The responsible party is the one responsible for issuing the subject matter information and not the practitioner. “Assurance engagement” means an engagement in which a practitioner expresses a conclusion designed to enhance the degree of confidence of the intended users other than the responsible party about the outcome of the evaluation or measurement of a subject matter against criteria. 2. A. The objective of the auditor is to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to report on the financial statements. 3. B. Information risk is the risk that the user makes an incorrect decision based on inaccurate information. Client acceptance risk is the risk that the auditor will associate itself with a company whose management lacks integrity. Business risk is the risk that the organization will not achieve its objectives. Control risk is the risk that the controls will not be able to prevent, detect or correct the material misstatements on a timely manner. 4. B. ESG is an emerging concept in reporting, particularly on sustainability practices of organizations. It stands for Environmental, Social and Governance practices of organizations. 5. D. Reasonable assurance is high but not absolute level of assurance. Answer (a) is incorrect, absolute assurance is unattainable in practice since there are limitations in audit. Answer (b) is incorrect since reasonable assurance is the correct term. Answer (c) is incorrect, negative assurance is less than reasonable assurance. 6. D. The requirement is to identify the statement that should be included in an auditor's letter on significant deficiencies. Answer (d) is correct because PSA 265 indicates that such a letter to the audit committee should (1) indicate that the audit's purpose was to report on the financial statements and not to express an opinion on internal control, (2) include the definition of a significant deficiency, and (3) restrict distribution of the report. 7. D. Analytical procedures aid in the identification of unusual transactions and events. The recording of debits and credits to an unusual combination of revenue and expense accounts would cause these accounts to behave differently than expected. The performance of analytical procedures designed to disclose differences from expectations would have helped to detect this irregularity. Answer (a) is incorrect, tracing a sample of journal entries to the general ledger would provide evidence that the journal entries were properly posted to the general ledger. As a result, evidence for the completeness assertion would be provided. It would not necessarily enable the auditor to detect unusual transactions. Answer (b) is incorrect, the evaluation of effectiveness of internal controls is performed by means of tests of controls. Such tests would not identify unusual transactions. Answer (c) is incorrect, investigating the reconciliations between controlling accounts and subsidiary records would not necessarily detect unusual transactions. 8. D. Answer (d) is correct because proper lines of reporting are necessary to prepare financial statements that follow GAAP. Answer (a) is incorrect because management’s attitude on information processing and accounting departments is indicative of the tone at the top. Answer (b) is incorrect because recruiting and hiring practices relate to the competence of client personnel. Answer (c) is incorrect since there is no necessary relationship between such physical proximity of accounting to upper management. 9. B. Inverse is correct because as control risk increases (decreases) detection risk must decrease (increase). 10. C. Answer (c) is correct because an auditor will review significant changes in balances. Answer (a) is incorrect because it is unlikely that confirmations will be sent again, particularly given the positive results obtained. Also, one ordinarily confirms accounts receivable at an interim date so as to avoid confirming accounts at year-end. Answer (b) is incorrect because it is unlikely that confirmations will be sent again, particularly given the positive results obtained. Also, one ordinarily confirms accounts receivable at an interim date so as to avoid confirming accounts at year-end. Answer (d) is incorrect because it is less complete than the proper reply. 11. B. When management is dominated by one individual, that individual may be able to follow overly aggressive accounting principles. 12. D. PSA 250 states that management failure to take the appropriate remedial action is particularly problematical since it may affect the auditor's ability to rely on management representation and may therefore lead to withdrawal. Answer (a) is incorrect, the auditor will consider these circumstances, but they are not ordinarily considered as serious as failure to take the appropriate remedial action. Answer (b) is incorrect, while the auditor will consider this circumstance it is not ordinarily considered as serious as failure to take the appropriate remedial action. Answer (c) is incorrect, this represents a circumstance which the auditor will consider, but is not ordinarily considered as serious as failure to take the appropriate remedial action. 13. C. The professional standards suggest that auditors should then consider the likelihood that risk involved could result in material misstatements. Answer (a) is incorrect, the assessment is not limited to illegal acts. Answer (b) is Page 12 of 46 incorrect, The complexity of transactions is not next to be considered. Answer (d) is incorrect, determining materiality levels occurs prior to this stage of the audit. 14. A. Answer (a) is correct because the auditor obtains evidence on the completeness of the inventory listing by comparing tags to those listed. Answer (b) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because a procedure of tracing from inventory tags to inventory items may not directly address proper counting when one tag includes a quantity of items; related, to address whether items on the listing were properly counted, one would trace sample items on that listing to the items themselves. Answer (c) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because tracing quantities does not directly address lower of cost or market considerations. Answer (d) is incorrect because tracing quantities does not directly address valuation. 15. A. Both factors are included in a sampling plan. 16. A. This answer is correct because the representation letter should be dated as of the date of the auditor’s report. 17. C. An audit program sets forth in detail the audit procedures that are necessary to accomplish the objectives of the audit. Answer (a) is incorrect, audit programs address topics beyond selecting material transactions and this is not their primary focus. Answer (b) is incorrect, a program may include numerous substantive tests to be performed prior to the balance sheet date. Answer (d) is incorrect, immaterial accounts often are not tested and because tests of transactions, tests of balances, and analytical procedures are used to test account balances; account balances are not directly tested through tests of controls. 18. A. The requirement is to identify a primary purpose of an auditor's working papers. PSA 230 states that working papers serve mainly to provide the principal support for the auditor's report and to aid the auditor in the conduct and supervision of the audit. 19. C. This answer is correct because disputes between management and the auditor on accounting matters represents a risky situation. Answer (a) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because a lack of interest by management in maintaining an earnings trend does not appear particularly risky, as contrasted to a circumstance in which management is extremely concerned with maintaining such a trend. Answer (b) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because the sale of assets at a loss may indicate errors in judgment relating to estimating the assets’ life or salvage value and this is less likely to represent fraudulent financial reporting. Answer (d) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because companies often have large checks outstanding. 20. C. Entering invalid identification numbers or passwords will provide the auditor with evidence on whether controls are operating as designed. Answer (a) is incorrect, directly testing access controls is more direct than testing data through checkpoints at intervals. Answer (b) is incorrect, a transaction log will not in general, by itself, identify whether transactions were lost or entered twice. Answer (d) is incorrect, vouching proper authorization is only one measure of whether controls are properly functioning. 21. D. To address the overall risk of material misstatement, an auditor should assign personnel to the engagement who have the skills and competence appropriate to the circumstances. Answer (a) is incorrect, the external auditor has no authority over an entity’s internal audit function and cannot assign specific internal audit personnel to assist with the engagement. Answer (b) is incorrect, the external auditor has no authority over an entity’s accounting personnel and cannot assign specific accounting personnel to assist with the engagement. Answer (c) is incorrect, the external auditor has no authority over an entity’s senior management and cannot assign management personnel to assist with the engagement. 22. D. An auditor uses the assessed levels of control and inherent risk to establish the level of detection risk that the auditor may accept. Answer (a) is incorrect, the auditor must obtain an understanding of the control environment before determining the assessed level of control risk. That understanding is then used to assess control risk. Answer (b) is incorrect, an assessment of control risk does not provide assurance that the auditor's materiality levels are appropriate. Assessed control risk and assessed inherent risk enable the auditor to set detection risk and to determine the nature, timing, and extent of the auditing procedures to be performed. Answer (c) is incorrect, control risk and inherent risk are independently assessed risks. Inherent risk pertains to the risk that a material misstatement will occur in an account or a transaction without considering related internal controls. Control risk relates to the risk that the internal controls will not prevent or detect a material misstatement in an account or a transaction. It does not make sense, therefore, for the control risk assessment to indicate where inherent risk may be the greatest. 23. A. This answer is correct because these two errors generally result in an auditor performing unnecessary additional procedures. Answer (b) is incorrect because the risk of incorrect acceptance and the risk of assessing control risk too low relate to the effectiveness of an audit. Answer (c) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because sampling risk components do not directly affect the actual selection of sample items. Answer (d) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because the quality controls to be adhered to during the audit engagement are not directly affected by the components of sampling risk. Page 13 of 46 24. A. This answer is correct because whether the data were processed in a computerized system or in a manual accounting system will not in and of itself influence reliability--either type of system may provide reliable (or unreliable) information. Answer (b) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because whether sources within the entity were independent of those who are responsible for the amount being audited does influence the auditor’s consideration of the reliability of data for purposes of achieving audit objectives. Answer (c) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because whether the data were subjected to such audit testing is a factor which influences the auditor’s consideration of the reliability of data for purposes of achieving audit objectives. Answer (d) is incorrect, This answer is incorrect because whether the data were obtained from independent sources is a factor which influences the auditor’s consideration of the reliability of data for purposes of achieving audit objectives. 25. C. Answer (c) is correct, this answer is correct because when the auditor becomes aware of information that existed at the report date that might have affected the audit report had it been known, it should be investigated. Answer (a) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because if the transaction occurred after the audit report was issued the auditor need not consider it. Answer (b) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because such final resolution need not be disclosed. Answer (d) is incorrect, this answer is incorrect because the event relating to going concern status occurred after issuance of the audit report. 26. C. Answer (c) is correct. The consideration of tolerable misstatement is related to preliminary judgments in a manner such that when the auditor's preliminary judgments about tolerable misstatement levels for accounts or transaction types are combined for the entire audit plan, the preliminary judgments about materiality levels for the financial statements are not exceeded. Answer (a) is incorrect, the auditor's judgment of business risk related to a client is not directly related to tolerable misstatement. Answer (b) is incorrect, tolerable misstatement may be adjusted for qualitative factors. Answer (d) is incorrect, tolerable misstatement may be changed during the audit process, especially as misstatements are identified and the auditor considers the nature of the misstatements. 27. C. Answer (c) is correct, in such a circumstance the failure to take remedial action may cause an auditor to decrease reliance on management representations. Answer (a) is incorrect, The reply by the attorney is likely to disclose any claims, litigation or assessments that the client has improperly omitted from the letter of audit inquiry. Answer (b) is incorrect, the prior years' audit programs are not being relied upon for this year's audit. Answer (d) is incorrect, the preliminary judgment about materiality levels would not be expected to change. 28. B. Inverse is correct because as internal control is relied upon to a lesser extent, substantive tests are relied upon to a greater extent. 29. B. Answer (b) is correct. This answer is correct because examining transactions occurring during the last month will reveal whether they have been recorded in the proper period. Answer (a) is incorrect. This answer is incorrect because, since most sales occur during the final month, interim period testing will not address the last month sales very well. The interim period has different characteristics (at a minimum, lower sales) than sales in the last month. Answer (c) is incorrect. This answer is incorrect because, since most sales occur during the final month, interim period testing will not address the last month sales very well. The interim period has different characteristics (at a minimum, lower sales) than sales in the last month. Answer (d) is incorrect. This answer is incorrect as examining period-end compensation will not as directly address final month sales. 30. A. Per PRC BOA Resolution No. 22 Series of 2020, the BOA unanimously agreed that the membership in the AASC be increased from fifteen (15) to eighteen (18) to include two (2) representatives from the small and medium sized practitioners, a representative from the Insurance Commission, and remove the representative from government. The PRC BOA Resolution was dated July 1, 2020 and was published in official gazette on July 9, 2020. 31. D. Sec. 19 of our RA 9298 or Philippine Accountancy Act of 2004 provides that all successful candidates in the examination shall be required to take an oath of profession before any member of the Board or before any government official authorized by the Commission or any person authorized by law to administer oaths upon presentation of proof of his/her qualification, prior to entering upon the practice of the profession. It does not include the professional’s rating in the licensure examination. 32. D. Answer (d) is correct. This is the answer that is not true, for clients have the right to object to outsourcing of substantive services and if they do object then the accounting firms should either do the work themselves or decline the engagement altogether. Answer (a) is incorrect. Outsourcing mere administrative support services does not unduly threaten objectivity or integrity. Answer (b) is incorrect. Clients should be notified, preferably in writing, before any of their confidential information is provided to a TSP. Answer (c) is incorrect. Clients have the right to object to outsourcing of substantive services and if they do object, firms should either do the work themselves or decline the engagement altogether. They should not outsource over their clients’ objections. 33. A. Answer (a) is correct since materiality is explicitly addressed in audit and other assurance reports. Answer (b) is incorrect because materiality may also be expressed in terms of percentage. Answer (b) is incorrect, materiality is based on the auditor’s professional judgment. Answer (d) is incorrect, materiality is used in assurance engagements. 34. C. The five (5) inherent risk factors discussed in PSA 315 (Revised 2019) include (1) complexity, (2) subjectivity, (3) uncertainty, (4) change, (5) susceptibility to misstatement due to management bias or fraud. Answer (c) is not included. Page 14 of 46 35. D. Generally, control environment, risk assessment process and monitoring of controls are considered indirect controls while control activities and information system and communication are considered as direct controls.

A. The taxable income of Nicanor is PHP 250,000, hence exempt from income taxation, therefore the tax withheld on his compensation during the year should be refunded not later than January 25 of the following year. 59. B. The tax due on taxable income of Inday is PHP 10,000. Since total tax withheld during the year amounted to only PHP 5,000, hence, the balance of PHP 5,000 should be withheld on his December salary and remitted on January 15 or the following year. 60. C. Since Kennedy is a minimum wage earner, his compensation income is exempt from income tax. Any tax withheld therefore should be refunded to him in full on or before January 25 of the following year. 61. A. Jett’s income tax due on his taxable compensation for the year is Php 490,000. Since the same amount was already withheld from January to November, ABC Corp. need not make any further withholding on his December salary. 62. A. In annualization, total taxable compensation from present and previous employment are to be consolidated for purposes of computing employee’s income tax for the year. The total taxable compensation of PHP 500,000 (PHP 450,000 from previous and PHP 50,000 from present) would yield the income tax due of PHP 55,000. Since the previous employer remitted only PHP 20,000, the present employer needs to withhold the remaining PHP 35,000 on his December salary. 63. A. Thirteenth month pay is equivalent to the mandatory one (1) month basic salary of official and employees and is based on the total basic salary earned during the year divided by 12 months. Emong has worked at least one month, hence he is entitled to the 13th month pay. The basic salary of Emong from ABC Corp. is Php 50,000 divided by 12 months would arrive at a 13th month pay of Php 4,166.67. 64. B. As indicated in the problem, adjustments were made on the salary of Nicanor (refund of Php 10,000), Inday (withholding of additional Php 5,000), Kennedy (refund of erroneous withholding) and Jett (properly withheld), and that all have no previous employment during the year, all of them are qualified for substituted filing. Emong on the other hand is disqualified due to him having multiple employers during the year even if ABC Corp. made the proper withholding.
