    I have just finished the ch1 of becker lectures and started doing MCQ….confused about this answer…please someone explain…

    Under US Auditing standards, under which of the following situations would an auditor issue an unmodified opinion without and emphasis of matter para?

    A. The auditor decides to make reference to the audit of a component as a basis, in part, for audit opinion.

    B. The auditor wishes to emphasize that the entity had significant related party transactions.

    C. The entity issues financial stmts that presents financial position and results of operation, but omits cash flow stmt.

    D. The auditor has substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as going concern, but the circumstances are fully disclosed in the financial stmts.

    I thought the answer was D. but it says answer is A.

    FAR 72,71,81 🙂
    AUD 64,71, 72, 75 🙂 I'm done !!!
    REG 73, 74, 74, 84 🙂

    Hi Audit peeps.

    Just walked out of my first CPA exam ever – regulation AKA the devil. Extremely difficult test and I'm sure I'll be joining the reg study group again after I find out my score. In the meantime, it's on to audit. My exam is scheduled for August 26 since my NTS expires on August 27th. Figured I'd try to see if I can pass audit in a month. Yikes.

    A. Making reference to the audit of a component auditor is a division of responsibility that is stated or described in the scope paragraph or presently called as Auditor’s responsibility paragraph, without an EOM paragraph. It is referred to in the opinion paragraph (which is considered an “UNMODIFIED OPINION”) which states: “In our opinion, based on our audit AND THE REPORT OF THE OTHER AUDITORS, the consolidated FS referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the FP of ABC Co….”

    B. It is incorrect because significant RPTs may be presented by CPA in the EOM paragraph.

    C. When CF statements are omitted, CPA should issue a qualified opinion.

    D. This category falls under the requirement when EOM should follow the opinion paragraph.

    Please refer to indexes listed below on situations when EOMs are required or may be deemed necessary by the auditor.

    Index A: Use of EOM is required under 4: JGCS p. A1-23

    1) J – Justified change in accounting principles

    2) G – Going concern issues

    3) C – Change in audit opinion

    4) S – Special purpose FW [SPFW] (other than reg. basis FS intended for general use)

    Index B: Use of EOM may be necessary under 4: [CURSe] p.A1-24

    When referring to any matter that is appropriately presented or disclosed in the FS & is of such importance that it is fundamental to the users’ understanding of the FS:

    1) C – Catastrophe (major)

    2) U – Uncertainty (unusually important litigation or regulatory action)

    3) R – RPT (significant)

    4) S – Subsequent Events (unusually important)

    10) (e)

    I was thinking the same thing in the exam today.. I think in the MCQ there were 3 that i didn't know but i feel i made a good educated guess.

    Biggest worry for me is the SIM's I got the two research like you. Pretty sure one of them is a pretest. 2 SIM's i think were okay and 2 that i was 50/50. the Other two I felt were super hard.

    Oh well. its done and i am going to be moving on to REG

    FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !

    I'm doing SIM on becker right now, and it was a research question. It asked “while preparing the auditor's report, the audit assistant believes that the auditor's report can never reference the findings of a specialist. the audit manager disagrees. which citation in the professional standards supports the audit manager's position?”

    I put AU-C 620.15, but the answer says 620.14.

    there's no explanation to the research questions.. can someone explain why the correct answer is correct?

    I got the same result as Jesse when I practiced that question on Becker. I have the new version for 2013. I think its a flaw in the SIM test bank.

    FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !
