Audit evidence is the information used by the auditor in arriving at the conclusions on
which the audit opinion is based, and includes the information contained in the accounting
records underlying the financial statements and other information.

Accounting records include the records of initial entries and supporting records, such as checks and records of electronic fund transfers; invoices; journal entries, and other adjustments to the financial statements that are not reflected in formal journal entries; and records such as work sheets and spreadsheets supporting cost allocations, computations, reconciliations, and
disclosures. Many times the entries in the accounting records are initiated, recorded,
processed, and reported in electronic form.

Other information is audit evidence that
includes minutes of meetings; confirmations from third parties; industry analysts' reports;
comparable data about competitors (benchmarking); controls manuals; information
obtained by the auditor from such audit procedures as inquiry, observation, and inspection;
and other information developed by, or available to, the auditor that permits the auditor to
reach conclusions through valid reasoning.
