I believe misstatements that are not related to fraud or misappropriation can also impact the financial statements, so they should be considered as well.

But do you think we should also consider misstatements that are not related to fraud or misappropriation?

I agree with User1, misstatements arising from both fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of assets should be considered.

I'm with you all on this. But you know, if I were the examiner, I might try to throw in a tricky one like 'Neither A nor B' just to see who's really paying attention!

Exactly! The auditor's main focus is on identifying any intentional or fraudulent misstatements, as those pose a much greater risk to the financial statements. Unintentional errors are still important, but they're not the primary concern.

That's a fair point, Layla. But I think the key distinction here is that the question is specifically about misstatements that are 'considered relevant for audit purposes.' Honest mistakes, while important, are often easier to identify and correct.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. What about misstatements that arise from honest mistakes or oversights? Shouldn't those be considered relevant as well?

I agree with Cristy. These two types of misstatements are the core focus of an audit, as they can significantly impact the financial statements. Ignoring either of these would be a major oversight.

This is a great question! Clearly, the examiner is trying to test our understanding of the types of misstatements that are relevant for audit purposes. I think the answer is C - both misstatements from fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of assets are relevant.
