The F8 Audit and Assurance exam tests students’ knowledge of auditing and assurance theory but also, very importantly, their ability to apply that knowledge to scenarios that they might well come across in their auditing careers.
There will be a new examiner for F8 from June 2010, Pami Bahl, who will be issuing her examiner's approach article to F8 later in 2009. You should look out for this article on the ACCA’s website as it will provide useful information about the F8 exam from her perspective. All questions on this paper are compulsory so any topic from across the syllabus could be examined. As stated above, it is essential that students possess both the knowledge of auditing and the ability to apply that knowledge to situations that could arise in real life.
