Can any one define the Positive Conformation and Negative Conformation?
Is Debtor should response in both conditions?
Preference is given to ?
Positiive confirmation got two types, 1st details are included in the confirmation request. Debtor is asked to agree or disagree with the information provide. if debtors disagree, he is asked to provide explanation of why he is disagrees in the form of reconciling items.
2nd types, details are not included in the confirmation request. Debtors is asked to fill in the amt or furnish information.
Negative confirmation , this is a request that the confirming party respond directly to the auditor only if the confirming party disagrees with the information provided in the request.The positive confirmation request is preferable as it is designed to encourage definite replies from those contacted.
If in the case debtor not reply the auditor about the balance conformation ? what other audit procedure we will apply in checking the accuracy of balance ?
Positive circularisation is in common practice, but negative only exists theoretically. Negative circularisation cannot support court evidence.
Have to follow up with the debtors, phone them but permission should be taken from the mgt

Option left wil be Checking source documents whch legitimize e balance ie:
1)customer sig on GDN
2)Sales invoice tally wth gdn and rates agreed on sales order
3)bank satements for al deposits or cheques by customer with attention on discounts
4) Credit and Debit notes were with proper authorisation.Apart from e above since material misstatement is e key issure analytical proceedures culd stil b used.ie relationships of purchases to sales, then sales to credit sales. A picture from such info culd then give an impression of whether there is material mistatement as audit evidence gets gathered
In above option your guide us the way of reconciling the debtor balance.if they dun’t reply.yes ?
i want to know what if the Debtor did not reply our conformation letter,
no reply deemed that debtor is agree with balance ?- Topics: 0

Yes no reply implies agreement but remember the limitations of circularisation. To counter such, we check using e method i highlighted + analytical proceedures
