    Read through the BPP chapter and try to understand what’s going on. I don’t think you need to remember the chapter verbatim.

    Basically you think ‘What could go wrong?’ and what control would prevent that or correct it.

    Once the control is there, thinking of a test for it is relatively easy.

    Look at the OT lectures on controls . They emphasise the need to have a watertight trail from the start of the transaction right the way through to its conclusion (and that audit trail should be reversible).

    There is just the one chapter.

    You should do questions as you study. See here for an analysis of past questions so that you can choose suitable ones:
