  • Credits 1.00
  • Level Basic
  • Field of Study Auditing (1)

Overview

In this hands-on game, participants are helping to prepare an internal control testing plan for Home Décor & More (HDM). They must assess controls related to HDM’s inventory cycle to determine which financial statement assertions each control satisfies, the quality of the control’s design, and whether there is adequate segregation of duties. Then, they will complete the HDM control testing plan, including the level of reliance to place on each control and the test of control methods. Each participant wants to be spot-on with the evaluation before submitting the information to a manager for feedback.
