I will be sitting the Audit exam (UK stream) on Thursday and was wondering if the ratios are given in the exam and if not, what ratios are required as the syllabus isn’t clear in this regard?
No ratios are listed in the syllabus, nor are they provided in the exam. They would be needed if you are required to carry out an analytical review. Typically auditors use:
Gross profit % Net profit % Various expenses/sales Receivables collection period Payables period Days inventory Gearing Interest cover
Many thanks, I stumbled across the OT article and followed it through. I don’t know why the syllabus is so ambiguous in this regard and much appreciate your confirmation on this matter.
