Summary of Assertions and Procedures
| Assertion | Key Question | Example of Audit Procedure |
|---|---|---|
| Occurrence | Did the transaction genuinely happen? | Inspect invoices for PPE purchases |
| Completeness | Has every asset or disposal been recorded? | Trace physical assets to the PPE register |
| Accuracy | Is the amount correct? | Compare the recorded cost with the invoice |
| Cut-off | Is the transaction recorded in the correct year? | Inspect invoices before and after year-end |
| Classification | Is the transaction recorded in the correct account? | Review repairs and maintenance expenses |
| Existence | Does the recorded asset physically exist? | Select assets from the register and inspect them |
| Rights and obligations | Does the company legally own or control the asset? | Inspect title deeds or registration documents |
| Valuation and allocation | Is PPE valued correctly? | Recalculate depreciation |
| Presentation and disclosure | Is PPE properly shown in the financial statements? | Review financial statement notes |
PPE Register
A PPE register is an important document used by the company and the auditor.
A good PPE register normally includes:
| Information | Example |
|---|---|
| Asset description | Toyota Hilux |
| Asset identification number | VEH-2025-008 |
| Purchase date | 15 March 2025 |
| Cost | RM120,000 |
| Location | Kuantan Branch |
| Depreciation method | Straight-line method |
| Useful life | Five years |
| Accumulated depreciation | RM24,000 |
| Carrying amount | RM96,000 |
| Disposal details | Not applicable |
The auditor uses the PPE register to select assets for inspection, recalculate depreciation and review additions and disposals.
Audit of PPE Disposals
When a PPE item is sold or scrapped, the auditor should ensure that:
- The disposal was properly authorised.
- Sales proceeds were recorded.
- The asset's cost was removed from the records.
- Accumulated depreciation was removed.
- The gain or loss on disposal was correctly calculated.
- The asset was removed from the PPE register.
Disposal Example
A machine has:
- Cost: RM80,000
- Accumulated depreciation: RM60,000
- Carrying amount: RM20,000
- Selling price: RM25,000
The company should record a gain on disposal of RM5,000.
Audit of PPE Additions
When checking new PPE purchases, the auditor should inspect:
| Audit Evidence | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Purchase invoice | To verify the purchase price |
| Purchase agreement | To confirm the terms of the purchase |
| Payment records | To confirm that payment was made |
| Board approval | To confirm authorisation for major purchases |
| Physical asset | To confirm existence |
| PPE register entry | To confirm the asset was properly recorded |
| Depreciation calculation | To check whether depreciation begins at the correct time |
Example
A company purchases a new machine for RM250,000.
The auditor should:
- Inspect the supplier's invoice.
- Check the authorised purchase order.
- Trace the payment to the bank statement.
- Inspect the machine physically.
- Check the asset tag and serial number.
- Trace the machine to the PPE register.
- Recalculate depreciation.
Capital Expenditure Versus Revenue Expenditure
One important audit issue is determining whether expenditure should be recorded as an asset or as an expense.
| Type of Expenditure | Accounting Treatment | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Capital expenditure | Recorded as PPE | Purchase of a new delivery van |
| Capital expenditure | Added to the cost of an existing asset | Major upgrade that extends a machine's useful life |
| Revenue expenditure | Recorded as an expense | Routine servicing of a delivery van |
| Revenue expenditure | Recorded as an expense | Minor repairs to office furniture |
Why Is This Important?
If a company incorrectly records repair expenses as PPE:
- PPE will be overstated.
- Expenses will be understated.
- Profit will be overstated.
Example
A company spends RM4,000 repairing a machine and records it as a PPE addition.
Correct treatment:
Dr Repairs and Maintenance Expense RM4,000
Cr Cash or Payables RM4,000
Incorrect capitalisation would cause both PPE and profit to be overstated.
Substantive Audit Procedures for PPE - Presentation and Disclosure
Presentation and Disclosure
Audit Objective
To ensure that PPE balances and related information are properly presented in the financial statements.
Audit Procedures
The auditor may:
- Check whether PPE is correctly classified as a non-current asset.
- Inspect the company's accounting policies.
- Review disclosures relating to depreciation methods and useful lives.
- Verify movements in cost and accumulated depreciation.
- Check whether pledged assets have been disclosed.
- Review the disclosure of significant lease arrangements.
- Confirm that gains or losses from disposals are properly presented.
The procedures in the uploaded slides also emphasise reviewing asset movements during the year and ensuring that disclosures are appropriate.
Substantive Audit Procedures for PPE - Valuation and Allocation
Valuation and Allocation
Audit Objective
To ensure that PPE is recorded at an appropriate amount and depreciation is correctly calculated.
Audit Procedures
The auditor may:
- Inspect invoices and purchase documentation for PPE additions.
- Check whether directly attributable costs have been included appropriately.
- Recalculate depreciation.
- Check the depreciation method, useful life and residual value.
- Review the gain or loss on disposal.
- Inspect valuation reports for revalued assets.
- Evaluate the competence, capability and objectivity of an external valuer.
- Check for signs of impairment, such as damaged or obsolete equipment.
Depreciation Example
A machine costs RM100,000. Its residual value is RM10,000 and its useful life is five years.
Using the straight-line method:
The auditor should recalculate the depreciation and compare it with the amount recorded by the client.
Substantive Audit Procedures for PPE - Rights and Obligations
Rights and Obligations
Audit Objective
To ensure that the company owns the asset or has a valid right to use it.
Audit Procedures
The documents inspected depend on the type of asset.
| PPE Type | Supporting Document |
|---|---|
| Freehold land and buildings | Title deed |
| Leasehold property | Lease agreement |
| Motor vehicles | Vehicle registration document |
| Machinery and office equipment | Purchase invoice |
| Leased assets | Lease contract |
These examples are also highlighted in the substantive procedures table in the uploaded slides.
Substantive Audit Procedures for PPE - Existence
Existence
Audit Objective
To ensure that recorded PPE assets physically exist.
Audit Procedures
The auditor may:
- Select items from the PPE register.
- Visit the company's premises.
- Physically inspect the selected assets.
- Check the serial number, asset tag and location.
- Confirm whether the asset is still being used.
Example
A company records 20 delivery vans. The auditor selects five vans from the register and inspects them at the company's parking area.
- Assertion tested: Existence
Substantive Audit Procedures for PPE - Completeness
Completeness
Audit Objective
To ensure that all PPE additions and disposals have been recorded.
Audit Procedures
The auditor may:
- Select physical assets observed at the business premises and trace them to the PPE register.
- Check purchase invoices and supporting documents for newly acquired PPE.
- Review board of directors' meeting minutes for approval of major purchases or disposals.
- Inspect disposal documents to ensure assets sold or scrapped have been removed from the register.
- Review repairs and maintenance expenses to identify items that should possibly be capitalised.
Example
The auditor notices a newly installed air-conditioning system during a physical inspection. The auditor checks whether it is included in the PPE register.
- Assertion tested: Completeness
Common Risks in the Audit of PPE
| Risk | Possible Misstatement |
|---|---|
| A fictitious asset is recorded | PPE is overstated |
| A disposed asset remains in the register | PPE and accumulated depreciation are overstated |
| Repair costs are recorded as assets | PPE and profit are overstated |
| Major improvements are recorded as expenses | PPE and profit are understated |
| Depreciation is not recorded | PPE and profit are overstated |
| Incorrect useful life is used | Depreciation expense is incorrect |
| Asset purchased near year-end is recorded in the wrong period | Cut-off error |
| Company records an asset that it does not legally own | Rights and obligations issue |
| Revalued assets use an unreasonable valuation | PPE is misstated |
Developing the Audit Plan for PPE
When planning the audit, the auditor should consider the nature and size of PPE transactions.
The uploaded slides emphasise three important planning considerations:
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Materiality | PPE amounts may be large enough to influence users' decisions |
| Inherent risk | Certain PPE transactions are more likely to contain errors or irregularities |
| PPE register | The register provides detailed information required for audit testing |
Why Auditors Often Use a Substantive Approach
PPE purchases and disposals are usually infrequent but individually material. Therefore, auditors commonly focus on substantive procedures rather than relying heavily on tests of controls.
For example, instead of testing a large number of internal control activities, the auditor may directly inspect the invoice, approval documents and physical asset for a major machine purchased during the year.
Presentation and Disclosure Objectives
These objectives focus on how PPE information is shown in the financial statements and notes to the accounts.
The auditor should check whether the company has properly disclosed:
- The cost or valuation of PPE
- Depreciation methods
- Useful lives or depreciation rates
- Accumulated depreciation
- Additions and disposals during the year
- Assets pledged as security for loans
- Relevant lease arrangements
- Accounting policies relating to PPE
The disclosure must also be clear, properly classified and supported by accurate figures.
Balance-Related Audit Objectives
These objectives focus on PPE balances reported at the end of the financial year.
| Assertion | What the Auditor Wants to Confirm | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Existence | Recorded assets physically exist and are still in use | A vehicle listed in the PPE register can be physically inspected |
| Rights and obligations | The company owns the asset or has the legal right to use it | The company's name appears on the vehicle registration document |
| Completeness | All PPE used by the business has been included in the records | A newly purchased photocopy machine is included in the register |
| Valuation and allocation | PPE is reported at an appropriate amount | Depreciation has been calculated correctly |
Important Distinction
Students frequently confuse existence and completeness.
| Assertion | Direction of Testing | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Existence | Start from the accounting records and inspect the physical asset | To ensure recorded assets are real |
| Completeness | Start from physical assets and trace them to the accounting records | To ensure no assets have been omitted |
Example
An auditor selects a machine from the PPE register and walks to the factory to inspect it.
- Assertion tested: Existence
An auditor walks around the factory, notices a new machine and checks whether it is included in the PPE register.
- Assertion tested: Completeness
Transaction-Related Audit Objectives
The auditor must obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether PPE has been properly recorded and disclosed in the financial statements.
Audit objectives can be divided into three groups:
- Transaction-related objectives
- Balance-related objectives
- Presentation and disclosure objectives
These objectives apply to transactions such as purchases and disposals of PPE during the year.
| Assertion | What the Auditor Wants to Confirm | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Occurrence | Recorded additions and disposals genuinely happened | A machine recorded as purchased was actually acquired |
| Completeness | All PPE purchases and disposals have been recorded | A lorry sold during the year has been removed from the PPE register |
| Accuracy | Transactions have been recorded at the correct amounts | A machine costing RM80,000 is not recorded as RM8,000 |
| Cut-off | Transactions are recorded in the correct accounting period | Equipment received after year-end is not recorded as a current-year purchase |
| Classification | Transactions are recorded in the correct accounts | Routine repair costs are recorded as expenses, not as new machinery |
Conclusion
For PPE transactions, ask:
Did the transaction happen, was everything recorded, was the amount correct, was it recorded in the correct year, and was it placed in the correct account?
Important PPE Terms
| Term | Simple Meaning |
|---|---|
| Addition | A new PPE item purchased or constructed during the year |
| Disposal | A PPE item sold, scrapped or removed from use |
| Depreciation | Allocation of the cost of an asset over its useful life |
| Accumulated depreciation | Total depreciation charged from the date the asset was first used |
| Carrying amount | Cost or valuation of PPE minus accumulated depreciation and impairment losses |
| Capital expenditure | Expenditure recorded as an asset because it provides benefits for more than one accounting period |
| Revenue expenditure | Routine expenditure recorded as an expense, such as repairs and maintenance |
| PPE register | A detailed list of the company's PPE items, sometimes called a fixed asset register or plant register |
| Impairment | A reduction in the recoverable value of an asset |
Why Is the Audit of PPE Important?
- PPE often represents a significant portion of a company's total assets.
- The purchase or disposal of PPE may materially affect profit.
- Depreciation must be calculated correctly.
- Assets may be recorded even though they do not physically exist.
- Old or damaged assets may remain in the accounting records.
- Repair expenses may be incorrectly capitalised as assets.
- Assets may be sold but not removed from the PPE register.

Meaning of Property, Plant and Equipment
Meaning of Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are non-current assets used by a business to support its operations. These assets are normally used for more than one accounting period and are not purchased for immediate resale.
Examples of PPE include:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Property | Land, factory buildings, office buildings and warehouses |
| Plant | Machinery, production equipment and manufacturing systems |
| Equipment | Computers, office furniture, air conditioners and photocopy machines |
| Vehicles | Cars, vans, lorries and delivery motorcycles |
PPE may be owned by the business or held under an appropriate lease arrangement. The slides identify land and buildings, machinery, vehicles, furniture and other equipment as common PPE categories.

Memahami Konsep FINTECH
E-Pembayaran dan Cryptocurrency
Nota mesra pelajar berasaskan pendekatan literasi kewangan AKPK
1. Apakah Maksud FINTECH?
FINTECH ialah singkatan kepada financial technology atau teknologi kewangan. FINTECH merujuk kepada penggunaan teknologi digital untuk memudahkan urusan kewangan seperti pembayaran, pemindahan wang, simpanan, pelaburan dan pembiayaan.
Matlamat utama FINTECH adalah untuk menjadikan transaksi kewangan lebih cepat, mudah dan efisien. Walau bagaimanapun, pengguna perlu mengamalkan pengurusan kewangan secara berhemah dan memahami risiko sebelum menggunakan sesuatu kemudahan digital.
2. E-Pembayaran
E-pembayaran ialah kaedah membuat bayaran secara elektronik tanpa menggunakan wang tunai fizikal.
Contoh e-pembayaran
| Kaedah | Contoh penggunaan |
|---|---|
| Kad debit atau kad kredit | Membayar barangan di kedai atau laman web |
| Perbankan dalam talian | Membayar bil dan memindahkan wang |
| DuitNow QR | Mengimbas kod QR untuk membuat bayaran |
| E-dompet | Membayar makanan, pengangkutan atau pembelian harian |
| Pindahan segera | Memindahkan wang kepada individu atau organisasi |
Kelebihan e-pembayaran
E-pembayaran memudahkan pengguna membuat transaksi dengan pantas. Pengguna juga dapat menyemak rekod perbelanjaan melalui aplikasi atau penyata bank. Hal ini membantu proses penyediaan bajet dan pemantauan aliran tunai.
Risiko e-pembayaran
Antara risiko yang perlu diberi perhatian ialah penipuan dalam talian, pautan palsu, kebocoran kata laluan, kehilangan telefon pintar dan pembelian impulsif. Kemudahan membayar hanya dengan beberapa klik boleh menyebabkan pengguna berbelanja tanpa perancangan.
Amalan selamat
Gunakan aplikasi rasmi, aktifkan pengesahan dua faktor, jangan berkongsi nombor PIN atau kod OTP dan semak nama penerima sebelum mengesahkan transaksi. Elakkan mengklik pautan pembayaran yang mencurigakan.
3. Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency atau mata wang kripto ialah aset digital yang menggunakan teknologi kriptografi untuk merekod dan melindungi transaksi. Antara contoh yang terkenal ialah Bitcoin dan Ether.
Di Malaysia, aset digital bukan mata wang sah atau legal tender. Cryptocurrency juga bukan instrumen pembayaran yang dikawal selia oleh Bank Negara Malaysia seperti Ringgit Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, aktiviti perdagangan aset digital melalui bursa tertentu tertakluk kepada pengawasan Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia.
Mengapa seseorang membeli cryptocurrency?
Sesetengah individu membeli cryptocurrency sebagai aset pelaburan kerana berharap nilainya meningkat. Namun begitu, harganya boleh berubah dengan sangat ketara dalam masa yang singkat. Oleh itu, cryptocurrency bukanlah simpanan yang sesuai untuk dana kecemasan atau wang yang diperlukan bagi perbelanjaan harian. Bank Negara Malaysia turut menekankan bahawa penilaian cryptoasset sangat tidak menentu.
Risiko cryptocurrency
| Risiko | Penerangan mudah |
|---|---|
| Turun naik harga | Nilai boleh naik atau jatuh dengan mendadak |
| Penipuan | Terdapat platform palsu dan skim pelaburan tidak sah |
| Kehilangan akses | Pengguna mungkin kehilangan aset jika kata laluan atau akses dompet digital hilang |
| Kurang perlindungan | Pelaburan melalui entiti tidak berdaftar mungkin tidak dilindungi oleh undang-undang sekuriti Malaysia |
| FOMO | Pengguna membeli secara terburu-buru kerana takut terlepas peluang |
Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia mengingatkan orang ramai supaya berhati-hati terhadap janji “tidak akan rugi”, pulangan terlalu tinggi dan tawaran yang mendesak pengguna melabur dengan segera.
4. Perbezaan E-Pembayaran dan Cryptocurrency
| Aspek | E-Pembayaran | Cryptocurrency |
|---|---|---|
| Tujuan utama | Membayar barangan dan perkhidmatan | Aset digital yang boleh diperdagangkan |
| Nilai | Berdasarkan Ringgit Malaysia | Berubah mengikut permintaan pasaran |
| Risiko harga | Rendah | Tinggi dan tidak menentu |
| Penggunaan harian | Lazim digunakan | Tidak diterima secara meluas sebagai bayaran |
| Status di Malaysia | Kaedah pembayaran elektronik | Bukan mata wang sah |
| Pengawal selia berkaitan | Institusi kewangan dan rangka kerja pembayaran | Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia bagi aktiviti perdagangan aset digital tertentu |
5. Panduan Sebelum Melabur dalam Cryptocurrency
Gunakan wang lebihan sahaja dan jangan menggunakan duit pinjaman, dana kecemasan atau wang untuk membayar komitmen bulanan. Fahami produk sebelum melabur dan jangan membuat keputusan hanya berdasarkan promosi media sosial atau saranan pempengaruh.
Semak terlebih dahulu sama ada platform atau entiti tersebut dibenarkan oleh Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia. Portal Investment Checker membolehkan pengguna menyemak sama ada individu atau entiti berkenaan berlesen atau berdaftar untuk menawarkan produk dan perkhidmatan pasaran modal di Malaysia.
6. Kesimpulan
FINTECH memberi banyak manfaat jika digunakan secara bijak. E-pembayaran boleh membantu memudahkan urusan harian dan merekod perbelanjaan. Cryptocurrency pula perlu difahami sebagai aset digital berisiko tinggi, bukannya jalan mudah untuk memperoleh keuntungan segera.
Prinsip utama yang perlu diamalkan ialah:
Semak dahulu, fahami risikonya dan gunakan wang mengikut kemampuan.
