hello ,
there are not much specific forensic audit questions in the kit ,all we need to do is require our professional judgement and a investigative mind to be interrogative of what would be the way to reach the criminal or the offencer in order to carry out a quantification of the loss and the sctratch of how did it initiated …also with regards to the forensics auditor can also give preventative measures of the case not occuring again to the client ….my concern is that how would we know in the exam if we are performing a right procedure with regard to the engagement as personally i dont have any related experience in auditing plus coming up with investigative procedures is a very thought ful process ….exam is timed and i need your guidance on approaching such questions ..
also ,i want to request you to brief an exam technique as this is all the way stressed from the beginning ..
December 1, 2016 at 3:46 pm #352913I have said for years and years … Auditing exam answers are a matter of common sense!
You watch detective programmes on television, don’t you (when you’re not studying, of course)
Can you not work out what questions you should be asking to confirm the authenticity of figures, amounts, disclosures, statements that you would come across if you were an auditor?
You say that you have NO audit experience!
I bet you are the only one doing this exam that is in that position … NOT
And yet thousands of your fellow under-experienced colleagues take this exam and pass it
You probably have no law, tax nor management experience either. But those exams are out of your way, successfully passed
“also ,i want to request you to brief an exam technique as this is all the way stressed from the beginning ..”
There are exam technique articles on this site for guidance on how to pass these exams
There’s one by me towards the bottom of the P7 home page and there are two others by members of the P3 (?) marking team in the P3 Technical Articles page
Read those and then come back to me if you need further encouragement
