    Just took a practice exam and crushed it. That was just the motivation I needed to push me through this last week of AUD studying. I missed a lot of my GAGAS questions so I still have to put a lot of time in on that. It just won't stick.

    Good Luck to everyone preparing to test this upcoming week.

    AUD - 94 - 7/25/14

    Just got to A4, and got strangely freaked out by seeing someone other than Gearty or Olinto…

    Took the exam this afternoon – left relatively confident, then started to look up stuff I questioned..not good. Sims seemed manageable.. We'll see how it goes.. Good luck everyone..

    When financial statements contain a departure from GAAP because, due to unusual circumstances, the statements would otherwise be misleading, the auditor should explain the unusual circumstances in a separate paragraph and express an opinion that is

    A. Unqualified.

    When strict adherence to GAAP would result in misleading financial statements, the auditor may issue an unqualified (unmodified) opinion accompanied by an explanatory paragraph describing the GAAP departure.

    B. Qualified.

    C. Adverse.

    D. Qualified or adverse, depending on materiality

    is this answer correct? A. i thought the answer is D

    BEC Passed
    FAR Passed
    AUD Passed
    REG Passed

    Willpass – no, the answer is A. If following GAAP causes financials to be misleading, a departure from GAAP is justified.

    When we are looking at auditing presentation and disclosures, can anyone tell me why the occurrence assumption is lumped in with rights and obligations?

    Passed - 2014

    I think that rights, obligations and occurrence are interrelated because your are testing to see if the disclosure of events have occurred but also they are the with ownership of the entity.

    I have another question:

    Which of the following procedures would be most effective in reducing attestation risk?

    a. Inquiries of senior management.

    b. Analytical procedures.

    c. Discussion with responsible individuals.

    d. Examination of evidence.

    Arent B and D pretty much interrelated? Arent analytical procedures a form of examination of evidence?

    FAR- PASSED (11/13)
    REG- PASSED (2/14)
    BEC- PASSED (5/14)
    AUD- PASSED (8/14)

    If it's important to you, you will find a way. If it isn't, you will find an excuse.

    @mjp44

    I think this is the best way to explain the difference:

    Using dollar values as an example, analytical procedures are comparing two sets of information, such as this years interest expense and prior year interest expense (remember, substantive procedures are best used on predictible accounts, like the income statement)…

    Examination of evidence is after doing audit procedures, like tracing interest expense payments back to broker or bank statements, examining that evidence you obtained to make sure the accounts are reasonable. Examination of evidence doesn't have to be connected with analytics

    Hope this helps!

    AUD - July 2014 - 76
    REG - August 2014 - 82
    FAR - November 2014 - 78
    BEC - January 2015 - 81

    DONE!!!!

It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

    NYCaccountant, going by your posts here, I think you'll be just fine. I had that same feeling of guessing, so I know how freaky that can be. Let's wait for August 1.
