3. SCOPE OF AUDIT
The following points merit consideration in regard to scope of audit:
1. The audit should be organized to cover adequately all aspects of the enterprise relevant
to the financial statements being audited.
2. To form an opinion on the financial statements, the auditor should be reasonably
satisfied as to whether the information contained in the underlying accounting records
and other source data is reliable and sufficient as the basis for the preparation of the
financial statements.
3. In forming his opinion, the auditor should also decide whether the relevant information
is properly disclosed in the financial statements subject to statutory requirements,
where applicable.
4. The auditor assesses the reliability and sufficiency of the information contained in the
underlying accounting records and other source data by:
a) making a study and evaluation of accounting systems and internal controls and
b) carrying out such other tests, enquiries and other verification procedures of
accounting transactions and account balances as he considers appropriate in the
particular circumstances.
5. The auditor determines whether the relevant information is properly disclosed in the
financial statements by:
a. comparing the financial statements with the underlying accounting records and other
source data to see whether they properly summarize the transactions and events
recorded therein; and
b. considering the judgments that management has made in preparing the financial
statements accordingly, the auditor assesses the selection and consistent
application of accounting policies, the manner in which the information has been
classified, and the adequacy of disclosure.
