purpose;
(b) identify the management's assertions when presenting the financial
statements;

THE PURPOSE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT AND MANAGEMENT'S:
ASSERTIONS —
Financial statements are primarily the responsibility of the entity's
management who makes the following assertions:
existence or of transactions that result to reported assets,
liabilities and equity at the reporting date and income and expenses for the
reporting period.
com| information presented in the financial statements that are
the results of the transactions and other events that actually occurred
during the reporting period.
(ei or control over all reported assets, and adligations for reported
liabilities at the reporting date,
appropriate use of measurement bases for assets, liabilities and equity and
recognition of income and expenses In accordance with the revenue and
expense recognition principles applicable; and

components od accompanying notes to the financial Sees to the
effect that the substance and not merely the legal form of the recordeg
, transactions is communicated to the users.
External users, mainly investors and other ; stakeholders, use the
information. contained in the financial statements in making judgments about the
enterprise to formulate decisions. There may be instances, however, that a SPECific
Concern of the entity's management may be in conflict with the information needs
of the users. Thus, an external audit is necessary to determine whether the
financial statements issued by the management are free of biases and are prepared
in accordance with the appropriate financial reporting framework. This reporting
framework aims to present information that is relevant and reliable for the decision
needs of the external users.
The external auditor conducts an independent examination of the financial
statements to address each of the foregoing assertions of the management.
THE AUDIT PROCESS
The audit process starts when a reporting entity engages the services of an
independent auditor for an independent examination of its financial statements and
concludes when an auditor issues an audit opinion based on the assessment of the
evidence gathered in the course of the conduct of audit procedures and assessment
of evidence gathered therefrom.
The following are the major phases in a financial statement audit: |
{
(a) _ pre-engagement activities;
(b) audit planning and evaluation of internal control;
(c) _ evidence gathering; and
(d) reporting.
16 j
(a) Pre-Engagement Activities
Pre-engagement activities are procedures conducted to determine whether
or not to accept a new engagement or retai r
t or reject a prospective client, the auditor
should consider the client’s business ae Client,
nt’s Putation, the changes in client’s ownership
or management and the client’s reporting Practices,
. P Likewise, the auditor should
determine whether he or she and his or her audit team possess the necessary skills,
resources and competence to complete the audit within the period specified by the
engagement. The pre-engagement activities are designed to manage conflicts and
threats to the auditor. The auditor should not accept an engagement, when based
on his or her assessment, his or her independence would be compromised. In
Scanned with CamScannerChapter 1 - Basic Concepts of Financial Statement Audit
repeat engagements, subsequent relationships established shall be assessed to
‘determine whether independence has not been compromised. If the engagement is
accepted or retained, the terms shall be documented in an engagement letter.
((b) Audit Planning & e
- 5
Audit planning involves evaluation of internal control to determine the
extent of audit procedures necessary to be performed. The audit planning phase
requires active involvement of the whole audit team, from the partner in charge
down to the audit staff. It includes the following tasks:
(1) obtaining an understanding of the client, its business, industry and
accounting policies; ¥
(2) obtaining an understanding of the client's internal control system;
(3) a8S62Slig MatShAlity Sitd audit risk;--cricion
(4) identifying audit objectives;
(5) determining whether reliance can be placed on certain controls in
the system;
(6) determining the nature, extent and timing of substantive tests to
be performed; and
(7) designing and finalizing the audit program.
(c) Evidence-Gathering or Audit Documentation
The evidence-gathering (audit documentation) phase must accomplish the
objective of documenting the fact that the audit was adequately planned and
sufficient, competent evidential matter is obtained that serves as the basis for the
audit opinion reached (International Standards on Auditing 230 Audit
Documentation par. 5).
The evidence gathered must both be sufficient and competent. Sufficiency
Tefers to the quantity of evidence an auditor acquires and competence refers to the
relevance, validity and reliability of the evidence acquired. Audit evidence consists
of both accounting data (business documents, journals and ledgers) and
corroborating information (cancelled checks, invoices, contracts, promissory notes,
written representations from customers and vendors, etc.) that supports accounting
data. Because of the time element involved in completing the audit, the
examination of evidence is made on a test basis. The auditors test samples of
transactions and generalize the results to the population from which the ‘samples
were drawn. This requires that the evidence gathered be persuasive rather than
merely convincing. !
The audit procedures applied by. the auditor are selected based on the audit
objectives, the quantity and types of evidence available, materiality and the
assessed level of audit risk. An audit evidence acquired may address one or more
Scanned with CamScannerChapter 1 - Basic Concepts of Financial Statement Audit
audit objectives, and in some instances, a series of audit and may be
Necessary to address one audit objective. The following are Ly
‘audit procedures applied by the auditor:
‘aining written statements from a third party;
obtaining written and oral information from management,
employees and others;
= obtaining internal evidence and external evidence (for
example: contracts, minutes of meetings, vouchers, bank statements,
ete.);
lishing trends and valid relationships of information;
establishing correctness of account balances; and
verifying mathematical accuracy of account sg
data (tracings, footings and cross-footings).
The foregoing and other audit procedures are carried out to perform ty
of controls and substantive tests. Tests of controls are conducted to assess
ability of the company’s internal controls to prevent or detect meters)

(d) information relating to’the completeness, validity and accuracy of

The form, content and extent of audit documentation depend on factors,

* the nature and extent of exceptions identified;
* the need to document a conclusion or the basis for a conclusion not readily
determinable from the documentation of the work performed or evidence
obtained;
+ the audit methodology and tools used.
h Specifically, the audit file documentation serves to:
(a) organize and coordinate all phases of the audit engagement;
(b) provide evidence to demonstrate that the planned audit procedures
were in fact performed;
(c) aid partners in reviewing the work performed by audit staff members;
(d) provide evidence that the auditors complied with the auditing
standards;
(e) document the judgments involved in forming the audit opinion;
(f) aid in planning and conducting future audits of the client; and
(g) provide information in rendering additional services to the audit client
(say, in preparing income tax returns and in making recommendations
for improvement of the client’s internal control procedures.)

Cross references to supporting documentation and evidence that the financial
statements agree with the underlying accounting records.
The auditors usually maintain two files of audit documentation for each
client: (1) current files for each year's engagement and pertain to
documentation relating to that year’s examination and (2) the permanent file of
telatively unchanging data (for example, articles of incorporation).
‘The following are examples of current files in the audit documentation:
* — working trial balance;
* a-summary of audit adjusting and classifying entries;
* — lead schedule;
* bank reconciliation;
* aged accounts receivable;
* minutes of meetings during the reporting period; and
* narrative documentation summarizing ‘bases for resolutions
involving uncertainties,
Examples of permanent file in audit documentation ate as follows:
articles of incorporation;
corporate by laws;
copy of pension contract with funding agency;
copy of trust indentures for long-term debt; and
copy of the effective collective bargaining agreement.
The audit documentation, which generally is in the form of audit working
Papers, must be organized in a logical manner using an indexing system so that the
working papers and other documents can be easily located and shared among audit
team members. The working papers and other documents should be organized in a
manner that facilitates file review and quality control Monitoring by the manager,
engagement partner, quality control reviewer/monitor,
Audit documents are the property of the audit firm. However, much of the
information in working papers is confidential, and generally must not be made
available to outsiders without the consent of the client.
Scanned with CamScannerChapter 1 - Basic Concepts of Financial Statement Audit
Under no circumstances should the workin
1d papers be destroyed after the
have been subpoenaed or after an announcement has been imade for itigation
involving an engagement. If the auditors are charged with negligence, their audit
working papers serve as a major basis to refute or substantiate such a charge.
The major types of audit working Papers include administrative working
papers, supporting schedules, adjusting journal entries and reclassification entries,
supporting schedules, analyses, reconciliations and other computational working
papers, and corroborating documents. :
rs Administrative working papers aid the auditors in the planning and
administration of engagements, and include the audit plans ahd audit programs,
time budgets, internal control questionnaires and flowcharts and engagement
letter. They may take the form of a narrative documentation that summarizes the
phases of audit work performed on the engagement.
In the risk assessment phase, the documentation relates to preengagement
procedures, independence and ethics assessment, terms of engagement,
materiality consideration, overall audit strategy, audit team discussions which may
include possible causes of material misstatements in the financial statements, risk
assessment procedures performed and the results, assessed risk of material
misstatement identified based on the understanding of the entity and related
internal control, significant risks, and communication with management and those
charged with governance. (Guide to Using ISAs in the Audits of SMEs)
(d) Reporting
The auditor should review and assess the.conclusions drawn from the audit
evidence obtained as the basis for the expression of an opinion on the financial
statements. The auditor’s report should contain a clear written expression of an
opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole.
Based on the results of the evaluations made, the auditor would determine
what form of audit report is appropriate in the circumstances.
“Types of Audit Reports e
The auditor should evaluate the conclusions drawn from the audit evidence
obtained as the basis for forming an opinion on the financial statements. (ISA 700,
The Independent Auditor’s Report on the Financial Statements, par. 4). There are
two general types of audit report: unmodified and modified.
(1) Unmodified opinion
it its are presented
When the auditor concludes that the financial statement
fairly, in all material respects, with the applicable financial reporting framework (at
Scanned with CamScannerChapter I - Basic Concepts of Financial Statement Audit
the present time, the International Financial Reporting ‘Standards oF the
International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium Sized Entities),
an unmodified (or unqualified) opinion would be appropriate. An unqualifieg
opinion should be expressed when the auditor concludes that the financia|
statements give a true and fair view (or are presented fairly, in all materiaj
respects) in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework (par. 35
ISA 700).
2)” Modified opinion
When based on the audit evidence obtained, the financial statements as a
whole are not free from material misstatement or when sufficient appropriate audit
evidence could not be obtained to conclude that the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, a modified opinion is expressed. A modified
opinion may take the form of a qualified opinion, adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion,
A qualified opinion should be expressed when either (1) sufficient
appropriate audit evidence was obtained, but the auditor concludes that
misstatements exist, individually or in the aggregate, that are material but not
Pervasive to the financial statements or (2) the auditor is unable to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion and that the
possible effects on the financial statements of undetected misstatements, if any,
could be material but not pervasive. A qualified opinion should be worded as being
“except for the effects (or the possible effects) of the matter to which the
qualification relates.
An adverse opinion should be expressed when the effects of misstatements
are both material and pervasive. -This opinion applies where sufficient appropriate
evidence was obtained, but the auditor concludes that misstatements, individually
or in the aggregate, are both material and Pervasive to the financial statements.
An adverse opinion states that the financial statements do not Present fairly the
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the entity audited.
A disclaimer of opinion (which basically means giving no opinion) should be
expressed when-the possible effects of undetected misstatements, if any, could be
both material and pervasive. This opinion is expressed when the auditor is unable
to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, and
concludes that the possible effects of undetected misstatements, if any, could be
both material and pervasive. This opinion also applies to extremely rare
circumstances where in conditions of major uncertainties and their possible effects
on the financial statements, it is not possible to form an opinion.

‘The Working Trial Balance and the Audit Adjusting Entries _
The working trial balance is a schedule listing the balances of accounts in ~
the general ledger for the current and previous year, with columns for adjusting
entries, reclassification entries, and the financial statement amounts.
The working trial balance is of two types:
(1) one-section trial balance, which looks like an ordinary worksheet
and lists all ledger accounts. A pair of columns is maintained for
each of the following: trial balance, adjustments and
reclassifications, adjusted ‘profit or loss accounts and adjusted
financial position accounts. «
(2) two-section trial balance, which is divided into two components:
the working comprehensive income and the working financial
position. Each section provides a separate column for unadjusted
balances, adjustments and reclassifications and adjusted balances.
The working trial balance shows the results of all adjustments and
reclassifications made as a result of detailed audit of account balances. Thus, audit
adjusting entries developed from a cash count of petty cash, bank reconciliation
statement, confirmation and analysis of accounts receivable, analysis of property,
plant and equipment, etc. are summarized in the working trial balance.
Adjusting and reclassifying entries are a list of auditors’ adjustments in the
client prepared financial statements to bring the account balances to correct
balances. When the auditors discover errors or irregularities in the accounting
records of a client, they propose adjusting entries to correct the accounting records.
Also, the auditors develop reclassification entries for items that, although correctly
recorded in the accounting records, must be reclassified for fair presentation of the
financial statements.
A lead schedule is used to combine several amounts which total to a line
item in the financial statements. For example a lead schedule is prepared to list the
different cash on hand and cash in bank that is shown as a single line item “Cash”
on the face of the statement of financial position.

The audit adjusting and reclassification entries are not necessarily posted in
the books of the client. Audit adjustments and reclassifications are still effected
through the nominal accounts and real accounts of the client, regardless as to
whether the client’s books have been closed or are still open, because as previously
stated, because their purpose is to correct the client-prepared financial statements.
The trial balance shown overleaf is a one-section trial balance, listing in
one-section both the profit or loss accounts and the balance sheet accounts. A
working trial balance may also be prepared in a two-section format, separating the
profit or loss accounts from the balance sheet accounts. Notice that the audit
adjustments and reclassifications listed on pages 10 and 11 are a
a ppropriately
posted to the adjustment columns of the working trial balance. .
