Internal Control and Risk Assessment Practice Question

Question

A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the CPA AUD Auditing and Attestation involving fraud risk in Internal Control and Risk Assessment. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 105)

Answer choices

1. A. The best answer is to select the audit response that best supports sufficient appropriate evidence, professional skepticism, and proper reporting for the fraud risk scenario.
2. B. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
3. C. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
4. D. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.

Correct Answer

A. The best answer is to select the audit response that best supports sufficient appropriate evidence, professional skepticism, and proper reporting for the fraud risk scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because fraud risk is tested by asking candidates to select the audit response that best supports sufficient appropriate evidence, professional skepticism, and proper reporting. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
