Of the responses provided, vouching a sample of cash disbursements recorded just after year-end to receiving reports and vendor invoices would most likely be performed by an auditor searching for unrecorded liabilities. This procedure would assure the auditor that the cash disbursements were not for liabilities which should have been recorded in the prior year.
