Brief Guidelines and Procedures


On Individual Client Accounting/Audit In our practice of audit, we implement those quality control procedures which are, in the context of the policies and procedures of the firm, appropriate to the individual audit. Our audit is then enhanced through timely communications throughout the audit process. We see to it that the professional competent of our assistants performing work delegated to them is considered when deciding the extent of direction, supervision and review appropriate for each assistant. Any delegation of work to assistants would be in a manner that provides reasonable assurance that such work will be performed with due care by persons having the degree of professional competence required in the circumstances. We assess the risks in an audit in a way that the higher the risk, the more persuasive the audit evidence needs to be to provide reasonable assurance on the audit and to mitigate that risk to an acceptable level. We exercise professional skepticism throughout the audit in gathering and objectively evaluating the competency and sufficiency of audit evidence obtained. Our methodology encompasses the following workflow: Risk assessment Obtain an understanding ofthe entity and its environment, including internal control (i.e., evaluate the design and implementation of relevantcontrols) Perform risk assessment procedures and related Activities Identify and assess risks of material misstatement

Design audit responses to address the assessed risks of material misstatement Testing Test operating effectiveness of selected controls Plan and perform substantive procedures Completion Perform completion procedures, including overall review of financial statements Document significant findings and issues Consider if audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate Form an audit opinion Communicate to the audit committee, or those charged with governance, our responsibilities under applicable auditing standards, an overview of the planned scope and timing of the audit, and significant findings from the audit. Direction We see to it that our assistants to whom the work is delegated receives the appropriate direction. Direction involves informing assistants of their responsibilities and the objectives of the procedures they are to perform. It also involves informing them of matters, such as the nature of the entity's business and possible accounting or auditing problems that may affect the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures with which they are involved. Supervision Supervision means directing the efforts of professionals who are involved in accomplishing the objectives of the audit and determining whether those objectives have been met. Elements of supervision include instructing and guiding professionals, keeping informed of significant issues, reviewing the work performed, resolving issues, and agreeing onappropriate conclusions. It is closely related to both direction and review and may involve elements of both. Personnel carrying out supervisory responsibilities perform the following functions during the audit: (a) monitor the progress of the audit to consider whether: (i) assistants have the necessary skills and competence to carry out their assigned tasks; (ii) assistants understand the audit directions; and

(iii) the work is being carried out in accordance with the overall audit plan and the audit programme; (b) become informed of and address significant accounting and auditing questions raised during the audit, by assessing their significance and modifying the overall audit plan and the audit programme as appropriate; and (c) resolve any differences of professional judgement between personnel and consider the level of consultation that is appropriate. Review It is our policy that performance review for each assistant be based on a timely and objective evaluation of individual performance. The work performed by each assistant needs to be reviewed to consider whether: (a) the work has been performed in accordance with the audit programme; (b) the work performed and the results obtained have been adequately documented; (c) all significant audit matters have been resolved or are reflected in audit conclusions; (d) the objectives of the audit procedures have been achieved; and (e) the conclusions expressed are consistent with the results of the work performed and support the audit opinion. The following need to be reviewed on a timely basis: (a) overall audit plan and the audit programme; (b) assessments of inherent and control risks, including the results of tests of control and the modifications, if any, made to the overall audit plan and the audit programme as a result of tests of control; (c) documentation of the audit evidence obtained from substantive procedures and the conclusions drawn therefrom, including the results of consultations; and (d) financial statements, proposed adjustments in financial statements arising out of the auditor's examination, and the auditor's proposed observations/report. The process of reviewing an audit may include, particularly in the case of large complex audits, requesting personnel not otherwise involved in the audit to perform certain additional procedures before issuing the auditor's report.
