Question 2
You are the audit partner on the audit of Rose Ltd and are reviewing the audit workpapers
for the year ended 30 June 2013. The team includes Alan and Robert.
您是 Rose Ltd 审计的
审计合作伙伴，并正在审查截至 2013 年 6 月 30 日的审计工作文件。团队包括艾伦和罗 伯特。
As part of the audit Alan, the audit senior tested the controls over the accounts payable
system. He selected a sample of twenty payments and tested the control that all
calculations are checked by the accounts payable clerk, who signs the “checked” box to
indicate that she has carried out the control. All invoices had been signed as “checked”.
While three invoices had calculation errors, they were less than $10 in total and not
considered to be material. Alan has therefore determined that the internal control
operated effectively and consistently throughout the year.
作为审计的一部分，审计人员对
应付账款系统的控制进行了测试。他选择了 20 个付款的样本，并测试了所有计算都由应付账款
员检查的控制，该职员在 " 选中 " 框上签名，以表明她已执行控制。所有发票都已签为 " 已检查 " 。
虽然三张发票的计算错误，但总额不到 10 美元，不被视为材料。因此， Alan 确定内部控制全
年有效且一致地运行。
The three major suppliers of Rose Ltd comprise over 70% of the accounts payable balance.
Robert checked these three balances to reconciled creditor’s statements and found no
discrepancies. As controls over the purchases and payment cycle are considered to be good,
no further testing was done.
Rose Ltd 的三大供应商占应付帐款余额的 70% 以上。 Robert 检

查了这三个余额，以对债权人的报表进行核对， 没有发现任何差异。由于对购买和付款周期的控
制被认为是好的，因此没有进行进一步的测试。
Required:
a)
What impact (if any) will the calculation errors found during the tests of controls
have on the audit plan related to the audit of accounts payable?
Rose Ltd 的三大供应商占应付帐款余额的 70% 以上。 Robert 检查了这三个余额，以对债权人的
报表进行核对， 没有发现任何差异。由于对购买和付款周期的控制被认为是好的，因此没有进行
进一步的测试。
Auditor may increase the sample used for internal control testing to determine extent
of deviations. Potentially a reduced reliance on controls and an increase in number of
substantive tests.
审核员可能会增加用于内部控制测试的样本，以确定偏差程度。可能减少
对管制的依赖，增加实质性测试的数量。
