Question 44
1. Control deficiency: occurs when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent
or detect misstatements on a timely basis
2. Significant deficiencies: this is a single weakness or combination of weaknesses in the internal
control associated with financial reporting, which is sufficient to merit investigation by the
management.
3. Materials weakness: this is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements
will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Question 42
Substantive strategies are used where the auditor has decided not to rely on the entity's controls
and instead use substantive procedures as the main source of evidence about the assertions in the
financial statements while reliance strategies are used when the auditor intends to rely on the
entity's controls. If a reliance strategy is followed, the auditor may need a more detailed
understanding of internal control to develop a preliminary assessment of control risk. An auditor
will choose to use substantive strategies when he has sufficient knowledge of the system of
internal control to understand the potential causes of misstatements.
Question 45
Monetary unit sampling uses attribute sampling THEORY to express a conclusion in dollar amounts
rather than as a rate of occurrence. When the results of monetary unit sampling is found to have zero
misstatements, the auditor will take the allowance for sampling risk equals zero. The auditor may also
choose to use a bigger sample size to test for misstatements again.
Question 43
1. Occurrence: checks to confirm that the transactions recorded or disclosed actually
happened and relate to the entity.
2. Completeness: checks to confirm that transactions that should have been recorded and
disclosed have not been omitted.
3. Accuracy: checks to ensure there are no errors while preparing documents or in posting
transactions to ledgers.
4. Cut-off: checks if transactions are recorded in the correct accounting period.
5. Classification: checks if transactions are recorded in the appropriate accounts
