Maurice and Janice are discussing final analytical procedures that are conducted toward the end of an audit. Maurice has recently joined the firm and is working on his first audit. He asks Janice to explain in a little more depth about analytical procedures performed at the end of the audit. Which of the following statements by Janice are accurate? (Select all that apply.) Analytical procedures are used at the end of an audit to help the auditor confirm his or her understanding of the audit findings. The exact analytical procedures performed are determined subjectively by the auditors, based on his or her experience with the industry and the client. The nature, timing, and extent of final analytical procedures are determined jointly during the audit by the auditors and senior management. Analytical procedures are required by generally accepted auditing standards to be conducted at the beginning of the audit only as part of risk assessment.

1. An audit client has a significant amount of loans receivable outstanding (40% of assets), but has an inadequate internal control system over the loans. The auditor cannot locate sufficient information to prepare an aging of the loans or to identify the collateral for about 75% of the loans, even though the client states that all loans are collateralized. The auditor sent out confirmations to verify the existence of the receivables, but only 10 of the 50 sent out were returned. The auditor attempts to verify the other loans by looking at subsequent payments, but only eight had remitted payments during the month of January, and the auditor wants to wrap up the audit by February 15. The auditor estimates that if only 10 of the 50 loans were correctly recorded, loans would need to be written down by $7.5 million. a. Unmodified b. Modified, qualified c. Modified, disclaimer d.
