Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Confirmation of cash should only be performed as of the balance statement date because the auditor expresses an opinion as of that date.

Explanation:

Confirmation of cash is an audit procedure in which specialists request the company to get in touch with its banker to verify the organization's balance. The procedure is not based only on the balance statement but according to the transactions the company has carried out regardless of the date.
