professor when we are asked to write substantive procedures, is that true we will not get full marks, if most of our procedures are analytical substantive procedures?
What is a RELEVANT substantive procedure will depend on the specifics: – Class of transactions or account balance – Risk of misstatement/Assertions at risk – Need for SUFFICIENT appropriate evidence – i.e. from different sources.
Therefore thinking about the possible RANGE of evidence gathering procedures “AEIOU” and not just “A” should help you give a far better answer than one that considers only “A” and may not be very suitable (!)
