This paper was so strange ... very different compared to the ones from past. The materiality question (7 marks) - I’ve given the standard percentages but found it harder to justify. Like I mentioned there should be a broad range across different FS and that the industry has low margin so should be lower but I couldn’t say more ? Anyone with a strong answer on that?

Papers are different as far as I understand. Different questions.

I can’t remember them perfectly but I believe with this is what I can remember Q.1 evaluation of business risk of a non listed family owned business that grows and processes plants for resale. (10 marks) B. Evaluation of audit risk (20 marks) C. Audit procedures in relation to fair value changes of plantation damaged by storm D. I think it was an ethics question about how the cfo didnt want any further investigation into a legal case brought up by employees concerning health and safety which has led to a lot of accidents and some fatalities 2 was a question on matters to consider on audit quality, professional ethics relating to a post issuance review of a report (I am not too sure if there was more to it) And the the last question was a matters to consider and evidence expected to about different scenarios relating to an audit client for (20 marks) and impact on audit opinion for 5

So many question sets being asked today it is quite difficult to discuss....I wrote CBE ..business risk and audit risks...but I know someone wrote on audit risks with different marks allotted to it in CBE in my country (but at different time) I wrote audit procedures for HFS but others wrote audit procedures for data analytics Quite interesting

I answered the question on audit risk wrongly and the question was only specific to exhibit 4. 20 marks gone, now I’m battling with 80 marks. So sad!

The question was , what are the audit risk in the planning stage. Underneath it had a not that specified only audit risk peculiar to the KPI figures in exhibit 4. I didn’t see the additional note until 10 minutes to the end of the exam by then it was already late and the question carries 20 marks
AAlper5y ago#26
Weird. Usually all exhibits are used when answering. Sorry for you. What was the scenario of the question?

AAA INT VARIANT - Okay so does anyone remember anything about the operating License to Matty and the going concern issue what was that all about, the license was to be amortized over 5 years but what about the going concern, was the report to be modified to adverse or just a material uncertainty of going-concern because i remember the revenue of railway was about 60% of matty and the government had revoked the license but the financial statements were not prepared on breakup basis.....

For the going concern issue, it’s a major disclosure that had to be made hence hence the audit assistance was wrong by saying that the statement will not have to be modified.
