    I was confused in the question where it asked the responsibility of audit firm in relation to detection and prevention of fraud I think it is not their primary responsibility right?

    Detection and prevention of fraud is management responsibility not auditors. Auditors responsibility is to design and perform audit procedures responsive to their assessment of risk in the business in order to provide only reasonable assurance that the FSs are free from material misstatement by fraud or error.

    In the Bpp Exam kit there is a question in the audit report section that

    had a scenario with inventory just like the one in exam.

    You all can take a look as to whether it was except for or disclaimer of opinion.

    I can’t remember all the facts in the one in exam but you all who have a better memory can compare it.

    The last question I did awefully and the rest I dont know. MCQs seemed tricky….I could not remember control elements. I am so sorry I had worked hard and I really dont like audit. The though I have to retake the exam kills me.

    At the ethical question…I think there was advocacy threat when auditors have been asked to help seek directors. What do you think?

    To detect misstatement, reasonable evidence is not correct – it sufficient and appropriate. This is why most of us are not counting on 20 marks from the MCQ’s; we may just get ALL incorrect!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!! Calculate your grade from 80, therefore your expectation is reasonable.

    The answer is D – To detect material misstatements, and need sufficient and appropriate audit evidence. Use the elimination rule – easier to determine the correct answer.

    the first one (receivables) is material but not pervasive, as you can discuss the issue as ‘auditor can communicate with the finance director’ as sufficient evidence that the finance director can resolve the issue in due course, if not before date of the auditor’s report but it will be later on, therefore, there should be modified audit report with qualified opinion since finance director does not want to give any allowance to the receivable balance which means he does not want to adjust the FS (otherise, the report can be modified with unqualified opinion by inserting an ’emphasis of matter’); the inventory issue needs to be discussed as whether the auditor can reply on the work of internal auditor and whether they are independence and competence to prepare ‘inventory court’ such work so that their work can be trusted by the auditor, and if yes, their work can be used as the sufficient and appropriate evidence to be replied on so the auditor’s report needs to be modified with qualified opinion; otheriwse, the new auditor needs to give disclaimer of opinion. so i think there are two opinions for inventory’s issue. What do you think, fellows?

    the Significant Change in ownership will cause the auditor to review the engagement , something like that ?

    and then true or false.. (1)

    I think this statement should be False. Because it is the director’s responsibility to prepare the FS not the shareholders and whoever the shareholders are being changed, it is always the director who needs to hold the same responsibility to prepare the FS and auditor holds theirs as same as before. That’s why the auditor does not need to review the engagement letter. Anyone agrees with me please?

    But I think the exam format now is better than cutting down the scenario questions and increasing the MCQ. 🙂
