Meaning of Pervasive

These notes summarize key points about auditing procedures from a set of documents: - Risk assessment procedures are used to understand the entity and assess risks of misstatement but do not provide sufficient evidence for the audit opinion. - Further audit procedures involve testing internal controls and either relying on them with more compliance tests and fewer substantive tests, or performing more substantive tests. - Substantive procedures include analytical procedures and tests of details like vouching to check account balances, transactions, and disclosures.

Risk Assessment Procedures


● Risk assessment procedures are used to obtain an understanding of the entity and its environment, including its
internal control in order to assess the risk of material misstatement and determine the nature extent and timing
of further audit procedures.
● Risk assessment procedures alone do not provide audit evidence sufficient to support audit opinion.
● They are required in all financial statement audit.

Further Audit Procedures


● Auditor test internal control in order to
○ understand them and
○ to decide whether to rely on them or not .
● We will
○ Check design (SoD, Approvals, Reconciliations etc)
■ No - Leave it go for SP
■ Yes test efficiency (Operation and Continuity)
○ Test of Efficiency (Operation and Continuity) If internal controls are efficient then it is going to have a
direct impact on the nature, extent and timing of substantive procedures.
○ If because of efficiency of internal control we decided to rely on internal control then we will do
more of compliance procedures and less of substantive procedures.
○ So basically the ​nature​ will be more towards control testing yes we will do substantive procedures also
but they will be comparatively less now coming to the extent we will work a little less and (​TIMING​) will
check the interim period and some transaction at the year end

Substantive Procedure
● Auditor will check transactions, account balance presentation and disclosure
○ Analytical Procedures
○ Test of Details (Vouching and Verification)
