    It was difficult, my second attempt and I must say it was worse than my first attempt. It will be real shock for me to even get around previous attempt marks. Although still pray that I get by chance 50.

    Best of Luck to everyone else.

    Went through some tough moments! I have written to my best knowledge, but the examiner always has her way of correcting papers!

    I didn’t think it was an easy paper. you can see question one require a lot of time to understand what is going on with the disposal + acquisition of the sub

    Q2 financial statement intrepretion took a lot of time, require a lot of thoughts on the financing cost

    I thought it was really time pressured!! I raced through question 4 and 5!

    Does anyone remember what they said for the audit opinion in q5? I’m not sure if it should have been modified as it was
    prepared as going concern…the new product will not be developed until next year and the bank is about to retract the loan?? Or would letters of rep from the bank and management…emphasis of matter and speaking at shareholders meeting be enough?

    Q 2b was awful…did anyone else say extra info could include bank statements, employee contracts, contract with venture capitalists??

    For B point 1 I said a provision for the cost of the maintenance may
    Not be included….the revenue may have been recognised immediately without a corresponding provision.

    What was going on in point 2 & 3? Competitors getting info?

    I spent far to long on Q1!

    ACCA really needs to figure out whether it wants to test the knowledge of the students or how fast they can write. Way too much to first decipher, and then write about in a cohesive manner. Do examiners even like reading incoherent answers?! Wouldn’t they prefer reading something well thought out and presented? I knew stuff but I couldn’t write it because my time management is terrible, but I can bet my knowledge is at par with the person who is going to get the highest marks in the paper. And me? I might barely scrape through…or fail. Last paper. And such a terrible one.

    Also, 25 marks relating to due diligence? Wow. Here’s hoping common sense worked. Didn’t even have time to address my strength areas in the options questions with regards ethical and professional issues… :'(

    I think only Question 4 was reasonable.
