At the same time that the auditee took itsphysical count of the items in ending inventory, he selected a sample of itemsfrom the listing and performed his own count of the number of that item inending inventory. He then compared hiscount to the auditee's count and noted any differences in his working papers. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Then he obtained he used the costs in the listing andverified those cost to purchase invoices from the vendors. Finally, he multiplied the number in hiscount by the invoice costs and compared the resulting amount to a listing thatthe client had provided that included their totals for each item. He traced the total of their listing to theirgeneral ledger account.
