[28]
and what is exactly assurance so whenever let's say you going for a
[32]
you're working for one of the big firms never see you know it's either audit or
[37]
it's it's a it's all Assurance but there's a difference now what
[42]
exactly is difference is what we are here to understand so let's begin with
[48]
the idea that in audit and assurance they are the process basically used for
[52]
evaluation of the financial I'm talking about audit here it is it is used for
[58]
the evolution of the financial records of the company they are handed process
[61]
an audit and assurance is the process of verifying these records available in the
[66]
company's accounting record as with the accounting standard in principle so it
[71]
also verifies the what we call as the accounting records or as per the
[77]
accounting standard in principle and also it verifies that accounting records
[80]
is accurate or not now the audit is basically the process
[84]
of evaluating the accounting entries okay so these accounting entries have
[94]
been verified and it also whether it is accurate or not and the audit is the
[99]
process of evaluating the accounting entries present in the financial
[102]
statement the company the assurance is basically the process of analyzing and
[106]
used in the assessment of the accounting entries then the financial records
[109]
so assurance is usually followed by the audit so audit comes first and then
[116]
comes the assurance once you do the audit then you get get the issuance so
[120]
in this tutorial we'll look at the top differences between the audit versus
[122]
assurance now first before jumping to the difference let me make you
[127]
understand in detail what is audit first city audit is basically the process of
[133]
for the accounting entries that is present in the financial statement
[139]
accompany so audit checks the accuracy it checks the accuracy of the financial
[147]
report and auditing includes and it makes sure that it is ethically
[153]
presentation you know it is presented fairly in an accurate manner it also
[158]
checks whether the financial reports it also checks the financial reports are as
[166]
per the accounting standard and
[173]
accounting principles okay so these are the two things that are taken into
[178]
consideration it also tells you about any sort of misrepresentation done in
[184]
the financial records any misuse of the funds any fraud any dishonest activity
[189]
is done in the company or done by the company is taken into account
[192]
so these audits they are conducted by the what we call as the internal auditor
[201]
and also the external auditor who are basically the independent auditors now
[210]
when we talk about the internal auditor
[216]
when we talk about the internal audit it is conducted by the employer of the
[221]
company belongs to the audit department of the company so the internal audit
[224]
does audit frequently you can see that and checks the record of the financial
[232]
reports whether these records are as per the accounting standard in accounting
[236]
principle and also checks and verify that the accounting record is accurate
[239]
or notes the company also hires what we call as the external Auditor
[247]
so which provides an unbiased reports of the financial statement and there are
[254]
many auditing firms available who acts as an external auditor for many forms
[258]
and reports are prepared by these firms in then they are considered accurate and
[263]
data provided are true and fair representation of the company's
[276]
financial statements of an adjust status well this was all about audit let's
[283]
understand what exactly is assurance all about see assurance is basically the
[290]
process of analyzing and used in the assessment of the of the accounting
[302]
entries and the financial records that goes hand-in-hand so assurance is the
[312]
process of verifying the records available in the company's accounting
[314]
record and as per the accounting standard in principle which is also used
[318]
to verify that accounting record is what we are checking is whether the
[323]
accounting record is accurate or not no assurance is basically the process of
[334]
operations procedures and so on and so forth so the main aim of the assurance
[339]
is to check the accuracy of the financial statement it is used for the
[349]
for checking the accuracy of the financial statement and assurance
[355]
specializes in assessing and improving the quality of the information in a
[358]
company so it helps in decision making in an organization as it it works on
[363]
thee more on the customer feedback and these financial information and employee
[373]
feedback are the areas where information is very much required in decision making
[377]
in an organization let's understand this with the help of the infographics so we
[384]
start with the definition see audit is the process of evaluating what the
[388]
accounting entries that is present in the financial statement of the company
[391]
and it checks the accuracy evaluates what accounting entry and checks the
[396]
accuracy but here the process is analyzing and used in the assessment of
[402]
the accounting entry so it is a process used in the assessment of the accounting
[406]
entries in the financial records and these assurance is the process of
[410]
verifying the records available in the company's accounting record and is as
[415]
per the accounting standard and principle so it also verifies the
[419]
accounting record is accurate or not this is the preliminary thing this is
[425]
post facto so audit has done first and then the assurance is done so this is
[430]
the step wise process here the audit is done by the internal of probably the
[436]
external auditor assurance is done by the auditing firm in totality
[442]
what is the aim well here any sort of misrepresentation if anything done you
[447]
know they have wrongly represented inventory paper expense or any other
[452]
item in the financial statement or the income statement then such
[457]
misrepresentation can be figured out and any misuse of the funds or any fraud or
[461]
any dishonest activities done by the company can be figured out when we talk
[465]
about this Assurance and so Assurance specializes assessing the improving the
[469]
quality of the information in the company assessing the and improving the
[473]
quality of the information and it helps for the decision
[476]
this is more on the top end side where you take the decisions where assessment
[482]
is done and here any sort of fraudulent activities visited misrepresentation any
[488]
dishonest or fraudulent activities can be determined it so as to make things in
[493]
a proper fashion so this was the aim now what is exactly the use making sure
[499]
ethical presentation ethical presentation no misrepresentation fairly
[503]
presented most important accurate the number should not be haywire coming from
[508]
anywhere it also checks whether the financial reports are as for the
[511]
accounting standard very important so let's say in UK in UK basically IFRS
[517]
the ACCA prescribes IFRS and they they follow IFRS in United States of
[524]
America they follow the US GAAP in India the India's previously it was known as
[530]
accounting standard but now it has been converted into India's so now they
[535]
follow in AS and the accounting principles assurance is used to check
[540]
the accuracy again this is same thing of the financial reports and also parts the
[544]
assurance that okay this perfect - all the stakeholders stakeholders I mean
[549]
creditors debtors flyers investors banks and we have sees the VCS any
[556]
stakeholders that there is no misrepresentation done in the financial
[560]
records and no misuse of the funds no fraud notice on this activity is done in
[564]
the company so once you found out here you make that kind of assurance that
[567]
okay whatever has been shown is perfect it's no problem in that so we are good
[572]
to go ahead on that well after learning this is with the infographic you can say
[576]
that you know the auditing is the process of evaluating the accounting
[580]
entries presented in the financial statement
[587]
or it checks the accuracy of the financial financial reports whereas the
[591]
if we talk about the assurance assurance is the process of analyzing and used in
[600]
the assessment of the accounting entries and the financial records so assurance
[607]
is also verifying the records available in the company's accounting records and
[611]
his as per the accounting standard and also as for the principal so it also
[616]
verifies that the accounting record is accurate or not
[621]
second the audit tells about what we call as the this representation done in
[630]
the financial reports and any misuse of the funds any fraud any dishonest
[634]
activity is done in the company or done by the company whereas assurance
[638]
specializing in assessing and improving the what we call as the quality of
[647]
information in the company and it helps in decision-making in the organization
[652]
3rd the audit is the first step and it is followed by the assurance or it is
[662]
done by the internal auditor and external assurance done by audit firm
[665]
when after all of this let me make my final conclusion on this audit versus
[671]
assurance is hand-in-hand process and used in evolution the financial records
[675]
of the company auditing includes making sure ethically presentation fairly
[680]
presented accurate and also it checks whether the financial reports are as for
[683]
the accounting standard an accounting principle and assurance shake said there
[687]
is no pre misrepresentation done in the financial records no misses it's the
[690]
no of funds, no fraud and no dishonest done and inform the scene to all the
[694]
stakeholders to them come well I hope you have got a fantastic idea regarding
