Please don't stop making these , our profession is quite under-represented here on youtube
Hi Prabhat - many thanks for your kind words and for watching :) My plan is certainly to keep making these videos :) Please let me know if there is anything particular you'd like to see - you can comment here or email it to me at amandalovestoaudit@gmail.com :)
DearAmanda I am a newly qualified Chartered Accountant in Bangladesh.I followed your excellent videos and had much enthusiasm in Audit and Assurance subject.Thank you
Hi Dr Amanda, I'm a student in South Africa, Thank you so much I really appreciate all your your videos They've really helped me understand auditing Please can you make a video of ISA315 Revised Application and other Explanatory Material Much appreciated 💜💯
Hi Amanda , You're enthusiasm for this subject just motivates me to give this subject one more chance, especially due to the fact that your make this standard more relatable and practical for our use. I am currently doing Chartered Accountancy in Pakistan, and have final level exams coming up in June, for which Im grateful for making these easy-to-understand video.
Really helpful Amanda! So stoked to be finishing my studies this feb and enter the world of accounting. Your video r really informative and consistant.
Hi there I’m learning auditing & would love a video on examples of how to write a audit finding or observations. Not sure if you already have a video on that. Thanks
Hi, I started watching your videos for my assignment but now you have made me really interested in auditing 😂 It’s your fault (of course it’s not your fault, joking), thank you!
your videos are great. but i either didnt understand it completely or you didnt actually identify a risk. it seems to be an explanation on how to idenify a risk but i was hoping you to actaully discuss a risk that you have identified? i cant seem to grasp the concept of identifying an accounts risk and assertion especially at an academic level to analyse an annual report we dont get to talk to management, observe or test the entity's internal controls? could you please explain or do a video perhaps if the industry was anything other than retail maybe... hospitality (restaurant hotel) or transport (taxi or bus service) thanks once again great work ...subscribed!
Hi! This was just a video on the latest standard - an example of how to actually do this is here: Can you identify Significant Risks for an audit client? th-cam.com/video/ENdilHkF2wY/w-d-xo.html
Have a question: • Identify the detection risk (How do you do the identifying to detection risk based on what basis, is this a terminology? Like example: Detection risk identified the auditor may not be able to see an error on the accounts receivable, that may lead to material misstatement) • Describe the factors that led you to identify the detection risk (is this referring to the control risk / inherent risk: Like example: High Internal control - Segregation of duties as cash receipts through the mail is opened by Zoe Patten and is being supervised by Kara Hampton at the time of opening.) • Explain why you feel it is a key detection risk (how to build up on the factors?) • Describe what testing you would plan to do to address the detection risk (is this referring to the testing of controls? Testing for occurrence, testing for completeness?)
This sounds like a question for a test. I’m not sure what you’re actually asking. Identify DR is asking you to give the rating as L, M or H. Then after that it is asking you to explain how the AR model works.
Hi Abdu - I don’t make pen drives (that seems to be only something I’ve seen in India and the sub-continent). However all of my videos on the auditing standards are here at this playlist - Auditing Standards EXPLAINED th-cam.com/play/PLpJRVR3iB5Z7ST2Lc9SYeHHUznmlkVhqe.html

Dear Dr Amanda, whilst comparing ISA315 (Revised) Para 14(a) and ASA315 (extra) 14(a) I noticed ASA315 (14)(a) has "enquiries and ISA315 14(a) has "inquiries. I believe these words have the same meaning in the context of "act of questioning/investigating?
I believe that risk facing the auditor has to do with Detection Risk, thus the risk that the Auditor may not detect material misstatement in the financial statements during the audit. I stand to be corrected though. 🙏🙏🙏
@@amandalovestoaudit hi maam. TOC means test control and SP means substantive procedure. My problem is that i am not able to understand what are the risk involved in sales purchase or any system so that i can apply control and test them.... And for substantive procedure i dont know where to start.... if it is possible, kindly make a video about how to apply substantive procedure and test of control.... so nice of you thanks. your response is awaited.
And then work through all of these videos from the Gathering Audit Evidence on my study guide website amandalovestoaudit.com/learning-resources/audit-study-guide/gathering-audit-evidence/
We missed u:) need some advices about how start IS Audit and Data Analysts, after CISA what most demanding knowledge to be learn like give me an example 1.2.3.etc.. i have to learn thanks

Hi Tafara - the approach (or strategy) I consider to be the overall way you’re going to conduct the audit. You’ll then have specific plans and programs for auditing each of the areas of the accounts. Hope this helps 😊
Hi Jill - it is impossible for companies to have 315 "blunders" as it is really about the auditor assessing the client. There are some companies where it is more difficult than others because of the complexity of the industry or client :)
@@amandalovestoaudit I see. Thank you. You're right, it's all up to the auditor to detect them. So I guess I'll choose any asx company then-- perhaps banks or lender/financing companies!
The complexity is increased because of going concern in every industry right now - but if I had to pick one - I’d be looking at retail chains, airlines and financial institutions as interesting cases ☺️
This woman was born to do these vids. She looks so happy.
Thanks for the free education from sunny south africa

Thanks Dr. Amanda. It's insightful. I have a problem when the examiner talks about 'risks facing the auditor. Could you help?

Hi....
Ma'am could you please make a video on TOC nd SP along with knowledge application....
Hi Amy - just to make sure there is no confusion - what do you mean by TOC and SP?
@@amandalovestoaudit hi maam.
TOC means test control and SP means substantive procedure.
My problem is that i am not able to understand what are the risk involved in
sales purchase or any system so that i can apply control and test them....
And for substantive procedure i dont know where to start....
if it is possible, kindly make a video about how to apply substantive procedure and test of control.... so nice of you thanks. your response is awaited.
@@amycool7499 I'm also struggling with them.
You want to start with this video

Greetings from California!
We missed u:) need some advices about how start IS Audit and Data Analysts, after CISA what most demanding knowledge to be learn like give me an example 1.2.3.etc.. i have to learn thanks
Hi Ashraf :) After you complete CISA, my pick for the next big area of study is Data Analytics and Machine Learning.
@@amandalovestoaudit Software Requirements Management -
Data Modeling and Relational Database Design -Software Quality Assurance and Testing Techniques - Agile Software Development - above topics will be helping Data analytics?
Hi Amanda love your videos! Please, when designing your risk assessment procedures does that fall under your audit strategy or your audit plan?
Hi AY - your risk evaluation of the client? Deciding your strategy is part of the audit planning process (normally)
Hie Amanda and everyone, what's the difference between an audit plan and an audit approach?
Hi Tafara - the approach (or strategy) I consider to be the overall way you’re going to conduct the audit.
You’ll then have specific plans and programs for auditing each of the areas of the accounts.
Hope this helps 😊
@@amandalovestoaudit Very helpful, thanks Amanda for clearing my confusion👏
@@amandalovestoaudit Very helpful, thanks Amanda for clearing my confusion👏
Mam, if inherent risk is medium, Control risk is low then Detection risk is medium or low?
Hi Anik - the DR matrix will indicate that DR should be low.
Thank you mam for your valuable comment.
Can you help me in choosing a good company that has potential audit 315 blunders?
