Analytical procedures are basically comparisons and ratios. That can give no evidence about the operatoin of a control such as whether or not a bank reconciliation is carried out regularly. However, you could inspect bank recs, observe one being done (unlikely), recalculate/reperform one to make sure the control was exercised properly.
