Professional Documents
Culture Documents
Perform procedures to confirm that the investment balances exist, that they are accurate
and properly valued, and that only investment activity within the period is recorded.
While investment balances in the financial statements are important, disclosures are also
vital, especially when the entity owns complex instruments.
Investment Walkthroughs
Second, perform your risk assessment work in light of the relevant assertions.
As you perform walkthroughs of investments, you normally look for ways that investments might
be overstated (though investments can be understated as well). You want to know if:
The controls were appropriately designed, and
The controls were implemented (in use)
We ask questions, we also inspect documents (e.g., investment statements) and make
observations (e.g., who reconciles the investment statements to the general ledger?).
If control weaknesses exist, we create audit procedures to address them. For example, if during
the walkthrough we note that there are improperly classified investments, then will plan audit
procedures to address that risk.
When control risk is assessed at high, inherent risk becomes the driver of the risk of material
misstatement (control risk X inherent risk = risk of material misstatement). For example, if
control risk is high and inherent risk is moderate, then my RMM is moderate.
Important Assertions
The assertions that auditors give concern the most are existence, accuracy, valuation,
and cut-off. So RMM for these assertions is usually moderate to high.
If controls are tested and you determine they are effective, then some of the substantive
procedures may not be necessary.
