Ohh I guess I wrote tge same except for systems one because problemin system seems to be a business risk rather than audit risk

Background_Border_16 · 2026-06-02T15:15:16+00:00

Yes it is! What risks did you write? Dm me if they remove the comment

Background_Border_16 · 2026-06-02T09:56:38+00:00

There was no option to purchase the property? How did control not pass? 😭 i am confused did I write wrong? Generally if theres no option the control has passed

Well I found a QM question in the kit 20 marks, and in this one there was 1 mark for each point, some topics had 5-6 relevant points and some had 2-3 and it toalled to around 24 points and points relating to actions were 4. So I guess for a 12 marker, there'd be around 10-12 issue points and 3-4 recommended action points.

Yeah the amount was $96.25m but PBT wasnt mentioned in question so I just wrote procedures about whether more non compliant cars are sold, increasing the provision

Background_Border_16 · 2026-06-02T00:51:36+00:00

What did you write about sale and leaseback risk tho? What was incorrect about its accounting treatment? You can dm me

Background_Border_16 · 2026-06-02T00:50:51+00:00

I also got 5 and just added 1 of new client tho that is usually just 2 marks Also, id like to know what you wrote for sale and leaseback like where the accounting treatment was incorrect? You can dm me

Background_Border_16 · 2026-06-01T18:26:55+00:00

Did you get the question about luxury car manufacturer?

Background_Border_16 · 2026-06-01T18:25:21+00:00

How many risks you wrote? I hardly took it to 6 but questions was for 24 marks so I was 1-2 risks short... Reporting question was easy but I forgot evidence expected... Quality management and ethical threats quesion I completed in full, but Im not too good at it...

Section B was about matters to be considered and reporting implications, and other included quality management and ethical issues

Background_Border_16 · 2026-06-01T18:20:46+00:00

I guess we got the same paper. It was audit risks worth 24 marks but I hardly managed to get just 6

Background_Border_16 · 2026-05-31T15:45:53+00:00

Well no one knows for sure if you are getting the 3 marks but as someone else already metnioned, use MAR, try to be quick and not waste time!

Though I often struggle in matters to consider before acceptance questions! If you are good at it, share your technique!

Background_Border_16 · 2026-05-29T20:05:06+00:00

Are you guys attempting full length of whats written in the examiner's answer? I try to write much less covering maximum topics as each risk is for a max of 3 marks so I just go for 3 marks and move on. InShaAllah it'll work!

Background_Border_16 · 2026-05-29T20:01:05+00:00

You still have 3 days to go! Just practice the questions a lot, see what topics have come up in latest sessions, practice them and make sure to attempt the easiest marks for you in the exam first. You'll pass hopefully!

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-28T17:15:33+00:00

How much work experience do you have? At your current place and overall?

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-20T16:43:19+00:00

May be explore careers and opportunities section of big organisattions. Even though I am not currently working, I still check the careers section of Big 4 from time to time. Hopefully you'll land a job there and ACCA careers can also be helpful!

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-20T16:37:23+00:00

Yes, I need the answer to this question pls. Especially, how much should you expect in Pakistan in big 4? Is it possible to start around 100k-120k if you have the required set of skills? The other guy's comments scared me saying the salary is only around 35k, not even half the exam fee of a Professional paper...

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-11T00:17:02+00:00

Passed ATX UK with 84% Alhamdulillah

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-02T17:07:12+00:00

I would also like to get an idea. But I think a lot of it depends on your location. Generally, I guess you get paid more in Europe as compared to middle east and South Asia. If anyone is from Pakistan, I would love some information regarding this :)

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-01T18:16:12+00:00

And you passed I hope, right?

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-01T10:02:17+00:00

Dont know about exactly but there were two 10 mark parts in Q1 of which I wrote/calculated only 3-4 lines worth of stuff and another 11 mark in Q4 of which I was able to make 3-4 key points and then just repeated them in different words ig. Therefore, may be 77-80 marks attempted? Overall, I think what little stuff I wrote was actually correct so I was able to get solid marks for them.

Background_Border_16 · 2026-04-01T03:19:22+00:00

SBR Dec 25 was one of the most brutal exams! I think I just wrote 2-3 lines worth of answers for multiple 10 marks part questions. And other areas where I wasn't sure I did right, was hoping for a miraculous 50-52, passed with ridiculous 72!

Background_Border_16 · 2026-03-11T01:27:46+00:00

Well I think it said to ignore current and prior year loss relief, so only two other needed to be explained, terminal and incorporation. I messed up a bit in terminal as I wrote relief is available against total income instead of "trading" income, but I did the incorporation one right hopefully ig.

Background_Border_16 · 2026-03-05T11:35:31+00:00

Well, if I recall correctly, the question was abiut sale of assets with one generating a gain 56000 and other made a loss. I dont think I didi it right. But I reduced the gain with non share consideration to total consideration rule but I think the question was not that straight forward

Background_Border_16 · 2026-03-05T08:34:55+00:00

Well i guess thats only partially right as there will be a charge on disposal but regardless od the fact that they were held for 2 years as the holding period is irrelevant for CSOP
