A revenue audit is a two-part process that examines the figures and information on a company's tax returns against those found in its business records. In general, auditors check the returns of income over a one-year period. However, they may review your records for prior years too in case they notice any discrepancies.This process has the role to monitor and ensure tax compliance. It also helps identify signs of tax evasion as well as additional liabilities. The auditors will also collect interest, tax or penalties where applicable.

#Audit test or audit procedure for account payable


A thorough payable audit is one that ensures accounts payable is fully compliant with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)... Auditors use cutoff tests procedures that determine whether a transaction was recorded in the proper recording period—to confirm AP ledger transactions are accurate and complete.

Accounts receivable are legally enforceable claims for payment held by a business for goods supplied and/or services rendered that customers/clients have ordered but not paid for. These are generally in the form of invoices raised by a business and delivered to the customer for payment within an agreed time frame.

When posting a goods movement in the SAP System, the following documents are created: Material document
► In the Inventory Management system, when a goods movement is posted, a material document is generated that serves as proof of the movement and as a source of information for any applications that follow. A material document consists of a header and at least one item. The header contains general data about the movement (for example, its date, time and user who posted the transaction). Each item describes one movement.
Accounting document
► If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting (that is, if it leads to an update of the G/L accounts), an accounting document is created parallel to the material document.

Objective-Proper internal control over the purchases system.
-Purchase are properly accounted for and recorded in the correct accounting period.

- Cash collection


Purchase Transaction* Cash/Credit

Audit test used > Test of control
> Substantive Test

Document used *credit note, debit note, 8nvoice, memo and check.

Segregation of duties
*= If someone discharges their duties or responsibilities, they do everything that needs to be done in order to complete them. If someone discharges a debt, they pay it. If something is discharged from inside a place, it comes out. When there is a discharge of a substance, the substance comes out from inside somewhere.

Audit Procedures for Expenses

1) Internal Expense Controls

- Companies have many types of internal controls related to expenses. Some invoices may require certain levels of signatures, and others may require a written contract. One of the first steps in an audit is to evaluate paid expenses against how closely they follow the internal controls.

2) Reasonableness of Expenses Check
A reasonableness check involves checking expenses to see if they are in line with what is considered ordinary. For example, an invoice of RM 100 for a small box of pencils would not be reasonable and should raise a red flag. An additional reasonableness step is to make sure that only expenses that are necessary are incurred.

3) Timely Expense Processing
Expenses must be being received in a timely manner.

4) Accuracy and Documentation
Auditors will often randomly select invoices and ask to see all the original paperwork, including contracts if they exist, invoices and signatures. They compare all the original documentation against the amounts paid to find mistakes. Sometimes, this is a simple keying error that may require employee retraining, and in other cases, this could be a payment prior to work being completed.

Transaction
1) A spending or consuming
- Account payables
- Cash payments

Documents involved
1) Payment voucher
2) Bills
3) Receipt
4) Invoice
5) General ledger

Types of Inventory Transactions
Inventory Management is any transaction resulting in a change in stock. ► Goods receipt
► A goods receipt (GR) is a goods movement with which the receipt of goods from a vendor or from production is posted. A goods receipt leads to an increase in warehouse stock. This type of transaction will affect Accounting.
► Goods issue
► A goods issue (GI) is a goods movement with which a material withdrawal, a material consumption, or a shipment of goods to a customer is posted. A goods issue leads to a reduction in warehouse stock. The type of transaction will affect Accounting.
► Stock transfer
► A stock transfer is the removal of material from one storage location and its transfer to another storage location. Stock transfers can occur either within the same plant or between two plants. This transaction may or may not affect Accounting.
► Transfer posting
► A transfer posting is a general term for stock transfers and changes in stock type or stock category of a material. It is irrelevant whether the posting occurs in conjunction with a physical movement or not. This transaction may or may not affect Accounting.
Examples of transfer postings are:
► Transfer postings from material to material
► Release from quality inspection stock
► Transfer of consignment material into company's own stock
Inventory Transaction Detail
When posting a goods movement in the SAP System, the following documents are created: Material document
► In the Inventory Management system, when a goods movement is posted, a material document is generated that serves as proof of the movement and as a source of information for any applications that follow. A material document consists of a header and at least one item. The header contains general data about the movement (for example, its date, time and user who posted the transaction). Each item describes one movement.
Accounting document
► If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting (that is, if it leads to an update of the G/L accounts), an accounting document is created parallel to the material document.


>Movement Types for Inventory Transactions
When you enter a goods movement in the system, you must enter a movement type to differentiate between the various goods movements. A movement type is a three-digit identification key for a goods movement. The following table contains examples of common movement types.

Auditors might also need to test for the correct classification of cash. Some cash balances, such as cash balances that are restricted from use due to contractual agreements or cash equivalents that have been pledged as collateral, have complicated rules related to disclosure and classification. - audit process of cash
source document
-revenue
-sale of property
-long term debt
