Evidence & sampling CAAT
Audit softwareTest data
Audit software makes use of the assurance providers’ own specialised software. There are a number of off the shelf packages available, or the assurance provider could have a tailor made system. Audit software works on the basis of interrogating the client’s system and extracting and analysing information.
Under this test of control, the assurance provider supervises the process of running data through the client’s system
Audit Sampling
Random selection
Systematic selection
Haphazard selection
Sequence selection
Monetary unit sampling
Among all the five sample methods, we will use MUS .It is more convenient to use in today’s digital world. As M I Cement keeps its records in electronic mode, we can surely conduct our analysis at ease and perfection. We will use computers and statistical tools to choose the samples. So every sample has an equal chance of being chosen.
Recommendation
•For conducting more feasible statistical analysis we would need more professional expertise opinions .therefore, it is important for us to build a strong network with the professional auditors
•Developing more technological expertise for using research and statistical tools in audit analysis
•Developing more appropriate intuition for assessment of managerial assumption and estimates
•Getting well acquainted with the assigned company managerial and auditing committee
