AICPA CPA-Auditing Exam - Topic 1 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for AICPA's CPA-Auditing exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 1
[All CPA-Auditing Questions]

Which of the following is not an example of the application of professional skepticism?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Choice "c" is correct. The auditor should consider that fraud might occur regardless of any past experience with the entity. An assessment of management's honesty and integrity performed during the previous year would not necessarily be relevant to the current year's audit.

Choice "a" is incorrect. An auditor might apply professional skepticism by performing additional audit procedures designed to improve the reliability of evidence.

Choice "b" is incorrect. Corroborating management's Explanation: s is an example of the application of professional skepticism, since the auditor is obtaining additional support rather than simply accepting the Explanation: as given.

Choice "d" is incorrect. Using third party confirmations to provide support for management's representations is an example of the application of professional skepticism, since the auditor is obtaining additional support rather than simply accepting the Explanation: as given.

I thought all these options were about skepticism, but C feels off.

Wait, is it really okay to ask about management's honesty like that?

Okay, I remember learning that MoV is applicable to both project and non-project environments, so I don't think C is correct. I'm leaning towards B, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Okay, let's see. Workspace ONE Boxer is for email and calendar, Intelligence is for analytics, and Assist is for virtual assistant. That leaves Access as the component for SSO, so I'll go with that.

Okay, let me think this through. The question mentions a hacked version of the developer toolkit used to create applications for Apple's iTunes store. That narrows it down to the main Apple development suite, which I believe is called Xcode. I'll go with that.

This is a classic DNS question. The answer is clearly "D. host". That's the standard command to look up the IP address for a given domain name. Easy peasy!
