Required:
- Explain to Sammie what audit assertion has the highest risk related to accounts payable and why.
- Assume that Sammie’s first audit procedure will be to send confirmations to test accounts payable. Provide three examples of criteria that could be used in order to select suppliers that will be sent confirmations, ensuring that at least one is focused on the assertion of the highest risk.
