Principles exam with correct answers |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




& rationales ||||||




The internal audit activity most directly contributes to an organization's governance process
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




by



A.Evaluating the design of ethics-related activities. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




B.Identifying significant exposures to risk. |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




C.Evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




D.Promoting continuous improvement of controls. - Correct answer ✔A.Evaluating the design |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




of ethics-related activities.
|||||| |||||| ||||||




Answer (A) is correct. Performance Standard 2110 states, "The internal audit activity must
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




assess and make appropriate recommendations to improve the organization's governance
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




processes for: ||||||




Making strategic and operational decisions. |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Overseeing risk management and control. |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Promoting appropriate ethics and values within the organization. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Ensuring effective organizational performance management and accountability.
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Communicating risk and control information to appropriate areas of the organization. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Coordinating the activities of, and communicating information among, the board, external |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




and internal auditors, other assurance providers, and management."
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Thus, in an assurance engagement, the internal audit activity must evaluate the design,
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




implementation, and effectiveness of the organization's ethics-related objectives, programs, |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




and activities. ||||||

Which of the following is not a goal of corporate governance?
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




A.Reporting fully and truthfully to stakeholders. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




B.Providing an overall benefit to society. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




C.Maximizing executive compensation. |||||| ||||||




D.Complying with society's legal and regulatory rules. - Correct answer ✔C.Maximizing |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




executive compensation. ||||||




Answer (C) is correct. Governance practices may use various legal forms, structures,
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




strategies, and procedures. They ensure that the organization (1) complies with society's
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




legal and regulatory rules; (2) satisfies the generally accepted business norms, ethical
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




principles, and social expectations of society; (3) provides overall benefit to society and
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




enhances the interests of the specific stakeholders in both the long- and short-term; and (4)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




reports fully and truthfully to its stakeholders, including the public, to ensure accountability
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




for its decisions, actions, and performances. But maximizing executive compensation is not a
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




goal of corporate governance.
|||||| |||||| ||||||




The internal audit activity most directly contributes to an organization's governance process

C.Identifying significant exposures to risk. |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




D.Evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. - Correct answer |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||
