    can these lectures be used for march exam 2024?
  5. kengarrettTutor
    Yes
  6. kengarrettTutor
    There are no substantial changes for the Sept 2023 syllabus so the notes are essentially unchanged. But note that there aremsubstantial changes to the exam format. See here:

    Hi, where does this definition of fraud come from?

    Its different the 2006 act, but I prefer the one you give here. Thanks
  12. kengarrettTutor
    It is paraphrased from IFAC's definition in Auditing Standard 240 which is:

    "An intentional act by one or more individuals among management, those charged with governance, employees, or third parties, involving the use of deception to obtain an unjust or illegal advantage."

    Dear Ken,

    I was wondering why we note "bribing a foreign public official" separately under types of bribery, given that this amounts to "bribing another person." I'm guessing there's a specific rationale and am hoping you could share/elaborate?
  20. kengarrettTutor
    It is the approach taken by UK legislation.

    The rationale is that it is potentially much more serious to be involved in bribing a foreign public official than bribing, say, someone in a private business. Amounts involved could be huge. Arguably, defrauding a country and its citizens is more immoral than defrauding private investors. In addition, if discovered, there is likely to be very adverse publicity.

    Hallo sir, how can i download these lessons because to watch direct here its expensive due to our tariffs data the are so high. So guide me so that i can be able following offline.
  22. opentuition_teamAdmin
    Downloading is not possible - and in any case - downloading would use exactly the same amount of data! so it is actually better for you to watch them on demand - as you go!

    You can save them with youtube setting 'watch later' to watch without connection

    Hi,

    I am preparing for the june exam and sitting for second time..I feel i lacked to test myself in model exams and see how i am able to apply what i learnt before the exam attempt..Can you advice on where to attempt model papers and how to evaluate myself?
  26. jawwad1998
    Are there any suggested questions to practice after each SBL lecture ? I have seen them at the end of APM lectures but cant find in SBL lectures.
  27. opeyemiogundele
    1st attempt what are critical factors for succes
  28. kengarrettTutor
    Question practice and critical evaluation of your answers compared to the model answers.

    Where possible, use common sense first then attach suitable theoretical models to that. Do not explain models: use them.
  29. Mehedi
    Good lecture
  30. asantewaaomane
    Critical Factors for Success are those few limited areas of a business that things must be done right for a company to gain competitive advantage

    Compared to the lecture notes. The six principles are missing the risk assessment point.
