    Anyone else find question 1 required a lot more time than the later questions? So much to write in part 1a)i). Fair paper though.

    this was my last exam and i think i will be resitting in march. gutted.

    question 1 was so lenghty, wasnt sure about the work in progress

    Also was not fond of question 2- I knew there would be some kpis in there but didnt like the question one bit.

    thought question 4 and 5 were ok, think question 2 just let me down big time 🙁

    Q1 was audit risk, and additional info that might be required in respect of it, along with audit procedures for W.I.P and the Gov Grant.

    Q2 part a) was explaining indicators that Kindasky was not a going concern.

    Q2 part b) was recommending to Viola Ltd, alternative means of saving itself from creditors forcing liquidation.

    Q3 was reviewing the audit file and information you should expect to find in the file in relation to three events: closure of the divisions, change in segmental reporting, and I can’t remember the other.

    Q4 was the ethics question in three parts re a proposed advertisement, intimidation by the company being audited, and having knowledge that a current client might try the acquisition of another.

    Q5 I didn’t do this question, so can’t really remember the requirement of it, although there was something about matters to be addressed with those charged with Corporate Gov and how the audit report may be affected in light of the situations specified.

    Thought the exam was very time pressured and quite difficult this time. Q1 was very long and was easy to overrun. Q2 seemed difficult too ? Procedures for performance public info given? Q4 was OK but ran out of time on Q3. Just hope I did enough as last exam

    yes, there was a lot to write about in Q1, whereas with the rest I didn’t feel that I was writing enough.

    IAS 2: The manufacturing of the goods was for sale rather than for use in the normal operations of the business.

    It was for either 12 or 13 marks. I didn’t really get it either, but I think I should’ve gone down the line of it being a non-audit engagement and the pitfalls of that in the current situation. Alas, that’s not what my answer does.

    Likewise! I think I did quite well in Q1, which will hopefully compensate for the rest of it!

    I did the going concern bit – where Kindansky had no cash and were in breach of covenants etc, other ratios and KPIs. But I believe there was another part?

    CVA/Viola Ltd – was that on INT or UK variant?
