    Hi Sir,
    I hope you are doing great.

    I am preparing for the AA exam and have three questions inter-connected.

    1. If the model answer has not provided the answer we have suggested, would we get credit if the answer is technically correct?

    2. I rarely meet the model answer suggested by the examiner. Will I be provided full marks for the particular requirement even if the answer I provide does not corroborate with the model answer?

    2. If we write the knowledge-based requirements in our own words and depart from the book definition, would I be penalized?

    Thank you.

    All technically correct answer points RELEVANT to the question set will be given credit. Definitions are rarely called for and even if they are answers are not required to be verbatim.

    Please see my sticky post at the top of this forum https://opentuition.com/forum/acca-forums/acca-aa-audit-and-assurance-forums (it’s about 7th post down – ALL my posts here are essential reading):

    “How to score marks in AA – essential guidance” gives invaluable insights into what will be credited in the exam.
