Question 1.

The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) has recently released a consultation paper, ‘Improving the Structure of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants’ (the Code)

Briefly describe the Code as it applies to professional accountants.

Question 2.

The application of professional skepticism can be enhanced if it is considered at different structural levels; i.e. 1.Individual auditor, 2. Engagement team, 3. Audit firm, and 4. Overall audit profession.

Discuss each level in terms of 1. Potential threats; 2. Mitigating factors and 3. Suggestions to enhance

Question 3.

The AASB is currently in the process of making changes to AASB101 Presentation of Financial Statements in an attempt to ‘declutter’ financial statements. The main aim of this ‘decluttering’ initiative is to apply materiality to all disclosures. AASB Media Release (2/2/15)

Entities are not required to disclose immaterial information in their financial statements. Just because a standards contains a list of disclosures does not mean that an entity must always make each of those disclosures in its financial statements. Judgement is required to determine whether the relevant line item is material and also whether the specified disclosure is material.

It seems as if the Accounting Standards say one thing (don’t disclose if not material), yet preparers and auditors have done the opposite (disclosure, disclosure and more disclosure).

Explain why is there is disclosure overload by preparers and auditors.

Question 4.

List and explain at least five (5) common pitfalls flagged by professional bodies and file reviewers which auditors should try to avoid.
