various parties interested in the financial affairs of the entity. It is due to the independence
of the auditor, leading to an objective report, that the risk of people being misled by untrue or
fraudulent financial statement is minimized. As a by-product, managements get attuned to
open and truthful financial statements.

➢ Informed, objective and forthright opinion


The principal advantage of an independent audit lies in the fact that the society is able to get
an informed, objective and forthright opinion on the financial statements of enterprises which
are used in making significant economic decisions by interested segments of the society,
e.g., shareholders, trade payables, bankers, etc. Irrespective of the fact whether audit is
compulsory, statutory or voluntary, the audit of accounts by an independent professional
auditor becomes important for every individual and every type of Organization is only through
audited accounts by an independent professional auditor that the shareholders of a company
are assured that the funds invested by them are safe and they are being used for only the
purposes for which they were raised and collected. The chief utility of audit lies in ensuring
reliable financial statements on the basis of which the state of affairs may be easy to
understand. Information contained in the statement of accounts of a business are primarily
intended for the owners.

3. Benefits of adequate planning

Engt. Team ko Important torr pe manage karta h………………….

Tricks Head points


Engagement team ko : 1. Assisting in the selection of
engagement team members with
appropriate levels of capabilities and
competence to respond to anticipated
risk
2. direction and supervision of
engagement team members
3. coordination of work done by auditors

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”

M – Materiality : determination of materiality


A - analytical procedures to be applied as risk assessment procedures.

5. Significant points auditor would consider while developing an audit programme

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 ?..

Tricks Head points


Planning Audit planning : The audit planning ideally
commences at the conclusion of the previous
year’s audit, and along with the related
programme, it should be reconsidered for
modification as the audit progresses
Writing Written Audit Programme
Assistants Audit objective and instruction to assistants
kisko kya karna h..kon konse Internal control Reliance on Internal Controls
check karne
Kab karne h? Timings of performance of audit procedures

6. Advantages of Audit Programme

3 Points are same as importance of audit plan:

• 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.

7. Dis-advantages of Audit Programme

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

10. Factors for deciding Benchmark : SA 320:

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.

11. Various fields from which Auditor will pick up Evidence:

• 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)

Trick: A4R2IS2E2

• A- whether an adequate internal control system is in use and operating as planned by the management;
• A- whether any administrative control has a bearing on his work (for example, if the control over worker
recruitment and enrolment is weak, there is a likelihood of dummy names being included in the wages sheet
and this is relevant for the auditor);
• A- what would be appropriate audit technique and the audit procedure in the given circumstances;
• A- what are the areas where control is weak and where it is excessive; and

• R- how far and how adequately the management is discharging its function in so far as correct recording of
transactions is concerned;
• R- how reliable the reports, records and the certificates to the management can be;

• I- whether an effective internal auditing department is operating;

• S- whether the controls adequately safeguard the assets;

1) Fraud (SA-240):

An intentional act by one or more individuals among


• Management,
• Those charged with governance (TCWG) ,
• Employees, or
• 3rd parties,

To deceive, to mislead or at least to conceal the truth to obtain an unjust or illegal


advantage.

2) Techniques of Fraudulent financial reporting.

• Omitting, advancing or delaying recognition in the financial statements of events and


transactions that have occurred during the reporting period
• Altering records and terms related to significant and unusual transactions.
• Concealing, or not disclosing, facts that could affect the amounts recorded in
the financial statements
• Recording fictitious journal entries, particularly close to the end of an
accounting period, to manipulate operating results or achieve other objectives
• Inappropriately adjusting assumptions and changing judgments used to estimate
account balances
• Engaging in complex transactions that are structured to misrepresent the financial
position or financial performance of the entity

3) Techniques of Misappropriation of assets

• Embezzling receipts (for example, misappropriating collections on accounts receivable


or diverting receipts in respect of written-off accounts to personal bank accounts).
• Stealing physical assets or intellectual property (for example, stealing inventory for
personal use or for sale, stealing scrap for resale, colluding with a competitor by
disclosing technological data in return for payment).
• Using an entity’s assets for personal use (for example, using the entity’s assets as
collateral for a personal loan or a loan to a related party).
• Causing an entity to pay for goods and services not received (for example, payments
to fictitious vendors, kickbacks paid by vendors to the entity’s purchasing agents in
return for inflating prices, payments to fictitious employees).

CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46

4) Fraud Risk Factor:

➢ 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

5) Instances which induce Management/Employees to commit fraud:

• Financial obligations/ Pressure. Management’s unrealistic goals.


• Dissatisfied Employees or Lack of motivation among employees.
• Opportunity to commit fraud.
• Name game (e.g. management using power of authority by asking employees to do
something illegal).

6) Fraud Indicators - Discrepancies in the accounting records

Trick: Tip mili ki Fraud hai udhar, Fir humne jaake check kara to sahi me Accounting record me
discrepancy thi, Kuch chize Record hii nahi thi, Kuch Unauthorisely record thi… hum udhar
pahuche tab wo log last minute me bhaga dodii kar rhe the…

1) Tips or complaints to the auditor about alleged fraud


2) Discrepancies in the accounting records
3) Transactions that are not recorded in a complete or timely manner or are improperly
recorded a to amount, accounting period, classification, or entity policy.
4) Unsupported or unauthorized balances or transactions.
5) Evidence of employees’ access to systems and records inconsistent with that necessary to
perform their authorized duties.
6) Last-minute adjustments that significantly affect financial results.

7) Unusual relationships between the auditor and management, including:

Trick: Management khoodd hi Senior ko Complaint kar ra h ki audit time pe khatam nii hori, orr
wo khood hi data de nii rha (Deny), de rha h to delay se de raha h, meri koi baat nii maanra

➢ 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
• Unusual delays by the entity in providing requested information.

➢ Koi baat nii maan ra:

• An unwillingness to add or revise disclosures in the financial statements to make them


completer and more understandable.
• An unwillingness to address identified deficiencies in internal control on a timely basis.

8) Ways to commit Misappropriation of cash

Receipt kam dikhaai:


• Not accounting for cash sales fully.
• Not accounting for miscellaneous receipts
• Adjusting unauthorised or fictitious rebates, allowances, discounts, etc. to
customer accounts
• Writing off as debts in respect of such balances against which cash has already been
received but has been misappropriated.
• Teeming and Lading

Payment Jyada Dikhaaya:

• inflating cash payments.


✓ payments against fictitious vouchers.
✓ amounts whereof have been inflated.

4) IT poses specific risks to an entity’s internal control:

IT Personnel:

1. Possibility of Information Technology personnel gaining access beyond those necessary to


perform their assigned duties thereby breaking down segregation of duties.

Data ko:

2. Unauthorized access to data resulting in destruction of data or improper changes to data.


3. Potential loss of data or inability to access data as required.

System me daalke Process karenge:

4. Failure to make necessary changes to systems/ programs.


5. Unauthorized change to system/ program.
6. Reliance on systems/ programs inaccurately processing data or processing inaccurate data.

7. Unauthorized changes to data in Master files


8. Inappropriate manual intervention.

5) How risks in IT systems, if not mitigated, could have an impact on audit

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 Substantive Audit:

• cannot rely on the data obtained from system.


• system data and reports should be tested substantively for completeness and accuracy
• more audit evidence 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: Its process, Program Change ki request do..then process hoga change ka………

• Change Requests – record, manage, track.


• Change Management Process – definition, roles & responsibilities.
• Making Changes – analyse, design, develop
• Test Changes – test plan, test cases, UAT Apply Changes in Production Emergency & Minor
Changes
• Documentation – user/technical manuals
• User Training

7) Components of General IT Controls:

(i) Access security (Trick: Turn on computer, Enter password)


(ii) Application system acquisition, development, and maintenance (Trick:Chrome)

9) Uses of Data Analytics:

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

• Are there any weaknesses in IT controls?


• What is the impact of these weaknesses on overall audit?
• Report deficiencies to management – Internal Controls Memo or Management Letter.
• Communicate in writing any significant deficiencies to Those Charged With Governance.

AUDIT SAMPLING (SA 530)


Telegram: t.me/cahemantsomani Learn with Rankers!! Youtube: CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46
CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46

1) Sampling Risk (SA 530)

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

➢ Sampling risk can lead to two types

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.

➢ Sources of Non Sampling risk are:

• Human Mistakes
• Applying audit procedures not appropriate to the objectives of audit
• Relying on erroneous information e.g. erroneous confirmation
• Misinterpreting the sample results

2) Factor effecting Sample size

Trick: RSM-STS

S Stratification of the When a population cannot be appropriately stratified, the


population when appropriate sample size from the population generally will be Higher
Decrease than the sample size that would have been required
T An increase in the auditor’s The greater the level of assurance that the auditor

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

• Size of the organisation under audit. (Big)


• State of the internal control. (Strong)
• Adequacy and reliability of books and records. (Accurate & Reliable)
• Tolerable error range. (Not very small)
• Degree of the desired confidence. (Not very high)

4) Advantages of Statistical Sampling

Trick: kitni bhi “LARGE” “Population” ho CMO ko sambhalni hi padegi

• 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

6) Precautions of Test Check-

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)

1) Analytical procedures”

Means evaluation of financial information through analysis of plausible relationships among both
financial and non-financial data.

Analytical procedures also encompass such investigation as is necessary of identified fluctuations or


relationships that are inconsistent with other relevant information or that differ from expected
values by a significant amount.

Examples of Comparison of Financial Data:

• Comparable information for prior periods


• Anticipated results of the entity, such as budgets or forecasts, or expectations of
the auditor, such as an estimation of depreciation.
• Auditor’s own estimate
• Similar industry information

2) Techniques available as Substantive Analytical Procedures.

Alphabetical order tick: RST

1) Ratio Analysis
2) Reasonableness Tests
3) Structural modelling
4) Trend Analysis (Data Comparisons with previous year)

3) SUBSTANTIVE ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES -- STEPS

Trick: Mummy wo ladka mere liye SUITABLE nahi hai, bilkul RELIABLE nahi h, meri EXPECTATION se

(i) Determine the suitability of particular substantive analytical procedures for given assertions, taking
account of the assessed risks of material misstatement and tests of details, if any, for these
assertions;
(ii) Evaluate the reliability of data from which the auditor’s expectation of recorded amounts or ratios
is developed, taking account of source, comparability, and nature and relevance of information
available, and controls over preparation;
(iii) Develop an expectation of recorded amounts or ratios and evaluate whether the expectation is
sufficiently precise to identify a misstatement that, individually or when aggregated with other
misstatements, may cause the financial statements to be materially misstated; and
(iv) Determine the amount of any difference of recorded amounts from expected values that is
acceptable without further investigation and if analytical procedures performed in accordance with
this SA identify fluctuations or relationships that are inconsistent with other relevant information

or that differ from expected values by a significant amount, the auditor shall investigate such
differences by:
✓ Inquiring of management and obtaining appropriate audit evidence relevant to management’s
responses; and
✓ Performing other audit procedures as necessary in the circumstances.

4) Extent of Reliance on Analytical Procedures (Factor affecting reliability of Data)

Trick: SC-NC

• Source of the information available.


• Comparability of the information available.
• Nature and Relevance of the information available.
• Controls over the preparation of the information that are designed to ensure its
completeness, accuracy and validity.

audit of the financial statements of the current period. Key audit matters are selected
from matters communicated with those charged with governance.

1) Factors determining Key Audit Matters: [RJS]

(i) Areas of higher assessed risk of material misstatement [ROMM], or significant risks identified
in accordance with SA 315 Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement through
Understanding the Entity and Its Environment.

SA 705 – MODIFICATIONS TO THE OPINION


IN THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

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.

SA 710 – MODIFICATIONS TO THE OPINION


IN THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Q.Write a short note on Auditor's responsibilities regarding comparatives.

Answer

SA 710, “Comparative Information – Corresponding Figures and Comparative Financial Statements”,


establishes standards on the auditor’s responsibilities regarding comparatives.

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
Telegram: t.me/cahemantsomani Learn with Rankers!! Youtube: CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46
CA Hemant Somani | AIR-46

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.

3) Special points in an audit of HOTELS.

5 Head trick ICAI Head Points:


Law & Internal Internal Control sahi nahi hoga to pilferage to hoga hi… ye management ki
Control System responsibility h ki IC accha rakhe and regularly P&L banaae… Jisse koi bhi
deviation ho to pahle hi pata pad jaae…..

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.

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 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 .

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 .

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 .
