    Remote exam
    I have been asked to reschedule the paper as nvigilator was unable to see my video, whereas I was able to see myself on webcam and the recording was running. Also all the check webcam, Internet and audio were successfully checked in. So I don’t know how this happened and if I was the only one who faced this issue

    Do anyone has gone through the rescheduling process of the remote exams? can you please share the steps? Just to inform you that I already wrote to complaints@accaglobal.com

    Hi Singa, I’ve had issues to launch my exam too. I’ve accessed the book an exam section and right next to the “launch” button there is a “rebook” button. Just follow the steps in the screen and you’ll be able to reschedule. That’s how I’ve done anyway.

    Ran out of time towards the end, MCQs were quite tricky. Also for nomination committee what is the re-election period? Is it 1 or 3 years?

    We were supposed to finish just after 12.00 noon. there were technical issues so finished the paper at 5.00pm Kenya time. I just started the exam and my timer froze so I had to be moved to 2 different computers before I could continue with the exam. I had questions on audit risk, and key controls to rely on in internal controls, factors to rely on when using an expert, going concern, substantive procedures, on 3 or 4 different items.

    Anybody got a question like below to calculate the proof in total? If so what are your answers guys??? I got 2.25m

    Prior year revenue is 1.8m
    One third of this is through online sales and the rest through other means.
    The forecast revenue for current year is expected to increase by 25% through online sales and they have extended the production with fifth factory and revenue from that is expected to be in line with others.

    It was certainly not easy, but I don’t think it was impossibly difficult either..

    @rashard I got 1.95M

    1.8/3 = 0.6 (online sales)
    0.6*1.25 = 0.75 (accounting for the 25% increase in online sales)

    1.8-0.6 =1.2 (warehouse sales)

    1.2+0.75 = 1.95M

    This is how I arrived at my answer I don’t know whether it is correct

    For audit risk and IC deficiency, is it wrong if we copy paste the risk identified or deficiency from the scenario without typing it in our own words? Will we be awarded to 0.5 Marks for identification if we copy paste it from the scenario?

    Wasn’t an overly difficult exam but wasn’t easy either, found the multiple choice questions quite tricky. Written questions a bit more straight forward, rushed my controls question at the end due to lack of time management but hopefully done enough!

    @ranganaherath they had told something fifth warehouse. Then I got the balance two third divided by 4 warehouses which was held previously.. I.e (1.2/4)*5=1.5 plus 0.75=2.25

    Hi,

    I believe the questions stated 2 thirds were in-store sales a 1 third online, so the answer should have been $2.25M?
