Which of the various management assertions the test most directly addresses. (If you believe the test equally addresses more than one assertion, say why. Don’t list four or five assertions – I’ll assume you can’t tell which is which…..)
How does this test address that assertion?

(You need to address BOTH procedures for a full answer)
