Meaning of test of controls

Tests of control are the procedures that the auditor undertakes to test the effectiveness of the internal controls in a client company.

Purpose of tests of control:

The purpose of performing tests of control is for the auditor to obtain evidence on the effectiveness or lack thereof of the internal controls.
