evidence
Control deficiencies can result from deficiencies in the design of an entity's controls and/or failures
in the operation of an entity's controls. In this situation, the controls are operating as designed, so
there is no failure in the operation of the controls. However, a control deficiency exists because
there is a deficiency in the design of the controls. The auditor must determine if the control
deficiency is a material weakness by obtaining further audit evidence.
The below control transactions relate to the integrated audit of an issuer. Determine if
each control is an entity-level control. If the control is not an entity-level control,
determine which cycle the control most likely relates to.
For each of the control procedures reflected in the table below, click in the associated
cell and select from the list the most appropriate category. Options may be selected

Management signs off that they have read and understood the
8 company's Code of Ethics.
The following draft report was prepared by a staff associate and relates to the questions located in
the Internal Control Report tab:
Draft Report:
Question 1
Question 4
Management is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting, and for its assessment about the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting.
Question 5
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the entity's internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit. We conducted our Question 6 in accordance with Question 7 in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects.

An audit of internal control over financial reporting involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about whether a material weakness exists. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks that a material weakness exists. An audit
includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based
on the assessed risk.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is Question 8 to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
An entity's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with Question 9 in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with
governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and
correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its Question 10, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and
correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, Sling Co. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, Year 1, based on Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by Question 11.
Peckman, CPAs
