CHAPTER-2 (BASIC CONCEPTS IN AUDITING)

AUDIT EVIDENCE AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE TRUE AND FAIR VIEW

Meaning: Any information, verbal or written obtained by the auditor on which he bases his opinion.

Objective: Audit evidence is one of the basic principles and requires that the auditor should obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence through the performance of compliance and substantive procedures to enable him to draw reasonable conclusions there from on which to base his opinion on the financial statements.

Sufficient and Appropriate Audit Evidence: Sufficiency of evidence refers to quantum of evidence; and appropriateness refers to relevance and reliability.

Types of Audit Evidence: • Depending upon its source may be classified as: Internal,

and External. • Depending upon nature, may be classified as: Visual,

Documentary, and Oral Evidence Reliability of Audit Evidence:

(a) External evidence is usually more reliable than internal evidence.

(b) Internal evidence will be more reliable, when related internal controls are satisfactory

(c) Evidence obtained by the auditor himself is more reliable than evidence obtained from entity.

(d) Documentary evidences are more reliable than oral representations.

Audit procedures: A) Compliance B) Substantive A) Existence, Effectiveness & Continuity of the control system) B) Completeness, Accuracy & Validity of data produced by the

accounting system) i) Vouching & Verification ii) Analytical Review Procedures

Methods of Obtaining Audit Evidence: Inspection, Observation, Inquiry and confirmation, Computation and Analytical Review.

SA-200 Independence implies that the judgment of a person is not subordinate to the wishes or directions of another person who might have engaged him. It stipulates that the independence is a condition of minds and personal character and should not be confused with the visible standards of independence. Visibility: “Independence of auditors must not only exist infact, but should also appear to exist to all reasonable persons”.

Objective: The main objective of an independent audit is to lend credibility to financial information contained in financial statements by expressing an independent opinion. According to Sec-226 of companies law these are not authorized as auditor: a) Employer b) Security Holder c) Indebtness > Rs.

1000/-

The phrase “true and fair” in the auditor's report signifies that the auditor is required to express his opinion as to whether the state of affairs and the results of the entity as ascertained by him in the course of his audit are truly and fairly represented in the accounts under audit.

What constitutes “true and fair” has not been defined in the legislation.

In specific terms to ensure truth and fairness, an auditor has to see:

(i) that the assets and liabilities are neither undervalued or overvalued;

(ii) the charge on assets, if any, is disclosed;

(iii) accounting policies have been followed consistently;

(iv) all unusual, exceptional, non recurring items have been disclosed separately;

(v) Accounts have been drawn as per requirement of Schedule VI to the Companies Act & AS.

MATERIALITY SA-320 DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES AS – 1)

AS-1 - Material items are “items, the knowledge of which might influence the decisions of the users of the financial statements. Information is material if its mis-statement could influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial information. Factors influencing materiality: Materiality may be influenced by

Legal and regulatory requirements Considerations which may have a significant

bearing on the financial information, and Considerations relating to individual account

balances and relationships. Relation in audit materiality & audit risk: INVERSE High Material error: Low Audit risk Low Material error: High Audit risk

Auditor has to show separately which are material in book

Materiality can be judged from two items: P&L or B/Sheet AND with comparison from last year.

1) Meaning of Accounting Policies: Specific accounting principles and the method of applying those principles in the preparation & presentation of financial statements.

2) Factors affecting accounting policies: Prudence, Substance over form and Materiality

3) Fundamental Accounting Assumptions: Going Concern, Consistency and Accrual\

4) Areas in which different accounting policies may be encountered: Method of depreciation, Treatment of expenditure during construction Valuation of inventories, Treatment of goodwill, Valuation of investment etc.

AUDIT PLANNING AUDITOR’S ENGAGEMENT: KNOWLEDGE OF CLIENT BUSINESS

Scope of Audit Planning: Plans should be made to cover, among other things

the followings: Acquiring knowledge of client’s business; Establishing the expected degree of reliance to be

placed on internal control; Determining the nature, timing and extent of the

audit procedures to be performed; Coordinating the work to be performed.

Objectives of Audit Planning: Adequate audit planning facilitates: Devoting appropriate attention to important areas of

the audit; Prompt identification of potential problems; Expeditious completion of work; Coordination of work done by other auditors &

experts. Documentation of Audit Plan: The auditor should document his overall plan. And develop the audit Programme.

The auditor should send an engagement letter to the client, before the commencement of the engagement, to help avoid any misunderstanding with respect to the engagement. It generally include reference to: (a) Objective of audit of

financial statements. (b) Management’s

responsibility regarding the followings:

(c) Scope of Audit (d) Test nature of audit and

inherent limitations of non-detection of some material misstatement resulting from fraud.

(e) Unrestricted access to records, documentation and other information required.

Knowledge of the business is a frame of reference within which the auditor exercises professional judgment. The auditor can obtain knowledge of the industry and the entity from a number of sources. For example:

Previous experience with the entity and its industry,

discussion with people with the entity (for example, directors & operating personnel),

discussion with internal audit personnel; and

review of internal audit reports, etc.

AUDIT NOTE BOOK AUDIT TECHNIQUES CONTINUOUS AUDIT: AUDIT SAMPLING

An audit note book is usually a bound book in which a large variety of matters observed during the course of audit are recorded. Audit note book form part of audit working papers and for each year a fresh audit note book is maintained

Methods and means adopted by an auditor for collection and evaluation of audit evidence in different auditing situations. For Example: physical examination, confirmation, inquiry, calculation of ratios; etc.

Concurrent audit, thus, aims to examine transactions almost instantaneously as soon as the transaction occurs leading to shortening of the time interval between a transaction and its examination by an independent person not involved in its documentation.

The application of audit procedures to less than 100% of the items within an account balance or class of transactions to enable the auditor to obtain and evaluate audit evidence about some characteristic of the items selected in order to form or assist in forming a conclusion concerning the population. Methods of Sampling:

Random Sampling, Systematic Sampling Haphazard Sampling.

QUALITY CONTROL FOR AUDIT WORK SURPRISE CHECK: REPRESENTATION BY MANAGEMENT

AAS-17, "Quality Control for Audit Work" requires that the audit firm should implement quality control policies and procedures designed to ensure that all audits are conducted in accordance with Statements on Auditing and Assurance Standards (AASs).

Surprise checks are mainly intended to ascertain whether the internal control system is working effectively, and whether all accounting and other records are kept up to date and as per the statutory regulations. Such checks and surprise visit can exercise good moral checks on the client's staff.

Management representation constitutes audit evidence furnished by management to auditor in respect of any transaction entered into by the entity. Management Representation is of great use to the auditor when other sufficient appropriate audit evidence cannot reasonably be expected to exist.

TEST CHECKING AUDIT RISK:

Audit procedure wherein an audit is conducted on the basis of a part checking. Precautions in the application of test-checking techniques: • Appropriate classification and stratification of the transactions. • Sequential study of transactions from beginning to end • Evaluation of efficiency and soundness internal control system • Biasness should not enter into the selection. • Identification of the areas where test check may not be done. • The number of transactions to be selected should be

predetermined.

Items not suitable for test-checking: • Opening and closing entries. • Bank reconciliation statement. • Balance sheet items. • Matters involving estimation as well as computation, e.g.,

depreciation, royalty, etc. • Transactions which may be small in number but may be

important and material. • Transactions which are recognized by law to be looked into by

the auditor carefully, e.g., managerial remuneration, etc. • In case of seasonal industry, the auditor should not resort to

test checking on annual basis. • Transactions of non-recurring nature or exceptional transactions

may not be conducive for test checking.

Audit risk is the risk that an auditor may give an inappropriate opinion on financial information which is materially misstated. COMPONENTS OF AUDIT RISK:

•nherent risk,

•ontrol Risk

•etection Risk.

The inherent and control risks are functions of the entity’s business and its environment and the nature of the account balances or classes of transactions, regardless of whether an audit is conducted. Even though inherent and control risks cannot be controlled by the auditor, the auditor can assess them and design his substantive procedures to produce on acceptable level of detection risk, thereby reducing audit risk to an acceptable low level. Elaboration in simple way: Inherent: Susceptibility of transaction to be record wrongly or fraudulent activity of mgmt. Control: Material, but would not be prevented or quickly detected by the mgmt. control. Detection: Risk, which is not detected by the auditor. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATERIALITY AND AUDIT RISK There is an inverse relationship between Materiality and the degree of audit risk. Higher the materiality level, the lower the audit risk and vice-versa.

DOCUMENTATION:

Recording of important observations and information in a systematic manner to enable formation of audit conclusions at the end of audit

PROCEDURES VS AUDIT TECHNIQUE:

Procedures are a BROAD term while audit technique is method to carrying on the procedures.

Procedures require an examination of documentary evidence. This job is performed by the other procedures known as vouching which include techniques of inspection & checking of documentary evidence.

CHAPTER-4 (INTERNAL CONTROL)

INTERNAL CONTROL INTERNAL CHECK INTERNAL AUDIT:

System of internal control may be defined as the plan of organization, and all the methods and procedures adopted by the management of an entity to assist in achieving management's objective

Review of Internal Control by mgmt: It is required to ascertain: • Whether the prescribed management

policies are being properly interpreted by the employees and are faithfully implemented.

• Whether the prescribed procedures need a revision because of changed circumstances or whether they have becomes obsolete or cumbersome.

• Whether effective measures are taken promptly when the system appears to break down.

Review of Internal Control by Auditor: The auditor’s objective in studying and evaluating internal controls is to establish the reliance he can place thereon in determining the nature, timing and extent of his substantive audit procedures. Methods of collecting information: Narrative record, Check List, Internal Control Questionnaire, Flow-chart Testing of Internal Control System: It may include: • Inspection of documents supporting

transactions and other events to gain audit evidence that internal controls have operated properly.

• Inquiries about and observation of internal controls which leave no audit trail.

• Re-performance of internal controls. • Testing of internal controls operating on

specific computerised applications.

Examination in Depth: It implies examination of a few selected transactions from the beginning to the end through the entire flow of the transaction, i.e., from initiation to the completion of the transaction by receipt or payment of cash and delivery or receipt of the goods.

Internal check has been defined by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, as the • checks on day-to-day

transactions; • which operate

continuously as part of the routine system;

• whereby the work of one person is proved independently or complimentary to the work of another,

• the object being the prevention or earlier detection of error or fraud”.

General considerations in framing a system of Internal Check: • No single person should

have an independent control over any important aspect.

• The duties of members of the staff should be changed from time to time.

• Persons having physical custody of assets must not be permitted to have access to the books.

• Budgetary control would enable the management to review from time to time the progress of trading activities.

• The financial and administrative powers should be distributed very judiciously.

• Procedures should be laid down for periodical verification and testing of different sections of accounting records to ensure that they are accurate.

Independent appraisal activity within an organisation, for the review of operations as a service to the organisation. It is a managerial control which functions by measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of other controls.

Scope Appraisal

• Review of accounting system & related internal controls

• Examination for management of financial and operating information

• Examination of the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of operations including non-financial controls of an organisation

• Physical examination and verification

• Organisational status:

• Scope of function • Technical

competence • Due professional

care • Follow up of

recommendations

Relationship between the Statutory Auditor and Internal Auditor: is a professional relationship wherein both can benefit from each other.

Reliance on the Work of Internal Auditor: It is a matter of individual judgment in a given set of circumstances. The ultimate responsibility for reporting on the financial statements is that of the statutory auditor.

CHAPTER-4B (AUDIT IN AN CIS ENVIRONMENT)

MEANING & OBJECTIVE

OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF AUDIT IN CIS

ENVIRONMENT:

INTERNAL CONTROL IN A COMPUTER-BASED

SYSTEM

COMPUTER AIDED AUDIT TECHNIQUES (CAATs)

Distinction between computer-based system of accounting and conventional nature: • Absence of Input

documents • Design • Complexity &

Reliability • Organizational

structure • Lack of Visible Audit

Trail Problems encountered while shifting from manual based accounting records to computer based accounting records: • Difficulty in Visual

Observation. • Inability to observe

the processing due to internal storage

• Making changes in Programmes without the auditor’s knowledge.

• Disappearance of Audit Trail:

• Use of High-level languages:

The overall objective and scope of an audit does not change in an CIS environment but the use of a computer changes the processing and storage of financial information and may affect the organisation and procedures employed by the entity to achieve adequate internal control. General considerations in framing a system of Internal Check: • No single person should have

an independent control over any important aspect.

• The duties of members of the staff should be changed from time to time.

• Persons having physical custody of assets must not be permitted to have access to the books.

• Budgetary control would enable the management to review from time to time the progress of trading activities.

• The financial and administrative powers should be distributed very judiciously.

• Procedures should be laid down for periodical verification and testing of different sections of accounting records to ensure that they are accurate.

1. GENERAL CIS CONTROLS:

2. CIS APPLICATION CONTROLS:

GENERAL CIS CONTROLS: The purpose of general CIS controls is to establish a framework of overall control over the CIS activities and to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the overall objectives of internal control are achieved. These controls may include: • Organisation and

management controls • Application systems

development and maintenance controls

• Computer operation controls

• Systems software controls

• Data entry and program controls

CIS APPLICATION CONTROLS: The purpose of CIS application controls is to establish specific control procedures over the accounting applications to provide reasonable assurance that all transactions are authorised and recorded, and are processed completely, accurately and on a timely basis. These include: • Controls over input • Controls over

processing and computer data files

• Controls over output

Techniques with the help of which auditor carried out the work of audit are known as CAAT. The auditor can use the computer to test: • the logic and controls existing

within the system, and • the records produced by the

system.

System characteristics resulting from the nature of CIS processing that demand the use of (CAAT) are: • Absence of input documents • Lack of visible transaction trail • Lack of visible output • Ease of Access to data and

computer programmes

Advantages of CAAT: Audit effectiveness, Savings in time, Effective test checking and examination in depth: Approaches to audit in CIS environment Two approaches - “auditing around the computer” and “auditing through the computer”.

AUDIT TRAIL: It refers to a situation where it is possible to relate, on a “one-to-one” basis, the original input with the final output.

AUDITING AROUND THE COMPUTER VS. AUDITING THROUGH THE COMPUTER

BASE Auditing around the computer Auditing through the computer Recognition of computers

Computers are recognised as mechanical aids for book keeping only.

Computers are recognized as targets of auditing and are used live for auditing.

Focus of Audit

Compare input vouchers with system outputs to obtain audit assurance.

To peruse the accounting systems and software used to provide audit assurance on various aspects of control.

Use of computers

Computers are used as Black Box only. Computers are used to check calculations, comparing the contents, analyzing the accounting ratio by comparing them etc.

Use of CAATs CAAT’s are not used. CAAT’s and other audit software tools are used for auditing.

About the Author: Hey friends, myself Yogesh Gupta, pursuing Chartered Accountancy

and company secretary Course. I’m not so much minded as some other

people; I just share my notes which help me in cracking my exams. I passed

senior secondary in 2008 in first division, after I passed Graduation Degree in

Business Administration (BBA) in June 2011.

There are some difficulties in my life that’s why I can’t do CA after

senior secondary. But ‘Jo bhi hota hai, ache ke liye hi hota hai, to mujhe is

baat ki koi tensions nahi hai’. In December, 2010 in passed CA-CPT & CS-

Foundation in first attempt, In November 2011; I gave both groups for CA-

IPCC, but only one group was cleared. So, I wrote papers in May 2012 for

Group-2, and cleared also second group. In December 2012, also clear the CS-

Executive in first sitting. Now, turn of crack inter stage of CS…hope for the

best.

I also feel happy in preparing notes for my friends & studymates. I’m

always working on my motto ‘sirf apne liye hi to sab jeete h…m different

so, kuch dusro ke liye b kru…!’ I’m also a student, and I’m always waiting for yours reviews. If you

have any complaint or suggestion about it, so please feel free to write me.
