Hi
What do they mean by this ‘steps to reduce certain threats are different for a listed and unlisted company’ This question is to do with Audit framework and regulation but obviously not provided by ACCA.
Thanks

June 6, 2016 at 7:26 am #319735I actually don’t know the answer to the first one. They need to be rotated every 5 years – I thought this applied for both? I’ve tried to do a search for rotating partner on your website but cannot find the answer.
I know about the second point 10% PIC and 15% Listed.
Not long until the exam now, thanks for all of your help.

For listed companies IESBA states 7 years. UK Auditing Practicessation Board suggests 5.
Good luck with your exam.
June 6, 2016 at 10:08 pm #320080Oh yes I had seen this figure of 7 years come up as well as 5 years and was getting confused by it.
Thank you. I found this exam a bit better than my March attempt where I got 46% as the questions seemed to be more like what I expected. Perhaps I was a bit more prepared as well. I really hope I get a pass this time.
June 6, 2016 at 10:45 pm #320090Good to hear it seemed better. Best of luck!
July 18, 2016 at 10:25 pm #327420Passed with 57% – thank you so much for your help!
