Internal Control

EEmad4y ago
Hi sir, hope you're doing well Sir, Can you help me with internal control? Like I need help with how to tackle the question. Am struggling with explaining part and giving Tests of Control or Control Recommendations. Like if you can give me some advice or perhaps some questions that could help. I have done practice but don't feel good in the internal control section maybe some help or advice from you will do. Thanks a lot for your time and all the help.

If you download the latest examiner's report https://www.accaglobal.com/ie/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f8/examiners-reports1.html there is a LOT of guidance on what is need (starting page 16 for internal control Qs). To make the most of this resource, I suggest you at attempt the S/D21 Q Pomeranian available in the CBE Practice platform - then you will get more out of the article. You will find a list of "good questions to practice" on page 18. A fundamental point to grasp it that a test of control is what the AUDITOR does to obtain evidence that the client's controls are operating effectively - i.e. there are good controls. Control recommendations are made by the auditor to the client - i.e. what MANAGEMENT should do to when there are deficiencies.
