Explanation of Solution

The following are the steps that an auditor should take while testing the cash balances deposited with the financial institutions:

  • Obtain client permission and request for the confirmation from the banks about the cash balances deposited by client in those financial institutions or banks.
  • Verify the correct bank address in order to avoid the misdirection by the client.
  • Instruct the bank officials to not disclose the client personnel about the confirmations through mail, and maintain direct communication.
  • Instruct the bank officials to return the responses to the audit firm, not to the client.
