Heyyy ,vjsharksn ...i think da one abt audit evidence is right...they were asking for Analytical pros,observation,reporformance,inspection and all that....
i didnt knw abt narrative notes and all that ..and i ran out of time. :(
Former userFormer user15y ago#64
It is not very hard but time consuming. not did well in Q5 regarding audit report:( And I have no time to check and review the question number on the header of answer sheet. Will the answer be regarded as invaid one, if I marked the wrong question number on the answer sheet?

i found this attempt's paper quite easy maybe because that I managed to go through F8 BPP study text on exam day in 2 and half hour. This revision helped me a lot in exam. Now I realise that Audit is nothing but memorisation of study text, if you have memorised/read study text two three times then linking it to scenario is not a difficult thing.

I hope to get good pass this time and wish you all best of luck and may everybody get good pass this time.

As per the above comments, I have flunked ALREADY :(
Mmahakhan15y ago#67
I wrote everything that was right (in my opinion). I have some SERIOUS conflicts with the examiner's thoughts though :P.
Do pray for all :)
Mmahakhan15y ago#68
I forgot to mark questions on the answer sheet :S I just wrote the answers and didn't mention which answer is it :( Damn :(

This was my second sitting for this exam - I thought I did really well last December but came out with 40%.

I answered everything this time around but just hope I get 50%

Reading through everyones notes I may of misunderstood a few questions especially the one about external confirmation - it asked us to list and example other ways of confirming the evidence.

I took this as Review, Verify, Written, Oral methods - I think I have messed this question up.

Former userFormer user15y ago#74
i am really disappointed that i could not do Q1 as expected.May be i was less prepared for that question.Rests were fair and easy.Crossing my fingers for 50 .Please God !!!!!
Sstefanboro15y ago#75
Exam was ok I felt - added up the marks I think I got for each question and deducted marks for prudence and it came to 64. That being said I know I went off topic so........

Also, did anyone else do it in Newcastle? Am I the only one who constantly kept hearing what sounded like a birds nest on the roof??
Mmunchie15y ago#76
q3 was no fun
Former userFormer user15y ago#77
question 5b (12 marks!) 3 scenarios for how each misstatement affects audit report. Messed up 2nd scenario.
Also for 3b for 5 audit risk for audit plan (10 marks!), i got only 2 audit risks.
Also, did not know how to manage the conflict of interest for auditing 2 rival companies (5 marks!....i think)
hopefully i gathered enough marks in the rest of the exam!
Former userFormer user15y ago#78
paper was ok not so hard
Former userFormer user15y ago#79
conflict of interest manage by
rotating audit partner
separate audit teams
Chinese wall
Former userFormer user15y ago#80
I think Q 3, the second part was difficult. Risks and the auditor response to thenm during planning stage. What should have been the risght answer?
Former userFormer user15y ago#81
Also, Q1-Control recommendations re fraud in cash transfers..this was for 6 marks..it was a liitle confusing,as the fraud was for cash receipts through bank transfers..
have any good ideas?

Former userFormer user15y ago#85
well i thought it was better than i had expected.. i thought i would forget a lot of things in the exam... but i diddnt.. and the scenarios were great.. expecting to do well
Former userFormer user15y ago#86
i wrote the same for question 3 so most of us seem to getting the same conclusion
hint. Generally fair questions really.Time management though hope I made sense with the answers especially with Goofy and Mickey on the way!!
Former userFormer user15y ago#87
Goofy and Mickey - I think the examiners must have been having a few disney spells
Former userFormer user15y ago#88
The more easy it is !.The more mess i do :S...I hope examiner understand wat i wrote:D
Former userFormer user15y ago#89
For question 1a the receivables tests of controls i wrote about ACCAMAPS e.g computer controls, arithmetic checks, Physical controls, Comparison etc etc. Was this correct?

Cheers
