Paper P7 (BPP)

A risk-based and/or planning scenario in the compulsory section

Questions based on articles published in Student Accountant in the past six months - such as recent articles on the Clarity Project and Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs)

A number of requirements asking for audit procedures and required evidence in respect of specific financial reporting issues (CAATs could also feature here)

A practice-based scenario looking at professional, ethical and quality control issues

A reporting scenario of some sort
Legal and regulatory issues affecting assurance providers, especially in the context of firms’ professional liability, money laundering and the UK Companies Act 2006 (even the IAASB Clarity Project)

The requirements of other forms of assurance engagement, such as Prospective Financial Information (PFI), Value for Money (VfM) studies or agreed upon procedures

The correct treatment of more complex accounting issues (such as employee benefits or first time adoption of IFRS) than has been seen before

As in June 2009 with ISA 315, specific ISAs may be examined in sufficient detail to warrant learning the key elements for regurgitation in the exam

Discrete topics that we have not yet seen such as subsequent events as part of evaluation and review, questions using the context of internal audit or advertising for certain engagements

The need to understand current issues such as globalisation, the impact of the recession on auditors, corporate governance, risk management and auditor liability.
