Audit and Approaches:

Audit is the official inspection of an organization business approaches and its financial data by and independent body. There are four different generally accepted approaches which are as follows.

a)      Balance Sheet Approach:
b)      System-Based Approach:

    The details of these approaches are as follows:

a)      Balance Sheet Approach:
The balance sheet is the very important part of the financial data recording. Its helps the user of the data to get the information about the company performance on its assets, equity and liabilities usage.
According to this approach the auditors make their focus on the limited procedures and put their complete efforts to abstract the use able information form the balance sheets accounts and their transacted figures data and on the basis of this information they make their test and verify the complete business transitions through that way they can also check the internal and external check and use of the cash and accrual accounting transactions.

b)      System-Based Approach:

System- Based approach is very use full for the internal auditors and to check those areas where the organization rules and system need some more efforts.

c)       The Substantive procedures approach:
In this approach the auditors target on large volumes of transactions and account balances and also on those areas of the accounting transaction where they think that there is some especial focus put by the company staff and personals.

d)      Risk based approach:
According to this approach the auditors focus on the daily business operations and give more focus to those areas  where they fell that there is some kind of risk involve in them. Like the financial statements key areas which have some risks and some business operations areas which are full of risks.
That approach is based on risk and all the financial statements risks, rules and regulations laws breaching risks and data risk areas also involve in it.
