四、审计英语讲解
Auditing
1. Assurance engagements and external audit
◇Materiality, true and fair presentation, reasonable assurance
Materiality is the magnitude of an omission or misstatement of accounting  information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable  that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would have  been changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement. An auditor must  consider materiality both in (1) planning the audit and designing audit  procedures and (2) evaluating audit results.
◇Appointment, removal and resignation of auditors
◇Types of opinion: standard unqualified opinion, Unqualified with additional  explanatory language, qualified opinion, adverse opinion, disclaimer of  opinion
◇Professional ethics: independence, objectivity, integrity, professional  competence, due care, confidentiality, professional behavior
◇Engagement letter
2. Planning and risk assessment
◇General principles
○Plan and perform audits with an attitude of professional skepticism
○Audit risks = inherent risk × control risk × detection risk
(1) Inherent risk refers to the likelihood of material misstatement of an  assertion, assuming no related internal control. This risk differs by account  and assertion.
(2) Control risk is the likelihood that a material misstatement will not be  prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control. This risk is  assessed using the results of tests of control.
(3) Detection risk is the likelihood that an auditor’s procedures lead to an  improper conclusion that no material misstatement exists in an assertion when in  fact such a misstatement does exist. The auditor’s substantive tests are  primarily relied upon to restrict detection risk.
○Risk-based approach
◇Understanding the entity and knowledge of the business
The CPA should obtain a level of knowledge of the client’s business that will  enable effective planning and performance of the audit in accordance with  generally accepted auditing standards. This knowledge helps the auditor in
(1) Identifying areas that may need special consideration
(2) Assessing conditions under which accounting data are produced, processed,  reviewed and accumulated
(3) Evaluating accounting estimates for reasonableness (e.g., valuation of  inventories, depreciation, allowance for doubtful accounts, percentage of  completion of long-term contracts)
(4) Evaluating the reasonableness of management representations
(5) Making judgments about the appropriateness of the accounting principles  applied and the adequacy of disclosures
◇Assessing the risks of material misstatement and fraud
○Materiality (level), tolerable error
◇Analytical procedures
Analytical procedures are normally used at three stages of the audit: (1)  planning, (2) substantive testing, and (3) overall review at the conclusion of  an audit. They are required during the planning and overall review stages.
Analytical procedures used for 3 purposes:
(1) Planning nature, timing, and extent of other auditing procedures
(2) Substantive tests about particular assertions
(3) Overall review in the final stage of audit
◇Planning an audit
◇Audit documentation: working papers
◇The work of others
○Rely on the work of experts
○Rely on the work of internal audit
3. Internal control
Internal control is a process effected by an entity’s board of directors,  management, and other personnel—designed to provide reasonable assurance  regarding the achievement of objectives in the following categories: (1)  reliability of financial reporting, (2) effectiveness and efficiency of  operations, and (3) compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Five components of internal control
(1) control environment
(2) risk assessment
(3) control activities
(4) information and communication
(5) monitoring
◇The evaluation of internal control systems
○Tests of control
○Substantive procedures (time, nature, extent)
◇Transaction cycles: revenue, purchases, inventory, etc.
4. Audit evidence
◇Obtain sufficient, appropriate audit evidence
◇Assertions contained in the financial statements: completeness, occurrence,  existence, measurement, presentation and disclosure, rights and obligations,  valuation
◇The audit of specific items
○Receivables: confirmation
○Inventory: counting, cut-off, confirmation of inventory held by third  parties
○Payables: supplier statement reconciliation, confirmation
○Bank and cash: bank confirmation
◇Auditing sampling
5. Review
◇Subsequent events
◇Going concern
◇Management representations
◇Audit finalization and the final review: unadjusted differences
6. Reporting

Independent Auditor’s Report
To: Board of Directors and Stockholders
ABC Company
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ABC Co., Ltd. (“ the  Company”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of income and cash  flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility  of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an audit opinion  on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Independent Auditing Standards  for Certified Public Accountants. Those Standards require that we plan and  perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a  test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and  significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall  financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a  reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view( or are  presented fairly, in all material respects, ) the financial position of ABC as  of December 31, 2006 , and the results of its operations and its cash flows for  the year then ended in conformity with the requirements of both the Accounting  Standard for Business Enterprises and other relevant financial and accounting  laws and regulations promulgated by the State.
