INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ON AUDITING 520 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
Overview:
This International Standard on Auditing (ISA) deals with the auditor’s
use of analytical   procedures   as  
substantive   procedures   (“substantive   analytical  
procedures”).  It also  deals 
with  the  auditor’s 
responsibility  to  perform 
analytical procedures near 
the  end  of 
the  audit  that assist the  auditor 
when forming   an   overall  
conclusion   on the   financial  
statements.   
ISA   315 (Revised)1 deals with the  use 
of  analytical  procedures 
as  risk  assessment 
procedures.  ISA  330 
includes  requirements  and 
guidance  regarding  the 
nature,  timing  and 
extent  of  audit 
procedures  in  response 
to  assessed  risks; 
these audit procedures may include substantive analytical procedures
Objective:
The objectives of the auditor
are:
(a)To obtain relevant and reliable audit evidence when using substantive analytical procedures
(b)To design and perform analytical procedures near the end of the audit that assist the auditor when forming an overall conclusion as to whether the financial statements are consistent with the auditor’s understanding of the entity.
