Explanation of Solution

Internal controls have direct relation with the misstatement in the financial statement. A good internal control system indicates lesser chance of misstatements and a weak internal control indicates higher chances of the material misstatements in the financial statements. The purpose of the audit is to find the material misstatement. Hence, the auditor should obtain the knowledge of the internal control before performing subtractive procedures.

Most of the business transactions involve cash payment/ receipt. Hence it is necessary for the auditor to check the controls over cash receipts and payments. Hence the auditor begins with test of control and checks the controls over the cash receipts and payments. Such test of control is preformed to check the existence and effective of the internal control systems and on the basis of results of test of control the auditor determines the nature, timing, and extent of the subtractive procedure.
