Audit of Items of Financial Statements requires you to understand how different financial statement items are verified and what audit procedures apply to each. You may find it difficult to distinguish between assertions such as existence, completeness, valuation and rights and obligations. Applying the correct procedures to inventory, share capital, trade receivables, expenses and other items can also be challenging during examinations.
PW offers 3 video sessions to help you study this chapter through detailed explanations, assertion-based learning, practical examples, charts, memory techniques and examination-oriented questions. These lessons help you understand the connection between financial statement items, audit evidence and verification procedures.
Before starting, refer to the CA Intermediate Auditing and Ethics syllabus to check the chapter structure and organise your preparation according to your examination attempt.
This Fastrack Batch lesson introduces the chapter through three major areas: assertions, balance sheet captions and income statement or profit and loss captions. It connects classes of transactions, account balances, presentation and disclosure with external confirmation and audit procedures.
The session also discusses management representation, audit programmes and sufficient appropriate audit evidence. It highlights the importance of accounting knowledge, auditing standards and legal provisions while studying the chapter.
Choose this lesson if you want to organise the chapter before detailed study. Prepare short notes while watching and connect each assertion with the relevant audit procedure. You can also refer to CA Intermediate Auditing and Ethics notes by PW to revise related concepts and important audit terminology.
