(1) 考官曾一针见血的指出:很多考生在阅读案例时‘钻牛角尖’,精力集中在一些不重要话题的细节上,写出自己知道的所有知识,不管是否跟所问的话题相关。
(2) 考官案例中有很多重要的信息提示跟考官要求相关,考生一定要抓住和利用这些重要信息,来全面解释和回答考官所设的问题和要求。
(3) 考生一定要在平时训练中能够准确理解各种问题的要求,根据每个要求所给的分数设计答题框架, 排除不相关点(节省时间),把答题框架内的相关点描述的简练完整准确。
(4) 很多考生在答题时,简单背诵会计准则,没有跟案例中具体会计事件相关。因此,考生一定要学会根据具体的会计事件,灵活应用会计准则评估错报风险,设计适当的审计程序等。
(5) 最新准则需要学习:比如收入准则,租赁准则,审计报告准则
(6) 在分析考官要求时要弄清楚:案例中的事件发生在审计循环或流程中的哪一个阶段(audit planning stage, audit completion stage, audit reporting stage). 不同阶段要求做的事情是不同的,这将给考生一个回答问题的参考点。
✦ Audit planning stage:Risk assessment and audit procedures
✦ Audit completion stage: audit evidence *uation, additional audit procedures
✦ Audit reporting stage: effect of matters on audit opinion and audit report
