Controls that apply to specific computer accounting tasks. ex: updating AR. Includes programmed controls and manual follow up activities.

Application control activities

Involves the development of a set of simulated transactions prepared by the clients programmers or the independent auditors. Used for appraising control activities to determine their effectiveness

Computer assisted audit techniques (CAAT)

Client develops a subsystem of dummy records and files for testing purposes only. Provides for continuous testing of the system. Used for test of controls. Can be costly.

Integrated test facility

Computer grams compares the result of computer processing against a min or max amount. Purpose is to determine whether predetermined limits have been exceeded.

Limit test control

Transactions are processed immediatley and all accounting records are updated instantaneously.

Online real time systems

Auditor uses his program to process the clients live data and then compares results with clients results. Used for substantive testing.

Parallel simulation

completeness, accuracy, and validity of input

Auditor obtains a copy of clients program and then controls the program:

controlled programs

Exception report should be reviewed and follow up on by the:

data control group

User departments are responsible for the development and execution of computer applications. (department both generates and uses its own information)

end user computing

Problem with parallel simulation:

formatting clients data to auditors software

Controls that apply to all or many IT systems in a organization. Include controls over the development and changes of grams and system, computer operations and access to programs and data

general control activities

Sums of data that would ordinarily not be added, such as unit prices, invoice numbers

hash totals

online and updating in real time
