- This cannot eliminate all potential material misstatements in financial statements. - Both intentional conducts (frauds) and unintentional conducts (errors) could cause misstatements in financial statements. - Substantive audit procedures could help identify those misstatements Auditors use two major audit strategies: reliance and substantive. - Reliance is used when tests of controls demonstrate that controls are operating effectively. - Auditing standards require substantive evidence for all significant accounts and assertions. - Reliance strategy reduces the amount of substantive test required but substantive tests cannot be entirely eliminated.
Why is it Important to Also Perform Substantive Audit Procedures for the Ending Cash Balance Even When Tests of Controls Over Transactions That Affect the Cash Account Indicate That Those Controls are Operating Effectively?
