    If We’re specifically asked in the question for Substantive procedures ”AT YEAR END” over completeness of provisions/contingent liab

    Then we shouldn’t suggest ”post y/e payments tests” as this isn’t Question’s requirement?

    You would have to cite me a question but it’s important to distinguish between procedures “at” the year-end – meaning ON the year-end date and procedures on balances “AS AT” the y/e.

    For example – attendance at a physical count is generally performed exactly on the y/e date – but external confirmation procedures although based on balances “as at” the reporting date will not be carried out shortly after the y/e.

    Verification of payments after the reporting date is such a fundamental procedure for the completeness assertion that I cannot imagine a question would preclude this being a point in the answer.

    June 2010- 1 d.

    S.P for inventory valuation is testing post y/e receipts and invoices means that for provisions’ completeness we can do that too!

    Absolutely – inventory won’t be valued ON the y/e date – only counted.
