Design FIVE (5) substantive procedures for the transactions and balances discussed in question (3) and justify why you select these substantive procedures for BOTH of the following scenarios:

1. Your proposed tests of controls in question (3) PASSED.
2. Your proposed tests of controls in question (3) FAILED.
