For the financial statement assertions of completeness, would a valid substantive test be to check that all invoices are sequentially numbered?
Thanks in advance

That would be a start, but there would need to be some assurance that the sequence of invoices was completely accounted for. Sequential numbering is only useful if accounting for the sequence is verified.

Go through and ensure all numbers/documents are accounted for.
