Sufficiency of evidence. Question 2 of 45 Select all of the following statements that are true. (There are multiple correct answers and you must select all statements that are true) It is true that the most difficult decisions about which opinion to issue are generally centered around decisions based on the materiality level and pervasiveness of GAAP violations, the significance of scope limitations, and the likelihood of the entity being a going concern. Internal auditors perform operational audits. External auditors are typically responsible for performing information systems and security audits. It is true that the auditor is only concerned about the aggregate internal control deficiencies when determining the appropriate opinion on internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). The primary client of the internal audit department is management and the audit committee of the Board of Directors. Question 3 of 45 If ______________________, the CPA would still be considered independent. The CPA would not be considered independent in any of these situations. A CPA's cousin works as a web-site designer at the audit client. A CPA's brother is the Vice-President of Sales at the CPA's audit client.

Jonathan graduates one year later and is hired as an auditor by Better Accountants, LLP. His first assigned audit engagement is with SVB, a client of Better Accountants. As a new audit assistant, Jonathan continues to pay his automobile loan payments each month. According to the AICPA, why is Jonathan considered a covered member for SVB independence purposes? He has a direct financial interest in SVB. He graduated in the same area as the client is operating. He will be working on the engagement. He has an immaterial direct financial interest in SVB. None of these answers are correct. Question 5 of 45 Which of the following is typically a purpose for performing analytical procedures at the end of an audit? None of these answers are correct. To ask "hard questions" about the company's results and its relationship to external factors. To provide the client with a value added service in conjunction with audit activities.

An integrated report An adverse report An unqualified report A peer review A qualified report Question 8 of 45 Select all of the following statements that are true. (There are multiple correct answers and you must select all that are true) Audits of Level 3 assets are the most straightforward as they involve an observable, active market. When assessing fair value of Level 1 assets, auditors will use information on the sale of identical items in active or inactive markets as a source of audit evidence. Violations of GAAP resulting in a qualified opinion affect the standard audit report through adding an explanatory paragraph before the opinion paragraph, and modifying the opinion paragraph to read "except for." Qualified opinions can only be issued by auditors when there are violations of GAAP or scope limitations. The volume of transactions affected is not one of the critical criteria in assessing identified internal control deficiencies. Question 9 of 45 Which of the following statements are true? (There are multiple correct answers) It is true that when the risk of material misstatement is increased, the auditor increases the extent of audit procedures and requires less evidence. It is true that the AICPA's fundamental principles and guidance for auditing standards can be divided into four sections: purpose of the audit, responsibility of the auditor, performance of the audit, and reporting of the results. It is true that all audit procedures must be completed before year end. It is true that the PCAOB is a public board, appointed by Congress, to provide oversight of the firms that audit public companies registered with the SEC.

It is true that walkthroughs and inquiries are often used to obtain an understanding of internal controls.

It is true that the audit report is modified to five paragraphs as a result of another audit firm performing part of the financial statement audit. Question 11 of 45 _________________ is an example of an internal risk for an organization. Changes in price of raw materials. Changes in internal information technology. Increases in substitute services or products. Changes in regulation that make the business model unsustainable. Changes in the reliability of source goods. Question 12 of 45 If _________________________, this would indicate that fraud is pervasive throughout the company under audit. The company's management negotiates deals with vendors in such a manner as to pay lower prices. All of these would indicate that fraud is pervasive. The company's management drives luxury vehicles and takes vacations to exotic places. The company's management estimates bad debts using an aged accounts receivables ledger rather than as a percent of sales. The company's management takes an overly aggressive approach to revenue recognition Question 13 of 45 Assume that the auditor concludes that there may be a going-concern problem. In that case, which of the following is not typically evaluated to determine the reasonableness of management's plans to overcome this problem? Management's assumption about increasing prices or market share in relationship to current industry developments. Management's past track record related to delaying unnecessary expenditures. Management's assumptions about cost savings related to a reduction in the work force should be recomputed and evaluated to determine any hidden costs. Management's assumptions about selling off assets and their relationship to current market prices. None of these answers are correct. Question 14 of 45 Which one of the following statements is true? Appropriateness deals with the quantity of evidence the auditor collects, whereas sufficiency deals with the quality of evidence the auditor collects. Liabilities and expenses are most often tested for overstatements. Underlying accounting records consist of evidence of controls as well as supporting records such as checks, invoices, the general and subsidiary ledger and journal entries. Even though all audits are different, they can all be approached in the same manner. The client's verbal evidence is more reliable than evidence from independent outside sources. Question 15 of 45 All of the following statements are false, except: Lapping of accounts receivable is least likely to occur when there is an inadequate segregation of duties. Audit procedures have to be announced or be completed at predictable times. An attitude of professional skepticism by the auditor is not needed when internal controls over revenue have been tested and found to be effective. A detection risk of 90% would suggest that an auditor must perform extensive substantive audit testing. The auditor's determination that day's sales in accounts receivable increased from 44 days to 100 days would usually be found through the use of ratio analysis. Question 16 of 45 Which of the following statements is false? When business risk is low, the auditor does not have a high concern about the ability of the organization to operate efficiently. An appropriate mix of evidence for a low risk client could include 20% tests of details, 40% analytics, and 40% tests of controls; an appropriate mix of evidence for a high risk client could include 60% tests of details, 20% analytics, and 20% tests of controls. The purpose of the auditor's consideration of the effectiveness of internal controls is to determine the nature, extent and timing of substantive testing. Touring a company's plant offers much insight into potential audit issues. A company that ships a large quantity of its products from its manufacturing plant to a warehouse that it leases until the customer is ready for the product should record the delivery as revenue. Question 17 of 45 Select all the statements from the following list which are true. (There are multiple answers and you should choose all that are correct) It is true that warranty reserves is a long-term liability account with a high risk of material misstatement. It is true that marketable securities is a long-term liability account with a high risk of material misstatement. In the introductory paragraph of the audit opinion, the auditor will describe the division of responsibility between the reporting company's management and the audit firm. If the auditor believes that there is a remote probability that resolution of an uncertainty will have a material effect on the financial statements, he should issue a standard unqualified audit opinion. In the FASB hierarchy of inputs to consider for assessing fair value, quoted prices on identical items is associated with Level 3. Question 18 of 45 The auditor will most likely issue which of the following audit reports if he decides to draw attention to large related party transactions occurring in the financial statements of the client? Qualified with an explanatory paragraph Unqualified with an explanatory paragraph Qualified Consolidation Adverse Question 19 of 45 Which of the following statements is true? The Center for Audit Quality has the primary authority to set auditing standards. Since the auditor is not responsible for the presentation of financial statements, he/she has no responsibility for fraud in the financial statements. The Center for Audit Quality was started by the International Federation of Accountants. A CFO intentionally overstating sales to boost profits is an example of fraudulent financial reporting. The treasurer's diversion of hundreds of thousands of dollars into a personal money market account is an example of fraudulent financial reporting. Question 20 of 45 An auditor uses an aged accounts receivable report to accomplish which of the following? To uncover lapping Assess the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Existence Accuracy Occurrence Completeness Rights Question 22 of 45 All of the following statements are true, except: A tendency for fraud may exist when the granting of stock options is dependent on reaching an earnings goal. A consistent pattern of earnings growth would eliminate the auditor's concern for fraud in revenue recognition. Ineffective internal controls result in higher risk of material misstatement in the financial statements than effective internal controls. A company's history of exactly meeting analyst estimates is a factor which could lead auditors to assess inherent risk at a higher level. The intentional loading of sales at the end of a period to customers that do not need the goods at that time should not be recorded as revenues. Question 23 of 45 Which of the following accounts is not a directly related account in the revenue cycle? Sales discounts Allowance for doubtful accounts Sales returns and allowances Accounts receivable Warranty expense Question 24 of 45 Please select all of the following statements that are false.

A price is discussed based upon the customer's resale of the product. The discount period has passed. Question 26 of 45 All of the following statements are true, except: It is true that when the client has a large number of relatively small accounts receivable and the assessed level of control risk for receivables and related revenue transactions is high, the auditor is more likely to use negative confirmations. It is true that audit evidence consists of both information that corroborates management's assertions and information that contradicts such assertions. It is true that when the risk of material misstatement is heightened, the auditor increases the extent of audit procedures and requires more evidence. It is true that inherent and control risks are risk controlled by the auditor. It is true that the auditor uses professional judgment to determine which audit procedures to perform.

Corporate governance is a process by which the owners, but not the creditors, exert control and require accountability for the resources entrusted to the organization. Obtaining evidence about internal controls is the phase of the audit opinion formulation process that is most commonly thought of as auditing by the general public. The AICPA has a peer review program that reviews and evaluates the portions of an audit firm's accounting and audit practice that are not inspected by the PCAOB.

During an audit, review activities that are completed towards the end of the audit are quite varied. It is true that, at the end of an audit, adjustments that are "waived" will remain uncorrected. Question 39 of 45 All of the following statements are true, except: The audit committee is a subcommittee of the board of directors comprised of independent outside directors. Auditing exists because users need unbiased information on which to assess management performance and make economic decisions. Any major disagreement the auditor has with management should be discussed with the audit committee. Bondholders are one of the users of financial statements.

It is true that a quality audit is one performed "in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) to provide reasonable assurance that the audited financial statements and related disclosures are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and (2) are not materially misstated whether due to errors or fraud." It is true that significant changes in the competitive market and a decrease in the competitiveness of the client's products are potential indicators of going-concern problems. It is true that management will often resist a going-concern modification because investors, lenders, and customers may lose faith in the business.
