SA 300- Planning an audit of financial statements deals with the auditor's responsibility to plan an audit of financial statements. It states that objective of the auditor is to plan the audit so that it will be performed in an effective manner.Planning an audit is necessary to carry out it effectively in a timely manner. Besides ensuring compliance with professional standards, it helps in performing audit engagement effectively.Update: CA Final Audit Blended Batch starting from 17th June 2024.Adequate planning benefits the audit of financial statements in several ways, including the following:-* Helping the auditor to devote appropriate attention to important areas of the audit.* Helping the auditor identify and resolve potential problems on a timely basis.* Helping the auditor properly organize and manage the audit engagement so that it is performed in an effective and efficient manner.* Assisting in the selection of engagement team members with appropriate levels of capabilities and competence to respond to anticipated risks, and the proper assignment of work to them.* Facilitating the direction and supervision of engagement team members and the review of their work. Assisting, where applicable, in coordination of work done by others such as experts.Therefore, planning an audit ensures that audit risk is reduced to an acceptable low level. When audit work is adequately and properly planned, it reduces the risk of inappropriate opinion by the auditor.If you are appearing for the upcoming attempts of ICAI CA Intermediate Audit Exam then this podcast will definitely be of a great help.If you are the student of EDU91 for CA Intermediate then you will get flat 50% off on CA Final Audit Classes.Also, you can get a hands on experience of Auditing with us.Thanks for reading Audit By Neeraj!

In this podcast, we're going to talk about how to get ready for the CA Inter Audit exams happening in May 2024. Since the exams are getting closer, students are feeling nervous about how to prepare & revise well in the audit subject. Audit is a vast subject that needs you to understand the concepts and also remember important words to pass the ICAI CA Inter Exam.How to study CA Inter Audit?You need to understand that CA Inter Audit is a blend of both practical and theory. You just cannot emphasize on any one aspect. ICAI is asking questions from both sides, with theory being the main aspect. But at times, there are questions asked which are entirely concept-based, and no rote learning will help you here. So, you need to become a mix of Rancho and Chatur to clear your ICAI CA Inter Audit Exam for May 2024.Whenever we go to Vaishno Devi, we say, "Paudi Paudi Chadhta Jaa, Jai Mata Di karta ja." Similarly, for completing the syllabus which might once seem so humungous to you, just write down the topics and start tackling them one by one. You will be surprised to see how fast you are actually finishing the entire syllabus. Refer to marathons, class notes, and charts for better understanding.Study from ICAI material. If you are studying from others' notes, make sure you are benchmarking them with the ICAI material. No need to switch the material just a month before exams.A detailed discussion on this has been done by me & Vrinda in this podcast.Listen carefully to this podcast. Remember the tips we talk about so you don't forget important stuff when you're studying and going over the CA Inter Audit syllabus.Thanks for reading Audit By Neeraj!

SA-560 “Subsequent Events” deals with the auditor’s responsibilities relating to subsequent events in an audit of financial statements. Financial statements may be affected by certain events that occur after the date of the financial statements. Many financial reporting frameworks specifically refer to such events. Such financial reporting frameworks ordinarily identify two types of events: (a) Those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the date of the financial statements; and (b) Those that provide evidence of conditions that arose after the date of the financial statements.The objectives of the auditor are to: (a) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about whether events occurring between the date of the financial statements and the date of the auditor’s report that require adjustment of, or disclosure in, the financial statements are appropriately reflected in those financial statements; and (b) Respond appropriately to facts that become known to the auditor after the date of the auditor’s report, that, had they been known to the auditor at that date, may have caused the auditor to amend the auditor’s report.For CA Inter & Final Classes, checkout EDU91CA Final Classes: https://www.edu91.org/s/pages/ca-finalACCA Classes: www.learn91.comThanks for listening to the podcast “Audit By Neeraj”.

Relevance means the relationship of the evidence with the audit procedure and the assertion being checked.A given set of audit procedures may provide audit evidence that is relevant to certain assertions, but not others.For example, confirmation of balance from a customer is a relevant evidence as regards existence of receivable, but it may not be relevant as regards the collectability of the balance due from customer.Also, physical observation of inventories is relevant evidence relating to existence, but is not appropriate evidence to ensure that the entity owns the inventories.On the other hand, audit evidence from different sources or of a different nature may often be relevant to the same assertion. For example, Checking the terms of the agreement and confirming the same from the third party.For CA Inter & Final Classes, checkout EDU91CA Final Classes: https://www.edu91.org/s/pages/ca-finalACCA Classes: www.learn91.comGet Affordable CA Inter & Final Classes with high value-added services.Thanks for listening to the podcast “Audit By Neeraj”.
