Hey there Mr. Mike, I cant seem to find the topics mentioned in the title covered in the OT notes, and the ACCA syllabus for 2015/2016 says they are examinable. Are the aforementioned topics not very important, hence the reason they have been left out or?
There was an article in Student Accountant on forensic auditing and a question in the past about transnational issues and forensic auditing.
From memory, I think the Kaplan text has one paragraph on transnational audits and maybe half a page on forensics. Make your own mind up about their importance but, let me say this again, the notes and lectures are not, and never have been, claimed to be a substitute for a study text
