Inside Auditing & Ethics

ICAI Study Material · May 2026 edition
  1. Nature, Objective and Scope of AuditWhat audit is and is not, reasonable assurance vs absolute — the conceptual chapter case scenarios use as the backstory for every MCQ.
  2. Audit Strategy, Audit Planning and Audit ProgrammeOverall strategy vs detailed plan, how auditors decide where to focus — planning case scenarios are the second-most tested cluster after evidence.
  3. Risk Assessment and Internal ControlInherent, control, detection risk, COSO framework — the risk model underpins every case scenario; the risk triangle is a must-know.
  4. Audit EvidenceWhat counts as sufficient appropriate evidence — the SA cluster case scenarios love most; every SAQP question begins here.
  5. Audit of Items of Financial StatementsAssertions, substantive procedures for specific line items — the most mark-dense chapter; expect 2–3 case scenario questions on this every attempt.
  6. Audit DocumentationWorking papers, ownership, retention, SA 230 specifics — short chapter, reliable 5-mark theory or MCQ block; students skip it and regret it.
  7. Completion and ReviewSubsequent events, going concern, written representations, SA 560/570/580 — the three SAs that appear together in almost every case scenario.
  8. Audit ReportUnmodified vs modified opinions, emphasis of matter, key audit matters — understanding what triggers each opinion type is the exam skill here.
  9. Special Features of Audit of Different Type of EntitiesNGO, government, small entity audit differences — tested as comparison-style questions; NGO audit receipts-and-payments format is a favourite.
  10. Audit of BanksLong-form audit report, NPA classification, LFAR elements — a dedicated chapter because bank audit is a real-world CA responsibility; 8 marks most attempts.
  11. Ethics and Terms of Audit EngagementsICAI Code of Ethics, independence threats, engagement letter contents — ethical dilemma MCQs and engagement-letter scenarios tested every sitting.

Chapter list as per the current ICAI New Scheme study material. Every Pookie question cites its ICAI source; solutions follow ICAI marking-scheme structure.
