Goldberg instructed his subordinates to perform alternative audit procedures on those open accounts that the client did not want confirmed. These procedures consisted principally of determining that the year-end account balance was eventully”cleared” by a receipt from the customer or a disbursement to the customer. The auditors also occasionally checked the supporting documentation for these entries, such as canceled checks. During at least one Hanauer audit,Goldberg’s subordinates attempted to determine whether were any discernible differences in the accounts that the client allowed to be confirmed and those that it did not. Apparently, the senior and staff auditors assigned to the engagement performed this procedure on their own initiative. Goldberg’s subordinates discovered no such differences,or,alternatively,failed to document such differences in the Hanauer workpapers.
