    I liked this paper. But my hand was very tired because of writing too much 🙂
    It was a little hard to identify audit risks in question 2, as my brain proposed a lot of business risks – and they are not audit.

    about the good in transit thing i dont think there was a risk as they specifically said that goods were recorded as received but i mention that the goods may be damaged since there is no evidence that the goods are checked when received which could overstate inventory figures and other audit risk i mentioned are- about revaluations, is the expert valuer qualified enough?
    and does the accountant have experience and knowledge enough to do the proper accounting treatment since a revaluation affects various accounts.
    also the increase in sales could be a manipulation by employees to obtain the bonus or they are selling products below cost price which could explain the sudden increase.
    levels of receivables have also increased and some customers have been identified with credit concerns which means that there are no credit worthiness check which could results in a lot of bad debts thus misstating accounts.
    and i forgot what i wrote more lol

    doesnt business risk form part of audit risk? since inherent risk which can be considered as business risk x control risk x detection risk = audit risk

    It was clearly stated in question 3 that goods are CORRECTLY recorded as received so there was no answer was there. However, the examiner is very lovely and this was the best F8 paper I have ever seen. Cheers to Pami Bahl, you are the best!

    Haha true her ‘gift’ to us, I wish she could also be the P7 examiner. I just love her and her answers. I didn’t have any support, all I had was her answers and that helped me a lot.

    All I had a problem with was question 4. The scenario on corporate governance was quite tricky. I wrote about the ‘close friend’ thing but don’t know if it’s right. It was quite tricky. Question 4 (a) was good.

    Yap you are right. The more you think you are going to pass in F8, the less your chances are. I heard that from my lecturer, in the end it boils down to personal preparation.

    @tommy they are both inter-related so this may not be a concern
    and the definition of audit risk is the risk that the auditor expresses an audit opinion that the
    financial statements are fairly presented when they are materially misstated.
