    Here are the tips

    7City says:
    • Professional ethics focused on
    independence and confidentiality.
    • Internal controls within a
    purchases system possibly as an
    extract from a management letter.
    • Modified audit opinions including
    inherent uncertainty and the link to
    going concern.
    • Events after the period end date.
    • Substantive audit procedures to
    validate accounts payable.
    • Financial statement risk.

    BPP says:
    • Not-for-profit organisations.
    • Risk assessment.
    • Ethics.
    • Computer based auditing.
    • Analytical procedures.
    • Fraud.

    Kaplan says:
    • Systems: purchases.
    • ISA 570 going concern.
    • Ethics.
    • Not-for-profit organisations.
    • Completion and auditor’s reports.

    LSBF says:
    • There’s a new examiner for F8, so
    there is no history from which to
    project. Based on past exams look
    out for:
    • Inventory and purchases.
    • Risk and ethics.
    • Non current assets and CAATs.
    • Reporting and going concern.

    OpenTuition Says:
    Sales system/receivables, including audit planning.
    CAAT
    Analytical procedures
    Reasons for qualifying – Clarity statement
    Events after the period end
    Ethics and risk/client acceptanc

    hi ee
    yes sure for P4 Advanced Financial Management

    BPP says:

    Role and responsibility towards stakeholders:
    • Ethical issues continue to appear regularly as an optional discussion question, normally with practical financial issues from elsewhere in the syllabus. The discussion question is normally one of the easier optional questions.

    Advanced investment appraisal:
    • The compulsory question often features an NPV question with an analysis of risk. Cost of capital calculations are regularly tested, make sure that you are comfortable adjusting betas for differences in gearing. Real options and adjusted present value are also popular themes, and are normally tested in section B of the exam.

    Acquisitions and mergers:
    • Although this area was heavily examined in December, this exam normally contains a question involving valuations which the examiner sees as a crucial part of the syllabus.

    Corporate reconstruction:
    • This is a topical area; a question could also ask you to evaluate a capital reconstruction e.g. a business that is considering offering its creditors shares in order to enable it to survive.

    Advanced risk management:
    • We would expect to see a numerical risk management question featuring either interest rate or exchange rate hedging. Foreign currency derivatives are due to be tested numerically; the new examiner has indicated that questions may well ask you to compare the results of a hedge using a number of different hedging techniques.

    Kaplan says:

    • Acquisitions and business valuation (especially free cash flow method)
    • Net Present Value
    • Black Scholes model, but not the Grabbe variant
    • WACC
    • Interest rate hedging
