    Hi everybody, unfortunately I cannot attend on the INT variant of the F8 exam. What was it like? What were the questions? Was the theoretical part easy?

    Thanks and wish u luck

    I think it was a fairly decent exam and it was well paced with sufficient time to get through the exam.

    Very similar to past paper Dec 2010.. I think that was the one. Letter to management on weaknesses- 2 marks for presentation- (hopefully i’ll get at least those two) Not a bad exam, a few questions that obscure parts to questions as normal!! Hopefully done enough, I saw some magic today though- feller next to me seemed to spend most of the exam just thinking, no writing- he then handed in 4 extension booklets!! Must have massive handwriting!

    I tried to answer almost every parts of questions, except for the application control in Q1(4marks-don’t know what it is) and last part of Q5 (3marks-times up!). This sitting is really similar as what were came out before as mentioned. Hopefully I can get through this and best luck to everyone-PASS!

    Was this the question about the elements of an assurance engagement? If so, it is

    a) a three party relationship
    b) subject matter
    c) suitable criteria
    d) sufficient appropriate evidence
    e) report

    Instead of a three party relationship I just put practitioner! I didn’t get sufficient appropriate evidence, but I think I remembered the rest.

    My opinion, was adverse as it was materal, two items PPE and inventory. Surely auditors have no other opinion!

    What did people write for content of emphasis of matter in question 2? I said financial statements are T and F nothing is wrong with them etc…..just want to point out draw attention to something important. E.g Going Concern.

    Correct??

    yes! EOM paragr. is after the opinion paragr . and It is writen to direct attention for events which have already adequately disclosed by the management

    What u wrote abt the procedures to obtain evidence?? it is abt AEIOU?

    For audit evidence I said:
    inspection, inquiry, confirmation, recalculation and analytical procedures
    And for each procedure i gave example om PPE

    And then there was a question about threats to auditors independence so i said: Self interest, self review, advocacy, familiarity and intinidation

    May I am wrong then but either it is adverse or qualified it is going to earn only one mark !
    1 more mark for reffering the basis of the opinion paragraph before the opinion paragraph and the other one I think to exlain that it is due to material mistatements and that the opinion Not give a T+F view (if adverse) or except for (if qualified)
