of accounts is assured with the help of the independent review. Audit is performed to ascertain
the validity and reliability of information. Examination of books and accounts with supporting
vouchers and documents to detect and prevent error, fraud is the primary function of
auditing.Auditor has to check the effectiveness of internal control systems for determining the
extent of checking out the audit. The auditor has to ascertain whether the persons are responsible
for the maintenance of accounts had adequately accounted for all the cash receipts and the
payment on behalf of this principle. In short, an audit implies an investigation and a report. The
process of checking and vouching continues until the study is completed and the auditor enables
himself to report under the terms of his appointment.

system.

4. DEPRECIATION CHARGES: -
Falling in the value of assets is referred to as depreciation. In other words, Depreciation is
defined as the wear and tear that is incurred on the asset as a result of usage, or time. Therefore,
under the accounting law, organizations are supposed to record this as an expense on the Income
Statement, and a reduced (carried down value) in the Balance Sheet.
When it comes to Income statements, depreciation expense tends to be one of the most
significant expenses that are incurred by the company. Regardless of the fact that it is a non
cash expense, yet it has a massive impact on profitability.
Even with the Balance Sheet, depreciation tends to be a highly deterministic factor because it
directly impacts the value of the assets on the balance sheet. Since the carrying value of assets
can phenomenally change as a result of depreciation, it is highly likely to result in an
uninformed decision taken by the investor.
Therefore, auditing depreciation expense tends to be a highly important factor from the
perspective of the auditing partner, and hence, it should be audited in a proper manner.
CHARACTERSTICS OF DEPRECIATION:
TYPES OF DEPRECIATION:
There are four types of depreciation and these include unit of production, the straight line,
falling balance, double-declining balance, the sum of the year’s digits, and declining balance.
STRAIGHT-LINE
The simplest approach to track depreciation is by using the straight-line method. It records an
equal depreciation expenditure every year for the duration of the asset’s useful life, up until
the point at which the entire asset has been depreciated to its savage value.
DECLINING BALANCE
A technique for accelerated depreciation is the diminishing balance approach. The machine
is depreciated using this approach at its annual straight-line depreciation percentage times
its remaining depreciable value. The carrying value of an asset is higher in earlier years;
therefore, the same percentage results in a higher in earlier expenditure amount in the early
years, which decreases each year.
DOUBLE-DECLINING BALANCE
Another technique for accelerated depreciation is the double-declining balance (DDB) method.
This rate is applied to the depreciable base, which is the asset’s book value, for the
remaining portion of the estimated life of the asset after multiplying the asset‘s useful life by
its reciprocal and by two. As a result, it is nearly twice as quick as the decreasing balance
approach.
DDB = (Net Book Value - Salvage Value) x (2 / Useful Life) x Depreciation Rate.
Date of purchase of asset and date of put to use of the asset to be verified for calculation
of the depreciation
Ensure whether installation has been completed to charge depreciation or considered
as work in progress.
Ascertain useful life of the asset with the technical expert.
Whether depreciation has been created according to account policy (straight line, declining
dep) of the company.
5. VERIFICATION OF ASSETS:
A verification process involves an investigation into the worth of the asset, its ownership and
title, and possession of or charges to the assets. It defines the verification of assets as a
procedure in which investigators use to verify the accuracy of the right-hand portion of the
balance sheet. It is considered to have three distinct goals:
Thus, verification of assets could be described as a method of verifying the existence of assets
listed in the account’s books through physical inspection as well as an examination of official
and legal documents before forming an expert opinion regarding the ownership, existence of
assets, their classification, and the value of assets belonging to an organization.
(a) that the assets were in existence on the date of the balance sheet.
(b) that the assets had been acquired for the purpose of the business and under a proper authority.
(c) that the right of ownership of the assets vested in or belonged to the undertaking.
(d) that they were free from any lien or charge not disclosed in the balance sheet.
(e) that they had been correctly valued having regard to their physical condition and
(f) that their values are correctly disclosed in the balance sheet.
OBJECTIVES OF VERIFICATION
(3) Whether the Balance Sheet exhibits a true and fair financial position of the concern
VERIFICATION OF LIABILITES:
Liabilities are legal obligations of the organization to third parties. It is in the form of Capital,
Debentures, Long term loans, payment to suppliers against goods andexpenses, contingent
liabilities etc. Verification of liabilities is as important as verification of assets. If liabilities are
not properly verified and valued, the Balance Sheet will not reveal a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of a business concern. The main objective of verifying liabilities is to ensure that
all the liabilities are properly disclosed, valued, classified and presented in the Balance Sheet.
The diagram given below shows the various types and classifications of liabilities.
VERIFICATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITES AUDIT POINTS: -
“Proving the truth “or “confirming” are the definitions of verification. Verification is a
step in the auditing process when the auditor confirms the existence of the assets and
liabilities listed in the statement of financial position. Verification is often carried out checking
for things existence, ownership, title, and possession, as well as an accurate value and the
presence of any liens on assets.
