The two riskiest elements of accounts receivable are the allowance for doubtful accounts and proper cut-off. Because the balance is an estimate and highly subjective, the allowance for doubtful accounts usually is the area of accounts receivable most susceptible to material misstatement. Through an interactive, comprehensive case study, you will learn how to effectively and efficiently audit accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts. You'll explore the importance of testing the accounts receivable aging and how to use subsequent cash collections to increase efficiency.
