, INSTRUCTIONAL NOTES

CLIENT ACCEPTANCE:
The Winery at Chateau Americana



INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES
 Understand types of information used to evaluate a prospective audit client
 Evaluate background information about an entity and key members of management
 Brainstorm relevant financial and non-financial factors related to client acceptance
 Perform and evaluate preliminary analytical procedures
 Make and justify a client acceptance decision
 Describe matters that should be included in an engagement letter

KEY FACTS
 Chateau Americana (CA) is a family-owned winery that is currently considering whether to hire a
new public accounting firm.
 Current year sales - $21,945,000; net income - $1,997,000; total assets - $42,029,000.
 CA operates a 125-acre vineyard which yields one-fourth of the winery’s production needs. CA is a
modest winery with annual production of 385,000 cases of wine.
 The wine industry is a fragmented industry with more than 8,000 wineries in the United States.
 Most key management positions are held by members of the Summerfield family. The exception to
this rule is Rob Breeden, the CFO.
 The winery implemented a new accounting information system some fourteen months ago. There has
been some employee turnover as a result of the new system.
 Discussions with the predecessor auditor, William Lawson, revealed no significant disagreements
with management; however, Mr. Lawson indicated that Rob Breeden was “more aggressive” than the
winery’s former CFO.
