問題:Which of the following audit techniques is not an analytical procedure?
  A. Trend analysis.
  B. Reasonableness testing.
  C. Examining related accounts in conjunction with each other.
  D. Directional testing.
  答案:The correct answer is: Directional testing
  解析Directional testing is not an analytical procedure, it is a substantive procedure. The concept of directional testing derives from the principles of double entry bookkeeping in that for every debit there is a corresponding credit. Therefore, any misstatement of a debit entry will result in either a corresponding misstatement in a credit entry or a misstatement in the opposite direction of another debit entry.
