Question

Assume that you are currently working as an accountant, and your manager has to take an unexpected sick leave. Because you did very well in your accounting classes, the Senior Accountant asks you to step up and help with the review of reconciliations. What would be your first step? Maybe you would dive right into it, assuming you would figure out what to do as you moved through all the existing reconciliations, or maybe you would ask for a copy of policies and procedures for this task if any exist, so you could find instructions without asking the Senior Accountant constantly what to do. In addition to reviewing reconciliations, you will need to review disclosures to financial statements. How would you know if all the necessary disclosures were prepared and contained correct information?
