Thank you Amanda , you are amazing...but I have question, have we need to recalculate the loan payments and interest ? And when we calculate PV for loans ? Thanks in advance
Hi Murad - a great question - if the bank the client is using is known to be reliable and the country has strong laws and regulations over the financial industry - I wouldn't consider the need for it. However, if there are poor banking regulations - definitely something to consider doing. A great question - thank you for sharing with our community 😊
@@amandalovestoaudit Hi Amanda! Thanks for the video! I have a question related to Murad's question, what are the benchmarks for bank regulations that are not good? 
Note on valuation: it may not be easy to agree the capital balance on the loan account to the amount in the financial statements because if measured properly under amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, the amount in the financial statements may disagree with the capital balance per the loan statement. Of course the EIR is an abstract accruals measure and not reflected in the actual loan accounts. Instead, can perform a calculation of the expected loan amount using the EIR method, but test the inputs into the amortised cost table by agreeing input capital and interest payments to the original loan agreement. Then once inputs into model are validated, use a tool like Solver in Excel to calculate the EIR that correctly discounts the cash flows.
Hi amanda, i find your channel very helpful and informative. Waiting for you cash/bank payables audit videos, lot of help in my line of work.. more power.
Compare the prior's years list of loans to current year's list of loans to identify any loans that are not listed in latter and confirm payment of the loan with creditor?
I would like to thank you for this video. I have a question though, how would you disclose demand notes if they are intended to be paid but have not been requested to be paid back yet?
Hey Puja - be yourself, answer their questions and if you don’t know the answer - try thinking out loud while trying to figure out the answer. Good luck!
Dear Amenda It's really interesting. Thank you for made clear explanations now I understood. It will really helpful for my AA exam I was searching for some one to get clear information about assertions testing. Thank you so much. Can you do it for inventory substantive procedures please. Good points in your video is You first questioning things what we have to check and What we need to understand about the systems. Superb 😍
Thanks, I feel it is vital to review the loan agreement line by line and that it is executed. The overriding question is the loan agreement come with obligations and what are those. What is the current and long term effect of the loan agreement....how easy is it to breach a covenant and consequences as mentioned in the loan agreement. Is the loan agreement oppressive. Does the client have a number of smaller loans , which in total will have a significant impact. In simple terms what is the present and future risk to the client and the degree of risk?
Any Advances received for a period greater than 1 year might involve significant Financing Component. Hence In an aging Analysis any advances received for a period exceeding 12 months should be carefully examined
Hey Hello Ma'am why using assertion of completeness on expense if the risk behind is overstating the expense? The co always tend to overstate the expenses so that to reduce the tax liability. Victor from Tanzania (East Africa)
Hi Victor - it depends on the country. Where your accounting reported income is used for tax purposes - then yes, there is the incentive to overstate expenses. However, in many jurisdictions, the calculation of income and profit for tax purposes is different from IFRS reporting - therefore for shareholders, management do have a tendency to want to understate expenses to increase profit :)

Thanks, Doc, i was flowing with your articulated presentation, but just two questions for clarification:1) Lets suppose management went ahead and borrowed without Board approval, assuming it was beyond their threshold, whats the Auditor's opinion with regards to that kind of an oversight? or deliberate ommission by management, thereof 2) Access to Finance, here in Africa, is usually a challenge and those who choose to borrow are often required to avail some form of Security to back up their application and my question would then be; How does the Auditor treat securitisation matters in combination with the Borrowings & Loans, i was hoping you were going to talk about it under Obligation when you perused that Substantive test of control. Thanks in advance, Doc and cheers, stay safe as well.................Africa remains logged-in! Unroll the series!
Hi Bvumayi - two really great questions! 1. If management borrowed funds and it should have been approved by the board, but was not - that certainly raises red flags with us about the overreach of management and also a lack of corporate governance and accountability by the board. This is something that doesn't necessarily cause a misstatement - but it would be something we would raise with the audit committee. I'd also investigate whether there was any potential for fraud associated with such a loan. 2. A great question on securitisation - that would certainly be included in the debt covenants and we should check whether the entity has breached any covenants because that influences the financial statements and potential manipulation. If the entity had secured asset X for the loan and we couldn't find it - a good question becomes - does the bank or lender know this? Has there been any communication? Thank you for raising this - it wasn't even something I considered :)
Hi Amanda..great video as usual. just a request would you covering substansive procedure for related parties? the one particularly have more Subs and JVs? Thanks you in advance
Hi Amenda Confirm completeness Obtain a breakdown all loan outstanding at the year end cast to verify airthimetical accuracy and agree the total to the financial statements And when we are recalculating the split between current liability and non current liability It will confirm the following Allocation, classification and presentation is it right? Please confirm I really confuse. Please explain
Great effort ,, we always learn from your videos .. if we have a bank overdraft In USD Currency but The Financial Statements Are Presented In GBP Currency ,, so At The Reporting Date Do we Transfer the total amount of overdraft To Equivalent GBP And The Difference whether gain or loss goes to P/L ? .. thanks in Advance
Hi Eslam - yes - all items on the balance sheet need to be recorded in the currency of the reporting entity and gains/losses should go to the P&L (only if it is a realised gain/loss - if it is unrealised, it needs to stay on the balance sheet)
@@amandalovestoaudit thank so much ma, I appreciate ur effort towards our understanding of this course generally, henceforth, we will be willing to ask more qt From 🇳🇬Nigerian
Dear Amanda, thanks for your great videos on auditing. They really help. Got questions: If there are some guarantees granted to the lender covering the loan and interest, such as assets of the company pledged to the lender, should they be shown on the B/S and how? Can the board authorise management to borrow by settling limits, loan type, loan terms etc? All the best.
Hi Amanda your videos are very helpful in my ACCA journey, another procedure for completeness assertion of loans and borrowings can be asking the bank or any another financial institution with which entity is operating its business processes for the loan statement of the year and cross check the statement with the loan amount show as NCL in the balance sheet.
Sorry, I forgot the most important point not considered often enough! What constitutes an event whereby the lender could call in the receiver or liquidator? The auditor must know this.

will not tracing the transactions or balance into the journal to ensure that they are properly recorded and accounted for.

Any advances older than 12 months definitely need to be examined for collectibility - you're quite right

Please a feed back will do me good.
Hi Amenda
Confirm completeness
Obtain a breakdown all loan outstanding at the year end cast to verify airthimetical accuracy and agree the total to the financial statements
And when we are recalculating the split between current liability and non current liability
It will confirm the following Allocation, classification and presentation is it right? Please confirm I really confuse. Please explain
Hi Jegatha - what you’ve described will also gather evidence on Valuation.
And yes - the split between CL and NCL is Allocation 👍👍
Great effort ,, we always learn from your videos .. if we have a bank overdraft In USD Currency but The Financial Statements Are Presented In GBP Currency ,, so At The Reporting Date Do we Transfer the total amount of overdraft To Equivalent GBP And The Difference whether gain or loss goes to P/L ? .. thanks in Advance

Pledges, liens and guarantees are disclosed in the notes under IAS 16 disclosures if PPE were pledged.
