Auditing Property, Plant & Equipment

Overview:

Auditors easily overlook the importance of a robust evaluation of significant accounting estimates and judgments by management, when auditing property, plant and equipment. Audit regulators frequently find that there is insufficient documented evidence of the audit procedures to verify significant accounting estimates and assumptions used in the annual consideration of indicators, and evaluation of useful lives and residual values in measuring the carrying values and possible impairment of assets. Other areas requiring attention include consideration of the proper classification of assets.
