    You can use

    Enquiry and confirmation
    Inspection
    Observation
    Recalculations and reperformance.

    If the control is someone authorising – then a test is inspecting the document for a signature or a stamp showing authorisation

    If the control is inspecting goods as they arrive, then observe staff doing that.

    If the control is a bank reconciliation then inspect some, reperform one.

    Once you have a control testing that it is operating correctly follows naturally.
