow
budget and the store manager is primarily responsible for the sales budget.
These are the notes you take at the meeting:
The overall sales for 2011/12 target set by the business plan should be apportioned
across the quarters in the same % as was achieved in 2010/11.
This was:
Qtr 1
Qtr 2
Qtr 3

4,714,232
15,714,108
Cost of goods sold is the inverse of the gross profit rate determined by the business
plan and is determined by the quarterly sales budget.
Accounting fees have been negotiated for the year at a fixed amount of $10,000 to
be paid in equal amounts each quarter.
The interest charges on the bank loan are anticipated at a reduced amount of
$84,508 due to an agreed repayment of some of the loan principal. This is to be
paid in equal amounts each quarter.
Bank charges are expected to be the same as 2010 and paid in equal amounts each
quarter.
Celina has requested that a new expense (store supplies) be recognised in the new
budget that was previously included in with the cleaning expense amounts. Store
supplies in the 2009/10 results was $3,500 of the cleaning expense and $3,605 of
the 2010/11 result. Cleaning expense will then be lower but identify the real
labour costs involved in the cleaning expense.
Depreciation is expected to be the same as 2010 and allocated in equal amounts
each quarter.
Advertising is to be apportioned to each quarter based on the business plan.
The following expenses are expected to increase by the determined inflation rate in
the business plan summary:

Internal Auditor:
Carl Kerns is one of the directors of the board. Carl said that as a board member they are
given the profit and cash flow budgets. He was appointed by the board to conduct an
internal audit of operations to look for weaknesses in the internal control system. His
report uncovered the following processes that he believed needed to be strengthened.
While the overall customer base is increasing from year to year, there may be
internal control issues relating to how these new customers are secured.
Some discounts that were being given to customers were recorded as a net amount
on the invoices and gave no indication of the discount from standard prices.
Some cash registers in the stores were not reconciling the cash in drawer with the
register printout.
Not all timesheet overtime amounts were being authorised by the line manager.
Service invoices for some items of equipment were not signed or linked to a
purchase order. There was no check that the work had actually been carried out.
Not all assets in the stores had unique codes fixed to the asset.
There was minimal feedback lines of communication from the shop floor to head
ofce, particularly when an error in the budgeting report process was recognised.
Debtor reconciliations were not done monthly and sometimes not at all.
In busy times the cashiers that operated the registers were also asked to do their
own reconciliations and banking. Sometimes the cash was held in the store for a
day or two.

P a g e | 25
BRIGHTON
INSTITUTE
OF TECHNOLOGY
RTO No 21438
Job roles were not clearly defined so that responsibilities and liability can be
identified.
There was little rostering of duties and cash receipts were not pre-numbered.
Of particular concern to Carl was the directive given by the board to ensure that audit
trails were created and maintained. These included:
Signing the timesheets for employees under the authority of a department
manager.
Maintenance of a numbered cash receipts book.
Using sequenced cheques as a systematic way of evidencing all monies paid out.
Ensuring proper coding of evidenced transactions against appropriate general
ledger account and cost centre.
Ensuring reconciliations between company books and third party bank statements
are performed.
GST Cash Flow Budget
Statutory requirements for GST is 10% of the recorded amounts in sales. The only capital
purchase planned for the year is the luxury car for the chairman. Those expense
payments on which 10% GST was paid include the following:
Cost of goods sold:
accounting fees
insurance
store supplies
advertising
cleaning
repairs and maintenance
rent
telephone
electricity expense.
The GST amount payable each quarter is the difference between the GST collected from
sales and the GST paid format as per policy and procedures.

Scenario
The CEO of Houzit Pty Ltd, Jim Schnieder explained that he prefers to discuss the budgets
with all senior managers prior to their distribution in order to ensure a corporate view of
the strategic plans. He then meets with each group separately to answer questions and
concerns about their particular area. Eventually the budgets will be printed in hard copy
and bound as well distributed as an electronic spreadsheet.
Upon completion of the budgets you meet with Jim to provide an overview of the
information contained within the budgets, the budget notes and recommendations
regarding the internal controls to prepare him for the meetings with the senior managers.
To clarify his understanding of the information, Jim asks you a series of questions (listed
below, which you will complete written or orally as agreed with your assessor).

The matching principle is applied in preparing a budget by
making sure that the revenues for the period are matched with

Account groups are used in preparing a budget by separating
the revenue and expense accounts into the profit budgets and
the asset, liability and equity accounts into the capital budgets
like cash flow and capital expenditure.
Time periods are applied in preparing a budget by applying the
accounting assumption that a going concern can be divided into
shorter time periods of weeks, months, quarters and years for
the purpose of budgeting and reporting.

Describe implications of financial probity?
exhaustive.)
Financial probity requires the preparer of budgets to do so with
honesty, integrity and in an ethical way. This would require
objectivity and conduct that ensures that no conflict of interest
exists or is perceived to exist in the preparation of budgets.
Others must be advised to be truthful in their assessments,
responses and the documentation of financial transactions and

As Houzit is pre-empting a difcult trading year, is the budgeted
net profit in line with the result for the previous reporting period?
Advertising will be a key factor to assist in maintaining sales so
why was the first quarter such a priority with the budgeted
funds?

Evidence that you reviewed the provided case study information to develop an
evaluative report concerning the progress of the budget.
Case Study
Soon after the end of the first quarter, Jim Schneider the CEO of Houzit, asked you to
follow up with Celina Patel, Houzits accountant, to see how the actual results compared
with the budget you had prepared three months ago. You explained that you had a
meeting with Celina that afternoon to get the results and that you would report back as
soon as you had done some analysis.
The key questions that the board was most interested to have answered from the
budgets and the variance reports were:
To what extent do the reports support the view of the board that Houzit is
financially viable?
Will we be able to maintain our gross profit margins in the predicted downturn?
Jim and you both agreed that it had been a tough quarter with the economy still in
recession and the impact this was having on the retail sector. Banks are raising interest
rates in line with the increased upward international pressure and Houzit has a significant
part of their loan funds on a variable interest rate which changes directly with market
conditions. Jim was pleased that the sales seem to be holding up reasonably well as first
quarter results are generally impacted by factors relating to public and school holidays
but he was concerned about the discounts that had to be given to generate these sales.
Thats going to hurt us at some point Jim said. Just a pity we could not get
into some national magazines this quarter to promote the store offers. Im sure
that would have helped us exceed the budgets you set. I guess we will just
have to spend that advertising money in the next quarter Jim said. I still think
we are running our wages and salaries a bit high. The industry benchmark for
wages and salaries is close to 11% of sales
Jim went on to explain, One of our contingency plans in a slowing economy is
to reduce our exposure to debt by applying our profits to the repayment of the
long term debt. This will help reduce the interest burden on the business and
take some pressure off the diminishing profits. It would also be of interest to
determine the impact that our debtors has on the cash flow of the business
from 2009/10.
You are a beneficiary of the companys profit bonus scheme that is based on the
profitability of the companys financial reports which you are required to prepare. You
also prepare the departmental reports that form the basis of the performance review of
the managers. You are the manager of the finance/administration and prepare this
departments report as well.

Rising interest rates will increase costs due to the variable
interest rates held on Houzits loans.
Not all the advertising budget has been spent which can
also impact on sales figures over the coming reporting
period.
Prices discounted to generate sales may impact on gross
profit margins.
Potential issues regarding financial probity could include:
bonus share scheme a person with high financial
probity would prepare the financial reports in a totally
objective and ethical manner and not be swayed by
the personal benefits that could be gained by
adjusting the numbers inappropriately

Provide responses for performance that reflect the following?
exhaustive.)
Profitable quarter that is ahead of expectations, but is still a
low margin for the quarter. Recommend that this margin is
carefully considered in future periods to ensure that they
are more substantial and are building towards an annual
margin in alignment with previous years.
Wages and salaries a little high with 12.2% at Houzit as a %
of sales, however the industry average is more like 11%.
Concern over drop in gross profit (GP) %. Net profit should
have been much better given the $50,000 saving in
advertising.
Average time for debtors to pay accounts is increasing;
