    Substantive procedures are tests to obtain audit evidence to detect material misstatements in
    the financial statements. They are generally of two types:
    ???? Analytical procedures
    ???? Tests of detail of transactions, account balances and disclosures
    The types of substantive tests carried out to obtain evidence about various financial statement assertions

    the above is from the text book, however, the way i think of substantive procedures versus test of controls is that substantive test deal with account balances while TOC deals with procedures and authorisations.
