4 Direct audit executive participation
Audit executives participate directly on a timely basis in the performance of audit procedures and the supervision of the audit team. They participate in:6
•Audit planning
•Tests of controls
•Substantive procedures for significant account balances, significant disclosures, and high risk or other sensitive audit areas.
Direct participation assists the audit team in performing its procedures to address those areas with higher risk of material misstatement.
Direct audit executive participation can be best achieved through:
•Audit Planning – Participating directly in the team planning event. Refer to TEAM-EVENTS 1.
•Tests of controls – Participating directly in the design, performance, and evaluation of the tests of controls.
•Substantive procedures for significant account balances, significant disclosures, and high risk or other sensitive audit areas – where direct executive participation is appropriate include: •Significant changes in accounting principles or estimates
•Significant accounts or disclosures for which we have assessed the combined risk assessment as high
•Significant accounts affected by significant risks
•Significant risk estimates, and certain higher risk estimates when, based on our professional judgment, additional attention is necessary
•Areas when we encounter unexpected problems (e.g., our initial combined risk assessment was assessed as minimal or low, but we detected errors during the audit)
Our approach to auditing the above areas provides that more experienced professionals (generally the manager or senior manager) participate in the actual performance of the audit procedures.
