- procedures to obtain an understanding of internal control- tests of controls
Tests of controlsare designed, in part, to
determine whether the au-ditor’s understanding of in-ternal control is accurate.
13
What are the different What are the different types of audit tests?types of audit tests?
- procedures to obtain an understanding of internal control- tests of controls- substantive tests of transactions
Substantivetests of transactionsexamine monetary
errors and irregularitiesin a class of transactions.
14
What are the different What are the different types of audit tests?types of audit tests?
- procedures to obtain an understanding of internal control- tests of controls- substantive tests of transactions
For efficiency,tests of controls and sub-
stantive tests of transactionsare frequently performed
at the same time.
15
What are the different What are the different types of audit tests?types of audit tests?
- procedures to obtain an understanding of internal control- tests of controls- substantive tests of transactions- analytical procedures
Analytical proceduresuse comparisons and relation-ships to determine reasonable-
ness of balances.

Tests of detailsof balances examine monetary

relative ease of calculating andcomparing, particularly if
software is employed.

thecombination
of the five typesof audit tests used
in the audit of a cycle
In general, if the auditorassesses the controls andaccounting system as relatively effective, the mix will involve more tests of controls and less substantive tests.
