Audit Planning and Control

Week 8 Assignment 2 – Audit Planning and Control
Overview
It is common industry knowledge that an audit plan provides the specific guidelines auditors must follow when conducting an external audit. External public
accounting firms conduct external audits to ensure outside stakeholders that the company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Use the Internet to select a public company that appeals to you. You may also use the company dossier in the Nexis Uni database to find company
information.
Imagine that you are a senior partner in a public accounting firm hired to complete an audit for the chosen public company.
Instructions

test, and select at least three analytical procedures that you would use in your audit.

include, but not be limited to, the type of evidence to collect and the manner in which you would determine the sufficiency of the evidence.
Discuss the audit risk model and ascertain which sampling or non-sampling techniques you would use in order to establish your preliminary judgment about
