4 Qualifications required in an Auditor Professional Competence Integrity General Skills Objectivity and independence Confidentiality Skills and competence Professional behavior Professional Skepticism

5 Pre-Engagement Activities Client Acceptance or Continuance Communication between predecessor and prospective auditors Compliance with Independence and Ethical Requirements Engagement Letters Termination Letter 3-5

6 Making the Client Acceptance or Continuance Decision To comply with professional standards, the in-charge accountant or engagement leader should perform an investigation of new clients and their management. The following should be determined while conducting this investigation: The firm's independence in fact and in appearance. Qualifications of the firm to undertake the engagement. Management of the reporting entity is honest and not involved in illegal acts. The client's financial reporting system, and internal control system, will provide fairly presented financial statements.

7 Communications Between Predecessor and Successor Auditors ( ) Introduction ( ) Change of Auditors ( ) Successor Auditor's Use of Communications ( ) Audits of Financial Statements That Have Been Previously Audited ( ) Discovery of Possible Misstatements in Financial Statements Reported on by a Predecessor Auditor (.23) Effective Date (.24) Appendix A Illustrative Client Consent and Acknowledgment Letter (.25) Appendix B Illustrative Successor Auditor Acknowledgment Letter

8 Contd. Attempt to communicate is required If client permits, issues to discuss Disagreements about accounting principles or audit procedures. Communications the predecessor auditors gave the former client about fraud, illegal acts, and internal control recommendations. The predecessor auditors understanding about the reasons for the change of auditors (particularly about the predecessor auditors termination). 3-8

9 Contd..07 (Necessary to obtain information) Inquiry of the predecessor auditor is a necessary procedure because the predecessor auditor may be able to provide information that will assist the successor auditor in determining whether to accept the engagement. The successor auditor should bear in mind that, among other things, the predecessor auditor and the client may have disagreed about accounting principles, auditing procedures, or similarly significant matters..08 (Clients Consent) The successor auditor should request permission from the prospective client to make an inquiry of the predecessor auditor prior to final acceptance of the engagement. Except as permitted by the Rules of the Code of Professional Conduct, an auditor is precluded from disclosing confidential information obtained in the course of an engagement unless the client specifically consents. Thus, the successor auditor should ask the prospective client to authorize the predecessor auditor to respond fully to the successor auditor's inquiries. If a prospective client refuses to permit the predecessor auditor to respond or limits the response, the successor auditor should inquire as to the reasons and consider the implications of that refusal in deciding whether to accept the engagement.

10 Contd..09 (Specific and Reasonable inquiry) The successor auditor should make specific and reasonable inquiries of the predecessor auditor regarding matters that will assist the successor auditor in determining whether to accept the engagement. Matters subject to inquiry should include Information that might bear on the integrity of management. Disagreements with management as to accounting principles, auditing procedures, or other similarly significant matters. Communications to audit committees or others with equivalent authority and responsibility regarding fraud, illegal acts by clients, and internal-control-related matters. The predecessor auditor's understanding as to the reasons for the change of auditors

11 Contd..10 (Client s Consent) The predecessor auditor should respond promptly and fully, on the basis of known facts, to the successor auditor's reasonable inquiries. However, should the predecessor auditor decide, due to unusual circumstances such as impending, threatened, or potential litigation; disciplinary proceedings; or other unusual circumstances, not to respond fully to the inquiries, the predecessor auditor should clearly state that the response is limited. If the successor auditor receives a limited response, its implications should be considered in deciding whether to accept the engagement.

12 Compliance with Independence and Ethical Requirements The responsibilities principle requires auditors to comply with appropriate ethical requirements for each audit engagement Auditors must maintain independence in mental attitude and independence in fact Independence in appearance relates to perceptions of auditors independence A lack of independence can result in disciplinary action by regulators and/or professional organizations and litigation by those who relied on the financial statements 3-12

13 Engagement Letters When a new client is accepted or when an audit engagement continues from year to year, an engagement letter should be prepared. Acts as a contract between auditor and client. Serves as a means of reducing the risk of misunderstandings with the client and as a means of avoiding legal liability for claims that the auditors did not perform the work promised Should include: Objectives of the engagement Management s responsibilities Auditors responsibilities Any limitations of the engagement 3-13

14 Audit Plan A comprehensive list of the specific audit procedures that the audit team needs to perform to gather sufficient appropriate evidence on which to base their opinion on the financial statements When planning the engagement, the auditor needs to develop and document a plan that describes the procedures to be performed to assess the risk of material misstatement at the financial statement and assertion level The auditor must then carefully plan the nature, timing and extent of control tests and substantive tests that are designed to mitigate these risks to an acceptable level 3-14

15 Staffing the Audit Engagement Teams usually consist of the: Audit engagement partner Audit manager IT audit specialist Tax partner Quality assurance partner Audit staff For new client, companies with complex transactions and public companies, more experienced staff members are typically assigned. 3-15

16 Considering the Work of Internal Auditors Must obtain an understanding of a client s internal audit department and its work Audit efficiency can be realized when the two groups work together Prior to using the work of internal auditors, external auditors should consider internal auditors objectivity and competence Internal auditors should not be delegated tasks that require extensive professional judgment 3-16

17 Use of Specialists Specialists are persons skilled in fields other than accounting and auditing who are not members of the audit team Auditors must know about the specialist s professional qualifications, experience and reputation Should be unrelated to the company being audited Auditors should obtain an understanding of the specialist s methods and assumptions Specialists are not referred to in the audit report unless the specialists findings cause the auditors report to be modified 3-17

18 Use of IT Auditors Specialized skills are often needed to evaluate the effect of computerized processing on the audit, to understand the flow of transactions, or to design and perform audit procedures IT auditors are members of the audit team and are called in when the need for their skills arises Audit managers and partners should possess sufficient knowledge to know when to call on specialists and to supervise their work 3-18

19 Time Budget Used to maintain control of the audit by identifying problem areas early in the engagement, thereby ensuring that the engagement is completed on a timely basis Interim audit work refers to procedures performed several weeks or months before the balance sheet date Year-end audit work refers to procedures performed shortly before and after the balance sheet date 3-19

20 Time Reports Everyone who works on the audit engagement is required to report the time taken to perform procedures for each phase of the audit Helps in evaluating the efficiency of the audit team members Compiling a record for billing the client Compiling a record for planning the next audit 3-20

21 Materiality Materiality refers to an amount (or transaction) that would influence the decisions of users (i.e., an amount (or event) that would make a difference). The emphasis is on user, rather than management or the audit team. Materiality Criteria: Quantitative Criteria: Is the potential dollar misstatement in the FS Qualitative Criteria Potential breaches of laws and regulations Inadequate disclosure of accounting policies Ultimately, materiality is a matter of professional judgment. 3-21

22 Using Materiality on the Audit As a guide to planning substantive procedures directing attention and audit work to those items or accounts that are important, uncertain, or susceptible to errors or frauds. As a guide to evaluation of the evidence.

As a guide for making decisions about the audit report. 3-22

23 Auditing Procedures Ticking (indicates the placing of a mark, pencil, pen etc) Casting (checking books of accounts of financial statements; arithmetical accuracy) Calling over (comparison of entries in two or more books of an entry) Vouching (cross checking; documentary evidence, invoices, cash memos, bills, receipts, vouchers etc) Verification (verify balance sheet items) Reporting (submit report in accordance with companies ordinance 1984; banking ordinance 1962; insurance law 1938)
