Question
Which is not true of the following statements?Group of answer choicesDiscovery of fraudulent transactions depends on the preparation and skill of the auditorsThe risk of the auditor not detecting a material misstatement resulting from management fraud is greater than for employee fraud,The discovery of a material misstatement of the financial statements resulting from fraud does not, in itself, indicate a failure tocomply with PSAsThe risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from error
Solution
The statement that is not true among the given choices is: "The discovery of a material misstatement of the financial statements resulting from fraud does not, in itself, indicate a failure to comply with PSAs".
This is not true because the discovery of a material misstatement resulting from fraud could indeed indicate a failure to comply with Professional Standards of Auditing (PSAs). The PSAs require auditors to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud. Therefore, if a material misstatement due to fraud is discovered, it could suggest that the auditors did not comply with the PSAs.
