Audit 107: Auditing Cash - Applying Basic Audit Skills WEBINAR
Overview
This course demonstrates how the approach to auditing different cash accounts may vary and how to strengthen inquiry, which is an important audit procedure in this area. Cash tends to be one of the first areas assigned to new auditors, as there is typically little complexity and subjectivity involved. In addition, persuasive audit evidence from a third-party is generally available. However, research shows that around 80% of asset misappropriation relates to cash. Therefore, the audit of accounts and classes of disclosures related to cash and cash equivalents does tend to carry some level of risk of material misstatement.
