Explanation of Solution
Difference between test of details of balances, test of control and substantive tests of transactions for sales and collection cycle are as mentioned below:
- Test of details of balances: are used to identify whether the statements of transaction are valid and correct or not. It is a method of collection of facts and figures that supports the statements. For example: An auditor can use prepaid income liabilities account by examining each of the prepaid income balance.
- Test of control and substantive test of transaction for the sales and collection cycle: are focused upon verifying whether the internal control of the
audit process are working or not and also to test the actuality of the transaction in the financial statements. For example: Inspection of a fixed asset
