I always come accross in the module answers that we have to check the disclosures of the assertion or the response to the weakness in the the control system.
but how we will decide that this item should be included in the disclosure ,or that every thing should be disclosed or what?
Thanks for help.

Obtain a copy of the valuer’s report and consider the reliability of the valuation
after taking account of:
– Independence/objectivity
– The basis of valuation
– Qualifications
– Experience
– Reputation of the valuer.
Compare the valuation with the value of other similar properties in the locality
and investigate any significant difference.
Re perform the calculation of the revaluation adjustments and ensure the correct
accounting treatment has been applied.
Inspect notes to the financial statements to ensure appropriate disclosures have
been made in accordance with IFRSs.September 5, 2022 at 1:03 pm #665222I don’t really understand your question – I can’t comment on the example you have given because it is not an ACCA Q/A.
Looking at real ACCA Qs, the only disclosure requirements you need to know are those that are assumed knowledge of FA – so for example, that the going concern basis is an accounting policy not (IAS 1), a reconciliation of carrying amounts (IAS 16/38), nature of event/estimate of financial effect (contingent liabilities – IAS 37).

What I mean by my question is that I should know what usually the items which require disclosure in the fianancial statements.
Thanks,
