Explanation of Solution

Financial statements are summary of the financial transactions entered during the entire period of the financial statement. Hence, it is not possible for the auditor to check the management assertion at the financial statement level. To perform the audit to the assertion level, the auditor needs to divide the financial statement into components or segments. The auditor also allocates the responsibilities of each segment of financial statement to its team members during the planning stage.
