Resumen
We provide practical considerations to guide auditors in performing a preliminary assessment of the design of the auditee?s control structure related to income tax account balances and their related disclosures which should contribute to more reliable financial reporting. While our process is specifically designed for use in performing an integrated audit under PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5 (PCAOB, 2007), the internal control objectives and related control activities we present are also useful in performing other types of audits or limited engagements.
