Developing audit strategy/approach
Mindset
• Test controls, Substantive testing or both?
Are the controls over relevant assertions designed and implemented effectively?
yesno
If relevant to our risk assessment, test the operating effectiveness of the control.
Assess control risk and risk of material misstatement for each relevant assertion in accordance with the KAM topic titled, “Risk identification, assessment and response” and
determine the nature, timing and extent of substantive procedures.
Perform substantive procedures
![Page 8: Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning - ICPAK · Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning by: CPA Steve Obock Associate Director- KPMG Kenya March 2017 Uphold public](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012323/5cf7ebc288c993e14d8dd42c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mindset
What Do We Consider?
Is it more efficient to test controls than to perform substantive procedures alone?
Can substantive procedures alone provide sufficient appropriate audit
evidence?
RoMM at the assertion level
Existing control framework
Prior period evidence
Significant risk of fraud or error
Results of procedures in prior periods

Mindset
To Test Controls… Or Not to Test Controls
• We test the operating effectiveness of controls:
– When it is more efficient than performing substantive procedures alone; and
– When substantive procedures alone are insufficient to provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
Is it more efficient to test controls than to perform substantive procedures alone?
Can substantive procedures alone provide sufficient appropriate audit
evidence?

Mindset
To Test Controls… Or Not to Test Controls
• Can you think of an example from one of your clients where it was more efficient to test controls?
• Can you think of an example where it was more efficient NOT to test controls?
Is it more efficient to test controls than to perform substantive procedures alone?
![Page 11: Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning - ICPAK · Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning by: CPA Steve Obock Associate Director- KPMG Kenya March 2017 Uphold public](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012323/5cf7ebc288c993e14d8dd42c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mindset
Are Substantive Procedures Insufficient?
• In what circumstances would substantive procedures alone be insufficient to provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence?
Can substantive procedures alone provide sufficient appropriate audit
evidence?

Mindset
Significant Risk of Fraud or Error
• How may a significant risk of fraud or error impact our audit approach?
• What examples do you have of when you have seen this on your engagements?
Significant risk of fraud or error

Mindset
RoMM at the Assertion Level
• How do we take credit for testing the operating effectiveness of controls?
Impact on RoMM Effective controls mean we can measure control risk as “Lower”
![Page 16: Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning - ICPAK · Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning by: CPA Steve Obock Associate Director- KPMG Kenya March 2017 Uphold public](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012323/5cf7ebc288c993e14d8dd42c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mindset
Reducing RoMM at the Assertion Level
• What is our RoMM before we consider controls and what substantive procedures would we need to perform?
• Reducing our assessment of RoMM may therefore change:
Nature
• For example, substantive analytical procedure instead of test of details
Timing
• For example, perform substantive procedures at interim date
Extent
• For example, reduce the sample size when performing test of details

Mindset
Materiality
• Concept of materiality comes from the financial reporting framework
• Misstatements and omissions are material if they can influence economic decisions of users taken on the basis of financial statements
• The auditor’s determination of materiality is a matter of professional judgment
![Page 23: Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning - ICPAK · Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning by: CPA Steve Obock Associate Director- KPMG Kenya March 2017 Uphold public](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012323/5cf7ebc288c993e14d8dd42c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mindset
Materiality
• Materiality is set for the financial statements as a whole.
• Performance materiality means the amount set by the auditor at less than materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for the financial statements as a whole.
![Page 24: Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning - ICPAK · Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning by: CPA Steve Obock Associate Director- KPMG Kenya March 2017 Uphold public](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012323/5cf7ebc288c993e14d8dd42c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mindset
Materiality
• The auditor also sets the audit misstatement posting threshold above which misstatements need to be accumulated.
• Materiality is assessed from the perspective of the users of financial statements.
• A percentage is applied to a chosen benchmark (for example, assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses)
![Page 25: Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning - ICPAK · Audit Quality Assurance workshop Audit Planning by: CPA Steve Obock Associate Director- KPMG Kenya March 2017 Uphold public](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012323/5cf7ebc288c993e14d8dd42c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mindset
Materiality
• A percentage is applied to a chosen benchmark based on professional judgment.
– 5% of profit before tax
– 1% of revenue

Mindset
Determining Materiality
• Use professional judgment and based on reasonable person
• Considers both
– Quantitative and qualitative factors
• Materiality used in
– Planning the audit
• At the overall financial statement level
• Allocate to individual accounts
– Evaluating audit findings

Mindset
Materiality Recap
• Based on professional judgment.
• Not just a simple mathematical calculation.
• Consider both nature and size.
• Engagement Partner involvement.
