pretty easy if you have strong practice but long as usual so dont have enough time to review answer
Ssoundarya6y ago#2
Pretty good not bad at all the only thing I'm worried about is i completed the paper 35 minutes early and the others here are talking about how lengthy the paper was, did i go wrong somewhere
Mmatran2410916y ago#3
do you write long enough answer for audit risk and internal control question ??
Ssoundarya6y ago#4
Yes! I identified the risks talked about the accounting standard and impact with audit responses I'm seriously worried! Thats enough right?
JJasmine6y ago#5
The paper was ok - everything came up, audit risk, controls, corp gov. substantive testing, reporting! I am nervous about the section a (a bit confusing!) but hoping to get a pass!! good luck all!

I think this is a tough paper, lots to cover in limited time. I managed to answer every question but didn’t have any spare time to review. I am confident that I have done enough to pass, but wouldn’t expect more than 55 marks.

This is my first skills paper where i can safely say i sufficiently attempted 100 out of 100 marks. I’m hoping for a nice score for my last skills paper :)

This is my first attempt of this Paper. I find it hard as it's very long and discursive. Felt confident about my answer but I hope they made sense. Hoping for a consideration from the markers. Hope we all pass.

Good for you @henry1acca ! Very confident indeed. You must be the one who was typing so fast on the keyboard and get all the answer just like that :-) Congratulations in advance.

Thanks drkeogh83. This was my second attempt at this paper after failing last attempt at 49 marks. I wouldn’t say i’m the fastest typer in the west but after countless hours studying the answer was there in my mind without a second thought so really hoping for a decent pass. Good luck with your result! I’ve already started studying SBL :)

Hi I think we had a same exam I think the amount of 210k was material I suggested accruals for current year if refused by mngt material except for
SShehzad6y ago#14
I had 15 McQs has anyone had the same
YYahya6y ago#15
Funny this is the last skilled and I answered 100 of 100 first time in my acca to complete a paper 4 minutes before the end of time!
Ddrkeogh836y ago#16
@henry1acca that's nice to hear. Very inspiring revenge after they did not give you the 1 mark. I'm sure you nailed the exams. Congratulations in advance.

There is no more addition sample question, everyone has 15 MCQ
KKerry6y ago#18
I think the exam was ok. I finished with an hour spare- which worries me.. but I went back and checked I hadn’t missed a question and reviewed my answers. Time will tell I suppose! Last one for me in that level so fingers crossed! Now to get back to enjoying life and Christmas!

RRasha6y ago#23
That 210k is material, cuz in q it is said that materiality is based on revenue. They said that is not material when PBT is taken as benchmark. So that was material
Lleon6y ago#24
Not the best but at least I was able to complete the paper.

@azadcerm said: EVERY ONE: What STUDY MATERIALS YOU FOLLOWED? 1. BBP Text 2. Revision KIT? 3. KAPLAN TEXT? 4. KAPLAN KIT? 5. ANYTHING ELSE?
-Kaplan text to try under basis understand, and answer MCQ question -but most important is focus on deal question + substantive test (should copy answer from past exam paper and try to remember) + audit risk and response +internal control defficiencies, recommend control and test of control + impact on auditor report + calculate some ratio If should focus on writing question and you will pass easily
Mmatran2410916y ago#26
Also try to improve typing speed. Audit answer pretty quite long when compare to F7 and F5

@gavinhenson10 said: Part a was very difficult- think I've let myself down with my answers to this part. What did people write for the substantive analytical procedures in respect to the increase in revenue of $3.2m from 20x5?
From what I remember Recaculate and compare sales per key product for 20X4 and 20X5 to identify any significant differences and assess the reasons . Compare sales per store and compare with other stores to identify if there are any slow moving inventory of products. Then I wrote something similar the other too
SShehzad6y ago#28
Thanks for clarification audit adj was accurals right if mngt dont adjust it would be qualified except for.?
AAlex6y ago#29
Opinion: qualified except for as the matter is material but not pervasive (if management is reluctant to amend accounts)
IMIrakli Managadze6y ago#30
when I was writting audit risks and responses suddenly sheet where I was writting disappeared so that I couldn't "redo"....did someone experience like this issue? then I start writting from beginning...for all this procedures I lost about 15-20 min.
