    Sir like there was past exam question in J14 (recorder communication) which asked for substantive procedure for directors bonus payments, in examiners answers the below 2 points were NOT mentioned, BUT if I write these 2 points in exam would it be valid procedures? i.e

    1)Compare bonus payments with budgets and investigate difference
    2)Compare bonus payments with last year and investigate difference

    Yes, These points should attract some marks, though bonuses are often profit-driven so might not be linked to the budget and could vary a lot from last year’s amounts

    1)Ok so as you told a SP that “trace bonus payments to cash book.” So would this point be enough to gain 1 full mark OR do I need to elaborate this point more like ” trace bonus payments to cash book and bank statement” in order to gain 1 full mark?

    2)Secondly sometimes there are certain points which are not mentioned in examiner’s answers but if these points are correct then regardless whether they are mentioned in examiner’s answers or not , would we gain marks for writing those points or not?

    1 The fuller version is better. Remem er 1 mark is about 2 minutes of writing.

    2 Marking is flexible, so correct points are awarded marks even if not in the model answer.
