1. The process of establishing the overall audit strategy assists the auditor to determine,
subject to the completion of the auditor’s risk assessment procedures, such matters as:
Employees/ Resources ko
How such resources are managed, directed and supervised, such as when
team briefing and debriefing meetings are expected to be held

4. Planning is not a discrete phase of an audit, but rather a continual and iterative process
For example, planning includes the need to consider, prior to the auditor’s identification and assessment of
the risks of material misstatement, such matters as:
CONTINOUSLY planning kon karta rhata h??.....bas planning hi karta h..kaam kuch ni karta..
“ MALE – Ooooooooooooooo”
Trick : Audit progg. & Planning poori writing me likh ke bannao..ki aapke saath jo bhi aapka assistant h usko bhi
samaj me aa jaae kya – kisko kya karna h..kon konse Internal control check karne h??...kab karne hai ?..
• Helping the auditor to devote appropriate attention to important areas of the audit.
• Helping the auditor identify and resolve potential problems on a timely basis.
• Assisting, where applicable, in coordination of work done by auditors of components and
experts.
Remaining:
• Provides the assistant carrying out the audit with total and clear set of instructions of the
work generally to be done.
• Selection of assistants for the jobs on the basis of capability becomes easier when the work
is rationally planned, defined and segregated.
• Without a written and pre-determined programme, work is necessarily to be carried out on the
basis of some ‘mental’ plan. In such a situation, there is always a danger of ignoring or
overlooking certain books and records. Under a properly framed programme, the danger
is significantly less, and the audit can proceed systematically.
• The assistants, by putting their signature on programme, accept the responsibility for the
work carried out by them individually and, if necessary, the work done may be traced back to
the assistant.
• The principal can control the progress of the various audits in hand by examination of audit
programmes initiated by the assistants deputed to the jobs for completed work.
• It serves as a guide for audits to be carried out in the succeeding year.

CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46
Trick: Mechanical work ho jaaega, Kuch bhi New Initiative Nahi lega koi, Rigid & inflexibility ki
wajah se Assistant bhi Inefficient ho jaaenge
• The work may become mechanical and particular parts of the programme may be carried out
without any understanding of the object of such parts in the whole audit scheme.
• A hard and fast audit programme may kill the initiative of efficient and enterprising
assistants
• The programme often tends to become rigid and inflexible following set grooves; the business
may change in its operation of conduct, but the old programme may still be carried on. Changes
in staff or internal control may render precaution necessary at points different from those
originally decided upon
• Inefficient assistants may take shelter behind the programme i.e., defend
deficiencies in their work on the ground that no instruction in the matter is contained
therein.
8. In establishing overall audit strategy, the auditor shall ascertain the reporting objectives
of the engagement to plan the timing of the audit and the nature of the communications
required.
Elucidate those cases by which auditor can ascertain the reporting objectives of the
engagement

SA 320 “Materiality in Planning and Performing an Audit” prescribes the use of Benchmarks in Determining
Materiality for the Financial Statements as a Whole.
Determining materiality involves the exercise of professional judgment. A percentage is often applied to a
chosen benchmark as a starting point in determining materiality for the financial statements as a whole.
Factors that may affect the identification of an appropriate benchmark include the following:
(i) [Arul jaithly] The elements of the financial statements (for example, assets, liabilities, equity,
revenue, expenses);
(ii) [Modi ji] Whether there are items on which the attention of the users of the particular
entity’s financial statements tends to be focused (for example, for the purpose of evaluating
financial performance users may tend to focus on profit, revenue or net assets);
Telegram: t.me/cahemantsomani Learn with Rankers!! Youtube: CA Hemant Somani (AIR-46)
CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46
(iii) [Adwani] The nature of the entity, where the entity is at in its life cycle, and the industry and
economic environment in which the entity operates;
(iv) [Amit Shah] The entity’s ownership structure and the way it is financed (for example, if an
entity is financed solely by debt rather than equity, users may put more emphasis on assets,
and claims on them, than on the entity’s earnings); and
(v) [Smiriti Rani] The relative volatility of the benchmark.
An auditor picks up evidence from a variety of fields and it is generally of the following broad types:
• Documentary examination,
• Physical examination,
• Statements and explanation of management, officials and employees,
• Statements and explanations of third parties,
•
• Inter-relationship of the various accounting data,
• Arithmetical calculations by the auditor,
• Subsequent action by the client and by others.
• State of internal controls and internal checks,
• Subsidiary and memorandum records,
• Minutes,

misstatements:
• Inquiry of management and, where applicable, others within the entity, including in-
house legal counsel;
• Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and
• Correspondence between the entity and its external legal counsel; and
• Reviewing legal expense accounts
14. Matters the auditor may consider in determining the extent of tests of controls.
• F - The Frequency of the performance of the control by the entity during the period. (Stock count is
weekly Vs Fixed asset count is half yearly)
• L - The Length of time during the audit period that the auditor is relying on the operating effectiveness of
the control. (More time more checking)
• E - The Expected rate of deviation from a control. (If expected rate is very close to tolerable rate of
deviation then we have to check more of that control, to extra sure)
• R - The Relevance and reliability of the audit evidence to be obtained regarding the operating
effectiveness of the control at the assertion level. (Double payment is big risk so software feature to
detect same number of PO is relevant, so check more)
• T -The extent to which audit evidence is obtained from Tests of other controls related to the assertion. (If
other controls on that assertion are not effective do more checking here)

management’s expert from a variety of sources, such as: -
• Observation
• Recalculation
• Re-performance
GOD-WI
• The reliability of audit evidence that is generated internally is increased when the
related controls, including those over its preparation and maintenance, imposed by the
entity are effective
• Audit evidence provided by original documents is more reliable than audit evidence
provided by photocopies or facsimiles, or documents that have been filmed, digitised or
otherwise transformed into electronic form, the reliability of which may depend on the
controls over their preparation and maintenance
• Audit evidence obtained directly by the auditor
• Written: Audit evidence in documentary form, whether paper, electronic, or other
medium, is more reliable than evidence obtained orally
• The reliability of audit evidence is increased when it is obtained from independent
sources outside the entity

3. As per SA 315 – “Identifying and Assessing the Risk of Material Misstatement Through
Understanding the Entity and its Environment”,the auditor shall obtain an understanding
of the following:
The broad matters to be considered while obtaining knowledge of business for a new audit assignment are set out
in SA 315 Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement through Understanding the Entity and its
Environment. These are: [IRE + FANO]
(i) Relevant industry, regulatory, economic (IRE) and other external factors including the applicable
financial reporting framework.
(ii) The measurement and review of the entity’s financial performance.
(iii) The entity’s selection and application of accounting policies.
(iv) The nature of the entity, including:
a. its operations;
b. its ownership and governance structures;
c. the types of investments that the entity is making and plans to make, including investments in
special-purpose entities; and
d. the way that the entity is structured and how it is financed; to enable the auditor to understand
the classes of transactions, account balances, and disclosures to be expected in the financial
statements.
(v) The entity’s objectives and strategies, and those related business risks that may result in risks of
material misstatement.
Telegram: t.me/cahemantsomani Learn with Rankers!! Youtube: CA Hemant Somani (AIR-46)
CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46
The understanding establishes a frame of reference within which the auditor plans the audit and exercises
professional judgment throughout the audit, for example, when:
(i) Identify risks throughout the process of obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment,
including relevant controls that relate to the risks, and by considering the classes of transactions,
account balances, and disclosures in the financial statements;
(ii) Assess the identified risks, and evaluate whether they relate more pervasively to the financial
statements as a whole and potentially affect many assertions;
(iii) Relate the identified risks to what can go wrong at the assertion level, taking account of relevant
controls that the auditor intends to test; and
(iv) Consider the likelihood of misstatement, including the possibility of multiple misstatements, and
whether the potential misstatement is of a magnitude that could result in a material misstatement

1) Fraud (SA-240):
➢ Incentives/Pressures:
• management is under pressure, from sources outside or inside the entity, to achieve an
expected (and perhaps unrealistic) earnings target or financial outcome
• Personal financial obligations may create pressure on management or employees with access
to cash or other assets susceptible to theft to misappropriate those assets.
➢ Opportunities:
to commit fraud may exist when an individual believes internal control can be overridden, for
example, because the individual is in a position of trust or has knowledge of specific
deficiencies in internal control.
➢ Attitudes/Rationalizations:
Some individuals possess an attitude, character or set of ethical values that allow them
knowingly and intentionally to commit a dishonest act. However, even otherwise honest
individuals can commit fraud in an environment that imposes sufficient pressure on them

➢ Time
• Undue time pressures imposed by management to resolve complex or contentious issues.
➢ Denial
• Denial of access to records, facilities, certain employees, customers, vendors, or others
from whom audit evidence might be sought.
• Unwillingness to facilitate auditor access to key electronic files for testing through the
use of computer-assisted audit techniques.
• Denial of access to key IT operations staff and facilities, including security, operations,
and systems development personnel
➢ Delay

IT Personnel:
Data ko:
Trick: Control pe rely nahi kar paaenge, so Substantive audit karni padegi & modified reporting karni
padegi
➢ Impact on Controls:
• Controls cannot rely on automated controls, system calculation and accounting procedures
built into applications.
• cannot rely on IT dependent manual controls.
• system data and reports should be tested substantively for completeness and accuracy.
• more substantive audit work is needed.
➢ Impact on Reporting:
• Communication to TCWG.
• modified auditors report.
6) Explain the activities involved in the General IT Controls over “Program Change”.

Trick: “Complete” “JV ka analysis” to nahi kar paaenge “Sample” basis pe hi “Reperformance”
& “re-computation” kar lo, agar koi bhi “Deficiency” mili to “Fraud” maan lenge usse
• Check Completeness of data and population that is used in either test of controls or
substantive audit tests.
• Analysis of Journal entries as required by SA 240
• Selection of audit Samples – random sampling, systematic sampling.
• Reperformance of mathematical calculations – depreciation, bank interest calculation.
• Re-computation of balances – reconstruction of trial balance from transaction data.
• Evaluating impact of control Deficiencies.
• Fraud investigation.
10) Points to be considered while Reporting when you get certain findings & exceptions in IT
systems

Risk that the auditor’s conclusion based on a sample may be different from the conclusion if the
entire population were subjected to the same audit procedure
1) In the case of a test of controls, that controls are more effective than they actually are, or in
the case of a test of details, that a material misstatement does not exist when in fact it does.
The auditor is primarily concerned with this type of erroneous conclusion because it affects
audit effectiveness and is more likely to lead to an inappropriate audit opinion.
2) In the case of a test of controls, that controls are less effective than they actually are, or in
the case of a test of details, that a material misstatement exists when in fact it does not. This
type of erroneous conclusion affects audit efficiency as it would usually lead to additional
work to establish that initial conclusions were incorrect.
• Human Mistakes
• Applying audit procedures not appropriate to the objectives of audit
• Relying on erroneous information e.g. erroneous confirmation
• Misinterpreting the sample results
Trick: RSM-STS
3) Factors that should be considered for deciding upon the extent of checking on a sampling
plan.
Trick: sampling kitni karni h wo dekhte wqt pata karna ki “Organisation” kitni badi hai, jitni badi
organisation hogi utne jyaada acche “Internal control” & “books” bhi chaaiye, Warna “Error”
jayada hogi.. fir “Confidence” low ho jaaega
• It may provide a better description of a Large mass of data than a complete examination of
all the data, since non-sampling errors such as processing and clerical mistakes are not as large.
• The amount of testing (sample size) does not increase in Proportion to the increase in the
size of the area (Population) tested.
• It provides a means for deriving a “Calculated risk” and corresponding precision (sampling error)
i.e. the probable difference in result due to the use of a sample in lieu of examining all the
records in the group (universe), using the same audit procedures.
• The method provides a means of estimating the Minimum sample size associated with a
specified risk and precision.
• The sample selection is more Objective and thereby more defensible.

5) Methods of Sampling-
Trick: RSS-HMB me har kisi ko nahi lete, alag-alag method se sampling karte hai fir lete h
1) Random sampling:
2) Stratified Sampling
3) Systematic selection
4) Haphazard selection
5) Monetary Unit Sampling
6) Block selection
Trick: PLANNING karlo ki kis AREA me sampling karni hai and kisme nahi, Fir jis bhi area me
karni hai, uss area ka ACCOUNTING SYSTEM chalake SAMPLE nikaalna UNBIASED, agar koi
bhi sample me ERROR aaya to ANALYSE karna properly
• Proper planning for Sampling methods to be used and explaining the staff,
• Areas which are not suitable for sampling should be carefully considered. E.g.: compliance
with statutory provisions, transactions of unusual nature etc.
• Thorough study of accounting system should be done before adopting Sampling.
• Sample size should be appropriately determined.
• Sample should be chosen in unbiased way,
• Errors located in the sample should be analyzed properly.
• Proper study of internal control systems.
• Transactions and balances have to be properly classified (stratified)

Express clearly an appropriately modified opinion on the financial statements that is necessary when:
• The auditor concludes, based on the audit evidence obtained, that the financial statements as
a whole are not free from material misstatement; or
• The auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to conclude that the
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement.
Answer
The auditor shall determine whether the financial statements include the comparative information
required by the applicable financial reporting framework and whether such information is appropriately
classified. For this purpose, the auditor shall evaluate whether:
(i) The comparative information agrees with the amounts and other disclosures presented in the prior
period;
(ii) The accounting policies reflected in the comparative information are consistent with those applied in
the current period or, if there have been changes in accounting policies, whether those changes have
been properly accounted for and adequately presented and disclosed.
If the auditor becomes aware of a possible material misstatement in the comparative information while
performing the current period audit, the auditor shall perform such additional audit procedures as are

necessary in the circumstances to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether a
material misstatement exists. If the auditor had audited the prior period’s financial statements, the
auditor shall also follow the relevant requirements of SA 560 (Revised).
As required by SA 580 (Revised), the auditor shall request written representations for all periods
referred to in the auditor’s opinion. The auditor shall also obtain a specific written representation
regarding any prior period item that is separately disclosed in the current year’s statement of profit and
loss.

5) Reversal of Income
If any advance, including bills purchased and discounted, becomes NPA as at the close of any year,
the entire interest accrued and credited to income account in the past periods, should be reversed or
provided for if the same is not realized. This will apply to Government guaranteed accounts also.
(not recognize income on non-performing assets until it is actually realized.)
6) NPA (Agriculture)
• Short duration crops will be treated as NPA, if the instalment of principal or interest
thereon remains overdue for 2 crop seasons and,
• A loan granted for long duration crops will be treated as NPA, if the instalment of principal
or interest thereon remains overdue for one crop season.
7) Audit of Advances
Trick: Balance sheet me jo bhi amount dikh raha h wo Poora hai & Amount due to Bank hii

➢ Divergent Trends:
The auditor should examine whether there are any divergent trends in respect of major items of
expenses.
The auditor should also verify expenses with reference to supporting documents and check the
calculations wherever required.
➢ Internal Controls:
The auditor should study and evaluate the system of internal control relating to expenses, including
authorization procedures in order to determine the nature, timing and extent of his other audit
procedures.
The auditor should perform substantive analytical procedures in respect of these expenses. eg.
assess the reasonableness of expenses by working out their ratio to total operating expenses and
comparing it with the corresponding figures for previous years.

These rules, regulations and orders against which regularity audit is conducted mainly fall under the
following categories:
Trick: Govt employee ko salar deni hai to Pahle pata karo ki Konse fund se paisa nikalna hai.. then

➢ The Propriety audit is to vet the expenditure in the annals of financial wisdom and
uprightness
➢ Expenditure has been incurred in conformity with the existing rules and regulations.
➢ Audit against propriety seeks to ensure that expenditure conforms to these principles which
have been stated as follows:
• The expenditure should not be prima facie more than the occasion demands. Every
public officer is expected to exercise the same vigilance in respect of expenditure
incurred from public moneys as a person of ordinary prudence would exercise in respect
of expenditure of his own money.
• No authority should exercise its powers of sanctioning expenditure to pass an order
which will be directly or indirectly to its own advantage.
• Public moneys should not be utilized for the benefit of a particular person or section of
the community
unless:
✓ o the amount of expenditure involved is insignificant; or
✓ o a claim for the amount could be enforced in a Court of law; or
✓ o the expenditure is in pursuance of a recognized policy or custom; and
The scope of audit has been extended to cover efficiency, economy and effectiveness audit or
performance audit, or full scope audit.
➢ Economy audit
Economy audit looks into whether government have acquired the financial, human and physical
resources in an economical manner, and whether the sanctioning and spending authorities have
observed economy.
➢ Efficiency audit
Efficiency audit looks into whether the various schemes/projects are executed, and their operations
conducted economically and whether they are yielding the results expected of them, i.e., the
relationship between goods and services produced and resources used to produce them (input output
ratio); and examination aimed to find out the extent to which operations are carried out in an
economical and efficient manner.
➢ Effectiveness audit
PRINCIPLE 1:
➢ Focus
Whether all revenues or other debts due to government have been correctly assessed, realised and
credit to government account by the designated authorities.

Pilfering is one of the greatest problems in any hotel and the importance of
internal control cannot be undermined. It is the responsibility of management
to introduce controls which will minimize the leakage as far as possible. Evidence
of their success is provided by the preparation of regular perhaps weekly,
trading accounts for each sales point and a detailed scrutiny of the resulting
profit percentages, with any deviation from the anticipated form being
investigated. The auditor should obtain these regular trading accounts for the
period under review, examine them and obtain explanations for any apparent
deviations.
Major Income ➢ Room Sales:
• The charge for room sales is normally posted to guest bills by the
receptionist/ front office or in the case of large hotels by the night
auditor. The source of these entries is invariably the guest register and
audit tests should be carried out to ensure that the correct numbers of
guests are charged for the correct period. Any difference between the
charged rates used on the guests’ bills and the standard room rate should
be investigated to ensure that they have been properly authorised.
• In many hotels, the housekeeper prepares a daily report of the rooms
which were occupied the previous night and the number of beds kept in
each room. This report tends not to be permanently retained and the
auditor should ensure that a sufficient number of reports are available for
him to test both with the guest register and with the individual guest’s bill.
• Hall Booking: The auditor should ensure that proper records re-maintained
for booking of halls and other premises for special parties and recovered on
the basis of the tariff.
• Food Income: The auditor should verify a few restaurants bills by
reference to K.O.T.s (Kitchen Order Tickets) or basic record. This would
enable the auditor to ensure that controls regarding revenue cycle are in
order
Major Expense • The hotel trade operates to very large extent on casual labour. The
records maintained of such wage payments are frequently inadequate. The
auditor should ensure that defalcation on this account does not take place
by suggesting proper controls to the management.
• The auditor should see that costs of repairs and minor renovation and
redecoration are treated as revenue expenditure, whereas costs of major
alterations and additions to the hotel building and facilities capitalised.

Major Assets – • Fixed Assets –The accounting policies for fixed assets of individual
Investment / hotels are likely to differ. However, many hotels account for certain
Inventories: quasi-fixed assets & some such as silver and cutlery on inventory
basis. This can lead to confusion between each inventory items and
similar assets which are accounted for on a more normal fixed assets
basis. In such cases, it is important that very detailed definitions of
inventory items exist and the auditor should carry out tests to ensure
that the definitions have been closely followed.
• The inventories in any hotel are both readily portable and saleable
particularly the food and beverage inventories. It is therefore
extremely important that all movements and transfers of such
inventories should be properly documented to enable control to be
exercised over each individual store’s areas and sales point. The auditor
should carry out tests to ensure that all such documentation is accurately
processed.
• Cash –
There are many problems involved in any hotel audit, some of which are
peculiar to the hotel industry such as control of cash assumes greater
proportions.
Almost all sales points in a hotel make both cash and credit sales. The
auditor should reconcile the total sales reported with the total of the
bills issued by the sales point; this total may take the form of a bill
roll or a series of numerically controlled bills. This numerical control
must be checked to ensure that all bills are included in the total. The
cash element of the sales must then be checked to the cash records and
the credit sales in total and detail to the guest’s bills.

A robust internal control system in NGO audits is crucial as it ensures accuracy and completeness of income and expenditure records, such as donations and grants. It helps in detecting errors and irregularities, ensuring accountability and reliable financial reporting, which is essential for the credibility and transparency crucial to NGOs .
Understanding the entity and its environment is essential as it establishes a frame of reference within which the auditor plans the audit and exercises professional judgment. Key aspects to consider include relevant industry and regulatory factors, the entity's financial performance, accounting policies, the nature of the entity, and its financial structure .
Factors necessitating a new audit engagement letter include revised terms of the audit engagement, indications of misunderstanding about the audit's scope, changes in senior management, significant ownership changes, changes in legal or regulatory requirements, significant changes in the entity’s business nature or size, and changes in the financial reporting framework. These changes can affect the understanding necessary for an effective audit .
The preconditions of an audit under SA 210 include determining whether the financial reporting framework is acceptable and obtaining management's agreement on responsibilities for preparing financial statements, implementing necessary internal controls, and providing the auditor with necessary access and information. These must be met to ensure the audit can be conducted effectively and to ensure all necessary information and cooperation are provided .
Key Audit Matters are identified based on areas of higher risk of material misstatement or significant risks, auditor's judgments involving significant management judgment, and the impact of significant events on the audit. These are significant to stakeholders as they highlight critical areas impacting the financial statements and provide insight into audit focus and findings .
The auditor's assessment of risks informs audit planning by identifying areas that require more focus, such as transactions or accounts with higher misstatement likelihood. Factors to assess include the entity's operations, industry conditions, and specific risks related to financial statements assertions, guiding the extent and nature of audit procedures .
In the engagement quality control review for listed entities, considerations include ensuring compliance with professional standards and regulatory requirements, raising significant matters for review, and whether the audit evaluates significant judgments sufficiently. These are crucial for maintaining audit quality and detecting areas requiring further attention .
Auditors must determine if financial statements include required comparative information and if such data is appropriately classified. They must also evaluate consistency in accounting policies across periods and address possible material misstatements in comparatives. These responsibilities ensure that financial statements provide a reliable basis for comparison and accurate historical context .
Maintaining professional skepticism throughout an audit is crucial for reducing risks associated with overlooking unusual circumstances, over-generalizing when drawing conclusions from audit observations, and using inappropriate assumptions in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures and evaluating the results .
Auditors should verify student fees by checking names entered in the Students Fee Register against Class Registers and by comparing receipts with entries in the Cash Book. They should trace collections in the Fee Register to assure proper record-keeping and fee collection accuracy, verifying that no excess or undue fees are collected .
