Table (1)

Following procedures are not included in the spreadsheet since sampling is not applicable to these procedures:

  • Procedure to check whether bank reconciliation is prepared by the controller.
  • Procedure to check whether balances in accounts payable and master file are periodically reconciled to vendors' statement.
  • Procedure to check whether controller balances the accounts payable to the general ledger every month.
  • Procedure to check whether numerical sequence of check is accounted and prepared by separate individuals

Abbreviations used in the spreadsheet are listed as follows:

  • EPER: Estimated population exception rate. Exceptions that auditor expects to be present before undertaking any procedures.
  • TER: Tolerable exception rate. Exception up to this rate is assessed as tolerable by the auditor.
  • ARO: Acceptable risk of overreliance. It is considered as medium (m) for all the procedures. It is the level of risk that auditor assumes for evaluating the controls as effective or for assessing the risk as tolerable, when the exceptions are higher than the tolerable rate.
  • SER: Sample exception rate. It is the exception demonstrated in percentage form. It is computed by dividing exceptions by the total sample size.
  • TER-SER: It is the excess of tolerable risk over the exception rate. For example, if tolerable rate is 5% and exceptions found is 3% than it shows that tolerable rate is 2% higher than the actual deviation which is a favorable situation.
