5 Nature of Auditing Auditing is the accumulation and evaluation of evidence about information to determine and report on the degree of correspondence between the information and established criteria. Auditing should be done by a competent, independent person Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 1-5

6 Information and Established Criteria To do an audit, there must be information in a verifiable form and some standards (criteria) by which the auditor can evaluate the information Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 1-6

7 Accumulating Evidence and Evaluating Evidence Evidence is any information used by the auditor to determine whether the information being audited is stated in accordance with the established criteria Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 1-7

8 Competent, Independent Person The auditor must be qualified to understand the criteria used and must be competent to know the types and amount of evidence to accumulate to reach the proper conclusion after the evidence has been examined. The competence of the individual performing the audit is of little value if he or she is biased in the accumulation and evaluation of evidence Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 1-8

9 Audit Report The final stage in the auditing process is preparing the Audit Report, which is the communication of the auditor s findings to users Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 1-9

15 Learning Objective 4 List the causes of information risk, and explain how this risk may be reduced Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 1-15
