Sample UPSSSC Auditor Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the UPSSSC Auditor exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which accounting concept dictates that a business enterprise is separate and distinct from its owners?
A.Going Concern Concept
B.Business Entity Concept
C.Money Measurement Concept
D.Dual Aspect Concept
Explanation: The Business Entity Concept treats the business as a separate accounting entity distinct from its owners. Therefore, personal transactions of the owners are not recorded in the business accounts unless they affect the business capital. (This is an accounting convention and does not by itself create a separate legal entity for every form of business.)
2Which of the following errors is not disclosed/detected by the preparation of a Trial Balance?
A.Error of posting an item to the wrong side of an account
B.Arithmetic error in totaling the ledger accounts
C.Complete omission of a transaction from the books of original entry
D.Double posting of an entry to one ledger account
Explanation: A complete omission of a transaction means no debit and no credit entry was made. Because the dual aspect was completely skipped, both sides of the Trial Balance remain equal, making this error undetectable by the Trial Balance.
3Under the double-entry system, a purchase of machinery on credit from a vendor should be recorded by:
A.Debiting Cash Account and Crediting Machinery Account
B.Debiting Machinery Account and Crediting Creditor/Vendor Account
C.Debiting Purchases Account and Crediting Vendor Account
D.Debiting Vendor Account and Crediting Machinery Account
Explanation: Machinery is an asset, and under the rules of real accounts, we debit what comes in. Since it is purchased on credit, we credit the personal account of the vendor/creditor who is the giver of the asset.
4Which of the following is a nominal account?
A.Outstanding Salary Account
B.Prepaid Insurance Account
C.Interest Receivable Account
D.Bad Debts Account
Explanation: Nominal accounts are accounts related to expenses, losses, incomes, and gains. The Bad Debts Account represents a business loss and is closed at the end of the financial year by transferring its balance to the Profit & Loss Account.
5What is the primary purpose of preparing a Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS)?
A.To calculate the net cash profit earned by the business
B.To reconcile the difference between the Cash Book cash column and Cash Book bank column
C.To identify and reconcile differences between the Cash Book bank column and the Bank Pass Book balance
D.To find out the correct value of closing inventory
Explanation: A BRS is prepared to explain and reconcile the causes of differences between the bank balance shown in the cash book of the business and the balance shown in the bank passbook (or bank statement) on a specific date.
6If a cheque issued by a business is not presented for payment in the bank, what will be the effect on the Cash Book and Pass Book balances?
A.Cash Book balance will be lower than the Pass Book balance
B.Cash Book balance will be higher than the Pass Book balance
C.There will be no difference between the two balances
D.Both balances will reduce simultaneously
Explanation: When a cheque is issued, it is immediately credited (deducted) in the Cash Book, reducing its balance. However, because it has not yet been presented to the bank, the bank has not debited the account, leaving the Pass Book balance higher.
7Under which chapter of the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 are guidelines for the procurement of goods and services primarily detailed?
A.Chapter 4
B.Chapter 6
C.Chapter 8
D.Chapter 10
Explanation: Chapter 6 of the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 governs the 'Procurement of Goods and Services,' outlining rules, procedures, and thresholds for local purchase committees, tenders, and contracting.
8Under GFR 2017 Rule 154 (as amended), purchase of goods up to what value on each occasion may be made without inviting quotations or bids?
A.₹15,000
B.₹25,000
C.₹50,000
D.₹1,00,000
Explanation: GFR 2017 Rule 154 (as amended by the Department of Expenditure) allows purchase of goods up to ₹50,000 on each occasion without inviting quotations or bids, on the basis of a certificate recorded by the competent authority. The earlier limit of ₹25,000 was revised upward.
9Which of the following is a revenue expenditure?
A.Cost of extending a factory building to increase capacity
B.Registration fees paid on the purchase of a new plot of land
C.Cost of annual painting and white-washing of the existing office building
D.Custom duty paid on the import of new plant machinery
Explanation: Annual maintenance, painting, and white-washing are recurring expenses incurred to maintain the asset in working condition without increasing its capacity or life, making it a revenue expenditure.
10Which of the following accounting concepts states that accounting methods should remain uniform and unchanged from one financial year to another?
A.Prudence Concept
B.Consistency Concept
C.Materiality Concept
D.Matching Concept
Explanation: The Consistency Concept requires that accounting policies and methods (e.g., depreciation methods, inventory valuation) should remain the same across periods to enable meaningful comparison of financial statements.
