can you give feedback to this questiomn
Hello Paul,
Thank you for reaching out! Could you let me know what part of the explanation you found unclear or if there’s a specific aspect you’d like me to elaborate on? I’d be happy to provide further clarification.
Would the independence of the CPA be considered to be impaired when a CPA practitioner purchases stock and places it in a trust?
can you give feedback
Hello Paul,
As mentioned in the explanation of the question, stock ownership in a client, even if placed in a trust, still constitutes a direct financial interest for the CPA. This is because the CPA retains the ownership of the stock, and the placement of the stock in the trust does not eliminate the direct financial connection to the client.
I hope this makes sense!
Anna and Lucy are sisters. Anna is an employee of Global Inc. and Lucy works as a CPA and audits the financial statements of Global Inc. In which of the following cases would Lucy’s independence be impaired?
Anna owns 7% of Global Inc.
Anna is Global’s CFO.
Anna is an accounting clerk.
Independence is impaired in all cases. (ans)
An auditor’s independence is not considered to be impaired if:
The auditor is an attorney who advises the client as its general counsel.
The auditor has an immaterial, indirect financial interest in a client. )answer
The auditor’s sister is the controller of the audit client.
There is a lawsuit by the client against an audit firm claiming deficiencies in the previous year’s audit.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for reaching out! Could you let me know what part of the explanation you found unclear or if there’s a specific aspect you’d like me to elaborate on? I’d be happy to provide further clarification.
explain further how owning stock through an investment club impairs independence while immaterial closely held investment does not impair independence
Hello Paul,
Owning stock through an investment club impairs independence because the CPA has a direct financial interest in the client through their proportionate ownership in the club’s investments. Even if the CPA does not control the investment decisions of the club, their participation means they share in the ownership of the client’s stock. This creates a direct financial interest, which the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct prohibits, regardless of materiality. Additionally, being part of an investment club implies the CPA may have some level of influence over the club’s investment decisions, further compromising independence.
In contrast, an immaterial interest in a closely held investment does not impair independence because it is considered an indirect financial interest, provided it is immaterial and the CPA has no control or influence over the entity holding the stock. A joint closely held investment refers to situations where a CPA (or other covered member) and a client have a shared ownership interest in an entity. The key difference is that the CPA’s investment is NOT in Carpet in this case.
I hope this helps!
Could you about independence addressed: “Since all rules of conduct apply to members in business except for the independence rule, most of the interpretations of the rules of conduct apply to members in business.”
Hello Paul,
The independence rule applies specifically to members performing attestation services, such as audits, reviews, or other assurance engagements. It does not apply to members in business who are not involved in attestation services.
For members in business (e.g., CPAs working in industry, government, or non-profit organizations), other rules of conduct, such as integrity, objectivity, and due care, still apply, ensuring that they act ethically and without conflicts of interest. Most interpretations of the rules of conduct are relevant to both members in public practice and members in business, but independence is excluded because it is not required outside the context of attest engagements.
I hope this helps!
For question #18, why isn’t the answer “D.) A partner in an office different than the office of the partner responsible for the attest engagement has a direct, immaterial financial interest in the audit client.?”
By different office, are we referring to physical office locations? The way I understand it, it is considered a direct interest since the partner is still part of the same CPA firm as the client’s auditor.
Hello Katrina,
Thank you for your question! The key here lies in the definition of covered members under the AICPA independence rules. A covered member includes individuals who are:
– On the attest engagement team.
– Partners or managers who provide 10 or more hours of non-attest services to an attest client per year.
– In a position to influence the attest engagement.
– Partners in the office in which the lead attest engagement partner practices in connection with an attest engagement
In Choice D, the partner is in an office different from the office of the partner responsible for the attest engagement and is therefore not a covered member. While the partner is part of the same CPA firm, they do not meet the definition of a covered member in this scenario. Their direct, immaterial financial interest does not impair the firm’s independence because they are not in a position to directly influence the engagement.
So yes, the term “different office” refers to a physical office location, and the independence rules consider the separation of roles and offices to evaluate potential conflicts.
I hope this helps clarify! Let me know if you have more questions.
For Q#9: Recommend changing one of the answers to “…against THE audit firm…” versus “against an audit firm…” The way it currently reads is that it is another firm and NOT the current firm.
Hi Darian,
Great observation! I’ve updated the answer choice to read “…against the audit firm….” We appreciate your attention to detail.
