Great questions @DoOver. In this case a Written agreement would be required, most like any type of engagement so everyone knows what is expected of them. The word “oral” makes B incorrect.

Why does it say that for compilations the accountant should check for independence?

FAR - 78*
AUD - 66, 79
REG - 73, 76
BEC - 79

[okcpa2015]

@ahugemistake, because if the accountant is not independent regarding a compilation they must state that in the compilation report. Also, the are NOT required to list the reasons why they are not independent.

Not sure if this one has been posted already:

When communicating internal control related matters noted in an audit, an auditor's report issued on significant deficiencies should indicate that:

A. misstatements may occur and not be detected because there are inherent limitations in any internal control.

B. the issuance of an unmodified opinion on the financial statements may be dependent on corrective follow-up action.

C. the deficiencies noted were not detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their

assigned functions.

D. the purpose of the audit was to report on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on internal control

CPA Title in 2015:Non of the answers describe a significant deficiency so I think it is D – an auditor disclaims the responsibility to provide an opinion on IC.

Is your test Friday? If so GOOD LUCK to both of us!

The answer is D — you are both right

Yes, my exam is on Friday. Good luck to you as well. I'm not going to have time to review the sims like I wanted to. I did all the ninja sims once, but I wanted to go through them a second time.
