Question
After accounting for a sequence of inventory tags, an auditor traces a sample of tags to the physical inventory listing to obtain evidence that all items:Select one:a.included in the listing have been counted.b.included in the listing are represented by inventory tags.c.represented by inventory tags are bona fide.d.represented by inventory tags are included in the listing.
Solution
The correct answer is d. represented by inventory tags are included in the listing.
Here's why:
a. The auditor is not verifying that all items in the listing have been counted. They are tracing a sample of tags to the inventory listing, not the other way around.
b. The auditor is not verifying that all items in the listing are represented by inventory tags. They are tracing tags to the listing, not the listing to the tags.
c. The auditor is not verifying that all items represented by tags are bona fide. The question does not mention anything about the authenticity of the items.
d. The auditor is verifying that all items represented by tags are included in the listing. This is the purpose of tracing the tags back to the listing.
