What is the difference between assertion level and financial statement level? Which comes first?Which is of more importance than the other?What does each focus on?
May 21, 2013 at 10:42 am #126447Oh dear 🙁
Are you going to make me look this up in an approved text? Could you not find out the answer to this one on your own?

May 23, 2013 at 2:08 pm #126869Assertion is given by directors , in simplest words giving assertion is to say ” We think the amount and account balances in the financial statement are true” , Auditors are there to verify their assertion by means of collecting sufficient and appropriate evidence supporting the assertions.
Dont know what you do you mean by financial statement level? are you talking about risks?May 23, 2013 at 4:14 pm #126904Thanks Muhammed – I was going down the same route.
Kings and Queens ….. !!!
:-))
There, is that better?
May 23, 2013 at 4:59 pm #126922If I may add:
FS level is gathering evidence to support the figures in the financial statements as a whole considering materiality, IFRS presentation, true and fair etc. as these concepts apply to the overall FS.“Which comes first?Which is of more importance than the other?What does each focus on?”
I can’t see why you would get excited about these as I hardly see any relevance to a P7 requirement.
Concentrate on those things that will give you a pass.Hope this helps
May 23, 2013 at 5:19 pm #126924Thank you that helped
May 24, 2013 at 6:40 am #126983How is it possible that anyone could not get excited about everything to do with advanced auditing?
June 14, 2015 at 6:20 am #256780can anyone please explain me about the risk at the FS level?? explain with a simple example
June 14, 2015 at 4:09 pm #256827Are there any figures in the financial statements that could be materially misstated? surely, that’s risk at the financial statement level
