journal entry to shipping document 
b) Sales recorded more than once – check cancellation 
of shipping documentation 
c) Shipment made to nonexistent customers – person 
recording sales shoud not authorised shipmments 
Completeness Account for 
sequence of 
shipping 
documents 
Many audits ignore completeness on the grounds that 
overstatement of income of is greater concern. However 
errors may still misstate financial statements. 
One effective proedure is to trace from shipping 
documents to the sales invoice and entry in the sales 
journal
Accuracy Examine the approved 
price list for accuracy and 
proper authorisation

sales journal and compare 
the total of selected 
transactions with accounts 
receivable master file 
entries and duplicate sales 
invoices 
Classification Examine document

When there are cash and 
credit sales, it is important 
not to debit accounts 
receivable for a cash sale 
or to credit sales for 
collection of a receivable.

assets as sales. A common 
procedure is to examine 
duplicate sales invoices for 
proper account 
classification

shipping documents
