　　Audit Evidence[審計證據]

　　Audit evidence is necessary to support the audit opinion; the auditors therefore need to obtain sufficient, relevant and reliable evidence to satisfy themselves that the objectives of the individual audit tests have been met. Once satisfied, they can arrival at the overall audit opinion in the knowledge that it can be adequately defended, if required, as all the evidence exists to prove how the opinion was arrived at.

　　Notes:

　　The auditors also need to consider when planning the audit what type(s) of audit evidence will be necessary in order to ensure that this is obtained on a timely basis. Certain types of evidence (e.g. receivables circularization) needs the involvement and co-operation of others (i.e. the client and their customer). In such cases where the evidence-gathering process is lengthier, it is vital that sufficient planning is carried out.

　　Note:

　　Plan the audit:計劃審計

　　Audit planning:審計計劃

　　Audit evidence:審計證據

　　Type of audit evidence:審計證據的類型

　　On a timely basis:在及時的基礎上(時效性)

　　Evidence-gathering：收集審計證據

　　In relation to substantive testing, we shall consider the assertions made in the financial statements by the directors. These assertions underlie all items in the financial statements, and so the auditor needs to obtain audit evidence that substantiates there assertions.
