December 5, 2014 at 9:13 pm #218716wheres the deficiency??
which question/s?
December 5, 2014 at 9:14 pm #218717December 5, 2014 at 9:16 pm #218718Yes!
I asked in the question to Gromit, and this is what he said
“For Q12, statement (2), if the going concern assumption is inappropriate, the FS contain material misstatements so should modify the opinion. I was originally wondering if ACCA was being strict or sloppy with ‘qualify’ ie using qualify to mean any modified opinion. If so, probably (2) is correct. It could be a bit of a trick, however, depending on how accurately the examiner uses the term ‘qualify’. Perhaps they want you to conclude that an adverse opinion is needed, in which case the answer is D.
It also depends on how the FS are drawn up and the question doesn’t say that they have been drawn up on the going concern basis. It only says that the FS should not be on a going concern basis. If they are actually drawn up on a break-up basis, then no modification of the opinion is needed so B is right again.
I think it’s a rather ambiguous question.”

I have doubts on the answers given for question 3, 9 and 12
December 5, 2014 at 9:41 pm #218722I have doubts about 3 as well.
Q9 I can’t even remember what I ticked.
Q12 I’m with yiu on this. Coz what gromit is saying is fine. But I’m not content.
December 5, 2014 at 9:46 pm #2187233 is definitely right.
A B and D are suitable form
Of evidence.C there are better ways to confirm loss of data from payroll. E.g review bank statement to confirm what went out from payroll.
Do a monthy on month analysis to understand any significant changes.
Any new joiners or leavers, you can do a proof in total calc to confirm the balances are reasonable.

I wouldn’t worry too much about Q12. ACCA get feedback from the tuition providers after the exams and if others feel the question has been worded ambiguously as Gromit said then ACCA may give credit for both responses (B and D).
December 5, 2014 at 10:38 pm #218739Yeah fair point I suppose.
December 5, 2014 at 10:56 pm #218741which other mcq u lost mark at? apart from 3. also can u if possible confirm that the subsequent event question in q4 was adjusting event where auditors were suppoose to perform following procedures as asked in part 2:
review post year cash receipts to see any payments from the customers.
enquire management why they dont want to make a write off this year. enquire about thier rationale.
review and confirm correspondences from customer that he is unlikely to pay
is that sounds right?
December 5, 2014 at 11:01 pm #218742Yup it was an adjusting event
the matter was materialYup review with customer
Enquire of director for his rationale
Inspect board minutes
Written rep for no paymentI think k that’s about it
December 5, 2014 at 11:03 pm #218743I think k the only mcqs which I have problem with are 3 and 12
Q12 D I think we agreed
Q3 is D.. that’s about it the test I got right well apart from the disadvantage of questionnaires coz I can’t remember what I ticked

December 6, 2014 at 3:45 am #218762I cried and want to die as I forgot the new policy is 6 questions instead of 5 questions and I ignore the last question in the back page of the question book.

10 Which of the following statements, if any, is/are correct?
(1) Internal auditors should report to the finance director as they understand internal controls and are best placed to
implement any recommendations in a timely manner
(2) Companies are not required to establish and maintain an internal audit function
A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2Why the answer is B as per the opentuition answers and not D, because according to my understanding the answer should be D.
December 6, 2014 at 7:37 am #218773Companies are not required to maintain and establish internal audit.
It is better tot have it if you have got audit committee so they can work with them but it’s not a requirement
December 6, 2014 at 8:57 am #218788how did you approach the substantive procedures on revaluation?
i put points like:
inspect the revaluation report and agree the amount in the report by the valuer to the ledger and FS
recalculate depreciation based on new carrying value
review disclosure and ensure its adequate
ensure that all assets in the same
class have been revaluedare these points valid for substantive procedures?
and what about WIP? the procedure i wrote for WIP was to recalculate WIP using payroll records for labour costs. does that sounds ok?

WIP
Evaluate and recalculate their measurement of WIP % completion (I think it was based on total cost incurred or something) and assess with other clientsBreak down of WIP and recalculate
Break down of overheads allocated and assess the reasonableness of assumptions
Agree raw marerials per unit back to purchase invoice to confirm accuracy of prices in the WIP calc
Etc
December 6, 2014 at 10:18 am #218809yes, its correct!!
December 6, 2014 at 10:32 am #218819thanks. what about revaluation? do you think the points i made were good enough for substantive procedures?
