5. The starting point for the verification
of the balance in
the general bank account is to obtain:
a. A bank reconciliation from the client.
b. The client's cash account from the
general ledger.
c. A cutoff bank statement directly from the
bank.
d. The client's year-end bank statement.
EXPLANATION: The bank reconciliation provides
a starting point for verifying the bank balance
because it reconciles the client's book balance
with the bank statement balance, highlighting
any discrepancies and reconciling items.
6. Which of the following substantive
audit procedures is
most likely to be performed by the
auditor to gather
evidence in support of the balance per
bank?
a. Confirm directly with bank
b. Compare to general ledger.
c. Trace to cash receipts journal.
d. Trace items on the cutoff bank statement
to bank
reconciliation.
EXPLANATION: Confirming directly with the
bank provides the most reliable evidence to
support the balance per bank, as it verifies the
bank's records directly.
7. Which of the following substantive
audit procedures is
least likely to be performed by the
auditor to gather
evidence in support of the deposits in
transit?
a. Inspect supporting documents for
reconciling item
not appearing on cutoff bank statement.
b. Trace items on the bank reconciliation to
cutoff
bank statement.
c. Trace to cash receipts journal.
d. Inspect bank credit memo.
EXPLANATION: Bank credit memos relate to
additions to the bank balance, not deposits in
transit. Deposits in transit are deposits made by
the client but not yet recorded by the bank.
8. Which of the following substantive
audit procedures is
least likely to be performed by the
auditor to gather
evidence in support of the outstanding
checks?
a. Confirm directly with bank.
b. Trace to cash disbursements journal.
c. Ascertain reason for unusual delay.
d. Trace items on the bank reconciliation to
cutoff
bank statement.
EXPLANATION: While confirming directly with
the bank can be useful, it's not the most likely
procedure for verifying outstanding checks.
Outstanding checks are checks issued by the
client but not yet cashed by the payee. The
auditor would more likely trace these checks to
the cash disbursements journal and the cutoff
bank statement.
9. A partial-period bank statement and
the related
canceled checks, duplicate deposit slips,
and other
documents included in bank statements,
mailed by the
bank directly to the CPA firm's office, is
called:
a. A four-column proof of cash.
b. A year-end bank statement.
c. A cutoff bank statement.
d. A short-period bank statement.
EXPLANATION: A cutoff bank statement is a
specific bank statement covering a short period,
usually a few days before and after the year-
end, that's sent directly to the auditor to verify
transactions around the cutoff date.
10. An auditor who is engaged to
examine the financial
statements of a business enterprise will
request cutoff
bank statement primarily in order to
a. Verify the cash balance reported on the
bank
confirmation inquiry form.
b. Verify reconciling items on the client’s
bank
reconciliation.
c. Detect lapping.
d. Detect kiting.
EXPLANATION: The cutoff bank statement helps
the auditor verify the accuracy of items like
deposits in transit and outstanding checks on
the bank reconciliation, ensuring they are
properly accounted for.

confirmation request to financial
institutions with which
the client has done business during the
year is to
a. Detect kiting activities that may otherwise
not be
discovered.
b. Corroborate information regarding
deposit and loan
balances.
c. Provide the data necessary to prepare a
proof of
cash.
d. Request information about contingent
liabilities and
secured transactions.
EXPLANATION: Bank confirmations are
primarily used to verify the client's reported
balances with the bank, ensuring they are
accurate and complete.
5. The auditor should ordinarily mail
confirmation
requests to all banks with which the
client has
conducted any business during the year,
regardless of
the year-end balance, since
a. The confirmation form also seeks
information
about indebtedness to the bank.
b. This procedure will detect kiting activities
which
otherwise not be detected.
c. The mailing of confirmation forms to all
such banks
is required by GAAS.
d. This procedure relieves the auditor of any
responsibility with respect to non-detection
of
forged checks.
EXPLANATION: Auditors send confirmations to
all banks, regardless of the year-end balance,
because the confirmation form can also gather
information about any outstanding loans or
other liabilities the client may have with the
bank. This helps the auditor gain a complete
picture of the client's financial position.
