    How do you know it was material if we were not given the materiality percentages?

    Based on judgements and cacl as % of pbt n revenue… both were material. One by calculation another by nature.

    Another gentle exam! The only “tough” bits were question 1 a corporate governence, the audit risk responses had to be thought out a little but apart from that straightforward. Seen all those questions in previous exams, they were just re-printed with different names on!

    Has anyone passed any exams not finishing the paper like missing 10-15 marks. This is what I worried about! 🙁 I got f9 now tomorrow

    Yes I did in F5 June 12 sitting. I didn’t have a clue abt a section for 10mks and another of 5 marks. I still passed with 63%.
    I didn’t finish this auditing too but I know I am passing. You just have to believe in yourself and give it your all in all.

    Let’s forcus on F9. I am worried of that one. Good luck for tomorrow

    Most of my paper went well. But i got a part of last question wrong. I wrote that both were adjusting events and adjustments need to be made. For the report i went with Qualified with except for.

    Now i am afraid, i here is there is a conceptual error in last question, they fail you ? 🙁

    As for exam ..

    as usual with F8 🙂
    3d attempt

    you attempt all parts of all questions, u write on 2 booklets , u feel you write the right ideas and they are full and clear.

    You think you did very well ..then you get your result and it’s a bad fail 🙂 not 48 ..but a baad fail 🙂

    i do not ask for suggestions that i should improve my exam technique ..i just say that F8 is …interesting 🙂

    Item is pervasive if the impact is on all of the fs or substantial part of it… so both wre material.. they can b calculated as percentage of pbt n revenue.. first was material modify report n adjust ecen. Second non adjusting provide disclosure..

    affected only inventory, valued at $0.85million instead of the realisable value of $0.1million…
    though in the procedures, you need to check if there are lagal cases brought against the firm since chemical substance are highly dangerous

    The condition didnt exist at time of report. Not adjusting. But its material.. hence disclaimer…
