    I also mentioned that sales team could alter the master file. I hate this exam, the others are easy to compare and have some feeling of how you did but with this one I have no idea!!

    For the last question one my points was to do with the standard 30 day credit terms. I said that these should be reviewed regularly by the financial director as each customer is different. Competitiors may offer say 40 days and the company’s rigid credit terms may cause loss of revenue. A similar point was made in Dec 14 paper. Importance of audit planning was also asked in Dec 14. My answer to question 16 a was flow charts and questionnaires.

    I took this as a CBE and found the whole process was very smooth. I can type a lot faster than I can write so I was able to give much more detailed answers. The new format of the exam worked well too.

    Yeah definitely going for cbe next time. Examiners confused me with the stupid interruption at the start about the wrong question numbers. Disrupted my train of thought

    Did you shade the bubbles as 1.2.3 ? Or you wrote the question numbers only ?

    Yes unmodified. An emphasis of matter paragraph is only used to draw the users attention to a matter that has already been correctly disclosed within the financials. I think haha

    Audit risks: AS PER MY ANSWERS:
    New system introduced – risk of diff in opening balances during transfer or loss of data.
    Dvlpmt costs – risk of capitalizing research costs… IAS 38
    Training costs were capitalised
    Purchases ledger closed after year end
    No reco for bank stmts and control a/c – risk of fraud and errors.
    Bonus based on total assets – risk of understatement of provisions…

    We were told part way through the exam but I would guess you’ll be ok as it is ACCA’s error not including this in the answer booklet or having the invigilators ensure students knew about this from the start of the exam

    I flagged this to the invigilator and then 15mins later she makes an announcement in the exam which was not helpful and she talked for 5minutes. This is definitely a fault with ACCA which they should have resolved when they knew they were changing the exam format !!!
