The following portion of the test includes several Case Studies. Each Case Study includes introductory information about a specific company or audit situation, followed immediately by a set of questions related to the situation described and various audit-related documents, identified by company name.
All of the audit-related documents for these Case Studies are presented in a separate booklet labeled:
CONFIDENTIAL
Audit Documents
These documents were drawn from actual companies and are designed to be examples of genuine audit materials. Their format and contents have not been altered, and they are intended to represent working documents from everyday situations.
Although the documents for the Case Studies are presented separately, the test will be scored as a whole, on a total of 150 questions. You may go back and check your work on any part of the examination until time is called at the end of the testing period.
