Question
Objective of auditors is to show that [blank_start]financial statements[blank_end] show [blank_start]true[blank_end] & [blank_start]fair[blank_end] view (without [blank_start]material misstatement[blank_end] & not going to [blank_start]mislead[blank_end] users). To come to this view, auditor is required to look in two directions which are [blank_start]primarily backwards[blank_end] as information is [blank_start]historical[blank_end] but [blank_start]forwards[blank_end] to confirm that company is [blank_start]going concern[blank_end]
Answer

  • true
  • fair
  • material misstatement
  • mislead
  • primarily backwards

Question 17

Question

  • human error
  • limitations

Question 20

Question
Fourth limitation of audit is evidence is [blank_start]persuasive[blank_end] not [blank_start]conclusive[blank_end]. Opinion is based on audit [blank_start]evidence[blank_end] gathered. [blank_start]Evidence[blank_end] involves [blank_start]estimates[blank_end] & [blank_start]judgements[blank_end] & therefore does not give definite [blank_start]conclusion[blank_end]

[blank_start]Financial information[blank_end] can be quite different to current position. In [blank_start]current[blank_end] marketplace where companies’ financial positions can change quite quickly, [blank_start]audit opinion[blank_end] may no longer be relevant as it is [blank_start]out of date[blank_end]
Answer
  • historic information
  • after
  • Financial information
  • current
  • audit opinion

Question 26

Question
In business risk approach to audit, auditor understands [blank_start]risks[blank_end] to [blank_start]business[blank_end]. By identifying those [blank_start]business risks[blank_end] it allows them to direct efforts towards [blank_start]risk areas[blank_end] from an operational perspective.

Answer
  • risks

Question 27

Question
One type of audit risk is [blank_start]inherent risk[blank_end]. This is within business.

In relation to this risk, once [blank_start]engagement[blank_end] is accepted, it cannot be [blank_start]controlled[blank_end]. Examples include failure of [blank_start]design[blank_end] (there isn’t one or it doesn’t do what was intended) & failure of [blank_start]operation[blank_end] ([blank_start]control[blank_end] has not operated or not operated as intended)
Answer

  • material misstatement
  • fail
  • engagement
  • controlled
  • design

Question 29

Question

It depends on [blank_start]design[blank_end] of audit procedure & [blank_start]application[blank_end] of an audit procedure. This risk can be [blank_start]controlled[blank_end] by auditors
