About this simulation

A 90-minute, 4-round Express simulation on the US GAAP year-end close and the external audit, for courses in intermediate financial accounting, auditing and CPA-exam preparation (FAR and AUD).

Tallgrass Controls (a fictional building-controls manufacturer in Omaha, Nebraska, with 240 million dollars of revenue and a bank loan that requires audited statements within 120 days): as a first-year staff accountant you take the company through its 2027 close and audit.

You recognize a bundled contract and distributor rebates and returns under ASC 606, recognize and classify a headquarters lease and a lease hidden in a logistics contract under ASC 842, set the materiality and the pre-audit test that anticipate the auditor, and decide which proposed adjustments to book, how to answer a control deficiency and what to sign in the representation letter.

Scored on the misstatement left uncorrected, the audit findings, the days to issue against the bank deadline and the cost over budget.
