Audit Evidence.

Lllkkjj8y ago
Hi, When in exam question examiner asks for audit evidence : : (i) Describe FIVE types of procedures for obtaining audit evidence; and (ii) For each type of procedure, describe an example relevant to the audit of BANK balances. Since he didn't specify substantive procedures, i can us both substantive or test of controls to answer the question? For example, examiners answer for inspection: Inspect the bank reconciliation for any outstanding lodgements and agree to the pre year-end cash book, post year-end bank statement and also to paying-in-book pre year end. if i write; Inspect the YE bank reconciliation for signature to confirm that it has been carried out and reviewed. Will i get a mark

I think that is ok as audit procedures cover both tests of control and substantive tests. So the procedure types are the A E I O U list. Inspecting the bank rec for authorisation mudt be ok. You should get a mark for what you said.
