Audit Referencing Help

I am not an accountant, which is why I hope this questions doesn't make look like too big a knickle head, rather I am an IS auditor and relatively new at that (1 year experience in a mixed environment conducting SAS 70 audits and general consulting engagements)...

I need some clarification on referencing Work Papers. I have my Summary work paper, then either PBC documentation and/or supporting work paper (usually as a result of a sample selection) based upon PBC documentation and I am thoroughly flippin confused at this point as to how in the heck I reference this properly. How I have it now is as follows:

Work Paper W/O a Sample:

Summary = xyz-wp-01 PBC Documentation = xyz-wp-01.1, 01.2, 01.3, etc... (W/appropriate tick marks)

Work Paper W/Sample:

Summary = xyz-wp-01 Supporting WP = xyz-wp-01.1 PBC Doc. (Sample was selected from this doc.)= xyz-wp-01.1-1 Individual Sample Selections = xyz-wp-01.1-1a

Am I doing this right???? At some level it makes sense and at another I don't feel as though I am remembering this properly...

HELP.

If you are internal audit, ask your manager. If you are attest, ask your managing partner. Companies and firms have slightly differing standards and there is no universal numbering standard.
