    hi, please write what you replied to this. my reply was if fraud or money laundering was discovered (because of word DIRECTLY) and i also said that its the management’s job to ensure compliance. auditor should obtain sufficient evidence for possible noncompliance

    Relevant technical article.
    https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f8/technical-articles/laws-and-regulations.html

    “It is the responsibility of management to ensure that an entity complies with relevant laws and regulations. It is not the responsibility of the auditor to either prevent or detect non-compliance”.

    “The auditor’s responsibility to consider those laws and regulations that have both a direct and an indirect effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements”

    Hi,

    For me it was one of the easiest F8 exam paper (it is my first time doing f8 exam but I did lots of pastpaper ) however, I really gave it away! I didn’t take the exam serious πŸ™

    Regarding Question 2 c) about Understanding of entity or something like that…I mentioned this list (and explain of course)

    -Measurement of the entity like using ratios
    -Complaince and External factors like Marketing and Competitors
    -Nature of the entity like Location
    -Selection of the policy
    -Objectives and Strageties of the company

    Can anyone confirm if it is correct? :/

    Yes. You wrote a good points. Same are written in my college lecture notes

    This is because the past paper is hybrid of September and December 2015…only question 1 and 5 are different but the rest of the questions are the ones of Dec 2015 exam.

    The exam was okay altogether ,
    Though I pray that my I used the right technique required by the examining team.

    With F8 you can think you answered adequately only to discover that the answering technique never matched with wat the examiner expects.

    But the overall, it was not bad

    I made the same silly mistake. I didn’t even know there is a question 6. I had 10 mins to spare.

    What!? I asked the invigilators regarding that and they told us to leave blank unless you do F4, F6 and P6.

    What are you doing?? Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods.

    So in your example
    WITHOUT DISCOUNT [1]: Gross profit = 6 – 2 = 4
    WITH DISCOUNT [2]: Gross profit = 6 – 1 = 5

    Hence gross profit margin:
    [1]: 4 / 6 = 67%
    [2]: 5 / 6 = 83%

    You divided COS / Sales!

    It’s a typo. We just assume the sales is a fixed number, but the outcome is the same. Right?

    Guys this is a mix of Sep and Dec one so don’t panic, for example, the internal deficiencies and ethical threat questions mentioned were not part of this month.

    The only question i missed was part a of question 6 as I have not seen it because it was on top of the page so my eyes caught up the rest of the page , overall the paper was fair and insha,allah except above 80%
