98. What are the AICPA’s fundamental principles?
ANSWER: The AICPA has developed seven fundamental principles that govern audits. The four
categories, with their specific principles, are:
Purpose of an Audit and Premise upon Which an Audit Is Conducted
1. The purpose of an audit is to enhance the degree of confidence that users can place
in the financial statement. This purpose is achieved when an auditor expresses an
opinion on the financial statements.
2. An audit is based on the premise that management has responsibility to prepare the
financial statements, maintain internal control over financial reporting, and provide the
auditor with relevant information and access to personnel.
Responsibilities
3. Auditors are responsible for having the appropriate competence and capabilities to
perform the audit, should comply with ethical requirements, and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit.
Performance
4. The auditor needs to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
5. Obtaining reasonable assurance requires the auditor to plan and supervise the work,
determine materiality levels, identify risks of material misstatement, and design and
implement appropriate audit responses to the assessed risks.
6. An audit has inherent limitations such that the auditor is not able to obtain absolute
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from misstatement.
Reporting
7. The auditor expresses an opinion as to whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement or states that an opinion cannot be
expressed.

100. Financial Statement Assertions
Identify and describe the five management assertions inherent in financial statement. Provide examples.
ANSWER: Existence or Occurrence: Assertions about existence address whether assets and
liabilities exist and assertions about occurrence address whether recorded transactions,
such as sales transactions, have occurred.
Example: Management asserts that sales recorded in the income statement
represent transactions in which the exchange of goods or services with customers
for cash or other consideration had occurred.
Completeness: Assertions about completeness address whether all transactions and
accounts that should be included in the financial statements are included.
Example: Management asserts that notes payable in the balance sheet include all
such obligations of the organization.
Valuation or Allocation: Assertions about valuation or allocation address whether
accounts have been included in the financial statements at appropriate amounts.
Example: Management asserts that trade accounts receivable included in the
balance sheet are stated at net realizable value.
Rights and Obligations: Assertions about rights address whether assets are the
rights of the organization, while assertions about obligations address whether liabilities
are the obligations of the organization.
Example: Management asserts that amounts capitalized for leases in the balance
sheet represent the cost of the entity’s rights to leased property and that the
corresponding lease liability represents an obligation of the entity.
Presentation and Disclosure: Assertions about presentation and disclosure address
whether components of the financial statements are properly classified, described, and
disclosed.
Example: Management asserts that obligations classified as long-term liabilities
in the balance sheet will not mature within one year.

103. What are the three broad types of audit procedures? What is the purpose of each test?
ANSWER: Risk assessment procedures. Procedures performed by the auditor to obtain
information for identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the
financial statements whether due to error or fraud. Risk assessment procedures by
themselves do not provide sufficient appropriate evidence on which to base an audit
opinion, but are used for purposes of planning the audit.
Tests of controls. Audit procedures designed to evaluate the operating effectiveness
of controls in preventing, or detecting and correcting, material misstatements, typically
at the assertion level.
Substantive procedures. Audit procedures designed to detect material misstatements
in accounts which include tests of details and substantive analytical procedures.
