      That’s very much up to you – how much you understood from early study of AA – whether you have any practical experience you can relate to – how well you feel you understand a published answer, etc. You should certainly refer to the “starred” posts at the top of the AAA forums for my prompts to essential technical articles and other resources. Please use the AAA tutor forum to be sure of a response as I check that daily as I don’t check here for comments on a regular basis.

    Hello sir. I have not said thank you but I passed P3 because of you after failing it many times. Your teaching was just great, uncomparable. and I am sure that I will definitely pass P7. If I can get a chance that you teach ratio analysis, I may also pass OBU RAP that I have failed twice. Thank you so much.

      Thank you for your kind words about P3 – congratulations to you.

      Although I still appear on the AAA videos, this paper is now run by the excellent Kim Smith, who used to be an ACCA auditing examiner.

      If you are looking for material on ratio analysis to help with your OBU RAP, perhaps the following would be helpful:

    Hi. Can you please give a practical example of Limited Assurance Engagement. Also, is there any particular ISA which deals with these kind of Engagements?

      If you look at the notes you will find limited assurance considered in more detail later (e.g. in Chapter 26 a review of interim financial statements). The “review standards” (ISREs) that are examinable docs are ISRE 2400, Engagements to Review Historical Financial Statements (applies to review that are not carried out by the auditor) and ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. The titles of docs are a good clue to what they concern – you can download a list from here https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p7/examinable-documents.html

      If you have further questions I reply to posts on the ask the tutor forum every day https://opentuition.com/forum/ask-acca-tutor-forums/ask-the-tutor-acca-advanced-audit-and-assurance-aaa-exams (but only check the comments on lectures from time to time).

    Only you can decide if there is enough time – if you download the relevant “Study guide” from ACCA’s www you will find timetables to help you plan your time.

    Yes it is possible but you will need to plan to study all of SBR before your revise AAA – for example, you will need to have covered IAS 19 in your studies before you can tackle a question involving the audit of pension liabilities.

    Please remember to post questions to forums which are regularly monitored as comments are only reviewed periodically.

    Also would it be best advised if I went through lecture notes and the study guide (156 pages for AAA) and go through past ACCA papers?

      Yes you will need to study thoroughly and then do lots of question practice – see my response to this post https://opentuition.com/topic/passing-the-exam-3/

    Hi

    Is it advisable for me to sit the Advanced Audit Exam before completely Strategic Business Reporting, or will this have an impact on how well I understand the course content and eventually my final score.

    Thanks for you help.

      Such questions need to be posted to the ask the tutor forum and not here as a comment. Since all SBR examinable documents except EDs are assumed knowledge for AAA, ACCA recommends that you sit SBR before AAA.

    Hello,

    I was exempted from F8. Will it create any difficulty while attempting AAA?

    Many Thanks,
    Manav

      Probably. Many AA skills and aspects of knowledge are extended in AAA.
