1、CPA英语辅导讲义审计CPA英语辅导讲义_审计一、相关背景1、2008年注册会计师全国统一考试将在会计、审计和财务成本管理三门课程中增加10分的英语附加题。这一变化主要是为了满足中国经济和行业发展对国际型人才的需要。财政部CPA考试委员会将逐步推广英文附加题到其他考试科目中。据此看来,在CPA各科考试中加试英语将是一个趋势。2、增加英语附加题后,会计、审计、财务成本管理的总分为110分,及格分仍为60分,总体考试时间不变。英语附加题要求用英语回答,所以考生朋友们一定要根据本人英语水平选择作答。有一定英语基础(大学英语四、六级水平,掌握一定的财经英语词汇),打算选答英语附加题的考生朋友应该合理规
2、划和安排时间,在考试时认真阅读试卷首页的特别提示和答题导语,争取尽可能多的在英语附加题上拿分。英语基础较薄弱的考生朋友不要慌乱,心态要放平和,力争前面的100分,如果时间允许可尝试做英语附加题。二、可能的题型因为只有10分的英语题,所以估计出客观题的可能性不大,很有可能是主观题,并且是专业题。题型可能包括:名词解释,英汉互译,问答(理论性的或业务性的)。从2007年会计、审计两门课的英语加试题判断,出业务核算和以计算为主的专业题的可能性较大。三、审计英语讲解Auditing一、鉴证业务与外部审计Assurance engagements and external audit An assura

17、audit work to the important, uncertain, or error-prone items and accounts; (2) as a guide to evaluation of the evidence; (3) as a guide for making decisions about the audit report. Materiality in auditing is perceived in terms of both potential misstatement (in a planning sense) and known or estimat
18、ed misstatement (in an evaluation and reporting decision sense).Auditors must examine both quantitative and qualitative factors when assessing materiality. Some of the common factors auditors use in making materiality judgments are: (1) Absolute Size; (2) Relative Size; (3) Nature of the item or iss

20、risk and Audit evidence.(2) Discuss the criteria which would determine whether the following sale of an asset would be deemed to be material and require disclosure in the financial statements.AB, a public limited company, manufactures engineering parts, and is preparing its financial statements for
21、the year ending 31 December 2007.AB has sold a building to one of its directors who retired on 31 December 2007. The selling price of the building was 500,000 and the company made profit of 200,000 on the transaction. If the building price index rises more than 50 percent in the next two years then
22、a further 100,000 becomes payable by the director. The company does not normally sell building and this transaction is the first of its kind in the company records. The director was earning 400,000 per annum at the time of her retirement.The company normally makes profits of between 40 million and 5
23、0 million but the current years operating profits have dropped to 3 million. The net assets of the company are 400 million and the carrying value of building in the balance sheet is 100 million.Answer:(a) Nature and incidence of the transactionThe company does not normally sell building and this tra
24、nsaction is the first of its kind. Also the transaction is with a related party. Although the profit on the transaction of 200,000 is unlikely to be material from the companys point of view, it is likely to be material to the director, as the cost to the director exceeds her annual salary. When cons
25、idering materiality, the auditor has also to consider the needs of users and so it is likely that this transaction would be considered material by users.(b) SizeThe size of the profit (200,000) is material based on the operating profit, as it accounts for 6.7% of operating profit. But the size of ne
26、t assets makes the sale of building immaterial.(c) DisclosureUnder CAS, the profit on sale of tangible non-current assets may be disclosed separately depending on size. As discussed above, the net profit on sale is 6.7% of operating profit and so could be deemed to be significant; particularly as th
27、is is the first transaction of its type carried out by the company.(d) ContingencyUnder CAS, the auditors also need to consider whether a provision needs to be made for the additional 100,000 that could become payable by the director, within the next two years. The contingency is likely to occur, ot
28、herwise the provision would not be included in the contract. However, is the contingent asset of 100,000 immaterial? Once again, it is down to professional judgment as to whether the contingency is material.Taking all the above items together, it is likely that the sale of the asset is material taki
29、ng particular note of the nature and incidence of the transaction. Therefore it is likely to be disclosed in the accounts, probably in accordance with CAS Related Party Disclosures.4分析性复核程序Analytical proceduresAnalytical procedures are normally used at three stages of the audit: (1) planning, (2) su
