Group 17: Other Audits
30 original test MCQs. 2 marks each. Separate practice and test sets.
Original practice, not ICAI questions, official suggested answers or an official examiner scheme. Equivalent correct work is credited within the stated caps. Public practice availability is not full official question-bank completion.
State-law, tax exemption and mandatory LLP thresholds are not guessed; the module and ICAI guide OR wording is preserved pending current MCA rule verification.

AUD-G17-T001 · 2 marksA town grant pays only for approved water projects. Officials use grant cash to clear a general-office overdraft, with no approved variation. Which distinction matters?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Cash payment and bank agreement do not establish use for the donor-approved object.
Inspect the actual grant and variation authority; determine eligibility/refund from those terms, not a universal municipal rule.
AUD-G17-T002 · 2 marksA building appears in a local-body property register but is missing from the assessment list. An officer says no tax can be due because no demand was raised. What is best?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Check chargeability and assessment/exemption evidence against the independent property population.
The revenue completeness test starts beyond recorded demands; missing assessment does not itself establish exemption or a quantified charge.
AUD-G17-T003 · 2 marksA supplied programme funds 120 working streetlights. Records show 120 installed, but night testing finds 96 working. What performance statement is correct?
Explanation
Correct answer D: 80% functional output is supported;24 installed lights need investigation/remediation.
96/120=.8;24 notworking. Actual scheme conditions determine compliance and any recovery.
AUD-G17-T004 · 2 marksAn NGO receives Rs 11 lakh for project expenses but spends only Rs 7 lakh on eligible work. Its agreement requires unused funds returned; management buys a general office asset with the Rs 4 lakh balance. What should be tested?
Explanation
Correct answer B: Purpose compliance and the Rs 4 lakh unearned/refundable position, not automatic eligibility from spending cash.
Donor terms govern this exercise; paying for an unrelated asset does not eliminate the grant condition.
AUD-G17-T005 · 2 marksA grant relates to a depreciable asset. The exercise adopts the NPO guide recommended deferred-income approach. The NGO credits all grant to income on purchase. Which evidence/criteria matter?
Explanation
Correct answer D: Useful-life/depreciation-linked systematic recognition and separately disclosed unamortised deferred income.
NPO guide 49(a)(ii)recommends deferred income allocated with depreciation; apply the supplied policy rather than all-framework universal claims.
AUD-G17-T006 · 2 marksAn NGO decides a restricted donor fund can be used for salaries merely because its board redesignates it. No donor approval permits this. What is wrong?
Explanation
Correct answer D: Internal redesignation does not remove an external donor restriction.
Distinguish contributor restrictions, internal designation and allowable programme cost by actual agreement.
AUD-G17-T007 · 2 marksA proprietor agrees in writing that only one shop's records will be checked. The output is requested as assurance on the entire five-shop business. What is proper?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Do not imply whole-business audit assurance without sufficient scope and evidence.
Written scope is necessary but does not justify a misleading larger assurance claim.
AUD-G17-T008 · 2 marksA firm's deed requires Rs 2 lakh reserve before profit division 2:1. Profit before reserve is Rs 14 lakh and no other adjustments apply. What is the smaller partner's share?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Rs 4 lakh.
14-2=12 divisible;one-third=4. The exercise supplies the reserve, not a universal partnership rate.
AUD-G17-T009 · 2 marksA dormant partner worries that the working partner sold firm equipment outside deed powers. Which special audit work is fitting?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Inspect agreed powers, approvals, disposal terms, receipts and effect on partner interests.
Partnership scope includes agreed objects/powers and prejudicial conduct; verify the actual disposal and accounts.
AUD-G17-T010 · 2 marksAn LLP agreement specifies different profit percentages for two partners, but accounts divide profit equally without evidence of change. Which action is justified?
Explanation
Correct answer D: Check the agreement and authorised changes, then reconcile partner-wise allocations and current accounts.
Partner-fund disclosures and agreement evidence support accurate allocation; no statutory threshold is needed here.
AUD-G17-T011 · 2 marksA review pack changes the official guide's Rule 24 exemption wording from OR to AND without reading current MCA rules. What is the safe source handling?
Explanation
Correct answer A: Preserve the source wording, disclose the unresolved current-rule check and avoid a threshold-driven verdict.
The official 2023 guide and module print OR. Current mandatory-threshold advice remains held pending primary-rule verification.
AUD-G17-T012 · 2 marksA charity claims a legacy receivable solely from a fundraising brochure saying a benefactor "plans to leave money". What evidence is needed?
Explanation
Correct answer D: Inspect legal/correspondence evidence of actual entitlement and applicable recognition conditions.
Legacy and donation evidence must substantiate the actual right/receipt; publicity is not conclusive entitlement.
AUD-G17-T013 · 2 marksA charity rents property at supplied Rs 12000 monthly. Twelve months accrued, bank receipts Rs 120000 and no waiver. What should the rent audit reconcile?
Explanation
Correct answer D: Rs 144000 earned rent and Rs 24000 uncollected, subject to recoverability and evidence.
12 x 12000=144000;144000-120000=24000. Inspect tenancy/rent roll and assessment of collection.
AUD-G17-T014 · 2 marksA college refunds a student's caution deposit before clearing supported hostel dues that the supplied rules require settled first. What audit concern arises?
Explanation
Correct answer D: Test hostel-dues recovery and refund authority; the refund does not prove dues were settled.
Module fee/deposit checks include clearing hostel dues before closing student accounts; apply actual supplied rules.
AUD-G17-T015 · 2 marksPrize investment income exceeds prizes paid. The supplied endowment deed requires accumulating and investing the excess with corpus. What should be tested?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Separate investment/fund records and whether excess income was accumulated and invested as required.
Endowment purpose and investment separation need evidence; entity label creates neither spending discretion nor exemption.
AUD-G17-T016 · 2 marksThe school receives a government grant with Rs 60000 cost disallowed under the supplied agreement. Accounts include it in grant-eligible cost without explanation. What is needed?
Explanation
Correct answer D: Inspect the disallowance reasons, donor criteria and proper grant/expense consequences separately.
A cost can be an entity expense while ineligible for this grant; determine refund/recognition from the actual terms.
AUD-G17-T017 · 2 marksHospital linen issues have no ward authorisation, and purchases are entered only from supplier totals. Which controls should be tested together?
Explanation
Correct answer A: Receipt/issue records, inventory reconciliation and authorised ward requisitions.
Hospital stores audit covers recording purchases and issuing against proper authority; movement testing complements counts.
AUD-G17-T018 · 2 marksA hospital budget overrun of Rs 5 lakh is documented as emergency oxygen procurement. Which conclusion should not be automatic?
Explanation
Correct answer B: That the overrun alone proves misappropriation or a fixed modified opinion.
Budget comparison prompts explanation/authority/evidence checks; overspending is not itself proof of theft.
AUD-G17-T019 · 2 marksA hospital holds shares shown in an investment register but has no dividend receipt for the year. What is appropriate?
Explanation
Correct answer B: Inspect investment rights, declaration/entitlement and actual collection before assuming income was due or missing.
Module investment-income work compares holdings/receipts and investigates omissions; declaration and entitlement need grounding.
AUD-G17-T020 · 2 marksMembers' subscriptions paid for next year are included in this year's accrued income. Membership tariffs and periods are supplied. What adjustment issue arises?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Separate the next-year advance from current earned subscriptions.
Subscription audit covers arrears and advances; verify each payment's period and account.
AUD-G17-T021 · 2 marksA club secretary buys equipment above the financial limit in the bylaws without committee approval. The equipment exists. Which response is best?
Explanation
Correct answer C: Audit the asset/payment and report the authority breach for proper committee handling.
Financial powers and asset existence are different assertions; inspect purchase, title, authority and reporting.
AUD-G17-T022 · 2 marksA cinema's advertiser contract pays Rs 2500 per verified slide-show. Exhibit logs support 60 shows, but invoices cover 48. No authorised waiver exists. What billing gap is supported?
Explanation
Correct answer A: Rs 30000 from 12 unbilledshows.
(60-48)x 2500=30000. Slide-exhibit logs/agreement test this income stream separately from tickets.
AUD-G17-T023 · 2 marksA cinema replaces a machine with a distinct new projector but cites the module's blanket "no capitalisation" repair sentence to expense it automatically. What is sound?
Explanation
Correct answer B: Test actual substance and applicable recognition criteria rather than apply a repair rule to every new asset.
Routine repairs and a new asset differ. Source shortcut is held; actual framework/contract evidence drives classification.
AUD-G17-T024 · 2 marksA hire-purchase account is current in the ledger, but bank statements show two scheduled instalments unpaid. What is needed?
Explanation
Correct answer B: Reconcile due dates, actual receipts, arrears and allocation rather than accept the ledger status.
Signed agreement, schedule and receipts determine regular payment and arrears; fees need actual terms.
AUD-G17-T025 · 2 marksA lessor holds an invoice but no lessee acceptance or delivery evidence for leased equipment. Which claim remains unsupported?
Explanation
Correct answer A: That the equipment was received and accepted at the stated lessee site.
Leasing procedures include proposal, invoice, acceptance and location/contract controls; invoice alone is not all delivery evidence.
AUD-G17-T026 · 2 marksRestaurant gross margin declines while the hotel's stock transfers between outlets lack documentation. What is the fitting response?
Explanation
Correct answer A: Test transfers, counts, pricing, wastage and revenue, and expand work according to evidence.
Portable inventory and outlet controls need movement evidence; report effects depend on supported matters, not a margin-only shortcut.
AUD-G17-T027 · 2 marksA hotel collects Rs 40000 for a hall event after year-end, with no service delivered yet. Under supplied accrual criteria, how is the receipt treated?
Explanation
Correct answer A: Advance liability rather than earned current hall income.
Bookings must be tested for earning period/cut-off; future-service deposit does not establish current revenue.
AUD-G17-T028 · 2 marksA hotel uses a professional stock valuer and proposes cancelling every count/pricing audit test. What is wrong?
Explanation
Correct answer B: Outside valuation does not remove the auditor's need to assess reliability and evidence for the recorded inventory.
The module discusses assessing external-valued inventory; independence alone is not automatic sufficiency or zero further work.
AUD-G17-T029 · 2 marksA society publishes a compliant-looking balance sheet but cannot produce underlying bills, receipts or ledger. What audit distinction matters?
Explanation
Correct answer A: Presentation is not evidence that proper underlying records were maintained or balances supported.
Inspect actual records applicable to the entity and maintain evidence of work/explanations; appearance is not account support.
AUD-G17-T030 · 2 marksAn auditor's trust file contains only final totals, without work performed, source explanations or decisions. What should the working papers provide?
Explanation
Correct answer B: Evidence supporting the opinion, including work, sources, explanations and significant decisions.
Module trust/society working-paper guidance lists work and authorship, information sources and decisions; final arithmetic is insufficient.
Official concept links appear with each question. The source hold is included in the review pack. No blanket 2026 statutory completeness is claimed; supplied mandate/criteria and visible source holds apply.
