Chapter 13 Flashcards
Evaluations of financial information through analysis of plausible relationships among financial and nonfinancial data
Analytical Procedures
The combination of types of tests to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence for a cycle; there are likely to be variations in the mix from cycle to cycle depending on the circumstances of the audit
Evidence Mix
Combination of tests of controls, substantive tests of transactions, analytical procedures, and tests of details of balances performed in response to risks of material misstatement identified by the auditors risk assessment procedure
Further Audit Procedures
The four aspects of a complete audit 1) plan and design an audit approach, 2) perform tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions, 3) perform analytical procedures and tests of details of balances, and 4) complete the audit and issue an audit report
Phases of the Audit Process
Procedures used by the auditor to gather evidence about the design and implementation of specific controls
Procedures to Obtain an Understanding of Internal Control
Audit procedures designed to test for dollar misstatements of financial statement balances
Substantive Tests
Audit procedures testing for monetary misstatements to determine whether the six transaction-related audit objectives have been satisfied for each class of transaction
Substantive Tests of Transactions
Audit procedures to test the effectiveness in controls in support of a reduced control risk
Tests of Controls
Audit procedures testing for monetary misstatements to determine whether the eight balance-related audit objectives have been satisfied for each significant account balance
Tests of Details of Balances
The five categories of audit tests auditors use ti determine whether financial statements are fairly states: risk assessment procedures, tests of controls, substantive tests of transactions, analytical procedures, and tests of details of balances
Types of Tests
Focus on both the Blank and Blank of internal control are used to assess control risk
Design and Implementation
Types of evidence for Tests of Controls
Make inquiries of appropriate client personnel, Examine documents, records, and reports, observe control-related activities, and reperformance of client procedures
Tests of Controls depends on two things
(1) The extent of evidence obtained in gaining the understanding of internal control and (2) The planned reduction in control risk
Often referred to as monetary tests
Substantive Tests
The two most important purposes of analytical procedures in the audit of account balance are
(1) Indicate possible misstatements in the financial statements and (2) Provide substantive evidence
Types of evidence for the tests of control audit procedure
Inspection, Observation, Inquiries of the Client, and Reperfromance
Types of evidence for the substantive tests of transactions audit procedures
Inspections, Inquiries of the Client, Reperformance, and Recalculation
Types of evidence for the analytical procedures audit procedures
Inquiries of the client and analytical procedures
Types of evidence for the tests of details of balances audit procedures
Physical examination, Confirmation, Inspection, Inquiries of the Client, Reperformance, and Recalculation
Types of tests in order of increasing cost
Analytical procedures, risk assessment procedures, tests of controls, substantive tests of transactions, and tests of details of balances
An exception in a test of control only indicates the likelihood of BLANK
Misstatements affecting the dollar value of the financial statements
An exception in a substantive test of transaction or a test of details of balances is BLANK
A financial misstatement
Exceptions in tests of controls are called
Control test deviations
Analytical procedures only indicate BLANK
The likelihood of misstatements affecting the dollar value of the financial statements
4 step approach to reduce assessed control risk
(1) Apply the transaction-related audit objectives to the class of transactions being tested, (2) Identify key controls that should reduce control risk of each transaction related audit objective, (3) develop appropriate tests of controls for all internal controls used to reduce primary assessment of control risk below maximum, and (4) design appropriate substantive tests of transactions for potential misstatements
If the results of the tests of controls, substantive tests of transactions, and substantive analytical procedures are not consistent with the prediction then BLANK
Auditors will need to change the tests of details of balances as the audit progresses
Each of the factors that affect the tests of details of balances are
Subjective
