I guess the answer was A. 16575 if I am not wrong. I erote A. but dont remember the figure
December 6, 2016 at 1:02 am #354356There was an mcq with four circumstances that could present a material or going concern risk. The answers were 3% of profit, 5% of something, 10% of something and a statement. I wasn’t sure whether the 4th statement was a risk and went with just statements 2 and 3. Sorry this is pretty vague.. does anyone else remember this? What did you answer?o

Lots Of B’s And C’s I Got….Wrote Preconditions -Ratios questions were nice , but some ratios fluctuated in opposite way from previous papers , so i couldnt Surely think whether they were increasing or decreasing- Hope i Got everything well,since i did mainly from Question Weakness.
Done that 2 marks question-Defiencies Strengths found 3, Done Weakness too .
Q-18, Used my mind in substantive Procedures , Gave General Answers-quite Tough .For last part I mesntioned- by auditor judgement he may mention it as key audit matter ,
Or considering materiality he should give “Quali. fied opinion Except for ……”Basis of opinion section above opion should be mentioned .
But in new technical article , Basis of opinion was mentioned below the opinion section . So i mentioned that in Note.( In recent techincal Article ………………………)
Hope I Got through This paper , But I wana know about My MCQs as i did all these in last 30 minutes , because of rough i did in some ratio Calculation .December 6, 2016 at 3:31 am #354364can someone share the substantive procedures in Q18 l found it very tough.
December 6, 2016 at 5:39 am #354370Another MCQ was with the new client and how can you figure the amount of transactions with the new client. I remember I put A, it was something with reviewing the sales orders after the year end.

I put a, think the figure was 16,740,000.I put the same, this took into account the 2% pay rise which occurred in January. If you didn’t factor in the pay rise the amount would have been 16,893,000.

I remember I put A, it was something with reviewing the sales orders after the year end.Yea even i chose option A. Sales orders are external evidence aren’t they? So it should probably be the most reliable evidence among all four options.

Option 4 is not a threat to the going concern. (10% on profit). I went with option 3 and 2 i guess. Major supplier pulling off with many unfulfilled orders and other one. Don’t remember the third option.
December 6, 2016 at 7:40 am #354401YES, i’ve written the same
December 6, 2016 at 10:23 am #354445Hi Deborah, The answer I picked was 16,893 not sure if it’s correct?
$’000
17,000 X 90% 15,300
Pay Rise 6% 15,300 *1.06 16,218
1500 X 500 X 90% (Bonus) 675
Total 16,893December 6, 2016 at 11:14 am #354454@kerrimcm1 said:
Re the MCQ on the audit opinion, I put unmodified and other matters paragraph as it didn’t mention anywhere that the issue was large enough to affect the going concern of the business so assumed the material uncertainty re going concern wasn’t correct and as it had been adequately disclosed, thought it was only necessary to draw attention to it using other matter? Anyone else think this?Other matter paragraph is used for matters other than those in FS and this matter was disclosed in FS, therefore material uncertainty to going concern was the right option.
December 6, 2016 at 11:26 am #354455For structured questions, they are the similar in almost situation to BPP mock exam 1 in revision kit 16/17
December 6, 2016 at 11:40 am #354458One of the first MCQs, I think no.2 re the NEDs pay, what was the answer for this? Is it correct that NEDs should be paid on a time spent basis?
December 6, 2016 at 12:30 pm #354464hello everybody did we had to expain the ratios we calculated for the audit risk question

December 6, 2016 at 2:59 pm #354506@pauljaco said:
glad you said that!I think the answer is NEDs should be paid on time spent. Their pay should not be related to the performance of the business as this compromises their independence.
As exec directors are quite commonly remunerated based on the company’s performance, I don’t believe the NEDs would be paid the same.December 6, 2016 at 3:05 pm #354507December 6, 2016 at 4:26 pm #354555wasnt it about prior acceptance to audit? Not precondition
December 6, 2016 at 4:36 pm #354557Me too confused!!
December 6, 2016 at 4:58 pm #354566@shivvy said:
wasnt it about prior acceptance to audit? Not preconditionI think related to Chapter 7 on OT
December 6, 2016 at 9:11 pm #354759I did the same,
December 6, 2016 at 9:12 pm #354760I hate discussing it though. I hope all of us pass LOL.
