Amanda, you’re the best, your short videos are the perfect supplement to any audit and assurance students studies. Pleased to share that I passed my advanced audit ACCA exam on the first attempt! Couldn’t have done without your help! Much love, keep shining!
Thanks Amanda! Got my uni audit exam in 2 days, you've been a big help! Helped me understand the difference between a substantive test and a test of controls in a few minutes, when a whole 2 lectures couldn't make me understand!
@@amandalovestoaudit hye, my result is quite bad since I have little understanding in audit core theme. Especially in mcq questions do you mind to share tips on how to tackle objective ques in audit?
Hello Amanda. You are brilliant 😁. Thank you for your lessons and insights. I'm a budding auditor and I need to know what you have studied so that I may be able to do what you do... I am meeting with my manager on Friday and I want to make sure that I explain what I want to study to elevate my career. Again thank you so much ❤🎉
Hi Amanda, thank you for your lectures. They come in handy so many times for me. Please I would like to ask if you could do Inventory Audit for manufacturers. Thank you.
Hi Amanda, thank you for your help. I have a question, how to deal with invention stock counting if it is difficult to physically count inventory for auditor, lets say entity is in Switzerland and auditor is in Australia, then how auditor will gind existence of inventory?
Hi Amanda, could you please explain AVA when stock take is done before the year-end for example two weeks before year-end or a month after the year-end? I have heard about rollback and forward please elaborate.
I am from Thailand, a small business owner Thank you so much, I have been worried about how I should audit inventory and we always have lost our inventory.
Hi Amanda, First of all thank you for making such informative, and easy to understand videos. I have a question, in the beginning of this video you said that inventory is not a big deal fro service businesses but what about Hospitals and Healthcare centers who need to keep huge quantities of medicines and disposable stocks to perform services. How we can audit inventories of such businesses. Can you please refer any kind of book or literature that can help me understand how I can do better auditing of Service Sectors. Regards
Hi Muhammad - I would call hospitals and healthcare a mix because of the large amounts of inventory that you mentioned. Service businesses I consider to be more like law firms, advertising agencies. For hospitals etc - you need to audit the inventory just like any other retailer - of course, focusing on inventory that is material and at greatest risk of misstatement.
Hi Amanda, just stumbled upon your videos and I am really learning a lot from your content. I am doing my undergraduate degree in accounting and cis and I am interested in focusing on audit.
Hello Amanda, love your video, i hope you can answer my question, This Questions are similar to the ones I ask on a cash audit video. When conducting an inventory audit, can questionable or unsupported inventory mutation transactions be taken into consideration in taking an opinion? Even though the final value on the balance sheet matches the stock in the warehouse? What materiality accounts are used, is it inventory or inventory expenses?
Hi Pajar - any misstatements including unsupported journals should be considered in terms of the performance materiality and the overall impact on the financial statements. If there are unsupported journals - my big question would be - why? And could this be an indicator of some sort of intentional misstatement?
Good as matured wine, as always Doc, thank you very much, Doc. Indeed under this Covid-19 era and through these livestreams Auditors watch out for being shown empty boxes of inventory.......as you verify Existence......I loved that red flag you raised there,Doc.........and lastly maintain that lovely colourful hairstyle its blending very well with our notes we are copying from your Tablet......kkkkkkk.......bye lots of love from Zim and Africa......(Ndatenda) thank you.
Hello Amanda, Nice hair color :) I have a question about stock taking. If company have 30 or more shops in all country, and all off these shops have material numbers of stocks, should the auditor paticipate in all of these stock takings? Thank you :) Greetings from Lithuania (Europe)
Hi Igor - a great question :) That would be almost physically impossible! But you might select some stores that are higher risk of misstatement and conduct test counts.
Thank you Amanda , this was helpful. I also have a request Do u mind doing a video on how to audit share based payments as well as Employees benefits IAS 19
Hello Amand! is there any difference in the inventory audit procedures if the client entered into a consignment arrangement? I got so many questions regarding the consignment arrangement, so I want to understand clearly. As textbook just makes me confusing..... Thank you in advance, I love your videos 3>3>
Hey Miki - consignment definitely does have its own issues. We need to understand the consignment process first - how does the client identify which inventory is on consignment and which is one they own? Different part of the warehouse? A RFID tag? The biggest issue is rights & obligations - so we need to design tests that help ensure inventory is classified and accounted for correctly. Does this help at all?
@@amandalovestoaudit Thank you, Amanda! I designed the test of details for R/O, am I on the right track? Select a sample of consignment goods and compare it against the inventory listing to confirm consignment goods are not recorded in the inventory list. This sounds me the test of details for existence... Also, do you have a video on how to audit the provision? BTY Im doing CAANZ, and my background is TAX so Im really struggling the AAA module... but your videos are really helping me! Thank you Amanda
Hi Amanda. I am from India currently doing my. Chartered accountancy course and wanted to pursue a enterprising career in audit. Is there is any firm for Articleship work at your place? Thank you mam for stuff which are uploaded on your channel.
Hi Sor - yes - this video and the ones after it will cover production and manufacturing - the big issue is in the costing of inventory (the accuracy, valuation and allocation assertion)
Hi - thank you for watching :) I will also be making one about auditing manufacturing firms in relation to inventory - there are so many interesting mgmt accounting issues :)
Hey Margarita and everyone else in the Philippines! Stay strong - I have a lot of students with family there and they tell me that many are catching COVID19 - stay safe and well 🙏😊
In a situation where you know that some inventory is obsolete while doing your planning and the client confirms that indeed the inventory is obsolete and you physically inspect the inventory taking note of the condition but not counting it...do you need to carry out further procedures on that obsolete inventory or simply conclude on that it is obsolete and needs to be written off?
You increase the sample size for both sheet to floor and floor to sheet for the inventory that is not obsolete. You also note in the inventory count workpapers why you increased the sample size. Materiality has nothing to do with this if you are using PPS or the equivalent stratified sampling.
Amanda, you’re the best, your short videos are the perfect supplement to any audit and assurance students studies. Pleased to share that I passed my advanced audit ACCA exam on the first attempt! Couldn’t have done without your help! Much love, keep shining!

Hi! Do you have videos about auditing inventory in a manufacturing industry?
So for inventory do you always adopt a mix of tests of control and substantive testing to gather evidence?

Oooh - if you think you can rely on the client estimate - it’s should be ok because it is likely not material
You increase the sample size for both sheet to floor and floor to sheet for the inventory that is not obsolete. You also note in the inventory count workpapers why you increased the sample size. Materiality has nothing to do with this if you are using PPS or the equivalent stratified sampling.
