    Hi

    In one of the past exam questions the question has asked benefits of audit committee for 4 marks.
    This means we have to write 4 points, as each point will carry 1 mark

    In examiners answer one of the point written is that “Audit committee can provide advice on risk management to executive directors. They can create a climate of discipline and control which will reduce chances of fraud and increase public confidence in credibility and objectivity of financial statements. ”

    I want to ask that if the above single point I break it into 2 separate points i,e
    1) Audit committee can create a climate of discipline and control which will reduce chances of fraud
    2) Audit committee will increase public confidence in credibility and objectivity of financial statements

    So would these 2 points be enough to gain 2 marks? Like is point num 1 sufficient to gain 1 full mark and similarly is point num 2 sufficient to gain 1 full mark?

    Yes. I think your suggestion is better than the examiner’s which runs two quite different points together.
