as well as related loan and similar contracts. Obtain and send bank
confirmations for all accounts, including accounts closed during the
1 year, requesting information about account balances, contingencies, General

amounts, and so on. If there is a valid reason for not confirming all
accounts, document the rationale in the working papers.

Confirm accounts receivable.

Determine the size of the sample and document the rationale for the
method used to select the sample in the working papers. Examine
2 subsequent cash receipts, shipping records, sales contracts, and General
other evidence to verify the validity of accounts receivable for which
replies to confirmation requests are unsatisfactory or were not
obtained, or as part of supporting year-end receivables balances.
If accounts are verified at an interim date, review the “roll-forward”
of activity from the interim date to the balance sheet date in a
manner responsive to our risk assessment and compare level of
3 activity for the current period with prior periods. Investigate unusual General
items; consider confirming (at the balance sheet date) significant
new accounts and those accounts with significant increases or
decreases between the interim date and the balance sheet date.

Perform analytical procedures to identify peaks in sales volume in


the last few days or weeks of the year and test cutoff by inspecting

accurately counted and recorded, including a clear description of
their non-inventory status.

d. Count tags, sheets, or cards are properly controlled. General


e. Perform tests of the client’s counts (from the floor to the
recorded counts and from recorded counts to the floor); record
sufficient information to be able to trace the test counts into the General
inventory compilation at a later date; record selected information
concerning the tags, sheets, or cards that are used, partially used,
unused, and voided.

f. Inspect shipping, receiving, and transfer documents and the


related inventory items, when appropriate, to establish the numbers General
of the last documents used and other information needed to
subsequently verify cutoffs in the accounting records.

2 Review the physical inventory compilation:

compilation; consider observing these physical inventories as well.

replies to confirmation requests are unsatisfactory or were not
obtained, or as part of supporting year-end receivables balances.

If accounts are verified at an interim date, review the “roll-forward”


of activity from the interim date to the balance sheet date in a
manner responsive to our risk assessment and compare level of

taking inventory.

b. Items belonging to the client, or belonging to others but for General

c. Items to be excluded from inventory (no-value items, non-


inventory items, items belonging to others) are either subject to
satisfactory control and excluded from the counting process or are General
accurately counted and recorded, including a clear description of
their non-inventory status.

d. Count tags, sheets, or cards are properly controlled. General

e. Perform tests of the client’s counts (from the floor to the


recorded counts and from recorded counts to the floor); record
sufficient information to be able to trace the test counts into the General
inventory compilation at a later date; record selected information
concerning the tags, sheets, or cards that are used, partially used,
unused, and voided.

f. Inspect shipping, receiving, and transfer documents and the


related inventory items, when appropriate, to establish the numbers General
of the last documents used and other information needed to
subsequently verify cutoffs in the accounting records.

2 Review the physical inventory compilation:


a. Trace test counts, confirmations, and, if necessary, records of the
count prepared by the client (for example, count tags, sheets, or
cards) to the inventory compilation. Determine that the unit of General
measure used in the physical inventory compilation is consistent with
the unit of measure used during the physical count.

b. Trace items on the final inventory listing to the physical inventory


tags. Determine that the unit of measure used in the physical General
inventory compilation is consistent with the unit of measures used
during the physical count.

c. Verify that the information gathered during the physical


observation regarding the tags, sheets, or cards that were used, General
partially used, unused, and voided is accurately reflected in the
inventory compilation.

If significant, confirm inventories held by others at the physical
