Pami bahl biography of donald

TUTOR: So, any questions?

SKULL: Can we use financial statement assertions for both tests of control and substantive procedures???

TUTOR: You use F/S assertions as a list to cover everything that needs to be verified about a figure. TOC’s and SP’s can both help there.

POLAZZOPARDI: Would the Clarity Project be examined much?

TUTOR: I would think that the audit opinions might be asked about.

YVONNE_1: Any chance of ratios coming up on Wednesday?

SKULL: Also, the Clarity Project… Would you explain it a little? How can the examiner ask about it and how are we going to answer it?

TUTOR: YVONNE_1, I think analytical procedures are likely. SKULL… yes, the Clarity Project brings in the most obvious change, which is the wording of qualified opinions. There’s also a new term, “Performance materiality”.

SI80: The wording of qualified opinions should be “material misstatement” in place of “disagreement” and “unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence” in place of “limitation of scope”. Am I correct?

TUTOR: SI80, you’re spot on.

SI80: What’s “performance materiality”?

TUTOR: Well, you have materiality for the financial statements as a whole. Performance materiality is when you set materiality lower during audit tests in case several errors all work the same way.

POLAZZOPARDI: We don’t need to know the ISA Numbers, do we?

TUTOR: Absolutely not.

BEREANK: Regarding the clarity project. Will we be expected to answer something in a scenario or will we have to compare current changes with old wording?

TUTOR: I don’t think they will examine its history. They’re more interested in the present wording.

POLAZZOPARDI: When it comes to performance materiality, are you setting materiality lower to increase the analytical procedures?

TUTOR: No. An error of $100,000 might be material in the FS. For individual tests you might set $25,000, in case 4
