verification

verification
An *examination of an activity or asset in order to obtain evidence of its existence, condition, or truth. Verification is an important *substantive test to obtain *audit evidence: "Depending on the...circumstances, verification takes place intuitively or by instruction; instantly or over time; expertly or crudely; explicitly or implicitly; and formal or informal. Whatever the mechanism, however, verification can be described as a form of auditing which is conducted with the objective of establishing the degree of correspondence between an object of doubt and some acceptable criteria by which it can be judged" (Lee, 1993, 20). See also *physical verification.
