Special Audit of a Cinema
While auditing
the accounts of a Cinema, the following points will receive special
consideration on the part of an Auditor:
1- Auditor will examine the working of the
system of internal check in operation in the business particularly in relation
to cash receipts and payments ad un-issued tickets. He will see that un-issued
tickets are kept under proper control and the issued tickets are duly signed by
a responsible officer of the business.
2- Auditor will check the daily returns
for the tickets sold for different shows. He will see that the collections are
daily deposited into the bank. He can vouch receipts from tickets sold with the
amount of entertainment tax paid.
3- Auditor will check other sundry
receipts from contracts to supply refreshments, receipts from advertisements,
hire charges of opera glasses, space allotted for display of goods etc, with the
necessary documentary evidence available.
4- Auditor will carefully examine the film
hire contracts. He will ascertain the terms and will see that the films
purchased but not shown are properly valued and recorded. He will distinguish
film hire from film purchases.
5- Auditor will carry out a thorough
vouching of the operating expenses paid. He will see that they have been
properly allocated between capital and revenue.
6- Auditor will see that all outstanding
liabilities have duly been provided for and that adequate provision has been
made for depreciation of buildings, furniture, machines and other assets.
