organizations with credit, banking and development support funds; financial institutions and insurance business enterprises; joint stock companies have prices on the stock market, large-scale state-owned enterprises By the time of December 31, 2018, Vietnam had 141 auditing enterprises granted certificates by the Ministry of Finance, that are eligible for auditing services business including some companies with 100% foreign capital (Big4, Grant Thornton, or HSK), 135 limited liability companies with or more members, 01 company partnerships (CPA Vietnam), 43 auditing enterprises accepted by the State Securities Commission to be qualified to audit for issuing, listing organizations and securities business organizations in 2018 and 39 enterprises audited registration and accepted by the Ministry of Finance to perform audits for other public interest units As of December 31, 2018, out of 3112 auditors’ grantees, 1520 auditors were granted the CCC by the Ministry of Finance The society is growing and the needs of customers are more diversified, the services provided by auditing are also diversified according to the value of the financial statements of enterprises, accounting and financial advice, taxes, accounting services, operational audits, accounting and auditing training activities In which, auditing Financial Statements is the main service Today, the financial statements of an enterprise not only serve the management, the internal objects but also many parties use it Because that odd, those who use Financial Statements need to have confidence in the financial reports that help them have a better view of the financial situation of the business to make economic decisions Therefore, there should be solutions to reduce risks One measure that is considered most effective is that mandatory financial statements must be audited by independent auditors The financial report is a brief, rigorous simulation that reflects the most comprehensive information on the financial situation of a business, including many large and small items: equity, liabilities, and fixed assets, inventory, receivables In which, the accounts receivable from customers is an important item and affects the key indicators on the Financial Statements Therefore, auditing accounts receivable is an important step in the auditing process of financial statements to help auditors complete auditing for financial statements Recognizing the importance of auditing accounts receivable in the auditing process of financial statements, I decided to study the topic "Completing the audit process of accounts receivable in auditing financial statements conducted by Thang Long Auditing and Valuation Company Limited -TDK” The object of the study is the general process of checking accounts receivable in the auditing process of financial statements at Thang Long Auditing and Auditing Company Limited and the process of auditing accounts receivable at ABC Joint stock company implemented by T.D.K The thesis only focuses on studying the status of accounts receivable auditing process in auditing the Financial Statements at Thang Long Auditing and Valuation Company Limited in 2018, specifically: Range of time : + Data used for research from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 + Research period from January 15, 2019 to May 25, 2019 Range of space: Thang Long Auditing and Valuation Company Limited and ABC company Range of content: The thesis does not study the entire auditing process of financial statements but only focuses on the process of auditing accounts receivable in the financial statements audit process at the client company Methods of data collection: In order to implement the topic, I have consulted the laws on accounting, auditing, the standard system, the sample audit records, the circular decrees to serve as basis for the establishment as well as practical research at the unit Thereby studying the auditing records of previous years at the company, interviewing the arising problems, directly participating in the audit process at the client companies as a auditors assistant to experience and capture the process of checking accounts receivable;
