OBJECTIVE OF CONDUCTING AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OBJECTIVE OF CONDUCTING AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ISA 200 states
The objective of an audit of financial statements is to enable the auditor to express an opinion whether the financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an identified reporting framework.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
In order to develop audit objectives, the auditing firm must:

Divide financial statements into cycles;

a. Sales and collections cycle

b. Acquisition and payment cycle

c. Payroll cycle

d. Inventory cycle

e. Capital acquisition and repayment cycle.

Auditors typically divide the financial statements into components or segments in order to make the audit more manageable, and auditors will be able to work more effectively. A component can be a financial statement account or a business (transaction cycle) process. This approach allows the auditor to gather evidence by examining the processing of related transactions through the accounting system from their origin to their ultimate disposition in the accounting journals and ledgers. Thus, the auditor can examine an accounting transaction from the time it is initiated by the entity until its final recording in the financial statement accounts.

Audit of Inventory Cycle

The primary reason auditors observe their client taking the physical inventory is to make sure the inventory reflected on the balance sheet actually exists and that the balance sheet includes all inventory owned by the company. This includes all raw materials, supplies, inventory in transit when using Free on Board (FOB) shipping point, inventory the company may have on consignment with another business, and inventory stored off the premises. Confirming the existence of inventory through your observations addresses the occurrence and completeness assertions as well.

The auditor's objective concerning valuation is to obtain evidence that amount at which inventories have been valued is computed on an appropriate basis.
