The third generally accepted standard of audit fieldwork requires that
auditors obtain sufficient, competent audit evidence to afford a
reasonable basis for an opinion regarding the financial statements
under examination. In considering what constitutes sufficient, competent
audit evidence, a distinction should be made between underlying
accounting data and all corroborating information available to the
auditor. What presumptions can be made about the following?
· The relative competence of evidence obtained from external and
internal sources.
· The role of internal control with respect to internal evidence
produced by a client’s data processing system.
· The relative persuasiveness of auditor observation and
recalculation evidence compared to external, external-internal, and
internal documentary evidence.
