# Test of Details

## **Overview**

The Test of Details module helps auditors validate sampled transactions against supporting evidence and predefined testing rules.

The process is divided into three stages:

1. Input
2. Source
3. Rules

Fins AI Brain then processes the data and generates validation results with direct evidence linkage for auditor review.

***

## **Step-by-Step: Test of Details**

***

## **1. Input**

The first step is selecting the transaction data to be tested.

Auditors can choose from multiple input methods:

#### **Populate from Sampling**

Automatically loads transactions selected during the sampling stage.

This is commonly used for sampled audit testing.

***

#### **New Dataset**

Upload a separate dataset for testing using the predefined template.

Useful when testing external extracts or additional populations.

***

#### **Manual Copy-Paste**

Auditors can directly paste tabular data into the testing grid.

This is useful for quick validations or smaller datasets.

***

### **Input Configuration**

Auditors can also:

* Select the data range
* Define the header row
* Review imported transaction data before validation

***

## **2. Source**

The next step is uploading or selecting supporting evidence documents.

#### **Supported evidence types**

Examples include:

* PDF
* Excel
* Word documents
* Images
* CSV files

***

### **Purpose of Source Documents**

These documents act as audit evidence used to validate:

* Invoice details
* Dates
* Vendor names
* Amounts
* PO numbers
* Supporting references

The uploaded evidence becomes the basis for automated verification.

***

## **3. Rules**

The Rules section defines how the validation should be performed.

Auditors can choose between:

***

### **Custom Setup**

Manually define:

* Fields to validate
* Data types
* Validation logic
* Extraction prompts

***

### **Template-Based Setup**

Use predefined templates for commonly used testing procedures.

This helps standardize testing across engagements.

***

## **Field Configuration**

For each column or field, auditors can define:

* Operation type
  * Verify
  * Retrieve
* Field type
  * Text
  * Date
  * Currency
  * Percentage
  * Boolean
* Rule logic
* AI extraction prompts

***

## **Running Validation**

Once configuration is complete:

* Click **Run Validation**
* Fins AI Brain processes:
  * Transaction data
  * Source documents
  * Validation rules

The system then generates testing results automatically.

***

## **Validation Output**

The output displays:

* Matched values
* Exceptions
* Differences
* Validation status
* Review indicators

Examples:

* Pass
* Needs Review
* Mismatch

This helps auditors quickly identify exceptions requiring attention.

***

## **Evidence Linking & Drill-Down**

One of the key capabilities of Test of Details is direct evidence linkage.

Auditors can:

* Click on any output cell
* Open the related source document instantly
* View the exact supporting evidence
* See the matched value highlighted within the document

This provides:

* Faster verification
* Better audit traceability
* Improved reviewer confidence
* Easier investigation of exceptions

***

## **Review & Confirmation**

After reviewing the results:

* Auditors can investigate exceptions
* Add notes or observations
* Review linked evidence
* Confirm the testing output

The finalized results then become part of the engagement workpapers.

***

## **How Test of Details Supports the Audit**

The module helps auditors:

* Validate sampled transactions efficiently
* Reduce manual verification effort
* Improve consistency in testing
* Maintain strong evidence linkage
* Increase confidence in audit conclusions

It converts transaction testing into a structured, evidence-backed workflow.
