−Removed: • We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of management’s methods used in developing its cost estimates.
−Removed: • We inquired of those directly involved with the certification of the aircraft to evaluate the challenges and timeline to achieve certification, which may affect total estimated costs.
−Removed: • We evaluated communications with regulatory bodies for information contradictory with management’s certification timeline assumptions.
−Removed: • We tested the effectiveness of internal controls, including those over the review of significant judgments made and assumptions used to develop key estimates, key data used in developing the estimates and the mathematical extrapolation of such data.
−Removed: Program Accounting Revenue Estimates for the 787 Program — Refer to Notes 1, 7, and 22 to the financial statements
−Removed: Critical Audit Matter Description
−Removed: Production quality issues and supply chain disruption for the 787 program have resulted in increased risk associated with forecasted revenue estimates primarily due to the difficulty in assessing the value of consideration expected to be provided to customers as a result of delivery delays.
−Removed: The Company uses program accounting to compute cost of sales and margin for each commercial airplane sold.
−Removed: The use of program accounting requires estimating the revenue expected to be earned upon delivery of the aircraft included in the program’s accounting quantity.
−Removed: While the 787 program resumed deliveries in 2022, the forecasted delivery schedule and the value of the consideration expected to be provided to customers for delivery delays continue to be key factors that affect estimated revenue.
−Removed: There is estimation uncertainty related to the revenue forecasts of aircraft which have reached or are expected to reach a delivery delay period that provides the customer with a contractual termination right.
−Removed: Changes to the expected delivery schedule could result in additional consideration to customers.
−Removed: This could result in lower margins or material reach-forward losses.
−Removed: Auditing the estimated revenues for the 787 program involved extensive audit effort, a high degree of auditor judgment, and required professionals with specialized industry experience.
+Added: The use of program accounting requires estimating the costs over the expected life of each program.
+Added: In particular, the level of effort to meet regulatory requirements and achieve certification may be challenging to predict, including potential delays in the timing of achieving certification that would delay entry into service and corresponding increases in estimated costs.
+Added: Changes to the cost estimates related to regulatory requirements to achieve certification could occur, resulting in lower margins or material reach-forward losses.
+Added: Auditing these estimated costs for the 777X program involved extensive audit effort, a high degree of auditor judgment, and required audit professionals with specialized industry experience.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
−Removed: Our audit procedures related to the estimated revenues for the 787 program included the following, among others:
−Removed: • We inquired of management, including operational and supply chain leadership, to assess the assumptions related to the supply chain disruption impacts on the delivery schedule and the estimated timeline for completion of rework.
−Removed: • We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of management’s method used in developing the delivery schedule assumptions, including the impact of production quality issues and supply chain disruption.
−Removed: • We inquired of management, including individuals responsible for sales and pricing, to evaluate the status of current contracts with customers and estimated consideration to be provided to customers.
−Removed: • We evaluated the consistency of management’s methods and the appropriateness of significant assumptions used in developing its estimates related to forecasted revenue for aircraft which have or are expected to have delivery delays.
−Removed: • We tested the effectiveness of internal controls, including those over the review of significant judgments made and assumptions used to develop key estimates, key data used in developing the estimates and the mathematical extrapolation of such data.
+Added: Our audit procedures related to the estimated costs for the 777X program included the following, among others:
+Added: • We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of management’s methods used in developing its cost estimates related to regulatory requirements to achieve certification.
+Added: • We performed procedures to evaluate new changes in estimated costs driven by changes in regulatory requirements to achieve certification.
+Added: • We evaluated the timeline of key events and knowledge points that informs management’s determination to change the cost estimate related to regulatory requirements to achieve certification.
+Added: • We inquired of those directly involved with the certification of the aircraft to evaluate project status and challenges which may affect total estimated costs to certify the aircraft.
+Added: • We obtained and evaluated communications with regulatory bodies for consistency between management’s certification timeline assumptions and cost estimates related to regulatory requirements.
+Added: • We tested the effectiveness of internal controls, including those over the data used in developing the cost estimates, the mathematical extrapolation of such data, and management’s judgment regarding the range of possible outcomes relating to the specific cost estimates in the current regulatory environment.
