    • Responsibilities of directors and auditors.

    First Intuition

    • Substantive audit procedures and tests of control on a key area of the statement of financial position,
    eg inventories or non-current assets.

    F8 June 2012 : For sure following are the chapter you cannot ignore if you wanna pass F8. Here are the chapters:
    1. Ethics ( threats and safeguards to independence/ how an auditor accept an appointment )
    2. Planning and risk ( especially Audit risk and its application- should be good at picking risk from scenario and commenting upon them- should also know the definition of audit risk and three components well) / what impact on audit strategy of selected audit risk level.
    3. Internal controls ( something you cant rule out from F8 paper / sales and purchase system looks at top priority)/ Test of controls too
    4.Substantive procedures ( again receivables/ payables/ sales / purchases / inventory looks important)
    5. Review ( Subsequent events / going concern)
    6. Reporting ( looks important – again opinions in a given scenario)

    Apparently F5 was a disaster today. Just read some of the comments on their Forum. Is that what’s in store for us in F8, I wonder? Really scared, folks. Basically, I’d give these tips a wide bearth and revise topics that have not been tipped by anyone!
