    AUD - 56, 59, 2/23/15 3rd times a charm!
    BEC - 69, 74 Really??
    REG - April, I hope. Fingers crossed!

    For close family members independence is only impaired if they hold a key position with the client or have a material financial interest. What percentage qualifies as material interest?

    @Cpahopeful – I don't see a percentage of material financial interest in the Gleim book. You can not have direct material/immaterial interest or indirect material interest. I think it is just saying no material interest regardless of amount.

    AUD - 56, 59, 2/23/15 3rd times a charm!

    Thanks, I was curious if 5% or 10% is considered a material amount but I guess any interest is material.

    For Immediate family members in determining materiality of financial interest , a covered member interest must be combined with that of their Immediate family members. So what applies as materiality to CM + IFM is their materiality. You dont need to know %. Exam will test only the concepts

    BEC Passed
    FAR Passed
    AUD Passed
    REG Passed

    The 5% comes into play when the firm partner or an employee owns 5% or more of a client, that is impaired independence.

    FAR - 46, 79 (7/8/14)
    AUD - 56, 59, 2/23/15 3rd times a charm!

    Retaking AUD for the 2nd time around mid October. I received a 69 on Monday after studying 15 or so days so I figured a month might be adequate time to raise 6 points. Hopefully….any suggestions on how to tackle my restudying with Becker?

    Thanks!

    could anyone plz explain this for me ??

    An accountant can prepare a working trial balance and prepare standard monthly journal entries without being required to issue a compilation or review report under the SSARS as long as the performance of these services does not carry forward into the submission of financial statements.

    AUD: 81 (Done)
    REG: Currently studying
    FAR: TBD
    BEC: TBD

    Hello everyone, I am joining this study group. Just started studying audit and am planning on taking the test at the end of November, I hope I'll have enough time to prepare. Otherwise will take it in January

    Oh, you will have more than enough time to prepare. If you got that score in FAR, you could probably pass Audit in four or so weeks easily. Good luck!

    Relevant Assertion vs. Management Assertions

    So according to AU-C315.A112 – Risk of Material Misstatements at the relevant assertion level for classes of account balances, transactions and disclosures need to be considered to determine the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. RMM also needs to be looked at the financial statement level (more macro and control/fraud oriented).

    Do you just ‘forget' about the assertions at the relevant level after you've figured out the nature, timing, and extent of procedures if you obtain enough evidence? When do management assertions come into play as far as audit procedures?

    The tests for the relevant assertions (R) are not the same as those tests for managements assertions (M).

    For tests of assertions on Transactions, both R and M are the same.

    For tests of assertions on Account Balances however, M has a ‘presentation and disclosure'.

    For tests of assertions on Disclosures, R has ‘rights and obligation' and ‘valuation'.

    Mnemonics aren't helpful for me. Am I missing anything w/r/t the content of the assertions?

    If management was present for one year but a comparative report is presented, do you need a management letter for both years, or only one year?

    Are flowcharts super important for AUD? Like..will I need to be able to fill one out? I can read them, but filling from scratch is difficult.
