    Dear Tutor,

    in the technical article about audit procedures the author lists some “statements” that should be avoided. Could you please help me with the following statement to avoid. I think I need some more explanation.

    “Stating an assertion word as a reason for performing a procedure – for example, ‘confirming the occurrence of sales”

    I don’t know what was meant. For example, the examiner’s report of Dec 2011 states:

    • “Obtain a written representation from management confirming the completeness of the provision”- this would have scored 1 mark as it clearly states what is required from management, and in relation to which balance and for which assertion.

    Seems to me the examiner might have a different view to the author.

    I want to ask that what is the difference between “audit procedures” and “substantive procedures”?

    The term ‘audit procedures’ covers every type of test the auditor carries out, both tests of control and substantive tests (substantive tests).
