Audit completeness / guided example

What is missing between February and April?

Two statements for one account leave March uncovered. The observed balance difference helps describe the exception, but only the missing statement can explain the activity in that period.

Checks performed

  1. Confirmed that both statements name account 4408 and use PKR.
  2. Checked each statement's own opening balance, net movement, closing balance, and listed pages.
  3. Compared the February closing balance with the April opening balance. The difference is PKR 112,780.50 across the uncovered interval.
  4. Compared the supplied files with the requested February–April scope. No March statement was present in the review package.

Coverage exception: no statement was supplied for 1–31 March 2025.

Observed balance difference: PKR 112,780.50 between the February close and April opening balance.

Conclusion and next action

The supplied files leave March uncovered for the account in scope. PKR 112,780.50 is the difference between two observed balances, not a conclusion about loss, expense, or transaction purpose. Ordinary receipts, transfers, fees, or other activity may explain it; the current evidence cannot say which.

Specific request

Request the complete 1–31 March 2025 statement for account 4408 in PKR, including its opening and closing balances and all pages. If the bank issued no statement for that period, obtain confirmation from the bank and record the resulting limitation.
