Auditing & Attestation 1 3 上下20ミリ 左右14ミリ で0ミリ相当 Copyright 2013. TAC Co., LTD. Through license from Becker CPA Review 1. Audited Financial Statements: The Basics 1. CPA-04613 Choice "c" is correct. An auditor's responsibility is to express an opinion on financial statements based on an audit. Choice "a" is incorrect. An auditor may draft an entity's financial statements based on information from management's financial system. This would be referred to as a compilation engagement. Choice "b" is incorrect. The adoption of sound accounting policies is an implicit part of management's responsibilities, not the auditor's responsibilities. Choice "d" is incorrect. An auditor often makes suggestions that are adopted about an entity's internal control environment. 3. CPA-05709 Choice "a" is correct. The auditor must obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to afford a reasonable basis for the opinion. Choice "b" is incorrect. Auditing standards do not use the word adequate in describing the requirements for audit evidence; the term is sufficient appropriate audit evidence. Choice "c" is incorrect. Auditing standards use the word reasonable to describe the type of assurance gained by the auditor as the basis for the opinion, and not to describe a specific requirement for audit evidence. Choice "d" is incorrect. Auditing standards do not use the word disconfirming in describing the requirements for audit evidence. 2. CPA-05899 Choice "b" is correct. The literature pertaining to U.S. GAAP changes over time, and therefore U.S. generally accepted accounting principles can be said to encompass the conventions, rules, and procedures necessary to define accepted accounting practice at a particular time. U.S. GAAP is one of the financial reporting frameworks acceptable for preparation of financial statements. IFRS is another one. Choice "a" is incorrect. The literature pertaining to U.S. GAAP does provide detailed practices and procedures. Choice "c" is incorrect. The phrase "U.S. generally accepted accounting principles" does not provide a measure of conventions, rules, and procedures governed by the AICPA. The AICPA provides Statements on Auditing Standards, which relate to proper performance of a financial statement audit, not to accounting principles. Choice "d" is incorrect. Inclusion of the phrase "U.S. generally accepted accounting principles" in the audit report indicates whether the financial statements are presented in accordance with the conventions, rules, and procedures that define accepted accounting practice in the United States. Inclusion of this phrase does not indicate whether the audit has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). Auditing & Attestation 1 53
