Answer 1

A 31. The correct answer is option (A) that all employees are properly trained to carry out their assigned duties.

Option B shows Existence, Option C shows Occurrence and Option D shows Valuation & Allocation. Option A shows no assertion.

A 32. The correct answer is option (C) The board of Directors must certify quarterly and annually their organization’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Section 302 dictates that the principal executive officer and chief financial officer sign and review their annual or quarterly report testifying to SOX compliance and not what is written in option (C)
