i would like to find out if there was a quicker way of coming up with audit procedures during the exam. ths is my greatest weakness…
November 15, 2012 at 10:57 am #107511Well, that’s an impossible one to answer – I don’t know how fast you are right now! If you are already very fast, then how can I recommend a way in which you can go faster?
What I do with my students, when we are looking at past exam questions, is divide the number of marks in a question by 2, that gives me the number of minutes they have available to them to think of the required number of points in “memorandum, point form, one-word” style.
You could be surprised at how difficult that is!
And I always recommend that they should be practical and realistic but also imaginative.
Think of the obvious and hope that you are hit by a Pringles moment – “Once you start, you can’t stop”
