Answer:

A) True

Step-by-step explanation:

The internal control structure deals with the rules, laws, procedures, practices that vary from company to company that are necessary to attain an organization's goals and objectives.

The substantive testing is an audit process aimed at checking the accuracy and reliability of the financial statements. To check if the financial statements are free from any errors, mistakes, fraud, etc. that can change users' decisions.

The financial statements should be relevant, reliable and finalize in all respects.

Therefore, a strong internal system will reduce the quantity of substantive testing required.
