Sitting F8 next week – could anyone explain the distinction between audit procedures at ‘FS level’…and at ‘Assertion level’……by my understanding we are performing substantive audit procedures to test the FS assertions (completeness, cut-off, etc, etc) ….what is an audit procedure at FS level if it is not testing the assertion…..
Assertion level: you are examining each material figure in the FS to test its assertions. However, there could still be problems at the FS level such as:
Incorrect disclosures
Wrong going-concern assumptions
Several small errors at the assertion level adding up to be material.
Looked at as a whole, do the FS show a true and fair view?
thanks … that makes a lot of sense… i have been really struggling to find out the difference
