audit evidence obtained indirectly or by inference is indirect confirmation its less reliable than the opposite one(obtained directly by the auditor)
The negative form of confirmation asks the client’s customer to respond only if the customer disagrees with the balance determined by the client.
Positive ask for response in any case whether client agrees or disagreesDirect evidence – collected by the auditor e.g. a substantive procedure carried out by the audit junior
Indirect evidence – evidence collected by someone but the auditor – e.g. internal audit fuction, experts etc…
Direct evidence is more relaible and hence “appropriate”
Remember the auditor has to collect “sufficient appropriate evidence”
