    97 is A (I chose C)

    This answer is correct because the measure of the validity of evidence for audit purposes is based upon the judgment of the auditor. This audit judgment is used to estimate levels of materiality, and relative risk.

    96 B

    This answer is correct because identifying reasonable explanations for unexpected differences before talking to client management will help the auditor to consider why the differences might have occurred and the reasonableness of management’s replies.

    Where are these questions from? If it's from a provider – you can't post a ton of questions (like in a countdown) – they're copyrighted by the AICPA & the provider.

    I post my questions off Ninja MCQ and WTB.

    95 A

    94 A

    93 B

    93 is tough but in a small business you will have employees involved in more than one duty of ARCCs.

    I think you're good Iggy, not like you post 20 questions at a time. Posting a few are okay I believe.

    yeah that was right, I had no idea about 94, think I need to read up on service auditor stuff. and 93 I thought it would be A but it said no because it's a small company and they may not segregate duties?

    Hey guys, I just started working through the Ninja MCQ for auditing and I've struggling with one of the questions. This is my first exam and I am losing a bit of confidence in the way the questions are worded. The question in question is shown below.

    Field, CPA, is auditing the financial statements of Miller Mailorder, Inc., (MMI) for the year ended January 31, 20X1. Field has compiled a list of possible errors and fraud that may result in the misstatement of MMI's financial statements, and a corresponding list of internal controls that, if properly designed and implemented, could assist MMI in preventing or detecting the errors and fraud. Select the internal control that most likely could assist MMI in preventing or detecting the misappropriation of a customer's check.

    A. Monthly statements are mailed to all customers with outstanding balances.

    B. Remittance advices are separated from the checks in the mailroom and forwarded to the accounting department.

    C. Total amounts posted to the accounts receivable ledger from remittance advices are compared with the validated bank deposit slips.

    D. An employee other than the bookkeeper periodically prepares a bank reconciliation.

    My initial answer was B, because if the checks were misappropriated then a reconciliation between A/R with remittance advices and bank deposit slips will show. But the answer is actually A. The facts of the question states that the checks may be misappropriated. Am I suppose to assume 1) that only the checks are misappropriated or 2) that the checks & the remittance advices are to be misappropriated? Am I suppose to assume from the question that the entire contents of payment including remittance advice were stolen if it is not specified? If so, shouldn't the question state that?

    I've worked in tax for over 5 years and I've always been told to be as specific as possible, however this question leaves two possible answers because it is vague. Are the questions on the exam going to be this vague? Please help.
