Controls over a set of data, programmes which together form an information system

Kontrole uporabniških rešitev (zbir programov, podatkov, ki oblikujejo informacijski sistem).

A distinct component of the accounting process (either computer-based, manual, or a combination) that processes information as a source of input to the general ledger. Information processed by an application system may be transferred to the general ledger by direct interface or posted journal entries. A single application system may process all of the information for a particular business cycle or principal business activity, or such processing may be performed by several application systems or an application system may have several subsystems (e.g., “a sales order processing system”).

Pomembna komponenta računovodskega procesa (bodisi računalniško podprta, ročna ali kot kombinacija obeh), ki obdeluje vhodne informacije, ki so podlaga za vnos v glavno knjigo. Informacije, ki se obdelujejo s posamezno uporabniško rešitvijo, so lahko v glavno knjigo prenesene bodisi neposredno bodisi na podlagi zbirne vknjižbe s temeljnico. Obdelava vseh informacij v določenem poslovnem ciklu ali temeljnih poslovnih dejavnosti se lahko izvaja z le eno uporabniško rešitvijo ali pa z več uporabniškimi rešitvami skupaj. Stopnja računalniškega podpiranja uporabniških rešitev je odvisna od stopnje uporabe računalniške tehnologije pri revidirancu.

The degree of certainty (and basis for a judgment) that an undetected material misstatement of the financial statements does not exist.

Stopnja gotovosti (in podlaga za presojo), da neodkrite pomembne napake in/ali nepravilnosti v računovodskih izkazih in/ali poslovanju ne obstajajo.

The audit approach is the combination of different types of audit tests that are employed to obtain the evidence necessary to achieve the objectives of an audit.

Revizijski pristop je kombinacija različnih vrst revizijskih preizkusov, ki jih uporabimo za pridobivanje dokazov, potrebnih za doseganje ciljev revizije.

A model that may be used to measure the combined effect (overall assurance) of the assurances we obtain from assessing risk (inherent assurance), identifying and testing controls (control assurance), and performing substantive procedures (substantive assurance) and to plan an appropriate combination of procedures to obtain reasonable assurance that an error has not occurred and caused an account balance to be materially misstated.

Model, ki se uporablja za merjenje strukture skupnega revizijskega zagotovila, ki ga pridobimo na podlagi ocene zagotovila pri delovanju (zagotovilo pri delovanju), pri preizkušanju delovanja notranjih kontrol (zagotovilo pri kontroliranju) in na podlagi izvajanja preizkušanja podatkov (zagotovilo pri preizkušanju). Model se uporablja za načrtovanje ustrezne sestave (kombinacije) revizijskih postopkov, zato da bi pridobili sprejemljivo zagotovilo o tem, da ne obstaja napaka ali nepravilnost, ki vpliva na to, da je znesek v računovodskih izkazih ali pri poslovanju pomembno napačno izkazan in/ali nepravilen.

Auditors must obtain competent, relevant and resonable audit evidence to support the auditor's judgement and conclusions regarding the organisation, programme, activity or function under audit. Sufficient audit evidence: are obtained if the extent of tests (complience and substantive) is adequate. Reliable audit evidence: are unbiased. Relevant: are related to audit objectives.

Treba je pridobiti zadostne, ustrezne in zanesljive dokaze, s katerimi revizor podpre ugotovitev o organizaciji, programu in dejavnosti, ki jo revidira. Zadostni: pridobimo jih z ustreznim obsegom preizkušanja podatkov. Ustrezni: so povezani s cilji revizije. Zanesljivi: so nepristranski.

The documents which provide full background information on the activities and services of the audited body which may be used in the familiarisation process by new auditors or in the planning process by the audit manager. In addition audit files supply written evidence of examinations carried out by the auditor on services and activites.

Delovni zapisi, ki se nanašajo na posamezne revizije, so znani kot sprotni dosjeji. Poleg teh se vodijo stalni dosjeji. Ti vsebujejo informacije, ki se bodo v naslednjih letih uporabile za druge revizije na tem področju. Ti dosjeji so podlaga za načrtovanje revizijskega dela.

Audit findings are the most important part of the audit report. The auditors present collective statements about certain part of auditee's business operations. Elements of findings are: condition, criteria, cause and effect.

Z revizijskimi razkritji revizor predstavi skupek ugotovitvenih in presojevalnih navedb o določenem delu revidirančevega poslovanja. Elementi revizijskega razkritja so opis dejanskega stanja, sodilo, presoja, sklep.

Auditors must define the scope and the content of auditing, procedures and ways of substantive testing in the audit programme. The audit programme must be prepared for each audit objective. The audit programme must assure that the auditor will acquire sufficient and reliable audit evidence for designing the audit opinion.

V revizijskem programu revizor določi obseg in vsebino revidiranja ter postopke in način preizkušanja podatkov, ki jih bo izvedel na izbrani populaciji. Revizor mora revizijski program določiti za vsak revizijski cilj. Revizijski program mora zagotoviti, da bo revizor pridobil ustrezne in zadostne revizijske dokaze za oblikovanje mnenja.

Obseg revizije

Audit segments present areas for auditing on which the court of audit issues opinnion. Audit segments in regularity audits differ from audit segments in performance audit.

Segment je vsebinsko opredeljena in zaokrožena celota institucionalne ravni (npr. neposredni proračunski uporabnik, posredni proračunski uporabnik, država kot celota) ali del, ki izraža določen vidik poslovanja te ravni (npr. izkaz, ekonomska kategorija ali posamezni vidik smotrnosti (učinkovitost, uspešnost ali gospodarnost)), o kateri računsko sodišče izreka revizijsko mnenje o izkazovanju in/ali poslovanju in/ali smotrnosti poslovanja.

Audit segments present areas for auditing. Audit segments in regularity audits differ from audit segments in performance audit. For example: in financial and regularity audits the segments are defined on the basis of economic classification: individual segment can be current expenditure, current transfers, capital expenditure, capital transfers. In performance audits each segment represents an issue referring to economy, efficiency and effectiveness (S)

Podsegment je smiselna in vsebinsko zaokrožena celota znotraj segmenta, o kateri računsko sodišče ne izreka revizijskega mnenja. Za podsegement se določi stopnja pomembnosti, ki se lahko razlikuje od stopnje pomembnosti, določene za segment, katerega sestavni del je. Dejstvo, da skupna vrednost napak oziroma nepravilnosti, ugotovljenih znotraj posameznega podsegmenta, presega stopnjo pomembnosti, določeno za ta podsegement, lahko vpliva na izrečeno revizijsko mnenje na način, kot se to opredeli v podrobnem revizijskem načrtu.

A directional testing approach that involves establishing a direction of primary concern (either overstatement or understatement) for each account balance or class of transactions and designing substantive procedures to test each account balance in that direction; generally, debit transactions and account balances with debit balances are tested for overstatement, and credit transactions and account balances with credit balances are tested for understatement.

Metodika usmerjenega preizkušanja, ki pomeni, da za vsako bilančno kontno stanje določimo neposredno (glavno) smer preizkušanja – precenjenost ali podcenjenost. Neposredni (glavni) preizkusi vknjižb na enem bilančnem kontnem stanju so hkrati posredni (posledični) preizkusi ustreznih vknjižb na enem ali več drugih bilančnih kontnih stanjih. Vsako bilančno kontno stanje moramo neposredno preizkusiti le v eni smeri, bodisi za precenitev bodisi za podcenitev, saj bo tako to kontno stanje posredno preizkušeno v drugi smeri. Na splošno velja, da neposredno preizkušamo debetne salde (v breme) za precenjenost, kreditne salde (v dobro) pa za podcenjenost.

Engagement risk, as it relates to an audit engagement, is the risk that: the firm may be exposed to adverse consequences as a result of its association with a client (e.g., negative publicity or litigation); the financial statements as a whole may be subject to material error or to misunderstanding by users as a result of factors that may be (a) pervasive to the audit engagement and financial statements or (b) specific to a significant account balance(s) and related potential error(s)

Izvedbeno tveganje, ki se nanaša na posamezno revizijo, je tveganje, v katerem je naša organizacija izpostavljena negativnim posledicam v zvezi z izvedbo posamezne revizije (npr. negativna publiciteta, če nam pri izvajanju revizije ne uspe izpolniti visokih strokovnih standardov, ali kadar so pričakovanja javnosti oziroma uporabnikov našega poročila večja od naših zmožnosti). Na izvedbeno tveganje vpliva obstoj velikih nepravilnosti ali prevar oziroma korupcije. Izvedbeno tveganje obstaja tudi, kadar v računovodskih izkazih obstajajo napake, ki so tako pomembne, da zavajajoče vplivajo na uporabnike teh izkazov. Izvedbeno tveganje je lahko prevladujoče in vpliva na revizijo kot celoto oziroma računovodske izkaze ali pa ga je mogoče povezati s posebnimi segmenti in pripadajočimi posebnimi revizijskimi cilji.

EUROSAI is one of the regional groups of the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). Its objective is to promote professional co-operation among SAI members, to promote the exchange of information and documentation, to promote the study of public audit, to stimulate the creating of University Professorships in this subject and to ensure the unification of terminology in the field of public audit.

EUROSAI je ena izmed organizacij, vključenih v INTOSAI. Njen cilj je pospeševanje strokovnega sodelovanja med VRI, izmenjava informacij in strokovnega gradiva, razvoj državnega revidiranja in zagotavljanje poenotenja terminologije na tem področju.

The branch of government which administers the law.

Veja oblasti, ki izvaja zakone.

The framework for the auditor to systematically fulfil the audit objective, including planning and supervision of the audit, gathering of competent, relevant and reasonable evidence, and an appropriate study and evaluation of internal controls.

Okvir revizorjevega dela za dosledno izpolnjevanje cilja revizije, tudi načrtovanje in nadziranje revizije, zbiranje dokazov ter ustrezno proučevanje in ovrednotenje notranjih kontrol.

The audit process includes field work that consists of: collecting, analysing and evaluating evidence.

Revizijski proces vključuje dejavnost »pridobivanje revizijskih dokazov«, ki zajema pridobivanje, analiziranje in vrednotenje revizijskih dokazov.

The audit objective of the financial audit is to express an opinion about financial statements.

Cilj revizij računovodskih izkazov je izraziti mnenje o aktu o računovodskih izkazih oziroma izkazih državnega proračuna.

Balance sheets and profit and loss accounts (or other forms of income and expenditure statements) together with such additional statements and notes as are identified as being within the scope of the audit opinion.

Postopki za pripravo in evidentiranje zanesljivih informacij ter poročanje o finančnih transakcijah.

A focus group is a selection of individuals brought together to discuss specific topics and issues.

Revizor se lahko odloči za pridobivanje revizijskih dokazov, tako da določi ciljne skupine. To so izbrani posamezniki (strokovnjaki, uporabniki, predstavniki revidiranca), ki v razpravi o določenih vprašanjih predstavijo svoja mnenja. Ta mnenja revizor uporabi kot referenčna strokovna mnenja za potrjevanje že pridobljenih revizijskih dokazov in za pripravo priporočil.

The final stage in the audit process is to check that the auditee has addressed the findings identified in the audit report and accepted Corrective measures or undertook activities to remedy the weaknesses found out in the auditee's business operation presented in the management letter.

Zaključna dejavnost v revizijskem procesu je preveritev, ali je revidiranec upošteval razkritja, opredeljena v revizijskem poročilu in sprejel ustrezne popravljalne ukrepe, h katerim je bil pozvan, oziroma ali je ukrepal v povezavi s slabostmi v poslovanju, s katerimi se je revidiranec seznanil v pismu poslovodstvu.

Generally, intentional misstatements of the financial statements caused by improper, unauthorized or illegal actions of management, employees, or third parties (e.g., falsification of accounting records, misappropriation of assets, suppression of the effects of transactions from accounting records, misapplication of accounting policies); fraud may not cause the financial statements to be misstated if, for example, assets are misappropriated and the loss is properly recorded in the financial statements.

Namerne napačne navedbe v računovodskih izkazih, ki so bile povzročene z neustrezno odobreno ali nezakonito odločitvijo vodstva, zaposlenih ali tretjih oseb (npr. s ponarejanjem računovodskih evidenc, poneverbo (nezakonitim prisvajanjem) sredstev, skrivanjem učinkov transakcij, ki so zabeležene v računovodskih evidencah). Prevara oziroma goljufija nujno še ne povzroči napačnega izkazovanja v računovodskih izkazih, npr. izguba, ki je posledica prevare ali korupcije, je v računovodskih izkazih pravilno evidentirana.

A matter becomes fundamental (sufficiently material) rather than material when its impact on the financial statements is so great as to render them misleading as a whole.

Zadeva postane bistvena in ne samo pomembna, kadar je njen vpliv na računovodske izkaze tako velik, da bi lahko v celoti zavajali.

It has many of the characteristics of external audit but may properly carry out the directions of the level of management to which it reports.

Notranja revizija je funkcionalna rešitev (služba, oddelek ...), ki jo vzpostavi organizacija sama v okviru pristojnosti svoje najvišje hierarhične ravni. Njene funkcije so med drugim preverjanje, vrednotenje ter spremljanje ustreznosti in učinkovitosti ureditve računovodstva, notranjega kontroliranja, preprečevanje prevar in korupcije ter pridobivanja zagotovila, da procesi delujejo v skladu s temi načeli. Čeprav ima večino enakih značilnosti kot zunanja revizija, pa praviloma deluje po usmeritvah vodstva, kateremu poroča.

The whole system of financial and other controls, including the organisational structure, methods, procedures and internal audit, established by management within its corporate goals, to assist in conducting the business of the audited entity in a regular economic, efficient and effective manner ; ensuring adherence to management policies ; safeguarding assets and resources ; securing the accuracy and completeness of accounting records ; and producing timely and reliable financial and management information.

Irregularities are audit findings that are referred to non compliance with laws and regulations. Irregularity is a result of infringement of a national regulation resulting from an act or omission by an economic operator, which has, or would have, the effect of prejudicing the public funds, either by reducing or losing public revenue or by an unjustified item of public expenditure.

Nepravilnosti so revizijska razkritja, ki se nanašajo na neskladnost poslovanja revidiranca s predpisi v takšnem obsegu, ki jo na podlagi presoje ugotovi revizor. Nepravilnost lahko izhaja iz dejanja ali opustitve dejanja revidiranca, ki ima ali bi lahko imela škodljive posledice za sredstva, ki jih revidiranec upravlja, in se kaže bodisi kot zmanjšanje ali izguba prihodka bodisi kot neupravičen izdatek.

In the planning phase of the performance audit, auditors ask questions which are the most important factors in determining the direction of the audit, the tools and techniques and the outcome of the audit. The issues asked should be broad enough to address significant vfm areas and permit exploration of the main factors influencing the subjects being examined. Some audits address just one issue but most address two or three. Each main issue has several sub-issues.

V fazi načrtovanja revizij smotrnosti poslovanja si bo revizor zastavil vprašanja, ki bodo edini najpomembnejši dejavnik pri določitvi usmeritve študije, orodij in tehnik in rezultata revizije. Vprašanja, ki jih revizorji postavijo, bi morala biti dovolj široka, da obravnavajo pomembne zadeve v zvezi s smotrnostjo poslovanja in omogočijo raziskovanje glavnih dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na pregledane teme.

Pismo predstojniku ali poslovodstvu je akt, ki se lahko izda revidirancu najpozneje z osnutkom revizijskega poročila. Z njim pa pristojni vrhovni državni revizor, v soglasju z namestnikom predsednika, sporoča revizijska razkritja, ki niso vplivala na mnenje, ter slabosti v revidirančevem poslovanju, ki se nanašajo predvsem na notranje kontroliranje.

Similar types of transactions that, in the aggregate, have a material effect on the financial statements.

Sorodne vrste poslovnih dogodkov, ki kot celota pomembno vplivajo na izkazovanje v računovodskih izkazih in pravilnost poslovanja.

In general terms, a matter may be judged material if knowledge of it would be likely to influence the user of the financial statements or the performance audit report. Materiality is often considered in terms of value but the inherent nature or characteristics of an item or group of items may also render a matter material - for example, where the law or some other regulation requires it to be disclosed separately regardless of the amount involved. In addition to materiality by value and by nature, a matter may be material because of the context in which it occurs. For example, considering an item in relation to the overall view given by the accounts, the total of which it forms a part ; associated terms ; the corresponding amount in previous years. Audit evidence plays an important part in the auditor's decision concerning the selection of issues and areas for audit and the nature, timing and extent of audit tests and procedures.

Na splošno: zadeva je pomembna, če njeno poznavanje lahko vpliva na uporabnika računovodskih izkazov ali na revizijsko poročilo; pomembnost se pogosto opredeljuje po vrednosti, vendar pa se zaradi narave ali značilnosti posamezne postavke ali skupine postavk zadeva lahko šteje za pomembno tudi takrat, kadar zakonski ali kak drug predpis zahteva, da se obravnava in razkrije posebej, ne glede na zneske, ki so z njo povezani; določena zadeva je lahko pomembna ne samo po vrednosti ali po naravi, temveč tudi glede na to, v kakšni zvezi se pojavlja: kadar se posamezna postavka proučuje v zvezi s splošnim pregledom, ki ga dajejo obračuni, v zvezi s celoto, katere del je, v zvezi z drugimi z njo povezanimi določbami ali v zvezi z zneski iz prejšnjih let; revizijski dokazi imajo pomembno vlogo pri revizorjevih odločitvah o izbiri vprašanj in področij revizije ter tudi o načinu, času in obsegu revizijskih preizkusov in postopkov.

Certain case can be material by value, by nature and also by context. For example when an item is reviewed in accordance with general reviews, other regulations or with sums from previous years, when irregularities or under-performance are reappearing.

Določena zadeva je lahko pomembna ne samo po vrednosti ali svoji naravi, temveč tudi glede na to, v kakšni zvezi se pojavlja. Na primer, kadar se posamezna postavka preučuje v zvezi s splošnim pregledom, ki ga dajejo obračuni v zvezi s celoto, katere del je, ali v zvezi z drugimi z njo povezanimi določbami ali v zvezi z zneski iz prejšnjih let, pri ponavljajočih se nepravilnostih in nesmotrnostih.

The case can be considered material also when the value is not material, but the nature of non compliance with laws or under-performance is such that the public funds users must be warned (for example: severe violation of regulations, obvious ineconomy…) or when legal regulations, programmes, projects, activities are necessary to be reviewed as a separate case regardless to the amounts referred to them.

Zadeva se lahko šteje za pomembno tudi takrat, ko vrednostno sicer ni pomembna, vendar je narava neskladnosti s predpisi oziroma nesmotrnost takšna, da je uporabnika revizijskega poročila treba na to opozoriti (npr. groba kršitev predpisov, očitno nevarčno ravnanje z javnimi sredstvi ...), ali kadar na primer zakonski ali kak drug predpis ali program, projekt, dejavnost zahteva, da se obravnava in razkrije posebej, ne glede na zneske, ki so z njo povezani.

Materiality by value is defined by identifying the materiality rate. Materiality rate is expressed in percentage from the value of audited item (revenues or expenditures, budget lines, assessment of possible savings, achieving effectiveness…) or any other professionally defined base for materiality.

Pomembnost po vrednosti se določi v odstotku od vrednosti predmeta revidiranja – kritične komponente – (npr. prihodkov ali prejemkov oziroma odhodkov ali izdatkov, aktive, proračunske postavke, ocenjevanja zneska možnega prihranka, doseganja večjih učinkov …) ali druge strokovno utemeljene osnove za določitev pomembnosti.

Misstatement are audit findings that are referred to incorrect presentation in the financial statements

So napačne navedbe v računovodskih izkazih.

These are controls which are likely to be effective in preventing or detecting a potential misstatement or irregularity and as such lessen or to try to lessen the seriousness or extent of specific identified risk by audit segment and related assertion to financial statements;

To so kontrole, pri katerih je velika verjetnost, da bodo učinkovite pri preprečevanju oz. odkrivanju morebitnih napak ali nepravilnosti ter bodo tako zmanjšale ali omilile učinke, ki izvirajo iz ugotovljenega specifičnega tveganja pri tistih posebnih revizijskih ciljih za posamezne segmente, na katere to tveganje vpliva.

It is a statistical sampling method in which a high value transaction is more likely to appear in the sample than one of lower value. It is a particular case of the statistical technique of probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling.

Vzorčenje po denarni enoti je, kot pove že ime, metoda statističnega vzorčenja, pri katerih imajo posamezne denarne (1 SIT) enote enako možnost, da bodo izbrane v vzorec. Ker so transakcije večjih vrednosti sestavljene iz več denarnih enot, imajo s tem višjo skupno vrednost in zato tudi večjo možnost, da bodo vključene v vzorec, kot tiste z majhno vrednostjo. Ta metoda spada v skupino metod VSZ – verjetnost izbora sorazmerna z – vrednostjo transakcije.

Most Likely Error (MLE) is the term applied, for each account area, as a sum of Known Error and projected errors. Errors found from 100 per cent testing of a defined set of transactions are collectively termed Known Error, and by definition are not subject to uncertainty. On the other hand, where only a sample of transactions has been tested, errors for this part of the population must be estimated from the sample data by an appropriate method. It is convenient to refer to these estimated errors as Projected Errors.

Najverjetnejši obseg napake (NON) je izraz, ki ga pri revidiranem segmentu uporabljamo za vsoto znanih in projiciranih napak. Napake, ki jih odkrijemo pri 100-odstotnem preizkušanju določene skupine transakcij, skupno imenujemo znana napaka, ki že po definiciji ni podvržena negotovosti. Na drugi strani pa moramo, kadar preizkušamo samo na vzorcu transakcij, na podlagi podatkov iz vzorca oceniti napake za ta del populacije z ustrezno metodo. Te ocenjene napake ustrezno poimenujemo projicirane napake.

An odit objective related to transactions where each is required to have appropriate evidence that it is real and related to the organisation.

Posebni revizijski cilj, ki se nanaša na poslovne dogodke, za katere morajo obstajati ustrezni dokazi, da so resnični in se nanašajo na organizacijo/ustanovo. Pri tem posebnem revizijskem cilju preverjamo možnost napake, da se knjiženi poslovni dogodki niso zgodili ali niso v skladu s pravno podlago, ki ureja sestavljanje računovodskih izkazov.

Are wider impact of a policy on society as a whole. The outcomes are consequences of implementation of a programme, but they are not what the programme reached (that is an output). It is possible that ministries or other organisations can influence the outcomes in a limited way. Therefore the outcomes can be unreliable indicator of organisation's effectiveness, but they are reliable indicators of the objectives' scope which was reached

So opredeljeni kot širši vpliv politike nekega področja na družbo kot celoto. Predstavljajo posledice izvajanja nekega programa in niso tisto, kar je naredil sam program (to je izid). Možno je, da posamezna ministrstva ali druge organizacije lahko le omejeno vplivajo na učinke. Zato je lahko učinek nezanesljiv kazalec uspešnosti delovanja organizacije, vendar pa zagotavlja dober kazalec obsega, do katerega so bili uresničeni cilji organizacije ali njenih enot.

Is included in the audit proposal and must contain: audit segments, way of implementing the audit, the time needed to complete the audit, costs

Je sestavni del predloga za uvedbo revizije in mora zajemati: segmente revizije, način izvajanja revizije, potreben čas za izvedbo revizije, predračun stroškov.

Are products or services or situation which occurs because of some programme or organisation's activities. Outputs are services, manufactured goods or implemented tasks. Only in cases when the organisation or its departments control its /their products, they can prepare reasonable basis for measuring operations of a programme or an organisation.

Je takojšni fizični produkt ali storitev ali stanje, ki nastane z dejavnostjo nekega programa ali organizacije. Pomeni proizvedene dobrine in storitve ali opravljeno delo. Samo kadar imajo posamezna organizacija ali njeni oddelki dober nadzor nad učinki svojih poslovnih dejavnosti, lahko izidi tvorijo razumne podlage za merjenje delovanja posamezne organizacije ali njenega oddelka pri upravljanju njenih dejavnosti.

Reasonable assurance that a potential error has not occurred and caused the financial statements to be materially misstated; overall assurance is derived from one or a combination of the following three sources:

Sprejemljivo zagotovilo, da je bil posebni revizijski cilj dosežen oziroma da v zvezi z njim ne obstaja napaka ali nepravilnost, kar tudi vpliva na to, da v računovodskih izkazih ni pomembno napačnih navedb in v poslovanju ni pomembnih nepravilnosti. Sprejemljivo zagotovilo pridobimo iz kombinacije naslednjih treh virov:

An amount by which an account balance as recorded is greater than the balance that should be recorded.

Prikazovanje v preveliki vrednosti – nasprotje podcenitve oziroma podvrednotenja.

An audit of the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which the audited entity uses its resources in carrying out its responsibilities.

An amount, based on but normally less than planning materiality, to allow for the discovery of an expected amount of misstatement; an amount judged to be appropriate for use in designing substantive procedures that will give us reasonable assurance that we will detect material misstatement if it exists.

Določanje načrtovane natančnosti ali ciljne natančnosti ocene je bistvena značilnost načrtovanja vsake revizije, ki vsebuje vzorčenje. To je znesek, ki temelji in je izračunan na podlagi zneska pomembnosti, in sicer tako, da dopušča ugotovitev napak in/ali nepravilnosti v naprej predvidenem znesku. Znesek načrtovane natančnosti je znesek, na podlagi katerega načrtujemo obseg preizkušanja podatkov tako, da nam omogoči pridobiti zadostno zagotovilo, da bodo ugotovljene vse pomembne napake/nepravilnosti, če te obstajajo.

Basic assumptions, consistent premises, logical principles and requirements which represent the general framework for developing auditing standards.

Temeljne predpostavke, trditve, logična načela in zahteve, ki pomenijo splošen okvir za razvijanje revizijskih standardov.

In the pre-audit the auditors collect audit data for risk assessment (inherent risk, control risk, risk connected with performance) or obtain other data necessary for deciding on selection of audits for Annual programme

V predhodni reviziji revizor zlasti pridobiva podatke za ocenitev tveganj v poslovanju revidiranca (tveganje pri delovanju in tveganje pri kontroliranju ali tveganje, povezano s smotrnostjo poslovanja) oziroma pridobi druge podatke, ki so potrebni za odločitev o uvrstitvi revizije v letni program dela.

Prior to the commencement of audit, auditors may demand the user of public funds to provide all information which they consider relevant to their audit, including bookkeeping documents, data and other documentation, and make other enquiries necessary for the planning or conducting the audit.

Pred uvedbo revizije lahko revizor zahteva od uporabnika javnih sredstev takoj vsa obvestila, ki se mu zdijo potrebna, knjigovodske listine, podatke in drugo dokumentacijo, ter opravi druge poizvedbe, potrebne za načrtovanje ali izvajanje revizije.

The pre-audit and the full audit will have the same sequence of activities in the audit process: detailed planning, collecting audit evidence, reporting (see audit plan)

Revizijski proces bo zajemal prav take dejavnosti, ne glede na to, ali je bil predložen predlog za predhodno revizijo ali revizijo: pripravo podrobnega načrta, pridobivanje revizijskih dokazov, poročanje (glej načrt revizije).

Analytical procedures applied in planning an audit engagement in order to help us identify unusual or unexpected balances and relationships that may indicate a specific risk of material misstatement and familiarize ourselves with the client's liquidity and profitability.

Analitični postopki, ki jih uporabljamo pri načrtovanju revizije in nam pomagajo ugotoviti nenavadne in nepričakovane zneske in povezave, ki utegnejo nakazovati obstoj specifičnega tveganja, da v poslovanju revidiranca obstajajo pomembne nepravilnosti in/ali da računovodski izkazi vsebujejo pomembne napake.

A sequence of related procedures within a business cycle that are performed to accomplish a major objective of the business cycle.

Temeljna poslovna dejavnost obsega zaporedje medsebojno povezanih opravil oziroma postopkov znotraj posameznega segmenta delovanja (poslovnega cikla), ki se izvaja z namenom doseganja uresničevanja glavnega cilja segmenta delovanja (cikla).

Javno naročilo kot skupek dejanj, ki jih opravi naročnik s ciljem nabave blaga, oddaje storitev ali gradnje.

Quality Assurance is a process that defines ways and procedures for reviewing efficiency and effectiveness of implementing quality standards that the Court of Audit defined as quality criteria in the internal acts – in guidelines and audit manual.

Zagotavljanje kakovosti je proces, ki določa način in postopke preverjanja učinkovitosti in uspešnosti izvajanja standardov kakovosti, ki jih je računsko sodišče določilo kot merila kakovosti v svojih internih aktih, predvsem v smernicah in revizijskem priročniku.

Random errors are those which could also have occurred in any of those transactions which were not sampled for testing.

Slučajne napake so tiste napake, ki bi se lahko primerile tudi pri kateri koli od transakcij, ki niso bile izbrane v vzorec.

When planning an audit, auditors carry out risk assessment. The result of this assessment is a list of the specific risk factors which, in auditor's judgement, affect each segment of the audit. Within each segment each specific risk factor affects one or more of the audit objectives. The specific risk factor may apply to all or part of the affected audit objective.

Ko načrtujemo revizijo, izvedemo oceno tveganja. Rezultat ocene tveganja je seznam specifičnih dejavnikov tveganja, ki po našem mnenju vplivajo na revizijske segmente. V okviru posameznega segmenta specifični dejavniki tveganja vplivajo na enega ali več revizijskih ciljev. Specifični dejavnik tveganja se lahko nanaša v celoti ali samo delno na prizadeti revizijski cilj.

Audit evidence can be obtained using various techniques (observation, enquiry, analysis,…); the auditor can apply such techniques to an entire set of data or may choose to draw conclusions about the entire set of data (the population) by testing a representative sampleof items selected from it: this is audit sampling.

Revizijske dokaze je mogoče pridobiti z uporabo različnih tehnik (opazovanje, poizvedovanja, analiziranja ...); revizor lahko uporabi take tehnike na celotnem sklopu podatkov ali pa se odloči, da bo o celotnem sklopu podatkov (populaciji) sklepal na podlagi preizkušanja reprezentativnega vzorca postavk, ki jih je iz tega sklopa izbral. Ta postopek se imenuje revizijsko vzorčenje.

Simple random sampling is type of smpling where all transactions have the same chance of being included in the sample. A high value transaction is no more likely to be selected than one of low value, one with low risk of error has the same chance of inclusion as a high risk transaction.

To je vzorčenje, kjer imajo vse transakcije enako možnost, da bodo vključene v vzorec. Transakcija z visoko vrednostjo nima nič večje možnosti, da bo izbrana, kot transakcija z majhno vrednostjo.

Stratified random sampling is an extension of simple random sampling, in which the population is first divided into discrete bands, or strata, each being fairly homogeneous with respect to value and risk.

Pri stratificiranem slučajnem vzorčenju gre le za razširitev enostavnega slučajnega vzorčenja, pri katerem populacijo najprej razdelimo v ločene skupine, stratume, pri čemer je vsak stratum precej homogen glede na vrednost in tveganje.
