selected for testing should include those that
are based on highly sensitive assumptions or
are otherwise significantly affected by
judgments made by management.

Page 188 of 455


2. Consider the results of this retrospective
review in evaluating the current-year
estimates. If we identify a possible bias on
the part of management in making prior-year
accounting estimates, we should evaluate
whether circumstances producing such a
bias represent a risk of a material
misstatement due to fraud.
B. Consider whether differences between estimates
best supported by the audit evidence and the
estimates included in the financial statements,
even if they are individually reasonable, indicate a
possible bias on the part of the entity's
management. If so, reconsider estimates taken as
a whole.

5. TEST UNUSUAL ENTRIES RECORDED TO
THE GENERAL LEDGER
A. Investigate journal entries from sources
that are typically not associated with this
account.
1. When selecting items to be tested,
consider (a) our assessment of the
risk of material misstatement due to
fraud, (b) the effectiveness of controls
over the preparation and posting of
journal entries, (c) the entity's financial
reporting process and the nature of
the evidence that can be examined,
(d) the nature and complexity of the
accounts, and (e) the amount and
number of such entries. Because
fraudulent journal entries often are
made at the end of a reporting period,
our testing ordinarily should focus on
the journal entries and other
adjustments made at that time. In
addition, because material
misstatements in financial statements
due to fraud can occur throughout the
period and may involve extensive
efforts to conceal entries at the end of
the reporting period, we should
consider whether there also is a need
to extend the testing of journal entries
to other periods within the period
under audit.
B. Examine related accounting records and
determine whether the selected debit/credit
is valid, appropriate, and authorized.
Determine whether the selected entry was
properly recorded in the correct period and

characteristics of inappropriate or
unauthorized journal entries such as (a)
entries made to unrelated, unusual, or
seldom-used accounts or business
segments, (b) entries recorded at the end
of the period or as post-closing entries that
have little or no explanation or description,
(c) entries made either before or during the
preparation of the financial statements that
do not have account numbers, and (d)
entries that contain round numbers or a
consistent ending number.
D. Evaluate the reasonableness of other
adjustments (e.g., entries posted directly to
financial statement drafts, consolidating
adjustments, report combinations, and
reclassifications) made in the preparation
of the financial statements.
6. EVALUATE BUSINESS RATIONALE FOR
SIGNIFICANT UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS
A. If we become aware of significant
transactions that are outside the normal
course of business or that otherwise
appear to be unusual given our
understanding of the entity and its
environment, perform the following
procedures:
1. Gain an understanding of the
business rationale for such significant
unusual transaction.
2. Consider whether the transactions
involve previously unidentified related
parties or parties that do not have the
substance or the financial strength to
support the transaction without
assistance from the entity we are
auditing.
3. Determine whether that rationale (or
the lack thereof) suggests that the
transactions may have been entered
into to engage in fraudulent financial
reporting.

5. ROLL FORWARD TEST FOR DEBT TESTED PRIOR
TO YEAR END
A. Inquire, and consider any other evidence that
comes to our attention (e.g., in reading the minutes
of the board), as to the existence of any new debt
agreements, or modifications to existing
agreements, in the intervening period from the
interim testing date to the balance-sheet date. Test
any new debt (and related accrued interest) as in
Procedures 1 through 4 of this Program.
1. Evaluate results of the tests.
B. Inquire, and consider any other evidence that
comes to our attention (e.g., in reading the minutes
of the Board), as to the existence of any new debt
agreements, or modifications to existing
agreements, in the intervening period from the
interim testing date to the balance-sheet date. Test
any new debt (and related accrued interest) as in
Procedures 1 through 4 of this Program.
C. Test transactions during the intervening period
between the interim testing date and year end:
1. Obtain reconciliations of the interim debt
balances to the year-end balances:
1.1 Agree new borrowings to cash receipts
journals or to entries in cash accounts.
1.2 Agree payments to cash disbursements
journals or to entries in cash accounts.
1.3 Examine supporting documents to verify
other significant entries.
2. Make a selection of entries in cash
disbursement journals (or those entries
recorded directly in cash accounts that
represent debt payments):
2.1 Determine that the amounts of the
payments are in accordance with the terms
of the debt agreements (e.g., by re-
computing the payments).
2.2 Examine related paid checks or bank
advices (for wire transfers) for evidence of
receipt and deposit by the authorized
payee (i.e. the lender).
3. Evaluate results of the tests.
6. CLIENT SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS
Consider whether we can make useful
recommendations to the client with respect to any of the
following:
A. When debt is retired, the client ensures that a
discharge is received on assets securing the debt.

Page 208 of 455


7. TEST BALANCES DENOMINATED IN FOREIGN
CURRENCIES
A. Agree the closing exchange rate(s) used to
published records and test the translation
calculations.
8. TEST PRESENTATION OF RELATED-PARTY

identified related parties with balances at year end
are included in the schedule. Trace the amounts in
the schedule to the trial balance.
B. Determine that the economic substance of the
related-party balances supports their recording.
C. Evaluate the reasonableness of presentation
and/or footnote disclosures of related-party
balances.
D. Consider requesting positive confirmation of
material balances with related parties.
9. TEST UNUSUAL ENTRIES RECORDED TO THE
GENERAL LEDGER
A. Investigate journal entries from sources that are
typically not associated with this account.
1. When selecting items to be tested, consider
(a) our assessment of the risk of material
misstatement due to fraud, (b) the
effectiveness of controls over the preparation
and posting of journal entries, (c) the entity's
financial reporting process and the nature of
the evidence that can be examined, (d) the
nature and complexity of the accounts, and (e)
the amount and number of such entries.
Because fraudulent journal entries often are
made at the end of a reporting period, our
testing ordinarily should focus on the journal
entries and other adjustments made at that
time. In addition, because material
misstatements in financial statements due to
fraud can occur throughout the period and
may involve extensive efforts to conceal
entries at the end of the reporting period, we
should consider whether there also is a need
to extend the testing of journal entries to other
periods within the period under audit.

Page 209 of 455


S. Audit Procedures Done by W. P. Ref.
No.
B. Examine related accounting records and determine
whether the selected debit/credit is valid,
appropriate, and authorized. Determine whether
the selected entry was properly recorded in the
correct period and consider the possible
implications of such journal entries on internal
control.
C. Determine whether the entries exhibit
characteristics of inappropriate or unauthorized
journal entries such as (a) entries made to
unrelated, unusual, or seldom-used accounts or
business segments, (b) entries recorded at the end
of the period or as post-closing entries that have
little or no explanation or description, (c) entries
made either before or during the preparation of the
financial statements that do not have account
numbers, and (d) entries that contain round
numbers or a consistent ending number.
D. Evaluate the reasonableness of other adjustments
(e.g., entries posted directly to financial statement
drafts, consolidating adjustments, report
combinations, and reclassifications) made in the
preparation of the financial statements.
10. EVALUATE BUSINESS RATIONALE FOR
SIGNIFICANT UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS
A. If we become aware of significant transactions that
are outside the normal course of business or that
otherwise appear to be unusual given our
understanding of the entity and its environment,
perform the following procedures:
B. If we become aware of significant transactions that
are outside the normal course of business or that
otherwise appear to be unusual given our
understanding of the entity and its environment,
perform the following procedures:
1. Gain an understanding of the business
rationale for such significant unusual
transaction.

previously unidentified related parties or
parties that do not have the substance or the
financial strength to support the transaction
without assistance from the entity we are
auditing.
3. Determine whether that rationale (or the lack
thereof) suggests that the transactions may
have been entered into to engage in fraudulent
financial reporting.

summarization and the reconciliation of the total to
the general ledger. Trace significant reconciling
items, if any, to supporting documents.

Page 217 of 455


B. Make a selection of cash disbursements from
subsequent cash disbursement records during an
appropriate period following the date of the
payables trial balance (usually at least one trade
payables cycle, or, if payables are tested at year
end, to the end of field work), and:
1. Trace selected disbursements to receiving
documents, purchase invoices, and/or other
supporting documents.
2. Determine whether those selected
disbursements that indicate a liability as of the
trial balance date are recorded in the trial
balance or the reconciliation to the general
ledger.
C. On or after the date of the test in Step B, make a
selection of unpaid suppliers' invoices and
unmatched receiving reports. Determine whether
those that indicate a liability as of the trial balance
date are recorded in the trial balance or the
reconciliation to the general ledger.

5. ROLL FORWARD TEST FOR PAYABLES TESTED
PRIOR TO YEAR END
A. Inquire into any significant disputed balances since
the date at which payables were tested under
Procedure 1 (or 4, if performed). Investigate
disputed balances as necessary.
B. Review the trial balance of payables as of year
end. For individual supplier accounts that have
decreased significantly since the interim testing
date, either review subsequent cash disbursement
records for indications of unrecorded liabilities to
such suppliers or obtain statements or unpaid
invoices received by the client from such suppliers.
Determine that any liabilities to such suppliers that
existed at year end were recorded at year end.
Evaluate results of the tests.
C. Perform analytical procedures to test the payables
balance at year end:
1. Consider using the following data, as
applicable, to develop an expectation of the
payables balance at year end: prior period
balances, monthly amounts of purchases,
disbursements, and purchase returns in the
intervening period from the interim testing date
to the balance-sheet date compared to such
monthly amounts in prior years and in the
current year prior to the interim testing date.
2. Determine the threshold needed to identify a
significant difference between the expectation
and the recorded year end payables balance.
3. Compare the expectation to the recorded
balance. If the difference is more than the
threshold, obtain and corroborate explanations
for the difference (e.g., by examining
supporting documents).
4. Evaluate results of the tests.

available, prepare, or have the client prepare,
confirmation requests for the amounts owed to the
suppliers and perform the following:
1. Mail the requests under our control.
2. Send second requests for non-replies.
3. Compare replies to requests.

Page 220 of 455


4. For non-replies, examine subsequent cash
disbursements to the suppliers and/or unpaid
supplier invoices, and receiving records.
Determine that any items representing
liabilities as of the trial balance date are
recorded at that date.
D. Obtain and prepare reconciliations of statements,
invoices, or confirmations obtained in Steps B and
C above to the amounts recorded in the payables
trial balance. Trace reconciling items to
shipping/receiving records, purchase invoices,
debit notes, and other supporting documents, as
applicable.
E. Evaluate results of the tests.
7. TEST PRESENTATION OF RELATED-PARTY
PAYABLES
A. Inquire and consider other available evidence, if
any, to identify all related parties from which
purchases were made during the year. Obtain a
schedule of related-party payables and determine
that all identified related parties to which payables
are owed at year end are included in the schedule.
Trace the amounts in the schedule to the payables
trial balance.
B. Determine that the economic substance of the
related-party payables supports their recording.
C. Evaluate the reasonableness of presentation
and/or footnote disclosures of related-party
payables.

applicable exchange rates and agree them to an
independent source. Re-compute foreign currency
payable amounts in local currency.
B. Determine the impact of foreign currency hedging
contracts, if any, on the recorded balance of foreign
currency payables.

general ledger.

Page 221 of 455


9. TEST ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES FOR BIAS
A. Perform a retrospective review of significant
accounting estimates reflected in the financial
statements of the prior year to determine whether
management judgments and assumptions relating
to the estimates indicate a possible bias on the part
of management.
1. The significant accounting estimates selected
for testing should include those that are based
on highly sensitive assumptions or are
otherwise significantly affected by judgments
made by management.
2. Consider the results of this retrospective
review in evaluating the current-year
estimates. If we identify a possible bias on the
part of management in making prior-year
accounting estimates, we should evaluate
whether circumstances producing such a bias
represent a risk of a material misstatement
due to fraud.
B. Consider whether differences between estimates
best supported by the audit evidence and the
estimates included in the financial statements,
even if they are individually reasonable, indicate a
possible bias on the part of the entity's
management. If so, reconsider estimates taken as
a whole.
10. TEST UNUSUAL ENTRIES RECORDED TO THE
GENERAL LEDGER
A. Investigate journal entries from sources that are
typically not associated with this account.

Page 222 of 455


1. When selecting items to be tested, consider
(a) our assessment of the risk of material
misstatement due to fraud, (b) the
effectiveness of controls over the preparation
and posting of journal entries, (c) the entity's
financial reporting process and the nature of
the evidence that can be examined, (d) the
nature and complexity of the accounts, and (e)
the amount and number of such entries.
Because fraudulent journal entries often are
made at the end of a reporting period, our
testing ordinarily should focus on the journal
entries and other adjustments made at that
time. In addition, because material
misstatements in financial statements due to
fraud can occur throughout the period and
may involve extensive efforts to conceal
entries at the end of the reporting period, we
should consider whether there also is a need
to extend the testing of journal entries to other
periods within the period under audit.
B. Examine related accounting records and determine
whether the selected debit/credit is valid,
appropriate, and authorized. Determine whether
the selected entry was properly recorded in the
correct period and consider the possible
implications of such journal entries on internal
control.
C. Determine whether the entries exhibit
characteristics of inappropriate or unauthorized
journal entries such as (a) entries made to
unrelated, unusual, or seldom-used accounts or
business segments, (b) entries recorded at the end
of the period or as post-closing entries that have
little or no explanation or description, (c) entries
made either before or during the preparation of the
financial statements that do not have account
numbers, and (d) entries that contain round
numbers or a consistent ending number.
D. Evaluate the reasonableness of other adjustments
(e.g., entries posted directly to financial statement
drafts, consolidating adjustments, report
combinations, and reclassifications) made in the
preparation of the financial statements.

Page 223 of 455


11. VALUATE BUSINESS RATIONALE FOR
SIGNIFICANT UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS
A. If we become aware of significant transactions that
are outside the normal course of business or that
otherwise appear to be unusual given our
understanding of the entity and its environment,
perform the following procedures:

1. Gain an understanding of the business


rationale for such significant unusual
transaction.
2. Consider whether the transactions involve
previously unidentified related parties or
parties that do not have the substance or the
financial strength to support the transaction
without assistance from the entity we are
auditing.
3. Determine whether that rationale (or the lack
thereof) suggests that the transactions may
have been entered into to engage in fraudulent
financial reporting.

1. Ascertain that the confirmation asks for all
information likely to be relevant to our tests of
debt and related interest balances (e.g.,
applicable interest rates, due dates, the date
to which interest has been paid, collateral and
security interests).
2. Mail the requests under our control to a

(and update descriptions thereof contained in our
permanent files, if applicable) and perform the
following:
1. Test that the client is in compliance with loan
covenants and other significant provisions of
the agreements.
2. If there are any provisions with which the
client is not in compliance, determine whether

enforcement of the provisions has been
waived by the lender, obtain confirmation of
the waiver from the lender.
C. Determine that the accounting policies and
methods of recording debt are appropriate and
applied consistently.
5. ROLL FORWARD TEST FOR DEBT TESTED PRIOR
TO YEAR END
A. Inquire, and consider any other evidence that

agreements, or modifications to existing
agreements, in the intervening period from the
interim testing date to the balance-sheet date. Test
any new debt (and related accrued interest) as in
Procedures 1 through 4 of this Program.
1. Evaluate results of the tests.

2.1 Determine that the amounts of the
payments are in accordance with the
terms of the debt agreements (e.g., by
re-computing the payments).
2.2 Examine related paid checks or bank
advices (for wire transfers) for evidence
of receipt and deposit by the authorized
payee (i.e. the lender).

A. When debt is retired, the client ensures that a
discharge is received on assets securing the debt.
7. TEST BALANCES DENOMINATED IN FOREIGN
CURRENCIES
A. Agree the closing exchange rate(s) used to
published records and test the translation
calculations.
8. TEST PRESENTATION OF RELATED-PARTY
BALANCES

are included in the schedule. Trace the amounts in
the schedule to the trial balance.
B. Determine that the economic substance of the
related-party balances supports their recording.
C. Evaluate the reasonableness of presentation
and/or footnote disclosures of related-party
balances.

9. TEST UNUSUAL ENTRIES RECORDED TO THE
GENERAL LEDGER
A. Investigate journal entries from sources that are
typically not associated with this account.
1. When selecting items to be tested, consider
(a) our assessment of the risk of material
misstatement due to fraud, (b) the
effectiveness of controls over the preparation
and posting of journal entries, (c) the entity's
financial reporting process and the nature of
the evidence that can be examined, (d) the
nature and complexity of the accounts, and
(e) the amount and number of such entries.
Because fraudulent journal entries often are
made at the end of a reporting period, our
testing ordinarily should focus on the journal
entries and other adjustments made at that
time. In addition, because material
misstatements in financial statements due to
fraud can occur throughout the period and
may involve extensive efforts to conceal
entries at the end of the reporting period, we
should consider whether there also is a need
to extend the testing of journal entries to
other periods within the period under audit.
B. Examine related accounting records and determine
whether the selected debit/credit is valid,
appropriate, and authorized. Determine whether
the selected entry was properly recorded in the
correct period and consider the possible
implications of such journal entries on internal
control.
C. Determine whether the entries exhibit
characteristics of inappropriate or unauthorized
journal entries such as (a) entries made to
unrelated, unusual, or seldom-used accounts or
business segments, (b) entries recorded at the end
of the period or as post-closing entries that have
little or no explanation or description, (c) entries
made either before or during the preparation of the
financial statements that do not have account
numbers, and (d) entries that contain round
numbers or a consistent ending number.

S. Audit Procedures Done by W. P. Ref.
No.
D. Evaluate the reasonableness of other adjustments
(e.g., entries posted directly to financial statement
drafts, consolidating adjustments, report
combinations, and reclassifications) made in the
preparation of the financial statements.
10. EVALUATE BUSINESS RATIONALE FOR
SIGNIFICANT UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS
A. If we become aware of significant transactions that
are outside the normal course of business or that
otherwise appear to be unusual given our
understanding of the entity and its environment,
perform the following procedures:
1. Gain an understanding of the business
rationale for such significant unusual
transaction.
2. Consider whether the transactions involve
previously unidentified related parties or
parties that do not have the substance or the
financial strength to support the transaction
without assistance from the entity we are
auditing.
3. Determine whether that rationale (or the lack
thereof) suggests that the transactions may
have been entered into to engage in
fraudulent financial reporting.
