F8 Audit and Assurance | Errata 1 ACCA F8 Revision Kit – Eighth edition June 2014 Errata sheet: November 2014 Question Page Answer ref Details of error and changes to be made 1 7 MCQ answer 28 The question asks for two independence threats which would arise should an auditing firm accept a non-assurance engagement. Only one independence threat should have been required. 27 130 MCQ answer 24 The correct answer to Question 27 (MCQ number 24, see page 21 for the Question) in the ACCA F8 Practice and Revision Kit should be B, not D. The narrative debrief relating to this question remains correct. Mock Exam 3 Q1 387 The answer to part (a), based on the original ACCA official answers, makes reference to the FRC Ethical Standards in discussing the need to rotate engagement partners on the audit of listed entities every five years. ACCA has since confirmed that the examinable document for F8 is the ACCA Code of Ethics and Conduct. Consequently, the official answer and question in the Specimen Paper will be modified to reflect the 7 year rule as per the IESBA/ACCA guidance. However, if a student were to stipulate 5 years based on ES3 this would not be marked as incorrect.
