AA*** ACCA F8 June 2017 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments ***

Does anyone remember What each part was worth? Why control environment is important - 2 marks Disadvantages of outsourcing internal audit- 5 marks whatever you can remember plz. Cheers!

i don't remember the last time i wrote so much in an ACCA paper...i filled 9 pages (front & back)...hoping for a pass...fingers crossed...but anything less than 50% and it will be confirmed that ACCA have beef with me...

How does anyone even remember what they picked for mcqs?? I sat the afternoon paper today- found the mcqs quite tricky and I practiced a fair few of them but I definitely ended up spending too much time on them- I always find time management hard in these exams I found part B a lot easier but I ended up having to quickly fly through the last few questions due to running out of time and I wasn't even able to answer the 14 marker on audit risk because of running out of time, was gutted. Just glad it's over- I definitely preferred the computer based to paper, no fiddling around with an answer booklet and I preferred having to type quickly rather than write quickly.

I did not have enough time to complete the paper... I hope to get atleast the passmark�😫

It seems that the material level for revenue is 0.5%~1% so I think that misstatement is material

I choose the option of 'Accuracy, valuation, and xx', I remember that it is the option 4. The reason why I choose it is that the sales proceeds or profits/loss (?) on disposal is recalculated and this may be has link to the valuation.

Me too. I hope I can pass the exam this time and I will choose to answer part B next time if I failed. Good Luck.

Glad this night mare is over.... i also never remember what i answered the questions with, and am amused how come these guys remember .... may be they are very sharp

The test questions were killers! The writing questions i found mainly OK..

@abdiaziz said: What did you guys say about subtantive analytical procedure for revenue?? Can someone help??

It was comparing month to month Revenue to prior year And compare to budgets

Thank u. I had been hitting my head trying to rmr marks allocation. What did you do for last question part 2? I didn't use ratios for Risk identification. Just regular data in the question.Cuz there were so many risks without the useage of ratios and cudnt think too much abt ratios cuz of tym pressure. The question said "using ratios and other data, identify risks". do u think I'd loose marks for not referring to ratios calculated in part a

Cud it have been comparing sales returns from year to year?

@studyfreaksy said: Cud it have been comparing sales returns from year to year?

Yes

That was around 5 mks i guess!! I answered that way like comparing current year sales to previous year and to budget. But those were only 2 points. I then compared gross profit percentage to previous years. Receivables to previous years . Something like that. I don't know if i am correct.

I have ADDDD too!!!!

Oh yes... This substantive analytical procedure for revenue....

Revenue - 0.5% - 1%

@mubeenjuma said: The part that confused me is if there is analytical procedures for depreciation

I have ADDDD too!!!! Haha

Is the revenue materiality bracket the same as assets then? I thought the benchmarks were 5% profit before tax, 1-2% profit after tax, and 0.5-1% of assets.

I did same thing and felt maybe it was wrong because of ADDDD for 1-5. Hope we are correct.

can anyone advise answer to ratio question on no. 18?

Hi, Revenue materiality is 1/2% - 1% (I.e 0.005 to 0.01) Assets ( 1% - 2%) Profit (5%-10%)

What did y'all put for the MCQ with the best test for the revenue which was recorded in the current year but related to the following year?

The wording of questions of part-A was very critical and tricky

I felt so betrayed by the MCQs lol...after practising and doing well in the cases each time while studying, I was so shocked at how tricky and twisted the ones in the exam seemed. Section B was fair though, so overall an 'ok' exam. I'm wondering if I'll ever get the chance to ever say that an ACCA exam was easy lol

HAHA LOL ! You'll pass bruv
