[All CPA-Auditing Questions]

Which of the following factors is (are) considered in determining the sample size for a test of controls?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Choice 'a' is correct. It is appropriate for the representation letter to contain a statement regarding subsequent events.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. The representation letter typically includes information in four categories: financial statements; completeness; recognition, measurement, and disclosure; and subsequent events.

The communication of significant deficiencies in internal control does not fall within these categories.

Choice 'c' is incorrect. The representation letter typically includes information in four categories: financial statements; completeness; recognition, measurement, and disclosure; and subsequent events.

A waiver of attorney-client privilege does not fall within these categories.

Choice 'd' is incorrect. While this may be an accurate statement, it is not something that would be included in the management representation letter. The representation letter typically includes information in four categories: financial statements; completeness; recognition, measurement, and disclosure; and subsequent events.

Option A: Throw a dart at the answer sheet. Option B: Consult your Magic 8-Ball. Option C: Phone a friend. Option D: All of the above. I'm going with Option D, it's the most 'in-control' choice.

Wait, we're supposed to consider the sample size for a test of controls? I thought we were just testing how much coffee we could consume during the exam!

Ugh, these accounting questions are like trying to read a foreign language. I'll just close my eyes and pick an answer randomly. Probably won't make a difference anyway.

Just remember to consider the risk of material misstatement and the tolerable deviation rate.

This question is a real head-scratcher. I'm going to have to guess and hope for the best. Maybe I should've paid more attention in class!
