Answer 1

*** I only need to acquisition and payment*** : So the answer is.

For Acquisition :

Audit Procedures:

The internal auditors' role in bank mergers and acquisitions usually is associated with the due-diligence process. Auditors can provide senior management with vital information about the value of the company being acquired, its financial condition, any weaknesses in its financing or internal controls as well as its history, customer base, property conditions and management practices

For Payments:

Audit Procedures

The auditor examines payments to vendors following year end and then reviews any open Accounts payables files.

The auditor reviews a report of all accounts payable items that were not matched by the automated matching system, but had been paid upon authorization of the accounts payable department. A sample of selected items is taken and traced to the vendor payment and supporting documentation.
