A.
Verify that extensions and footings on the entity's sales invoices and monthly customer statements have been recomputed.
B.
Inspect the entity's reports of prenumbered shipping documents that have not been recorded in the sales journal.
C.
Compare the invoiced prices on prenumbered sales invoices to the entity's authorized price list.
D.

Suggested Answer:B🗳️
Choice "B" is correct. Examination of reports of shipments not recorded in the sales journal is an appropriate test of controls to determine whether all sales have been recorded. Choice "A" is incorrect. Verification that extensions and footings on sales invoices and statements have been recomputed by client personnel ensures that independent checks are being performed, but does not address whether all sales transactions have been recorded. Choice "C" is incorrect. Comparison of invoiced prices with the client's authorized price list ensures that the prices charged are authorized, but does not address whether all sales transactions have been recorded. Choice "D" is incorrect. Inquiring about credit policies is an appropriate audit procedure to verify authorization and valuation of sales transactions, not completeness.
