You note that the responsibility for bank reconciliations has changed due to a corporate reorganization halfway through the current financial year.

Required: (a) What techniques are available to you to gather evidence about the bank reconciliations? Explain how you would use each technique and comment on the quality of the evidence obtained from each (b) When you ask the employees responsible for bank reconciliations about how they perform the reconciliations there is a possibility that they will not tell the whole truth about their performance of the reconciliations. Given this, will you bother to ask them? Explain (c) Explain the impact of the staff changes on your controls testing program
