ADVANCED AUDITING OA & PA EXAM WITH
COMPLETE 400 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS/ ALREADY GRADED A+
(MOST RECENT!!)
1. The auditor's judgment concerning the overall fairness of
the presentation of financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows is applied within the framework of:
a) Quality control
b) Generally accepted auditing standards, which include the
concept of materiality
c) The auditor's evaluation of the audited company's internal
control
d) The applicable financial reporting framework (i.e., GAAP in
the United States)
Correct Answer: d) The applicable financial reporting
framework (i.e., GAAP in the United States)
Rationale: The auditor evaluates financial statements against an
applicable financial reporting framework (such as GAAP). The
framework provides the criteria for judging whether the statements
1
,are fairly presented. GAAS guides the audit process, but the
framework is the benchmark for fairness .
2. Inquiries of warehouse personnel concerning possible
obsolete or slow-moving inventory items provide assurance
about the PCAOB assertion of:
a) Completeness
b) Existence
c) Presentation
d) Valuation
e) Rights and obligations
Correct Answer: d) Valuation
Rationale: The valuation assertion addresses whether assets are
recorded at appropriate amounts. Obsolete or slow-moving
inventory may be overvalued if not properly written down. Inquiries
about obsolescence directly test whether inventory is valued
correctly, not just whether it exists .
3. Assurance services involve all of the following, except:
a) Relevance as well as the reliability of information
b) Non-financial information as well as traditional financial
statements
2
,c) Providing absolute rather than reasonable assurance
d) Electronic databases as well as printed reports
Correct Answer: c) Providing absolute rather than reasonable
assurance
Rationale: Assurance services provide reasonable assurance, not
absolute assurance. Auditors cannot provide absolute certainty due
to inherent limitations of audit evidence (sampling, judgment, fraud
concealment). Audit risk can be reduced but never eliminated
entirely .
4. Which of the following is a management assertion
regarding account balances at the period end?
a) Transactions and events that have been recorded have
occurred and pertain to the entity
b) Transactions and events have been recorded in the proper
accounts
c) The entity holds or controls the rights to assets, and liabilities
are obligations of the entity
d) Amounts and other data related to the transactions and events
have been recorded appropriately
Correct Answer: c) The entity holds or controls the rights to
assets, and liabilities are obligations of the entity
3
, Rationale: The "rights and obligations" assertion applies to account
balances at period end. It addresses whether the entity has legal
ownership or control of assets and whether liabilities represent
actual obligations. The other options relate to transaction-level
assertions .
5. The audit objective that footnotes in the financial
statements should be clear and expressed such that the
information is easily conveyed to the readers of the financial
statements is related most closely with which ASB
presentation and disclosure assertion?
a) Occurrence
b) Rights and obligations
c) Comprehensibility
d) Understandability
Correct Answer: c) Comprehensibility
Rationale: The comprehensibility assertion (also called
understandability in some frameworks) requires that financial
information be clearly expressed and presented so users can
understand it. This includes the clarity and organization of footnote
disclosures .
