Businesses must ensure all transactions have been correctly posted in their general ledger, and sub ledgers (if they have sub ledgers).
This will then be used to pull/create the following reports from their accounting software in order to prepare and submit unaudited financial statements to the auditor:
- Balance Sheet/Statement of Financial Position
- Income Statement/Statement of Comprehensive Income
- Statement of Changes in Equity
- Statement of Cash Flows
Businesses must also ensure they have all supports/source documents for transactions entered in the general ledger. For example:
- Invoices
- Receipts
- Bank statements
- Board of Directors’ meeting minutes (However, small and medium-sized companies rarely have meeting minutes)
The auditor will send the client bank confirmation letter and legal confirmation letter templates that would be placed on the client’s letterhead, and returned to the audit firm, for the firm to deliver to the relevant institutions/firms.
