The Accounts Payment Cycle represents the sequence of all essential steps that must be followed by the production, purchasing/procurement, and accounting departments to complete all activities required for the procurement of goods and services comprising three major phases.
Accounts Payable (AP) is a key aspect of financial management that deals with a company's short-term obligations to creditors or suppliers. The basics of accounts payable are as follows:
1.Invoice Processing:
Accounts payable begins with receiving an invoice from your supplier. This invoice describes the amount owed for goods or services provided.

Account Scoping and Risk Assessment
Account Balance and Disclosure: Revenue
Class of Transaction: Recording Sales
Identification of risk of material misstatement All orders shipped are not recorded as revenue.
Relevant assertion Completeness.
Significant risk? No.
Risk of material misstatement because of
fraud?
No.
Control activity that addresses risk of material
misstatement
Control #1: Sales are automatically recorded and invoices are automatically generated upon the release of the
order in the Warehouse K-Series System. Orders are not released until the goods have been confirmed for shipping
in the system (which occurs when the goods are scanned as they are loaded in the shipping area).
Does the control rely on information used in
the control (or IUC)? If yes, list relevant
information
No.
Will we obtain audit evidence of the accuracy
and completeness of information used in the
control by testing controls?
N/A
Is the control automated? Yes.
Relevant application system (if we are testing
information used in the control through tests of
controls or the control is automated)
Warehouse K System, which is subject to IT controls performed by management and tested within the IT controls
workpaper.
Tests of controls: evaluation of design
On the basis of the following factors, we concluded that the control is appropriately designed to address the stated
risk of material misstatement:
1. The control is the automation of the invoicing of goods shipped as the system will automatically record revenues
when goods are shipped from the warehouse (revenue generating activity), thus resulting in no shipped goods
going unrecorded in the system that appropriately addresses the related risk of material misstatement and
assertion.
2. Automated control prevents errors from occurring as opposed to identifying them once they have occurred
(preventive control).
3. Control operates at the transaction level and, as such, is sufficiently precise to mitigate the risk.
4. Control is performed on a continual basis and thus addresses the risk directly and for the period under audit.
5. There are no historical issues with the operation of the control and the control has not been modified in the
period under audit.
Risk Associated with the Control Not Higher
Tests of controls: planned operating
effectiveness testing
Interim Procedures (test as of 9/30):
1. As this is an automated control, we will perform a test of one and follow one transaction through the system to
make sure the system is operating effectively.
2. In addition, we will verify the understanding through testing of general IT controls; i.e., program change controls
that there have been no changes to the control since the previous year.
Rollforward Procedures:
1. Make inquiries of the controller and the IT manger to determine if any events ha.
