2018年9月改革之后P7会有什么变化?来看看高顿财经ACCA小编为大家整理的变化,希望对大家考试有所帮助。
改革前 |
改革后 |
Section A 为50分必做题
Section B 为三道25分题目,选做两题
|
Section A 为50分必做题
Section B 为两道25分必做题
|
没有明确支出题目考察的知识点范围 |
明确考纲指出:
Section A 考虑针对单体公司或者整个集团的审计计划阶段
(planning, risk assessment, evidence gathering and ethical and professional consideration等)
Section B
一个问题围绕审计的completion,review and reporting 出题(可能会涉及到going concern, subsequent events, misstatements, effect on auditor’s report and critique an audit report等)
另外一个问题可以考察任何一个剩余的考纲知识点
需要注意:current issue的知识点考察可以出现在section A或者 section B
|
P7的知识点内容变化并不大,是一些零散的内容,主要是对之前的知识点进行修修补补。综合来看,我们学习P7的知识点内容与之前是一致的,只是需要额外考虑一下考试形式的变化(如表格所列)
首先就是没有任何的选做题了。这样的考试形式相比之前来说对我们也是有利和有弊的
有利的方面在于:我们不需要考试的时候去纠结到底做哪个,也就省下了浪费在选题上的时间
有弊的地方在于:我们少了选择的权利,学过P4的同学都知道,这种选择的权利是有价值的。也就是说,我们在准备P7考试的时候不能像之前那么应试了,预测题目的难度也比之前要更难了,我们需要对考纲的知识点做出不同程度的学习(根据其重要性)。一旦出到你不会的题目,不会就是不会,也没有办法像以前那样回避掉了。
根据考纲给出的考察知识点(如表格所示),结合过去的考试内容
可以给到你这样的考试技巧
50分的题目可以预见的还是有格式分四分的,格式分一般可以从开头和结尾的地方获得,比如你可以这么答:
开头时
briefing notes |
|
To:audit partner |
|
From:audit manager |
|
Subject:audit planning for C,year ending 31 December 2014 |
Introduction |
|
These briefing notes are prepared to assist in planning the audit of C,our client operating in the Pharmaceutical industry |
evaluate buisness risks,identify and explain ROMM in planning and audit procedures about the brand name,discuss ethic issues and safeguards
结尾时:
conclution: these briefing notes indicate that there are many areas of potential audit risk to be considered when develop the audit strategy for D |
and additional information should be obtained from the client as soon as possible to understand the risk |
the audit procedures recommeded in relation to will provide assurance on these significant issues
当然这些固定格式肯定不能保证你能拿到全部的格式分,你还需要根据具体题目进行修改练习,但是很具有参考价值
|
|
|
第一题通常会考察大家audit and accounting risk,针对该内容,你可以具体分析每一个risk的时候有一个固定的格式
1。 materiality |
2。 IFRS IAS ISA |
3。 根据文中信息进行推导 |
4。 there is a risk 或者 确定的error |
5。 结论(over-under) |
6。 补充信息 |
其中如果确定了error之后通常都需要考虑comparative figures and opening balances
举一个风险的例子:
|
新顾客你可以写 |
|
firm lack knowledge and experience of the business,increase detection risk |
|
but this will be mitigated by thorogh planning,develop an understanding of the business and internal control environment |
|
risk attached to comparative information and opening balance |
|
obtain an understanding of each of the susidiaries and they are all significant component with R,L,B‘s asset representing 20%,22.3%,26%of group asset |
|
针对获取额外的审计证据,也有一些固定的格式
a copy of documentation to confirm |
a review of notes/board minutes |
discuss with management regarding |
agreement of to |
recalculation of |
A written representation |
A correspondence of |
subsequent events review |
等等 |
|
针对必考的道德题目,也有固定的格式可以给到你
1。 描述事实 |
2。 identify threat/conflicts of interest(与fundmental 结合) |
3。 推导如何产生威胁 |
4。 评估重要性(推导)materiality, subjectivity |
5。 推荐safeguard |
6。 结论 |
|
还有必考的report,也是有固定的格式
materiality(针对错报的重要性) |
判断是否material or pervasive, 如果pervasive 判断是否:
1.not confined to specific elements
2.substantial proportion
3.fundamental to user‘s understanding
|
Not material |
|
考虑emphasis of matter paragraph
1.uncertainty
2.new accounting standards
3.environmental impact
4.going concern
|
ISA 706 emphasis of matter paragraph is used when a matter have been appropriately presented and disclosed in the FS and is fundamental to user‘s understanding of the FS |
the emphasis matter paragraph should clear describe the matter to the note to FS and placed after opinion paragraph |
material |
|
ISA 750 the auditor should modify the opinion in the report when financial statement are as a whole are not free from material misstatement |
the misstatement is material but not likely to be pervasive(not substantial proportion, substantial amount, as a whole) |
therefor a qualified opinion should be expressed, with the auditor stating in the opinion that except for the effects of matters described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the FS show a true and fair view |
the basis for qualified paragraph should be placed after the opinion paragraph and should descript the matter giving rise to the qualification and quantification of financial effects of misstatement |
pervasive |
|
|
|
ISA 260 all the matter affect the auditor‘s report should be discuss with those charged with governance |
other matter paragraph |
|
the other matter paragraph should be placed after opinion paragraph |
|
|
conduct of auditor(unable to withdraw as auditor, required by laws regulations, different framework, restrict the distribution) |
|
|
|
以上表格中提到的知识点基本上是每次P7考试都会考察的必考点,需要大家在平时准备的时候多放心思进去
除了必考知识点,还有一些是常考的知识点。高顿小编举个例子,比如说non-compliance/fraud/audit proposal/quality control/social and environment/going concern/due diligence/prospective financial information/forenisic accounting/business risk/ money laundering/Key audit matter paragraph等等
这些就需要大家找到这类型的经典题目进行分析理解了
我们还需要提醒各位高。顿学员注意的一点就是,相比于之前。Current issue会出现在Section AB的任何一道题目。因为其讨论的话题超前,而且通常比较难以理解,所以考到的话,大家基本都得不到什么分数。
但是我们还是可以做出一些努力的,比如说对考官的文章重视起来https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p7/technical-articles.html
P7的考官文章都在上面的官方链接里面了,至少能够把每个项目有些印象,这样不至于考到的时候什么都写不出来。
最后高顿小编祝大家P7顺利通过考试 。
