    I just can’t believe, why on earth, does she have to use that complicated English. Is she trying to teach us English or test the god damn audit…

    What are people going on about the English? The paper was perfectly understandable. Perhaps some of the readers may need to brush up on their own English skills? Just a thought.

    To be fair to the examiner, the paper wasn’t difficult. How prepared I was is another matter. I am hoping for the best nonetheless.

    The paper was ok but need to work on time management more.
    Some of those tenses were tricky really.

    Paper was bit tricky but can i request all the students who were at Alexandra Palace London to report the matter to ACCA as the hall had no heating and it affected their exam. I would also urge you to fill out exam feedback on ACCA website.

    Or contact me k.9564@hotmail.com as i am intending to write a petition to ACCA regarding this

    1. To many requests per question on this diet:
    State 4 deficiencies and for each , implications and recommendations, i.e. 4×3=12 sentences to write, let alone the thinking time to pick up the relevant ones to the scenario;
    …and this repeated several times over the whole Paper.

    2. Why do the examiner has to ask things in a tricky way?
    (like Q1 part a) : explain examples of matters… ?????!!!!)

    Pre-Conditions.- Got that one wrong .Not mentioned anywhere in the Kaplan text even though it is an ‘authorised publisher’. So annoying.

    Below taken from the ISA 210
    https://web.ifac.org/download/a009-2010-iaasb-handbook-isa-210.pdf

    Preconditions for an Audit
    6. In order to establish whether the preconditions for an audit are present, the
    auditor shall:
    (a) Determine whether the financial reporting framework to be applied in
    the preparation of the financial statements is acceptable; and (Ref: Para.
    A2–A10)
    (b) Obtain the agreement of management that it acknowledges and
    understands its responsibility: (Ref: Para. A11–A14, A20)
    (i) For the preparation of the financial statements in accordance
    with the applicable financial reporting framework, including
    where relevant their fair presentation; (Ref: Para. A15)
    (ii) For such internal control as management determines is necessary
    to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
    from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
    (Ref: Para. A16–A19)
    (iii) To provide the auditor with:
    a. Access to all information of which management is aware
    that is relevant to the preparation of the financial statements
    such as records, documentation and other matters;
    b. Additional information that the auditor may request from
    management for the purpose of the audit; and
    c. Unrestricted access to persons within the entity from whom
    the auditor determines it necessary to obtain audit evidence.

    hellooooo everyone…reading your comments make me feel slightly better…as I only managed to attempt about 60% of the paper…(Questions 1,2 and 4…was just getting started on 3 when time was over)…I have horrible time management skills…

    If i think that whatever else i wrote was correct (give or take 10 marks), will I be able to pass? i heard that the marker gets a bad impression of you if you are unable to complete/attempt all the questions due to time constraints…

    How did people answer the questions by the way? Paragraphs, or the columnar format as shown in kits/past papers? I think that’s what took most of my time…trying to make nice, pretty lines and columns LOL. I forgot it was an audit exam, not drawing class! Too busy trying to impress the examiner with my neat presentation skills. Fat lot of good that was!

    Paper was not difficult but surprising, as it was not really same as past papers and there was not needed memorisation of the syllabus. Just logic based paper.
