    If independence is not required for nonattest services, what is meant by the following statement:

    If CPA performs more than one nonattest function, they must be evaluated as a whole to see if independence is impaired”.

    I do NOT understand this.

    I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

    The client should give the auditor all relevant information if needed if that information is not presented then you have a scope of limitation if you have scope limitation that means your opinion may vary

    @KGREEN That's kind of vague. My best guess is it's talking about maintaining independence in order to perform attest services. There's a limit how much you can do and still be independent.

    Testlets are broken up in the sims section (2 questions, 3 questions, 3 questions) I got questions that have, in my opinion, absolutely no business being in the AUD section. I didn't have any questions regarding the ratios…which is good because I skipped those for the most part in studying. I wouldn't change my study method because I feel I was completely ready for the exam. The MCs were almost common sense after studying the way I did.

    @alphAccountant

    The structure of the Audit section according to Becker regrading sims is ( 2,4,3 ) not 2,3,3, so are you sure you only got 8 sims?

    I can assure you, the structure I got was 2,3,3 Becker must have gotten some bad info there or the testing format hasn't been perfected yet.

    I am pretty sure they announced just a couple days before the new test that they weren't going to test as many SIMs as they originally planned, so that makes sense….

    @KGREEN37 “Although the performance of many of these services will not individually impair independence, the CPA must consider the cumulative affect of all non-attest services that are performed for the attest client to make certain that they do not increase the self-review threat or the management participation threat to an unacceptable level”.

    Audit in 3 days!

    Do you all actually read and understand each assertion for each account balance/transaction/disclosure? Or just knowing the assertions for each is sufficient!

    Please help!

    Also, can people share their experiences of the new exam, obviously without disclosing the exact content.

    Thank you!

    PS: We need to bring this audit group alive

    Also when do you increase audit risk, decrease audit risk and have no effect, can I get a breakdown of this also. It will be very helpful.
