Confirmation of Receivables
Receivables should be confirmed, unless:
Accounts receivable are immaterial,
The use of confirmations would be
ineffective, or
The auditors’ combined assessment of
inherent and control risk is low, and
audit risk can be reduced to
acceptably low level with substantive
tests

Types of Confirmations
Two methods of confirmation of receivables:
Positive confirmations – request addressed to
the debtor asking for a reply
Ordinarily sent with balances due on them
Blank forms – leave amount blank (used less
frequently)
Negative confirmations – ask debtor to advise
the auditors only if the balance shown is
incorrect
Low level of assessed risk of material
misstatement
Large number of small balances
A low error rate is expected
No reason to believe the respondent will ignore the
request
