When the co. is following straight line method; then WDV will be NIL after cost is fully consumed by charging depreciation.
It does not mean that physical existence should not be checked.
For example; 10% straight line depreciation is being charged on factory building or furniture; than after ten years; w.d.v. will be NIL but existence of assets is there.
You have to check the physical existence. Regarding valuation; no comment are required to be made.
In your internal audit records; you should have working papers that you have verified these assets.
