The accounts receivable is typically the largest asset for the company. Thus, when performing and audit, it is important that the auditor spends a good amount of time examining and ensuring that the stated amounts are accurate. Matching the invoices to the shipping log is one good auditing procedure to verify the accounts receivable – and auditor can match the invoice dates to the shipment dates in the shipping log to ensure sales were recorded in the proper period. Another auditing procedure for the audit of accounts receivable is to review the credit memos issued by the company – reviewing a selection of the credit memos that were issued can help the auditor see if they were authorized properly and whether they were issued in the correct period and if they are indicative of any other problems. At my organization, we utilize both auditing methods even in daily operations. There are many times where it has been beneficial to match invoices to our shipping logs to verify the contents of packages and other reasons, so I can certainly see how this auditing procedure can tell the auditor a great deal about the receivables. Verifying the credit memos is also a very valuable method as well at my organization – I utilize credit memos on a daily basis, and they are a critical part of our accounts receivable and accounting, which is why I always stress the importance of being detailed when creating credit memos with my staff.Respond to the following in a minimum of 100 words: Discuss audit procedures for the audit of accounts receivable. How does this apply to your chosen organization?There are many procedures uditing the accounts receivable. The first step is to start with the period-end accounts receivable aging reports and making sure the grand total is shown and compared to the general ledger. The auditor must add up the totals on the invoices on the accounts which they should match the total traced on the general ledger. There may be journal entries on the accounts receivable and the auditor should review the reason for the large amounts. Full details on why they are on there should be documented. There is also test done on the invoices to see if they were billed to the correct customer and in the correct amount. The auditor randomly selects which invoices to sample. They also look at the shipping logs. Cash receipts should only be reviewed if the accounts receivable in unavailable. One of the last steps is to compare a trend on the sales and accounts receivable from the last two years.
for my Accounting course and I need some help to understand this question. As you know, companies cannot possibly pay their debts by the last day of the fiscal year. You will discuss how auditors treat the timing issues encountered in accounts payable audits.As part of the audit process, auditors like to try to get as much work as possible done before the balance sheet date. This is possible with several accounts due to their nature and the extent of the testing done. However, the accounts payable audit is performed after the balance sheet date.

So the questions is in bold letters but you are responding to what they answer below. 2.) (p. 211). Why do you suppose the five categories of classroom training are so popular in HRD? Identify two types of training programs a manager might not want to conduct in using a classroom format.Human Resource Development (HRD) is the framework for helping employees develop their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. Human Resource Development can be formal such as in classroom training, a college course, or an organizational planned change effort. Classroom training is an instructional method that takes place away from the normal work setting. In this sense, a classroom can be any training space that is away from the work site; such as a lecture hall, a company cafeteria, or a meeting room. It is a common instructional method (Werner, 2017). The five categories of classroom training are lecture, debate/discussion, audiovisual media, experimental methods, and computer-based trainings are an integral part of conducting training. These categories of classroom training are popular because each of them brings something different to learning. The significance of these five categories tend to create a composed environment to minimize the interruptions from external factors such as noise and crowds, which helps in creating an environment favorable to training. These categories can assist a larger number of audience than classic on-the-job training can. Two categories can assist a larger number of an audience than classic on-job training can. Therefore, two programs which managers might not want to run in the classroom training are audiovisual and simulation techniques. There are following disadvantages of audiovisual techniques. Some videos may contain excess music and dialogs, which may cause trainees to be annoyed. Overloaded dialogs in videos may also mislay the essence of the topic in the presentation itself. Simulation techniques can only be conducted in an artificial environment, which represents real life surroundings. It can lead to several disadvantages due to it being an expensive technique. It may also cause for trainers to update themselves with new tools, machinery, and essential information to keep pace with the real environment.1.) (p. 254). Even though most HRD professionals agree that HRD evaluation is valuable, in your opinion what are the most important reasons why it isn?t practiced more frequently by organizations? How can these objections to evaluation be overcome? Even though HRD evaluation is valuable, it is not practiced more frequently by numerous organizations. The purpose of an employee evaluation is to measure job performance. The most important reason is that HR goals are difficult to quantify and measure. Many evaluations provide quantitative measurements essential for a production-oriented work environment. For example, the support that HR provides to the strategic goals of a company is difficult to quantify and measure. ?Organizations must continually assess their employees? strengths and weaknesses. By doing so, employers are better able to match employee qualification to job assignments. Employee evaluations provide an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses for individual employees as well as the collective talents of employees by department or team? (Mayhew, 2019). The goal of aligning an organization to the strategic goals of the company is difficult to assess: reducing HR activities to measurable goals is in most cases. Employee training and development needs are other reasons employee evaluations are important. Assessing employee strengths and weaknesses is the first step in determining the type of training employees need. Training usually supports employees acquiring new skills and development while helping build upon employee aptitude and current performance. Performance measurement through employee evaluations is a component of many organizations? compensation structures. Employee evaluations give supervisors and managers an opportunity to recognize employees? hard work, dedication and commitment. Top management should realize the importance of the training activities of the employees and its impact on the success of the organization. Since many training programs tend to transform into failures, it is very important to take feedback and collect data related to the training programs so that the necessary changes can be incorporated into the following training programs in the future.
