If controls over the 　　completeness of income were expected to operate correctly, then the auditor would test those controls. 　　In B-Star, while controls could be in operation, e.g. the account clerks agreeing physical cash to computer summaries, 　　there is no indication that the control is documented; that is the computer summary is not signed to show the 　　comparison has taken place. The auditor could use the test of inquiry – asking the clerks whether the control has been 　　used, and observation – actually watching the clerks carry out the controls. As noted above though, lack of 　　documentation of the control does mean relying on tests of control for the assertion completeness of income has limited 　　value. 　　Substantive procedures 　　Substantive procedures include analytical procedures and other procedures. 　　Analytical procedures include the analysis of significant ratios and trends and subsequent investigation of any trends or 　　relationships that appear to be abnormal. These procedures can be used effectively in B-Star as an approximation of 　　income that can be obtained from sources other than the cash receipt records. 　　Other procedures, or tests of detail, are normally used to verify statement of financial position assertions and include 　　obtaining audit evidence relevant to specific assertions. However, they could be used in B-Star to trace individual 　　transactions through the sales/cash systems to ensure all ticket sales have been recorded （completeness assertion）。 The 　　use of other procedures will be time consuming.
