How to Test Internal Controls | Payroll

After the auditor has learned about the design of a company’s internal controls for its payroll cycle, the auditor needs to test the operating effectiveness of the internal controls for payroll. The auditor must determine whether each internal control: • Is operating as designed • Is being performed by an employee who has both the ability and authorization to perform the control There are several ways for an auditor to test internal controls. These include: • Inquiry • Observing the client applying the control • Inspecting the client’s documents • Reperforming the control • Walkthrough (this would include several of the steps listed above) When testing controls, the auditor should perform dual-direction tests (aka dual-purpose procedures). For example, to ensure that the client is paying actual employees for actual time worked, the auditor should both: • Test the existence assertion (did all recorded liabilities occur?) by vouching a sample of paychecks back to the time sheets • Test the completeness assertion (have all liabilities been recorded?) by tracing a sample of time sheets to the related entries in the payroll journal 0:00 Introduction 0:26 Ways to test controls 0:50 Dual-direction tests 2:29 Occurrence 5:41 Completeness 6:08 Authorization 6:46 Accuracy 7:42 Cutoff 7:50 Classification 8:38 Setting the achieved level of control risk — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
