Question 1 of 1175

The top three sales representatives for a company consistently include non-allowable charges on their expense reports. Line management is reluctant to deny reimbursement of the charges for fear of losing the sales representatives. This situation has the greatest negative impact on which of the following internal control components?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

The situation described has the greatest negative impact on the control environment component of internal control. The control environment sets the tone for the organization, influencing the control consciousness of its people. It includes the integrity, ethical values, and competence of the entity’s people; management's philosophy and operating style; and the way management assigns authority and responsibility, and organizes and develops its people. In this case, the reluctance to deny reimbursement for non-allowable charges due to fear of losing top sales representatives indicates a weak control environment where ethical standards and integrity are being compromised.

Question 2 of 1175

Which of the following factors affects the control risk of a company?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

Unusual pressures on management can affect the control risk of a company. Control risk is the risk that a company’s internal controls will not prevent or detect a material misstatement. If management is under unusual pressures, they may override internal controls or manipulate financial information, increasing the overall control risk. Other factors such as technological obsolescence, complex accounts, or segregation of duties are either unrelated to control risk or directly related to other types of risks such as operational or inherent risks.

Question 3 of 1175

Human resources and payroll are separate departments. Which of the following combinations would provide the best segregation of duties.

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

Separating employee authorization from payroll processing reduces the opportunity to create fictitious employees or divert payments. Human resources adds employees, while payroll independently processes hours and maintains bank account information for automated deposits. This divides personnel-record responsibility from payment processing and avoids physical paycheck delivery, which could permit theft or concealment. The alternatives give human resources responsibility for both employee setup and paycheck delivery, or give payroll improper authority to add employees.

Question 4 of 1175

Which of the following is an appropriate role for the board in governance?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

One appropriate role for the board in governance is ensuring that the financial statements are understandable, transparent, and reliable. This aligns with the board's responsibility to provide oversight and ensure accountability for financial reporting, thereby safeguarding the interests of stakeholders. Preparing written policies, assisting internal audits, or developing litigation strategies are tasks more aligned with management or specialist roles rather than the governance oversight provided by the board.

Question 5 of 1175

According to the International Professional Practices Framework, which of the following is the appropriate division of responsibilities for the coordination of internal and external audit efforts?

I. Oversight of Work -

Coordination of Activities -

Chief audit executive -

Senior management -

II. Board -

Chief audit executive -

III. Chief financial officer -

Chief audit executive -

IV. Board -

Chief financial officer -

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

According to the International Professional Practices Framework, the appropriate division of responsibilities for the coordination of internal and external audit efforts should involve oversight of the work by the board and the coordination of activities by the chief audit executive. This ensures that the top-level governance (the board) is overseeing the audit process while operational coordination is managed by the professional responsible for auditing.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
