    Test of details basically means
    INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS/RECORDS
    PHYSICAL VERIFICATION
    OBSERVATION
    ENQUIRY
    CONFIRMATION
    RE-CALCULATION
    REPERFORMANCE
    ANALYTICAL REVIEW

    Is that right ?

    Analytical review is not a test of detail – it uses ‘whole figures’ to work out ratios and comparisons. The rest can be tests of control or tests of detail. A test of detail looks at individual amounts and postings (eg the auditor traces fromm invoices to payables ledger), not controls.
