You can make a mitigation claim after the results are released. I suppose.

Call ACCA and ask them. I had to do it before but can’t remember how of the top of my head. But u can do it as soon as you have had your exam!

Hey guys thanks! Yeah I gave them a call and they added a section for me to send a mitigating circumstances appeal, now all I can do is hope for the best

Thought the paper was ok, usual mix of easy marks and some made you wonder what was actually being asked for.

Had the Technical problems too, invigilator locked my system while I popped to the bathroom and then couldn’t unlock it, had to sit outside for 15 mins while he ran around phoning the exam team/ACCA for help. Had the time added back on but it wasn’t easy sitting back down and getting in the zone for the last hour.

That was exactly the problem I had! Although in my case they tried logging me onto another computer and it said that I had not started the exam at all. They were unable to restore my save state and we decided send a backup of what I had attempted to mark with a report of the issue.

That’s exactly the same issue I had, although in my case they tried logging me onto another computer and it said that I had not started the exam at all with all questions unseen. In the end, they were unable to restore my save state so I couldn’t continue but they were able to obtain a backup of my work (I didn’t see it so I hope it’s right). We decided to send the backup for marking with a report, not the best case but oh well! C’est la vie

I also don’t think I passed, the mcq’s were fairly difficult in my opinion. Also there was a key audit matter question which stumped me.

To be honest, I don’t mind too much and I am just treating it as a learning experience, no more going to the toilet! At this point it’s probably best to not worry and hope for the best!

How did you find the risk question ?

I had the system was new so risk over completeness of sales etc – so extra sales testing
Fraud – Professional Sceptism
Profit for Bank Loan ?? – Professional Sceptism
Bank Loan Three Years, risk that it isnt split between current and non current liabilities – Recalculate

I personally think i failed the exam but i enjoyed the 30 marker, did you have fraud responsibilities of auditor next ? and ethics.

Oh god, I’ll be honest I cannot remember lol. But that audit risk question doesn’t sound familiar so either I completely failed or we had a different question, hopefully for me the latter. I do remember having a small question on ethics like 4 marks but I don’t remember much apart from something about a luxury hotel.

Sorry I honestly can’t remember! I did section B first so I completely forgot about it

Audit risk was asked? I only saw ethics, controls and substantives

I believe there were a few differences in the papers people had, it seemed like they had a few different sets of papers and you randomly got one. I personally had audit risk as part of my 30 marker, but you may have had something different.

Ah it seems like my messages aren’t sending for some reason!

@avbosip and @claireday88, Thanks guys! Yeah I gave them a call and they added a section on MyACCA to report mitigating circumstances. All that’s left is to hope for the best!

@Wayne That was the same technical issue I had! Although in my case they tried logging me into another computer and it said that I had not started the exam at all with all questions unseen.

They were unable to restore my save state so I couldn’t continue my exam but they were able to obtain a backup of my work (me being an idiot forgot to ask to check it so I can only hope it’s correct). We decided to send the backup for marking with a report of the issue, not the best case scenario but oh well! C’est la vie

[eighteighteight]

Hey guys I hope it went well! (or at least as well as it could go)

I was wondering if anyone knew how to request mitigating circumstances on MyACCA? To keep it short, my work didn’t automatically save when I went to the toilet because of technical issues. The invigilator advised me to send a mitigating circumstances complaint through MyACCA but I can’t seem to find this under the “Exams” section.
