    CPA · Question 04 · Area II: Risk Assessment

    During the audit of a nonissuer, the auditor identifies a significant risk of fraud related to revenue recognition. The auditor decides to incorporate an element of unpredictability into the audit procedures. Which of the following procedures would BEST satisfy this objective?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Increasing the sample size for confirmation of accounts receivable balances at year-end.

    B.

    Testing a sample of revenue transactions at a location that was not visited in the prior year and was not scheduled for testing based on materiality.

    C.

    Performing analytical procedures on revenue by product line using data aggregated at the same level as the prior year.

    D.

    Requesting management to provide a schedule of all revenue transactions over a specific dollar threshold.

    How to approach this question

    Think about what management expects the auditor to do (test material items, visit large locations). Unpredictability means doing something they DON'T expect.

    Full Answer

    B.Testing a sample of revenue transactions at a location that was not visited in the prior year and was not scheduled for testing based on materiality.✓ Correct
    B
    AU-C 240 requires the auditor to incorporate an element of unpredictability in the selection of the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures. This can include performing substantive procedures on selected account balances and assertions not otherwise tested due to their materiality or risk, adjusting the timing of testing, or using different sampling methods.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing 'more work' (larger sample) with 'unpredictable work'.
