The review stage
Analytical procedures use calculations such as financial ratios to generate an expectation of what a figure is likely to be and then
comparing this to the actual figure in the accounts.
They can be used to highlight unusual figures in order to focus the audit on them or to establish that a trend has continued.
The financial ratios used by the auditor will fall into 3 general categories:
Profitability/Return
1.
Gross
Margin
2.
Net Margin
3.
ROCE
Liquidity/Efficiency
1.
Receivables/Payables/Inventory Days
2.
Current Ratio
3.
Quick Ratio
Gearing
1.
Financial Gearing
2.
Operational Gearing
Whether or not the auditor relies on analytical procedures as substantive procedures
