Thanks for the “Chin Up” feedback Erin it is genuinely appreciated.
However, just glancing at the page I'm reading right now I can create a question I can almost guarantee would turn up on the BEC exam merely because of how “tricky” it is even for those with notes out and books open in front of them.
Here we go, I just made this one up directly from the text:
According to the COSO framework of internal control, providing employees with an understanding of their roles and responsibilities is:
a.) an example of the Assignment of Authority and Responsibility factor within the Control Environment
b.) an example of the Human Resources policies and procedures within the Control Environment
c.) an example of policies and procedures within the Control Activities component of COSO internal control framework
d.) an example of proper communication within the Information component of the COSO internal control framework
What is the usefulness of questions like this?
How would knowing the answer to this ever be used in the workplace?
Just because someone can sit around creating trick questions, does answering the questions necessarily make any one of any more knowledgeable on the subject? Does it mean the question maker knows any more than the person answering said question? I think not.
I'm going to leave this open for a few hours for folks to guess the correct answer.
Oh, and no cheating now! You wouldn't have a book or a note for use during the exam.
