I am using Becker for my review but lately at work when I have some free time I have been using cpareviewforfree.com. Some of their questions are confusing me and I'm wondering if they're even accurate. For example, this one:
Many auditors perform extensive analytical procedures on audits because:
A. They pinpoint errors in the accounts.
B. They indicate areas of potential risk and misstatement.
C. They are required by GAAS.
D. All of the above.
I figured C had to be right because I learned that analytical procedures are required in the planning and final review stages of an audit. B looked right as well, they indicate areas of potential risk and misstatement. So I figured the answer then had to be D.
Wrong. They say the answer is B.
Am I wrong here? Is the key word in the question "extensive?" If it didn't say "extensive," would I be right with D?
