Ask the Tutor ACCA AA

substantive testing

MAMr. Aboukar4y ago
Hello, kim hope u are doing god. Subtractive testing over completeness of the purchases: Inspect the unmatched GRN file and seek explanations for any old unmatched items and trace these to the year-end accruals listing. sir, how does tracing unmatched GRN to accruals listing help test completeness of purchases. thanks in advance

I think the short answer to your question is because the double entry to record the accrual is: Dr Purchases Cr Goods-received-not-invoiced accrual To confirm completeness of recording credit entries must necessarily confirm completeness of recording corresponding debits (unless trial balance doesn't balance! which is why it is so important as a control mechanism).

You're very welcome! By the way, advance warning, I am away from tomorrow for a long weekend, wedding celebration with little/no internet access, so I may not be able to reply to posts after today until Tuesday.
