Amazing video man. I’m a newly promoted Senior, so I do know this stuff, but it’s always great to go back to basics and understand what I am actually testing (assertion wise). Also will help me train new staff
I really love your videos. They are really helpful for students who are studying auditing to understand what we have to do in practice. I hope you will make videos about auditing fixed assets and payroll as well :D
Thank you Bryan, I appreciate the awesome, insightful thorough Video about Cash Recs, New Staff Audit accountant, the short cuts and tying of numbers and agreeing them, and what needs to go to be requested in the OIL how you dissected and broke it down with structure gave me a good construct of how to follow through steps and confirming them with the TB.
Thanks Bryan! Great concise review of the basics! Simple to understand and apply the content. Your good energy and intuitive presentation and workflow are fantastic-it kept me engaged the whole time. Great job, carnal.
This is great 👏🏾 You hit on some key topics and thank you for taking the time to really walk through the actual process. Different perspectives always helps me really grasp the objective more and this was a fresh perspective. Can't wait for more 🙌🏾👍🏾
Great video! I hope that you keep making videos like this. It was super helpful for me and I will be sure to share it with my co-workers who are new to the auditing field!!
Great video. Would like to see how to audit a mortgage that involves the principal, interest. Insurance. Since those of us who have no prior knowledge about mortgage are clueless to how to calculated the current amount owe at year end. Thanks
can you do a videos on how to test equity, distribution testing, management fees etc? and how to do planning analytics and how to calculate materiality?
Thanks so much for the video! It's really cool to see how Bank Reconciliations are practically done after having studied that in Intermediate for my CPA. I do have a question - you said that whatever is below the performance materiality threshold (ex. 500 for Petty Cash, PM: 21,000) you can ignore, but how could we guarantee that it is in fact lower? How do we know that it's not 3,500? Would we just do a Proof-of-Cash testing to verify that?
Hello Mr. I'm just a young guy from South Africa who want to be a CA , right now I'm doing grade 10 and I master Accounting, English as well as Mathematics. I pass Mathematics and Accounting with level 7 and English with 5 or 6. So Sir My question is , is Accounting at University more difficult than Accounting at High school? ....And I enjoy working with numbers (I always watch your videos and you inspire me). Also I want to ask you another question. Did you struggle to find a job after Graduating?

This is extremely helpful for a first year auditor. Thank you!❤
I'm glad this helped!
00:01:55 Any documents received from clients
- #1 Format the workpaper (WP)
- each firm has their own format requirements for font, font size, structure, etc.
- header - company, type of document, fiscal year
00:05:00
- #2 Materiality reference
- ML - materiality
- PM - performance materiality
- 5% of ML - trivial threshold (5% of materiality)
- calculations come from firm; each firm has their own requirements
- PBC - provided by client / prepared by client
- at the top of the workpaper
00:07:00
Purpose, Procedures & Conclusion
- PP&C describes the goal of the workpaper and steps to achieve it
- you may end up having to write this down yourself, but it facilitates with internalizing the process
- more formatting - number the tabs
Audit Performance Steps
- APS - a form with step-by-step instructions for auditing a specific account balance
- Each firm has an APS or an equivalent of it
- Read it first and don’t skip any required steps
00:10:50 Bank reconciliation
- Depository account - cash received from customers
- Checking account - various uses
- AP disbursement account - paying vendors, buying inventory from suppliers, etc.
- always compare the account balance on the client’s detail to the account balance on the trial balance (TB); they should match
- example: comparing the cash balance on the bank rec to the cash balance on the leadsheet
- Lead schedule / Leadsheet - a portion of the trial balance
- do not manually input the numbers in any of your WP’s that should have formulas
00:15:29
- difference between cash balance on bank rec and cash balance on TB
- compare the difference to the trivial threshold (5% of ML)
- the difference is below the trivial threshold and is therefore immaterial, so bank rec agrees with cash leadsheet
00:17:04
- test the underlying data of the cash leadsheet
- Depository, Checking, and AP Disbursement accounts are above PM of 21,000 and must therefore be tested
- Petty Cash is below PM and doesn’t need to be tested
- yellow highlights - signal to reviewer that task is still in progress
00:20:10 Bank reconciliation
- Core purpose - to convert balance from cash basis to accrual basis
- adds adjustments---deposits in transit, outstanding checks, and miscellaneous items---to show the proper accrual basis balance
- Deposits in Transit (DIT) added
- Outstanding Checks (OSC) substracted
- Miscellaneous Reconciliation items added or subtracted
00:24:02
- one of the numbers is manually input instead of using a formula; if you find this during an audit, investigate further
- DIT amount is above PM of 21,000, so ask client for DIT list to test it
- when testing any asset balance, there is a risk that the balance is overstated
- OSC amount is above PM of 21,000, so ask client for OSC list to test it
00:27:50
- miscellaneous reconciling items are often inaccurate
- if the cash balance per the bank rec is materially different than the cash balance per the leadsheet, do not proceed with testing
- notify the client, who should then resolve the difference before you continue testing
00:30:22
- Cross-reference items on the WP
- Referred to / numbers go to - right side of number
- Referred from / number comes from - left side of number
- Upon finishing the WP, you’ll have a full list of what to request from the client
