1) the assertion

2) the type of procedure to perform. It must be relevant to the assertion to be ascertained.

3) the timing of the audit evidence to apply. The audit period for transaction, or the year end date for balance. Also, the time to perform the procedure such as cash count, stock take or internal control.
