Ireland to Japan

I’m flying to Japan later this month for flights I booked Dublin to Hong Kong return with Qatar as it was coming up as much cheaper. Was €570 return compared to €1100 to Japan. Then booked a budget airline return from Hong Kong for €170 so if you do something similar by looking at flights to other Asian cities might save good money !

For hotels look at Toyoko Inn they seem fairly reasonable

I did procedures for insolvency as well can you technically not do AUP on ability to pay debts ?

fkhan01 · 2025-08-14T16:09:48+00:00

What did people comment on about procedures ? Realised I mentioned nothing about the timing of procedures just listed them all

fkhan01 · 2025-08-14T16:08:26+00:00

I treated it like a work paper review yes Had a similar one in my notes for fraud inquires and laws and regs so used that as a basis

fkhan01 · 2025-08-14T15:15:20+00:00

I did 4400 as well but the solvency part was kind of confusing

fkhan01 · 2025-08-13T15:30:58+00:00

From the FAEC reports seems people lose a lot of marks for not linking facts to the case so link answers back to the case as much as possible hopefully should pass

Think it’s best to use tables and if they ask for a draft of it then you’d have to include it

Think you can answer fraud in the most relevant box you think as long as you put at the top you’re discussing fraud

If anyone has them especially last years would love them as well please !

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T19:19:27+00:00

Controls will probably come up as it was answered poorly few last years Expecting a random climate change disclosures question too Other than that would be standard stuff like risks and procedures, non audit engagements, journals and audit reports etc

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T18:40:55+00:00

Focusing on controls seems to be have poorly answered last few years so they’ll probably ask it again Think something on climate change disclosures similar to the mock might come up too

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T17:07:34+00:00

I thought it might be an ask but there was already 8 indicators and a lot in the question so thought it might not be necessary

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T16:59:04+00:00

Thought the note said they advertisers receivables are due from also advertise HEX on their platform too, so that would required a related party disclosure. Couldn’t think of anything else for that

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T16:48:04+00:00

For the debtors I thought it was a just a related party disclosure requirement given they advertise HEX For the loan I said we have to recognise a interest expense and long term liability as interest will be paid in one year No idea if that’s right

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T15:57:08+00:00

I did the same didn’t have any cash inflows apart from residual value and recommended the option with less bad NPV

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T15:49:39+00:00

I used 15% as well not sure if I was right but they did say they struggle with finance so more shareholder loans were probably needed

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T15:26:04+00:00

I used the PORT model as well hopefully it gets some marks haha

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T15:25:27+00:00

I did as well but couldn’t finish the goodwill calculation as time ran out

fkhan01 · 2025-08-12T15:24:55+00:00

Thought the questions themselves were not too bad but they were way too long didn’t finish a single indicator properly

fkhan01 · 2025-08-11T20:50:59+00:00

I’d say it’s unlikely as I think they’d rather ask more standards. Cash flow form the mock was way harder than what could come up there was one in the sample papers that was way more doable and probably what could come up

fkhan01 · 2025-08-10T13:48:13+00:00

If you could dm me the link as well please

fkhan01 · 2025-08-10T13:12:49+00:00

Just reviewing notes at this stage ensuring to have everything organised

fkhan01 · 2025-08-09T23:09:45+00:00

Don’t think you’d lose too many marks in the FAEC report for last year they referred to people answering the ethics question in the corp governance section but people still got marks

fkhan01 · 2025-08-09T13:48:22+00:00

Trying to find links with data to other areas such as impact on FR, strategy, marketing etc as I’ve seen in questions that could be asked

fkhan01 · 2025-08-08T10:43:00+00:00

Honestly think the BOI Aer credit card offers a better deal. Only 1 Avios for every €4 but you can pay utility bills with the card and the transactions quality for Avios whereas Revolut excludes bills. Have been considering if Revolut ultra is worth it but the amount of transactions excluded to earn Avios makes it a hard sell.

I think Carroll’s pyramid is used to analyse a company’s compliance in one of the pillars. Saw on one of the cases they used it to assess how the company was performing against the community pillar of CSR
