recognition and measurement
Explanation:
I don't think it's strictly necessary to add "audit" here because these activities are part of the overall audit, though if you want to write it out in full, I'd suggest "verification of asset recognition and measurement". The term crops up in e.g. the German auditing standard IDW PS 300 "Prüfungsnachweise im Rahmen der Abschlußprüfung".

The "Ansatz" bit refers to whether assets have been properly identified and recognized as assets, what's often referred to in German as "Bilanzierung dem Grunde nach". "Bewertung" refers to whether these assets have then been properly measured, i.e. carried in the accounts at the correct amounts ("Bilanzierung der Höhe nach").
