Hi, I am interested in buying this from one ACCA member but only valid until JUne 2019. If I will take the exam on September 2019 and onwards, would this still be applicable?
December 7, 2018 at 7:46 am #488179The 2019-20 syllabus and study guide and exam docs will not be published until the spring of 2019 and any amendments to the syllabus will be summarised on the last page. I would not expect big changes, but I don’t have a crystal ball. So any additions to the syllabus would have to be studied with reference to other resources (ACCA may publish articles) and obviously any topics deleted should be disregarded as not examinable.
December 8, 2018 at 10:58 am #488441Thanks. One more question, it had been recommended to repeat answering revision kits, are these same questions that will come out in the examination?
December 10, 2018 at 8:25 am #488669The purpose of working through past exam questions is to be wholly familiar with exam style and standard questions on wide range of different audit areas so that in the exam you can apply your understanding of audit procedures, etc to the scenario presented. If you have worked through, say, eight exams’ worth of such questions, you can reasonably expect to see familiar requirements in the exams (“describe xxx audit risks …”, “describe substantive procedures …”, “identify and explain xxx deficiencies …”) but the scenarios will always be different, so no two questions will be “the same”. This is just one of the reasons why the examiner positively discourages mere learning of past answers.
