We are required to perform preliminary analytical procedures as part of our risk assessment procedures to:

(1) Assist in obtaining our overall understanding of the entity and its environment, and
(2) Obtain a general understanding of the content of the financial statements and significant operational or accounting chang
occurred since the prior audit engagement.

Such risk assessment procedures familiarize us with the entity’s liquidity and profitability and helps us to identify matters tha
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Performing preliminary analytical procedures involves looking for unusual cha
statements, or the absence of expected changes, to help us identify risks of material misstatement. [2700.01]

We shall evaluate whether unusual or unexpected relationships that have been identified in performing analytical procedu
related to revenue accounts, may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. [2700.18]

The following guidance relates to procedures for the following activities:


1. Obtain financial and nonfinancial information
2. Compare the information
3. Discuss unusual or unexpected significant fluctuations or relationships with management
4. Further analysis of financial information

Obtain financial and nonfinancial information


To perform Preliminary Analytical Procedures, we may obtain the most-recent financial information prepared by the Entity a
financial information in a comparable format. [2700.03]

We may also wish to obtain the Entity’s current-period budgets, forecasts, or other documentation if we believe they were p
reasonable assumptions. This information, if available, may be used to develop expectations about the current-period financ

operations.
For example, information that Management may be using includes production capacity, quantities purchased and sold, and h

Compare the information


We may use the information obtained to make comparisons, ordinarily using the current-period interim financial information

• Unusual changes or the absence of expected changes in account balances
• Unusual changes or the absence of expected changes in key financial relationships
• Key financial and nonfinancial relationships
• Production capacity in relation to recorded sales and changes in inventories
• Physical limitations on inventory storage in relation to inventory balances. [2700.06]
Determining which comparisons and measures to perform is a matter of professional judgment depending on the circumstan

• Monetary changes in account balances
• Percentage changes for the current period, compared with percentage change for similar prior periods. [2700.07]

Simple comparisons between the current-period account balances and those of the prior period may reveal new accounts no

From this information, we may obtain an understanding of the changes we anticipate in the current-period information as co

Given the purpose of Preliminary Analytical Procedures, we do not develop precise expectations of the recorded amounts, no
to document our anticipated results. [2700.10]

Discuss unusual or unexpected significant fluctuations or relationships with management


Appropriate corroborative audit evidence obtained during Preliminary Analytical Procedures differs from the extent of corrob

We may discuss the results with management and determine whether they offer plausible explanations for the fluctuations.
explanations are consistent with our understanding of the Entity and its environment. We may consider examining supportin

This Template should only be used for financial statement audits performed in accordance with ISA.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This Template may be used to document:


• Our understanding of the key elements of the entity-level components of internal control (control environment, risk assessment, information and communication, and monitoring), the sources
from which information was obtained, and the risk assessment procedures performed. This information may be documented within the “Control Environment,” “Risk Assessment,” “Info System &
Communication,” and “Monitoring” worksheets of this Template
• Our evaluation of the design of relevant entity-level controls and determination of whether they have been implemented (our evaluation is required to include procedures in addition to inquiry
of the entity’s personnel). This information, and any risks identified in obtaining an understanding of the internal control components, may be documented within the “D&I” section for each
worksheet of this Template.

This Template should NOT be used to document understanding and testing of any controls considered direct and precise or any controls that are being used to directly address a ROMM (which
are usually direct and precise controls) - the standard template for documenting business process controls should be used instead. Based on this understanding, the level of documentation herein
is not expected to be in as much detail as would be expected for direct and precise controls.

To the extent management has appropriately documented entity-level controls, we may consider including such documentation in our working papers with appropriate cross references.

If we intend to use information obtained from previous experience with the entity, we are required to determine whether changes have occurred since the previous audit that may affect its
relevance to the current audit, and evaluate whether the prior-year information remains reliable. Our inquiries and other risk assessment procedures to obtain audit evidence about the design
and implementation of relevant controls provide us the basis for making this determination.

Worksheet (1): Understand internal control — Control environment


Use this worksheet to document our understanding of the entity’s control environment. The control environment comprises the conditions under which the entity’s accounting and internal
controls are designed and implemented. It includes the governance and management functions and the attitudes, awareness, and actions of those charged with governance and management
concerning the entity’s internal control and its importance in the entity. The control environment sets the tone of an entity, influencing the control consciousness of its people. It is the foundation
for all other components of internal control, providing discipline and structure to the manner in which the principal business activities are conducted and objectives established.

Some elements of an entity’s control environment have a pervasive effect on assessing the risks of material misstatement. The existence of a satisfactory control environment can be a positive
factor when we assess the risks of material misstatement. However, although it may help to reduce the risk of fraud, a satisfactory control environment is not an absolute deterrent to fraud.
Conversely, deficiencies in the control environment may undermine the effectiveness of controls, in particular in relation to fraud.

Refer to AAM 12200 for detailed policy and guidance with respect to understanding the control environment.

Worksheet (2): Understand internal control — Risk assessment


Use this worksheet to document our understanding of the entity’s risk assessment process. Identifying, analyzing, and managing risk is an ongoing process and a critical component of effective
internal control. Management needs to focus carefully on risks at all levels of the entity, including individual operating units and business processes, and take the necessary actions to manage
them.

The entity’s risk assessment process, as discussed in the context of being one of the components of internal control over financial reporting, relates to the achievement of an entity’s financial
reporting objectives and is performed by entity management.

The entity’s risk assessment process is not the same as the risk assessment process performed by us as part of our audit.

Refer to AAM 12200 for detailed policy and guidance with respect to understanding the entity’s risk assessment process.

Worksheet (3): Understand internal control — Information system and communication


Use this worksheet to document our understanding of the entity’s information system relevant to financial reporting and communication. Inquiries and other risk assessment procedures
concerning how the information systems affect internal control provide us with information about such matters as the important systems on which management relies to manage and control the
business; whether the systems provide the right information; whether management believes internally generated information is accurate, complete, and timely; and whether management
believes that different systems provide consistent information.

Refer to AAM 12200 for detailed policy and guidance with respect to understanding the information system relevant to financial reporting and communication.

This Template focuses on the system(s) and controls relevant to the financial reporting and communication processes, and is not designed to address processes and controls relevant to material
classes of transactions, account balances, and disclosures [significant accounts and disclosures].

Worksheet (4): Understand internal control — Monitoring


Use this worksheet to document our understanding of the entity’s monitoring of internal controls. Monitoring of controls is a process to assess the effectiveness of internal control performance
over time. It involves assessing the effectiveness of controls on a timely basis and taking necessary remedial actions. Management accomplishes monitoring of controls through ongoing activities,
separate evaluations, or a combination of the two. Ongoing monitoring activities are often built into the normal recurring activities of an entity and include regular management and supervisory
activities. The scope and frequency of separate evaluations will depend on an assessment of risks and the effectiveness of ongoing monitoring procedures.

Refer to AAM 12200 for detailed policy and guidance with respect to understanding monitoring of controls.

Design and implementation


Use this section within each worksheet to evaluate the design and determine implementation of relevant controls within the control environment, controls over the risk assessment process, the
information system relevant to financial reporting and communication, and monitoring components of internal control.

• Evaluate the design of the relevant controls by determining whether the controls, if operating as prescribed by persons possessing the necessary authority and competence to perform them
effectively and satisfy the entity’s control objectives.

• Determine that properly designed controls have been implemented by determining whether each control exists and whether the entity is using it. Concentrate in particular on the
implementation of controls because controls may be established but not acted upon.

If we determine that the design or implementation of a control within any of the components of internal control prevents it from being effective, consider whether a deficiency in internal control
exists. Document any deficiencies in internal control identified.

Risks of material misstatement and other significant findings or issues identified may be documented within the “D&I” section of this Template.
