Directional testing • Direction matters!!! When we tested for completeness we started at the shipping docs and followed this through to the sales ledger. • When we tested for existence/occurrence we selected sales invoices in the ledger and followed this through to the shipping docs and authorised order forms. IK Greenwich University
Purchases system • 3 main things happening: • Order goods (authorisation) • Receive goods (custody) • Account for goods (recording) Same 5 assertions as for sales: Existence/occurrence, cut-off, completeness, classification, accuracy + rights and obligations (which we said could be added to sales when we made the link to debtors).

Auditing inventory 3 Scenario’s: 1.Entity has a perpetual system, ie inventory is counted continuously. No year end count is Performed. If controls risk is LOW follow a controls based approach. 2. If the year end count is performed PRIOR to y/e and adjusted by perpetual inventory records for y/e value, control risk must be assessed as LOW. IK Greenwich University
Auditing inventory • If inventory quantities are determined via y/e date count, a PURELY SUBSTANTIVE approach is taken. (Covered in chapter 13) • Note that most controls on inventory were covered under PURCHASES and SALES cycles. • Auditor now concerned with how business safeguards inventory & how movements are recorded. • Detailed tests on valuation are carried out @ substantive stage.
