Our Audit Manual Package (International) can be browsed online or sections of content or commentary can be downloaded in Microsoft word or PDF.

- Permanent file documentation that provides a structure for your permanent files and outlines the information required which is of continuing importance to an audit over a number of years.
- Other forms. We also include other forms that may assist with the audit including lead schedules and staff appraisal forms.
- This subscription also includes the Audit Procedures Manual which includes guidance on general audit procedures such as the planning, controlling, recording and completion of audit work. It also includes specific procedures by audit area, for example, income and debtors, and sets out the Mercia approach used within the programmes contained in your Audit Manual. There are also sections on Ethics and Audit Regulation & Quality Control and will help ensure compliance with ISQC1. This manual will need tailoring by firms for their own internal policies and procedures.
April 2021
A number of changes have been throughout the manual to encourage teams to consider the use of audit data analytics (ADA) on audit engagements. These changes principally focus on the use of ADA as part of the risk assessment, selection of high risk transactions for testing and stratification of populations to assist with sampling, although teams are encouraged to consider its use in other areas, with revisions to planning forms providing prompts for you to record its planned use. Given the audit quality and efficiency gains which can provided by the use of ADA, a new planning form (B20) has been added for teams to appraise its use on engagements and record why ADA was or was not considered appropriate to use. Where the use of ADA is intended, a number of other revisions have been made throughout the manual to help you record and reflect on the results from its use.
