Question

Accounting

In three different sections of the audit program, identify one step where audit software can be used to perform testing. You must clear indicate the step for each example. Explain how the audit software can be used to perform these steps (i.e., the basic logic each query or program would use).

Here is a helpful hint on how to go about responding to this question. I am going to use accounts payable as an example. Lets say the audit step is to test to see if any employees are also set up in the A/P vendor master. One approach is to match the vendor master file to the employee master file based on street address, city, and state. Any matches would be investigated. (FYI- If the two files do not use the same conventions for street address, city, and state, then some data transformation would be needed to make the query work correctly.)
