    international&paper. version was ok .
    You had to write too quickly to catch it all. Data analytics I was expecting that to appear and was glad to see it.I struggled.with the procedures on segmental information and the quality control seemed bit odd but ok,maybe because it was the last one I was tired.
    Q1
    a travel group company ,new client with 3 segments.Part a required for 25marks. Audit risks, b. audit procedures. for segmental information around 8 marks I think…. c. matters to consider for acceptance on advice for social&environmental 8 marks. d. 5 marks for data analysis benefits
    Q2
    a. it had a sale on division.
    at carrying value of 45m, value in. use. 41m and value to sell less. costs of distribution 42m. Management had made a write down on 41. Division was about to sell August and year end is March. Management does not want to disclose, or has made any other changes. i. consider the matter. ii implications on auditor report.
    IFR16 the company has used the ifrs for the very fisrt time and has not make changes on last years figures nor disclosures i. consider the matter ii. implications in auditors report if no changes made. 15 marks
    b.Matters to consider on acceptance of a new group client 10 marks.
    Q3
    quality control question
    a.given the hrs per partner 2, manager. 8, senior 10 and assistants 130 hours .Comment that assistants had made the most of the work. Partner has spent another 40 hours on specific non-audit. Audit fee 280.000 and specific non-audit 890.000. Unmodified opinion the last 8 years. The last 8 yeas same audit partner.Going concern matter approached by the assistant , who reviewed the 5 major contracts that Management defined and gave her, and reached to conclusion that like past years there is no uncertainty. 15 marks maybe
    b.on other matter social & environmental, what are the auditors responsibilities what implication it has if no amendment made and sth else. That’s all I remember. Whoever. remembers more. please share among with answers.

    Well ,let me share my thoughts with you about the exam..I don’t quite agree it was fair paper.Comparing with the specimen one it was much more difficult ..mcqs required much time calculation etc,anyway that was ok though.Question one about leaning rate said the incremental COST of 8th unit required..on a similar question on Kaplan I think it had sth like this and the solution was : average time for 8, the total time of 8 multiply with 8 and then with cost(so we have the cost of first 8) gave me 3k sth. then average time for 7,total time for 7multiply with 7 and then total cost for 7multiply this with 15labour this was sth 2k sth..then the incremental cost for 8th is the difference of those two..i got 550 sth so 240materials and 550 I think I got..For sure I got confused sth anyway..Question 2 on relevant ok(don’t like this topic but it was ok I think)Question 3 with TPAR ok very confusing with the whole hours thing..Question 4 barnacled scorecard actually good one first part just knowledge second ok easy but required time if I had more I could have said many more.Question 5 variances ok so confusing..First attempt to find actual in std proportion really pissed me off!!I did what some of you said 181.500 multiply with 0.25 and 0.5 and 0.6 divided each with 1.35..but if you do so the sum of mix prop is not equal to 181.500..so sth was wrong..at all the questions at Kaplan and bbp I think the std mix in actual proportion was always as the total actual it just changes the proportions not the sum..So???yield was ok..I don’t know what I have mistaken,I will sit on June again..anyway good luck to all of us.

    Hello tutor,
    I am also thinking to attempt F9 this december for the first time .I wanted to ask about the book,I have one of kaplan’s 13 with 21chapters (548 pages last chapter asnwers and questions) and I have ordered the new exam kit again Kaplan’s . Can you tell me if the text book I have is enough and no changes have been made on the new book?

    Also I want your advise about the book I should read,because I don’t know how much time I will devote on F9 (my priority is to resit F5 so I will emphasise on F5)if I don’t have enough time is it better to study from your notes on F9 which are much more less pages and then the exam kit for practice or Kaplan’s text book which is enhanced ?
    Thank you.

    Hello John,
    I have a query regarding the F5 on December 2014 I am planning to resit.
    You keep saying that the syllabus for December has not changed only the structure of the exam lay out.But on the acca site they say that regarding the syllabus there were no deletion but there are some additions ..If we have additions doesn’t that mean that this is a change?Or I am confused?Thank you in advance.
