AA*** June 2022 ACCA AA exam – Instant Poll and comments ***

Hi please share the questions of the exam

It was ok

The exam was easy to me, the mcqs were regular brain tasking, elimination kinda questions, but the theory was like picked across the exam kit. Substantive procedures that came out it were in Valuation of receivables, Going concern and Director’s Renumeration, Audit report and review also came out. The Audit risks questions included ratios and the typical identification of risks which were relatively easier than the mock exam, it also included substantive procedures on PPE, purpose of engagement letter and it’s content Internal Control included, direct controls, Test of controls, Control deficiencies and recommendations around Sales and payables systems, it also included a question about matter the auditor may consider to assess if internal control deficiency is significant. So that’s just a brief summary of my question.

Hi Abriks - thanks for sharing this for us. It seems mine too which I had today! Good luck with your results

Typical question types were there. I mean, Risks and responses Control deficiencies and recommendations Substantive procedures(so many) Feel like I passed already but let see!

Strangely everyone always found the exam easy but the AA passing rate is always the lowest one … wonder how! Anyway Good luck everyone .

Thank you!, Goodluck to you too!

What did you guys reply on the director's bonus not disclosed on the FS?

I also would like to know about the correct answer... anyone knows?

For the disclosure of the directors’ bonus, since it is material but not pervasive, a qualified opinion would be given, the qualified opinion would be qualified ‘except for’

thanks!

Does anyone remember the mcqs? Especially Case 2 where were dates mentioned in it and 1st requirement was related to the responsibility of auditor for subsequent events 2nd one was adjusting event related to dividend declared post year end If anyone remember other 3 requirements of that question kindly post it, thanks

Also mention Case 1 with answers as i got ethics case in it where sister of audit manager have shares in clients company

what did you reply to this one?

Yea I would agree here! Bit surprised to have spotted some unsensitive comments...think there are more appropriate places to toot the trumpets.... The exam in comparison to others materially is much easier but it focusses on candidates ability to understand what is being asked, understand how to appropriately answer and also massively time constrained. The examiners are looking for specific things as well. I would say a lot of people don't finish enough to be able to pass majority of the time. I thought it was an ok exam. I ran out of time on midway through answering the 16 mark risk one just when I was pulling out the juicy bits on capitalising/expensing and intangible assets. but completed the rest of the paper. When I sat it before I didn't complete all the big written questions in time. There was a question on why auditors report to those charged with governance and to give two examples of what would be reported- think my answer was probably not specific enough/bit wishy washy, couldn't remember the textbook words exactly, so used common sense. - was a 4 marker. Maybe got one of the four marks. Wishing everyone goodluck.

@precision Think this is the one where they asked when the subsequent events responsibilities run up until? The key dates studying the subsequent events are 1) Y/E financial statements draft 2)auditors review this, if happy released audit report and then 3) Financial statements issued to shareholders. 1-2 is active and 2-3 is passive duties....... The questions had I think another 2 or 3 activities slotted in between as distractors. I put that subsequent event duties end when the FS are issued. Seemed logical...can't remember the other bits. The exam went so fast i am struggling to remember what other MCQs there were.

I chose that she should sell shares and get the work reviewed

I got out of time too. Now all depends on how strict the examiners mark

Got MCQ really tough man. Guys for a question on inventory production fault. Did anyone of you got this. Like selecting the appropriate test One more thing if a non adjusting event was correctly adjusted in FS BUT NOT DISCLOSED. WHAT IS THE AUDIT OPINION ON THIS ?

Yess i know this question but it said that the auditor report was yet to be signed and was not signed yet. So this means that it was still active

So you have given same answer as me then. Active duty

The exam overall was simple. My downfall and perhaps I had too much confident in my self was the time. I was unable to finish the question with audit risk and the ratios so I am hoping to pull enough mark from the other questions to pass. Geeze that time went so quickly. The Mcqs was okay but its the time to read the long case scenario. Can anyone remember what they put for PPE substantive procedures?

I wrote this same thing, and a Basis of opinion paragraph to illustrate the reason for the except for.

Hey , check out the AA exam practice 2 around that question , their answer was when the Auditor issue the report

To know the answer you had to calculate materiality .

I did finish on time , but had a tough one around the audit risk question , i hope i make it

hope you you passed :)

Well the paper was not that that much difficult but always prays that I will make it insha Allah. Even MTqs were fine. Hope for the best
