# Auditing Cash

Auditing cash is an important part of almost every financial statement audit. Testing cash is typically performed by testing each of the components of the year-end bank reconciliation. It is important that the auditor consider the relevant assertion for each component of the bank reconciliation in order to design appropriate tests. Three components are labeled on the bank reconciliation shown below. For each component, (1) indicate the most relevant assertion(s) for that component and (2) write an audit procedure you would use to test the assertion(s). Be specific with the audit procedure you would perform.

[There is a blank rectangular space here, presumably for a graph, diagram, or image related to the bank reconciliation components.]

Please fill in the required details to complete your understanding of auditing cash.
