QUESTION: 37 Exam Topic: 1, Volume A

Productivity statistics are provided quarterly to a company's board of directors. An auditor checked the ratios and other statistics in the four most recent reports. The auditor used scratch paper and copies of the board reports to verify the accuracy of computations and compared the data used in the computations with supporting documents. The auditor wrote a note describing this work for the workpapers and then discarded the scratch paper and report copies. The auditor's note stated.
"The ratios and other statistics in the quarterly board reports were checked for the last four quarters, and appropriate supporting documents were examined. All amounts appear to be appropriate."
