So, after not passing with Becker on AUD I have diverted to Wiley. A question came up and it was to the extent.. Which service may a covered member still provide for an audit client. The answer was bookkeeping. Becker taught me otherwise. Any explanations?

I THINK bookkeeping is alright when the company is a nonissuer.

PCAOB does not allow it.

This is an odd answer, I would have probably gotten it incorrect if I was asked it. I have been an auditor for 12 years (External Nonprofit and government auditor) and we tell our clients that we can't provide them with bookkeeping services because it impairs our independence and we would them be auditing our own work.

Reading some of the above links I think the theory behind it is you can still provide the bookkeeping services provided that you do not exercise any management decisions in regard to the services you perform. Management tells you what to do, and approves all of the adjustments etc.

I suppose it can be done in the non-PCOAB sector, but it is not commonly practiced.

I think you misunderstood what Becker was teaching. I remember that question from the passmaster and the correct answer was bookkeeping for a non-public audit.
