    @scared_cpa. I'm pretty sure under PCAOB standards they use the old three paragraph model. The PCAOB adopted the AICPA standards on an interim basis and will modify them as they see fit for public companies.

    Currently done ~3700 McQ's on Ninja. For every question, I'm trying to not only say in my head why the answer is right, but why the other answers are wrong. Hopefully this ties everything together and I'm not just remembering the answers. Right now I'm just going over my old Rogers book and skimming through the chapters. Tomorrow I plan on blasting Sims all day until my test on Tues.

    @kennethkang Thanks!

    @cessnapilot30 So issuers use the old audit report guidelines while nonissuers use the clarified standards?

    From the Becker textbook paraphrased:

    Yes, it is used by issuers(public) companies that are NOT required to have an integrated audit (essentially the extra report on Internal control)

    Ok so, the simulations are brutal. 2, 3, 3 for the three testlets. The MCs were pretty standard from what I reviewed on Becker but the sims left me feeling a bit uneasy at the end. Good luck all!

    @alphAccountant Shit man. god damn sims. what do you mean by “2, 3, 3”? Were there any sims that you flat out did not know how to do and had to totally guess on?

    @alphAccountant Also, if you could do anything different in your studies, what would it have been?

    Hi!

    So, how well do I need to know the financial ratios? Like should I just be familiar with them or is it worth my time to memorize the actual formulas?

    I would say know the basics. Most importantly know, how adjustments affect them…I am going to do a light review of the major ones tonight before the test tomorrow….

    First step in planning the engagement in order to plan one you have to accept the engagement, whether or not the preconditions of the audit have been met. There are two keys point in making this considerations
    1. Determine the acceptability of the applicable financial reporting framework being applied.
    2. Obtaining management agreement that it understands and accepts certain responsibility

    DIM design, implementation, maintain and all this has to be free from material misstatement

    So practically you have to be a clean SPY to look at other entities financial statements. both for public and not public for the most part PCAOB and ASB for non public they both are the same and have the same standards. Also you have to be independent in order look at the certain aspects of the financial statement if you are not independent then you have to write it down that you are not independent before the opinion

    I hope i am right lol i just wrote down my thoughts thinking as blank sheet of paper so if i am wrong please correct me thank you as i begin this journey for audit first exam good luck to all the troopers and soldiers out there Also i know i am all over the place eehhhh what can i say sorry

    just started my AUD studies plan on sitting in MAY leggo

    What is a scope limitation?

    A scope limiation pertains to not being able to gather sufficient, appropriate audit evidence.

    Could be management imposed or just due to the circumsstances.

    Say the audit firm is hired after year end, then they were not able to verify beginning account balances..scope limitation.

    If management refuses to let the auditor count inventory or review certain documents…scope limitation..

    Anything that prevents the auditor from getting all the evidence needed to satisfy a recorded FS amount is a scope limitation.
