1. CONCLUSIONS
The preliminary assessment of control risk indicates the classification objective was high.
Consequently, controls over classification were not tested. On the basis of unfavorable
results of tests of attribute #1, it predicts that approval of customer credit and control risk
for the Existence or occurrence objective is increased to medium. (This will also affect the
Realizable Value objective for year-end tests of balances.) It can be concluded that results of
substantive tests of transactions were favorable and support reduction of year-end
substantive tests of balances.
2. EFFECT OF RESULTS ON AUDIT PLAN
Excluding as noted above, controls over sales and accounts receivable appear to be operating
as documented and may be relied on.
Acoount receivalbe write-offs and collections subsequent to year-end should be reexamined
to evaluate whether a decline in credit quality requires an increase in the allowance for bad
debts account.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS TO MANAGEMENT
It is recommand that client is importance of credit approval.
It also recommend that client implement an internal verification policy to check for proper
debit/credit classification for sales transactions

This form is to be used to document the findings of tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions. In the
column on the left, write the document number for each document tested. The numbers across the top of the matrix
correspond to the “Description of Attributes” column on the Attributes Sampling Data Sheet.
For each document in column one, place an “X” in the column below the number of the attribute being tested by that
document if there is an exception. Also use an “X” if one or more documents required to perform the test are missing
(assuming the missing document(s) are applicable to the transaction). Leave it blank if there is no exception.
