F8 & P7 for JUNE 2011


The new year has already started and the everyone is busy getting their classes in order. This year ACCA brings some changes for the syllabus for F8 - the introduction of F7 standards into the audit paper, which makes the paper even more testing.

In the past, this paper only had F3 moving into the F8 paper, but the new examined Pam Bahl has decided to ensure that accounting standards are examined in the audit paper, this doubles the effect of the accounting standards.

It can be seen that this paper also has some flow over from F4 Law paper, which means that having a sound legal knowledge should improve your understanding of audit.

Well whats the impact in terms of amount of knowledge in the paper - actually there was some reduction in the new syllabus

Reduction in some issues about internal audit reporting and operational audits that cover marketing, HR and treasury

There is also a removal of the IT aspect of the audit issues that was initially increased due to the previous syllabus change but was never ever examined properly- so that is good news.

The increase is the implication of the accounting standards on risk

such as IAS 2 - Risk that inventory may be valued wrongly (higher of cost or NRV), but now you have to go into the exam with all the standards in F7, hopefully with the exception of group based standards (which is only examinable in P7)

I am currently only teaching this paper in KDU, Sunway JB.
