I found the paper to be quite interesting but challenging as well. Text book knowledge alone would not have seen you through! This paper required someone to think out of the box and heavily apply the cases to their answers.. I think for this sitting, the examiner really wanted to emphasise on that aspect, that its not enough to know the book from A-Z but application of concepts is key. Even without constructing a risk matrix or TARA on the risk part of Q1, one could easily get half the marks for that part of the Q provided their reasoning was logical and well explained. For the letter, highlighting the fact that Gavin Hoo was new to the job and that his policies and attitude to int control would be much better than those set by his predecessor would have been a bonus. All three options were attemptable but Q2 and 3 seemed fair. Q4 carried the small risk of saying to much with little substance and thus failing to finish on time. Not that it was any harder than the other 2.
