Transcript Sneak Peek:
Okay let's talk about Analytical Procedures. Now, with Analytical Procedures, remember over here we said Audit Procedures, two types, test of details of accounts, transactions, balances and disclosures, and Analytical Procedures, that's what we're looking at now. Now what are Analytical Procedures? That's part of your ICORRIIA, Analytical Procedures are the study of data comparisons and relationships. How informations compare or relate, relationships.
This is based on the anticipation or expectation theory. This deals with ratios, ratio analysis. So what we're looking at is how does the number compare, how does it relate, based on the expectation. What did you get, versus what did you expect to get. That tells us that you know what? This account may have changed by more or less than we expected. So we're gonna do this at the beginning of the audit, we're gonna do this at the end of the audit, because at the beginning, we're gonna look at all the client's transactions. So for example, here's let's say X1, here's X2, dollar change, percentage change.

Hello Roger Sir, I'm a Intermediate CA student from India. This video helped me out a lot as it helped me revise the chapter of Analytical Procedures in 20 minutes whereas I would've spent atleast 4 hours reading myself. Kudos !
