AAwhat were the topics tested in dec 2017

Question 16A: Describe and explain 8 audit risk and prove a suitable audit response. (16 marks) Question 16 or 17: Hot and Cold review (I was completely stumped here I've never come across these before). (4 or 6 marks) Question 18: A letter to management on the behalf of the external auditor regarding the significant deficiencies within an internal control system and provide recommendations for overcoming these deficiencies to management, marks being allocated for presentation. (20 marks) That's all I can remember.

thank you so much so basically for 16 they asked for audit risk and 17 hot n cold review and 18 was ICS i hope march session wouldn't be that hard thank you so much

I think question 16 and 17 were both split into 4/5 question but I can't actually remember them much as my time management was off and some of the questions I couldn't attempt. I think I only ended up attempting 70% of the exam so I'm not very confident in passing. I was hoping more areas of the syllabus would appear such as; Audit framework and regulation, Corporate governance, External audits, Professional ethics and ACCA’s Code of Ethics and Conduct, Obtaining, accepting and continuing audit engagements, Understanding the entity and its environment. I can't actually remember any part B questions on these sections but I maybe wrong.

thanks for your answer I am predicting ethics and corp gov might appear in the coming session. because the june session was disaster for me. I had issues with assertion. so no questions from substantive procedures for dec 17 session ?
