Melisa yeah then its good though u should have tried adding inventory days and payables days but as long as u did 4 its good
June 7, 2017 at 2:32 am #391109Mubeenjuma. I did calculate payables initially but changed it as the payables days fell Year on Year and I would not have been able to use it as an audit risk.

June 7, 2017 at 9:14 am #391237Did we have to use the ratios to identify audit risks? there were many audit risks even without looking at the ratio. what if somebody used the general audit risks on the question?

But I think if your answers are detailed enough you should be able to get 1 mark for each point made even without relating to the ratios. I’ve read some examiner reports and the examiners have never mentioned the problem of students not relating to the ratios calculated.
June 7, 2017 at 10:39 am #391263I calculated gross profit margin, operating profit margin, trade receivable and trade payable days.
I wrote down only 5 risks and their responses as I ran out of time :(. I did use the trade receivables ratio as it showed it took longer for the company to receive payments compared to the earlier year.
Judging by ACCA mark scheme on practice questions, they would allocate some marks i think towards use of ratios. I’m hoping it’s not much as I only referenced that the once.
June 7, 2017 at 2:09 pm #391327Dear but they ask including your ratios and risk from above scenario therefore you must discuss ratio
June 7, 2017 at 2:24 pm #391330the four ratio i calculated were current ratio ; quick ratio; operating profit margin and gross profit …
i didnt use the ratios to identify the risk.the scenario data was enough to identify the risk..!!
i m not sure whether i m right or wrong
did any one else did the same..?June 7, 2017 at 2:28 pm #391334@usmanhassan94 said:

did any one else did the same..?There were lots of Audit risks and responses to give but the question asked to use Ratios so yes you have to use them at some point. I only used mine once as I ran out of time. booo! lol

Mubeenjuma. I did calculate payables initially but changed it as the payables days fell Year on Year and I would not have been able to use it as an audit risk.Yeah Melissa those calculations were just to earn marks….coz most of the audit risks were found in the scenario and I think only trade receivables days had an audit risk coz even the gross profit….the net profit all of them showed an improvement
June 7, 2017 at 11:13 pm #391631I took F8 CBE, was this different compared to the paper based exam as I did not have any question that required ratios to be calculated?
Also my exam said something about it being for 110 marks but 10 marks dont count and are use for Q&A purposes. How do they manage that without me losing out on potential marks???
Also did no one have to calculate the amount forecasted salary cost for staff? I think it was £38.88M if I remember correctly?
June 8, 2017 at 6:40 am #391692how on earth do u remember all this

June 9, 2017 at 5:30 pm #392265I’m getting really stressed about results!
I have never got more than one MCQ wrong in all my mocks (which I did many off) but I had absolutely no clue for the ones in the exam, I ended up picking ABCD based on how well they matched the pattern!Also I finished my exam an hour early even know I thought I had fully answered all the questions!!!! Help did anyone else finish early?
June 9, 2017 at 5:56 pm #392284Hey Anna I put in about the potential fee exceeding 15% and the threat to independence if the external auditors were placing reliance in the audit work and the increased redundancy costs
June 9, 2017 at 10:18 pm #392371When is the result due for June 2017?

June 11, 2017 at 8:09 pm #392782I am reading the answers and how most students thought the exam was ok. I compare my answers and I have to say I have more and more doubts that I managed to score this 50%. Especially when I read comments after March exam when people failed when they thought they would have passed 60% and people getting 60% after giving model answer. Also, a pass rage 38% shows this ok feeling after the exam is very misleading.

Wow! an hour early? I didn’t even have enough time to properly finish the last question!
