    Hello!

    I am really hoping to get a quick answer on this as the exam is tomorrow.

    As for substantive testing, is there a difference between substantive testing performed on sales and receivables – or purchases and payables?

    I hope my question is clear, all I mean is, sales and receivables are very related, is there a difference between the two when it comes to substantive testing?

    Thanks you
    Maha

    There are tests which overlap and also tests that are distinct. For example:

    Receivables: valuation is an issue, but not an issue in sales.

    Completeness: relevant to both.

    Concentrate on tackling the assertions relevant o account balances or transactions and events.
