AICPA CPA-Auditing Exam - Topic 3 Question 4 Discussion

Posted by Heike on May 06, 2022 at 05:43 AM

When an auditor believes there is substantial doubt about the ability of an entity to continue as a going concern, all of the following should be included in the audit documentation, except:

Suggested Answer: C

Choice "c" is correct. Whether substantial doubt remains or is alleviated is a judgment call made by the auditor, and there is no requirement to document management's opinion on the matter.

Choices "a", "b", and "d" are incorrect. When an auditor believes there is substantial doubt about the ability of an entity to continue as a going concern, the conditions that gave rise to the substantial doubt, the auditor's conclusion about whether substantial doubt remains or is alleviated, and the effect of the auditor's conclusion on the auditor's report should all be documented.

Wait, why wouldn't management's conclusion be included? Seems important!

I think the auditor's conclusion is crucial too.

Definitely need to document the conditions that caused the doubt.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between desktop and cloud flows. I'll need to review the details on those to make the best choice.

This is a good one. I've seen questions like this before, so I'm feeling confident. I'll carefully read through the options and use my knowledge of Splunk configuration to identify the correct answer.
