Auditing Revenue Cycles

Revenue Cycle Focus

The revenue cycle includes sales, receivables, and cash receipts. Auditors examine this area closely due to its risk of misstatement or fraud.

Procedures

  • Test controls over order processing and billing.
  • Confirm accounts receivable with customers.
  • Analyze trends in sales and collections.

Real-World Application

Accurate revenue reporting is key for stakeholders, and audit procedures help detect errors or intentional misstatements.

Examples

  • An auditor confirms outstanding invoices with major customers.

  • A CPA reviews sales cut-off procedures at year-end.
