Solution

The best evidence regarding the completeness of recorded accounts receivable can be obtained by tracing a sample of recorded sales to shipping documents. This method ensures that all sales that have been recorded have corresponding shipping documents, indicating that the goods or services have been delivered. This is a direct check on the completeness assertion because if a sale has been recorded, there should be a corresponding shipping document. If there isn't, it may indicate that the accounts receivable are not complete. Therefore, the correct answer is d. trace a sample of recorded sales to shipping documents.
