4. Types of Tests Four basic types of test are used to ensure F/S are fairly presented –Procedures to obtain understanding of IC –Tests of Controls –Analytical procedures –Test of details of balances First 2 = aid in assessing control risk Next 2 = substantive tests Four basic types of test are used to ensure F/S are fairly presented –Procedures to obtain understanding of IC –Tests of Controls –Analytical procedures –Test of details of balances First 2 = aid in assessing control risk Next 2 = substantive tests

7. Test of Controls (review) Tests of controls are designed, in part, to determine whether the auditor’s understanding of internal control is accurate. Note: often used dual purpose test = procedures that are both test of controls and substantive procedures on the same acct balances or transaction for efficiency Tests of controls are designed, in part, to determine whether the auditor’s understanding of internal control is accurate. Note: often used dual purpose test = procedures that are both test of controls and substantive procedures on the same acct balances or transaction for efficiency

18. evidence mix? What is the evidence mix? the combination of the four types of audit tests used in the audit of a cycle

19. Evidence Mix In general, if the auditor assesses the controls and accounting system as relatively effective, the mix will involve more tests of controls and less substantive tests. Conversely, if the auditor assesses the controls and accounting system as relatively ineffective, the mix will involve less tests of controls and more substantive tests.

20. What is an audit program? Set of instructions for the audit specifically related to the collection of evidence Includes details on procedures, timing of procedures, sample sizes, items to be tested and associated assertions

21. What is an audit program? Many programs have a separate set of subaudit programs for each transaction cycle.
