walkthroughs

English to Arabic Tech/Engineering Business/Commerce (general) Controls validation and testing (for a company)
Testing procedures are structured to provide the most robust audit evidence for the least effort to satisfy the test objective. This may vary in extent from observation and inquiry and process walkthroughs through to detailed controls validation and testing.

I searched for walkthroughs. what i found is "rehearsal" is this meaning correct in this context or what?

Thank you Alaa for your detailed explanation. what you said is totally correct but still i can't find a suitable translation to grade. I mean no Arabic wording fits in this context.
Alaa Zeineldine Aug 30, 2005:
... and see how this will work and where things will go wrong. This brings out bugs or design errors before a product goes live, and is less costly than live testing. Ahmad Hassabala has captured the meaning for software, but it depends on the context-HTH
Alaa Zeineldine Aug 30, 2005:
... the concept in general, is for people to sit down and walk through the design, code, company pocedures, traffic planning, etc. and say let us pretend we are the program, the company organization, the street traffic, etc. - more ...
Alaa Zeineldine Aug 30, 2005:
... for before actual implementation and testing, e.g. design walkthroughs are done to validate the design before writing the program, code walkthroughs are done after parts of the program are written but before it they are put together and tested -more .
Alaa Zeineldine Aug 30, 2005:
... it will always be related to testing/quality assurance/validation/auditing. The term is not used for describing normal work-flow (���� �� ��� �����). Walkthroughs are used different phases of the software development life-cycle more ...
Alaa Zeineldine Aug 30, 2005:
I meant what is being tested, is software, network system, company procedure, etc.? It seems from your context that it is company procedures/operations. While different answers will depend on the subject area more ...

During an audit process, auditors collect information, make observations and meet with people concerned. This is called (walkthroughs)

reason for closing the question Although there are different transitions of the word yet a different translation more suits the context which is "���� �����"

Sorry alaa i didn't c your note except after closing the question.
testing procedures are ������ ��������
Alaa Zeineldine Aug 23, 2005:
What is being tested/validated? As you see from the answers, the word has different meanings depending on the object under test.

"Process walkthroughs" simply means that you start tracing the program line by line (structural programming) or method by method (in object-oriented programming) in order to make sure that it works ideally or find any potential bug to fix.

الفحص الشامل للمعاملات المالية

تدقيق واختبار وتقييم المعاملات المالية وعناصر التحكم فيها

Walkthroughs - The most effective means for an auditor to confirm his understanding how internal control over financial reporting is designed and operates to evaluate and test its effectiveness. It includes making inquiries of and observing the personnel who actually perform the controls; reviewing documents that are used in, and that result from, the application of the controls; and comparing supporting documentation to the accounting records. In a walkthrough, the auditor traces a transaction from origination through the company's information systems to the point where it is reflected in the company's financial reports.
Walkthroughs provide the auditor with evidence to:
1. Confirm the auditor's understanding of the process flow of transactions.
2. Confirm the auditor's understanding of the design of controls identified for all five components of internal control over financial reporting, including those related to the prevention or detection of fraud.
3. Confirm that the auditor's understanding of the process is complete by determining whether all points in the process at which misstatements related to each relevant financial statement assertion that could occur have been identified.
4. Evaluate the effectiveness of the design of controls.
5. Confirm whether controls have been placed in operation.

One of the first lessons to be learnt is the importance of the ‘process walkthroughs’ when confirming key financial reporting controls. When taking a financial statement account view of Section 404, in the identification of significant accounts, it is quite easy for the process flow to be lost or ignored. If the key controls around the preparation of financials are identified in isolation of the business process that results in those account balances, it is quite possible to get lost in the minutiae. For example, when reviewing inventory as a financial statement line item, one might consider that key controls include daily cycle counts, annual physical stock counts and reconciliation of the inventory accounts to the general ledger from the inventory management system. This approach may ignore critical controls such as authorisation of purchase orders to ensure transactions are valid and timeliness of goods receiving to ensure they are recorded in the correct period.

A process walkthrough approach enables a company not only to ensure they capture all key controls but also to minimise duplication and inefficiency. In the example above, it is just as likely that a team focusing on purchasing processes or accounts payable processes may duplicate effort or design inefficient tests of controls around purchase order approval processes and goods receipting that have already been captured and addressed in the inventory controls testing
A process walkthrough approach enables a company not only to ensure they capture etc

The context is the quality assurance of testing procedures. According to ISO 9001 QMS standard, walkthroughs are a QA procedure meaning field close inspection of process. I worked in this field for 10 years. I accompanied QA auditors in their periodic audits (every 6 months) according to ISO 9001 registration of Quality Management Systems. Alaa precisely explained the procedure in programming
