In the previous section you learned about the bank reconciliation and how to evaluate
the design and implementation of a bank reconciliation control. Tests of operating
effectiveness are performed where a control is designed and implemented effectively.
We ordinarily test bank reconciliations on our audits because many accounts are affected
by cash flow related journals. It is therefore likely that you will be asked to perform
testing of bank reconciliations.
This section will focus on tests of operating effectiveness of a bank reconciliation control
which provides audit evidence over the completeness, existence and accuracy
assertions.
