    I got 2.25m.

    The increase in revenue by 25% from online sales is correct but for warehouse sales, they had told the fifth one has got sales in line with the previous ones.. That means they must have had 4 earlier, which means 1.2/4 =0.3. And if 5th one is also included its 0.3*5=1.5 plus 0.75 equals 2.25

    Guys, I got a question related to materiality in part A. Preliminary materiality was set at 25k. And also there was a misstatement of 12k which was uncorrected. The question asked was to select two correct statements in relation to a misstatement of 15k.
    I can remember I picked
    1. This misstatement is not material therefore adjustment is not required
    2. Opinion will not be modified

    What are you answers guys if you can remember????

    For me 2 were not was independent the sister of ceo.
    Secondly the materiality question told us that the company already had 12K mistatements done now a further of 13K are uncorrected which means its materiality combined 25K and qualified due to material.

    For 50000 assets that couldnt be located they needed disclaimer of opinion.

    For audit software i got same as yours.

    For director’s re election every 3 years other 3 options were every year.

    For management dosent wants to give representation check their integrity

    For the proceedures question i had it numbered ” 4 3 1 2″

    The corporate question i answered 1 only. I.e its only responsibility was to direct and govern the company’s direction.

    For representation functions.
    1-4 were the only options relevant i.e its content is auditor based. And its client generated.

    If anyone wants to ask more or discuss them reply here or my email : lixjwd@gmail.com.

    Hey guys! What was the right answer for the most reliable audit evidence in the mcq?

    My answer : – calculations made by a member of the audit team

    – industry analysis by the internal auditor
    – written representation from directors
    – verbal confirmation.

    That’s the order I picked.

    But they had not told it’s material in aggregate.. So I thought it’s not material

    For 50k, I think it’s qualified due to inability to obtain sufficient evidence because it doesn’t affect the whole FS right?

    sir materality was set at 25K while they already had a 12k error.
    Even tho this issue was isolated but the issue was huge in total i.e double the basic materiality and they already had some uncorrected issues which the management wasnt intending to correct.
    this in total have effect of 12+50 = 62 which is 2.38 times more than the material amount and if u look at standard materiality its simply 5-10 % of the profit and assuming this get around 10-20% material amount.

    also check my other answers above do they match to yours?
    and for the single 13k i guess they had only 1 option to tick b/c only one decision was relevant.

    @sirhanj

    For the physical verification I put unable to obtain SA evidence hence qualified opinion.

    It is not pervasive for it to be a disclaimer of an opinion was my thinking when I answered but I’m not sure.

    It was a listed company as far as I remember and therefore shouldn’t the directors be re-elected annually? For Nomination committee assessment I put 3 years because it consists majority of NEDs and NEDs are normally appointed for 3 years and others were all 1

    For the corparate governance Q I put 1 but listed companies does not have to follow all provisions for corporate governance. ie. It is not compulsory to have an Internal audit department but they should consider annually.

    Those were my thinking behind the answer and in no way do I claim it to be correct. Just a heads up 🙂

    @ranganaherath
    they said evaluation of the rumeration committee so its done on yearly basis how they are working for the firm and are same as directors should be annually assessed.
    and for listed directors they are changed every 3 years by the shareholders (as far as i know in sbl its applied)

    @rashard

    i think there was only 1 option to tick.
    and there were a total of 25K uncorrected (12k before) and 13k as suggested by the question in total it met 25K so isnt thats what our materiality was?
