  • I've had a few people ask WHY we test internal controls, so I thought I'd make this short overview about why and how we test internal controls, analyse the results and the impact on our audit strategy and the rest of the audit.

    What is the difference between test of design and implementation and test of operating effectiveness? Are both part of test of controls?

    • @amandalovestoaudit
      @amandalovestoaudit  Před 2 lety +9

      You can't really test the design - you can evaluate the design and whether you think it will be effective at preventing or detecting misstatements - hence when you Assess CR, this is what you are doing. When you implement your audit strategy - you use that CR assessment to determine how much testing of operating effectiveness you are going to do. The evaluation of the design is really the Risk Assessment phase

      Design tests are related to framework. For example lets say you are testing vendor management. In design test you will check whether the company has a vendor management policy and procedure that details about the particular control.
      In operating effectiveness test, you check out how much adherence is there to the policy and procedures

    Hi Professor Amanda, thank you for your videos.

Wished I have seen your videos years ago 🙂 Keep up the great work
