Executive Summary
The report is about TPG Telecom Limited, one of the largest telecommunication companies in Australia with a presence across the globe. In this report, we look
at the various business risk that the company has, and the material misstatement risk that arises with each of the business risks. At last, each business risk is accompanied by how they can be identified by auditors or any new person who looks to study the company.
Introduction
TPG Telecom Limited is an Australian telecommunication company which was initially formed by the merger between two companies which are Total Peripherals Group and SP Telemedia in the year 2008. Again, in august 2018, TPG and Vodafone Hutchison Australia brought in the company we see today as listed on the Australian Exchange. The company is among the largest telecommunication company in the country with a total market share of more than 25%. The company provides a host of products which includes internet, mobile phone and also accounting software. The company has gone through a series of mergers where it has been merged with several companies in the past including the most recent one where the company was merged with Vodafone to form the TPG Telecom Limited which got listed on the Australian exchange in the year 2020 after the renaming of the company to TPG Telcom Limited. The company is well diversified with most of the divisions relating to Internet services which include TPG Systems, TPG Software, TPG Boomerang TV, TPG Mobile, and AAPT. The company is the largest telecommunication with the greatest number of subscribers under its belt.
The report outlines the business risks of the company from different perspectives to see how well the company is placed and what measures the company take to mitigate those risks. The risks identified will have a substantive procedure to address the risk of misstatement that may arise because of the risk.
Business Risks
Business risks are inevitable, and it is present in every company no matter how big or small the company is, and to create a difference each company needs to identify ways to mitigate the risk. Business risk means the exposure the company has to various factors that can lower the profits or lead to the failure of the company.
The risk of material misstatement is the risk which arises due to the misstatement of a financial statement.
The business risks that can increase the risk of material misstatement at the assertion level for classes of transactions or account balances are:
1. Competitive Environment
Increasing competition in the telecom industry in the country can give rise to the risk of material misstatement from the company’s point of view because this risk is something which can decrease the revenue the company is generating which will affect the ‘Top Line, i.e., the Revenue’ in the Income Statement of the company. This risk of decrease in revenue can give rise to the material misstatement which will happen because of ill reporting of the revenues by either inflating it using various sources such as sales to subsidiaries and more. The business risk will lead to a risk of misstatement to the revenue class in the income statement of the company because the company will want to beat the competitive environment in the financial statement to protect the share price (i.e., the market value of the company has) and because of this, the company will start inflating the revenues which will cause a material misstatement.
