i wrote there should not be classified as held for sale as the criteria has not been followed as they will start looking for a buyer after the year end
June 5, 2023 at 5:59 pm #686084That was the most difficult paper i’ve sat in my entire life!! After all this hard-work, everything feels useless. Didn’t even finish the paper.. The time wasn’t enough at all
June 5, 2023 at 6:10 pm #686085Yh I noticed that note in the account after I finished writing that the asset held for sale was correct but the audit risk was that the result of it was included in revenue and so it should be deducted from operating profit so that materiality should be calculated on the adjusted profit before tax. This means my materiality calculation was incorrect too. I am so disappointed in myself for not noticing that note first. When I noticed it was too late.

Q 2 was the first company control effectiveness in service organisation where the company sells their products on some website
second company it control deficiencies
and third company audit team was getting the potential client detailsJune 5, 2023 at 7:30 pm #686099Hi.
I sat afternoon session, AAA INT.
Here is what I remember:
Q1
-Audit risks 18 marks (company designed and produced boats for fishing industry)
-Justify why inventory (made of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods) is material and audit procedures regarding this (14 marks I guess)Q2
Communication with TCWGM
Critics to Key audit matters section from audit reportQ3
Group audit
– Evaluate etical matters in whether audit commettee should appoint one or the other auditor who were in tender
– evaluate why matters should be included in the report to be sent to managementJune 5, 2023 at 8:45 pm #686104I had the same exam as you did you notice that the materiality was based on revenue.
June 5, 2023 at 9:28 pm #686108Yes materiality based on revenue.
I thought it was identity significant risks of material misstatement though, not audit, so I’ve really messed up 🙁
June 5, 2023 at 9:50 pm #686110I’m still so confused. I did it as revenue so 5-10% but nothing was meeting the threshold. Did I go completely wrong?!?
June 5, 2023 at 9:57 pm #686111I had the same exam on boat Q1
Q2 TCWG
Q3 KAM and audit committee selecting the external auditor.Probably a fail again. I spent too much time on Q1 and barely finish Q3.
How did you recognise the engineer for the joint arrangement?
June 5, 2023 at 9:58 pm #686112Yes you did because I initially did the same.
It’s 0.5-1% of revenue for materiality isn’t it.
I wouldn’t worry though as surely you’ll only get penalised once for that? Own figure ruleJune 5, 2023 at 10:03 pm #686113Materiality based on revenue is in the range of 0.5% to 1%
