June 6, 2014 at 2:54 pm #174646Mubashir, do u have for P2 as well, really need help here.
June 6, 2014 at 3:23 pm #174664Spot on 88% But exam was too lengthy and too much reading that you have no time to think. I looked around and no one finished until last minute. Far too much to do.
I mean if explaining risks and test of controls you have to write briefly unless you are fast at writing which is stupid. I expect quality over quantity.June 6, 2014 at 3:27 pm #174666In fact this list is useless as half the items came up and half didn’t. They mentioned nearly half the syllabus. I mean there are major topics like Audit risk and weaknesses in payroll. But the rest like substantive procedures could be anything and it was on bonus.
