An accounts payable clerk has recently transferred into the internal audit activity and has been assigned to an engagement related to accounts payable processes for which he was previously responsible Which of the following is the best action for the new internal auditor to take?

  • A. If it is an assurance engagement, accept the assignment because direct knowledge of the existing accounts payable processes will provide depth and add more value
  • B. If it is a consulting engagement, decline the assignment and ask to be reassigned, because in a consulting engagement the auditor must not assess operations for areas in which they were previously responsible.
  • C. If it is an assurance engagement, accept the assignment because the chief audit executive had knowledge of the internal auditor's previous role when this engagement was assigned.
  • D. if it is a consulting engagement, accept the assignment because direct knowledge of the existing accounts payable processes will provide depth and add more value

* IIA Standards: The IIA's Code of Ethics and standards emphasize maintaining objectivity and avoiding conflicts of interest. This is particularly important in consulting engagements where the auditor's recommendations could be influenced by prior roles.
* Appropriate Action:
* Assurance Engagements: For assurance engagements, prior knowledge might be beneficial but still raises concerns about independence. Declining the consulting engagement due to previous responsibilities ensures objectivity.

Which of the following is the advantage of using internal control questionnaires (ICQs) as part of a preliminary survey for an engagement?

  • A. ICQs are efficient.
  • B. ICQs put observations into perspective.
  • C. ICQs provide tangible evidence to be quantified.
  • D. ICQs provide testimonial evidence.

解説:
The primary advantage of using internal control questionnaires (ICQs) as part of a preliminary survey for an engagement is their efficiency. ICQs allow auditors to quickly gather a large amount of information about the control environment by asking structured questions that cover key areas of interest. This helps in identifying areas that require further investigation or where controls may need improvement.
IIA References:
* The IIA's Practice Guide on Evaluating Internal Controls mentions that ICQs are useful for obtaining an initial understanding of controls and are particularly efficient when time or resources are limited. They allow auditors to systematically cover a wide range of control-related topics in a relatively short period.

Independence is compromised if the internal audit function takes on roles or responsibilities that are part of management's duties. Coordinating and managing the risk management process is a management responsibility. If internal auditors assume this role, it impairs their ability to remain independent and objective when auditing the effectiveness of the risk management process.

An internal audit activity has to confirm the validity of the activities reported by a grantee that received a charitable contribution from the organization. Which of the following methods would best help meet this objective?

  • A. Reconciling general ledger accounts used by management of the area under review for reflecting expenses on charitable contributions.
  • B. Interviewing employees of the corporate affairs department, which is responsible for charitable activities.
  • C. Verifying that the grantee's final report is in line with what was depicted in the initial budget request.
  • D. Visiting the grantee to assess whether the execution of the project was in line with the defined grant scope.

正解:D

解説:
by a grantee that received a charitable contribution, the most effective method is to visit the grantee and directly assess whether the project execution aligns with the scope defined in the grant. This method provides firsthand evidence of the grantee's activities and ensures that the charitable contributions are used as intended.
Detailed Explanation:
IIA Standard 2310 - Identifying Information:
This standard requires that internal auditors gather sufficient, reliable, relevant, and useful information to achieve the engagement objectives. Visiting the grantee allows auditors to observe and verify the actual execution of the project, which provides the most direct and reliable evidence.
Field Visits:
Conducting a site visit enables auditors to see the project in action, interview relevant personnel, and compare actual activities to what was promised in the grant proposal. This method helps ensure that the grantee is fulfilling its obligations and that the organization's charitable funds are being used effectively.
Direct Evidence:
Direct observation of the grantee's activities provides the highest level of assurance regarding the validity of the reported activities. This aligns with IIA's emphasis on obtaining the best available evidence to support audit findings.
Why Not Other Options?
Option B (Verifying final report vs. initial budget): This only compares reports, which might not accurately reflect the actual activities conducted by the grantee.
Option C (Reconciling general ledger accounts): This focuses on financial records, which may not provide sufficient detail about the actual activities conducted.
Option D (Interviewing corporate affairs employees): While informative, this method only provides secondhand information and does not directly verify the grantee's activities.
Conclusion: Option A is correct because visiting the grantee provides the most reliable and direct evidence that the activities are in line with the grant's defined scope, ensuring the validity of the grantee's reported activities.

  • A. Flexibility.
  • B. Integrity.
  • C. Initiative.
  • D. Curiosity.

正解:D

解説:
According to IIA guidance, curiosity is a key attribute that indicates a candidate's ability to probe further when reviewing incidents that have the appearance of misbehavior. Curiosity drives the auditor to ask deeper questions, seek out underlying causes, and thoroughly investigate anomalies. While integrity (Option A), flexibility (Option B), and initiative (Option C) are important qualities for an internal auditor, curiosity specifically relates to the propensity to investigate and uncover the truth behind incidents.
