ACCA F8审计知识点:实质性程序

来源: 高顿网校 2015-10-21
  审计中最重要的程序是什么?那必须是实质性程序啊!高顿网校小编今天就给大家带来了ACCA F8知识点:Substantive Procedures。
  1 Nature, Timing and Extent
  1.1 Nature
  Substantive analytical procedures are generally more applicable to large volumes of transactions that tend to be predictable over time and are often used in conjunction with a strong control environment and where audit evidence has been obtained from testing the effectiveness of controls (e.g. computer information systems). See Session 16 for further detail on substantive analytical review.
  Tests of detail on transactions are used to obtain audit evidence regarding the assertions related to transactions (i.e. COCOA—completeness, occurrence, classification, cut-off and accuracy). These will be on manual systems or CISs where it is easy to trace a transaction through the system.
  Tests of details of transactions trace a transaction through a system, for example to ensure that a despatch is correctly recorded as a sale or that a purchase entry recorded in the daybook is supported by a purchase invoice, goods received note and purchase order.
  If no reliance is placed on controls, the level (i.e. sample size) of transaction testing will be high. If reliance can be placed on controls, the level of transaction testing will be lower (and usually conducted as a hybrid test (see s.3) alongside the control testing).
  The auditor may assess that audit risk can be reduced to an acceptable level by reliance on controls and substantive analytical review, rather than transaction testing (as above).
  Tests of detail on balances are used to obtain evidence about the assertions related to account balances (i.e. CARE— completeness, accuracy and valuation, rights and obligations and existence).
  1.2 Timing
  Substantive transaction procedures may be carried out at an earlier date than the entity's year-end and the final audit (i.e. at an interim audit). If carried out at an interim date, further tests must be carried out to cover the remaining period. These tests (substantive and/or tests of control) must be sufficient to ensure that the risk of misstatement does not increase during this period.
  Unlike tests of control, where prior-year audit evidence may be relied on under certain circumstances, prior-year substantive evidence will be insufficient to address a risk of material misstatement in the current period.
  1.3 Extent
  Generally, the greater the risk of material misstatement, the greater the extent of substantive procedures.
  For any one substantive procedure, the extent of testing usually relates to sample sizes (e.g. increasing the extent means increasing the sample size).
  However, the extent of substantive procedures may also be considered in terms of: selecting large (e.g. material) or unusual items from a population; or stratifying the population into homogeneous subpopulations for sampling.
  It is not unusual in many substantive testing approaches that all items greater than the materiality level (taking into account performance materiality) are selected for testing. If an error is found, that error is likely to be material to the financial statement assertions.
  2. Hybrid Approach
  In some cases, a single test approach can be used as a test of control and a substantive procedure at the same time. This is called a dual-purpose or hybrid test.

建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考,这样可以提高备考效率,减轻备考压力,1、F1-F4:为随时机考科目,难度较低,这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9:如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话,推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7(8)再考F8(7),这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段:选修科目中,建议企业首选AFM!第二部分科目进行选择,如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好,可以通过选择AAA,如果SBL掌握的好,可以自己选择APM。
