    I know it's not answering the question but you can do this alone with past papers

    I did it last Dec and home studied. I used past papers and the small spiral revision notes. Also some online lectures from acca

    And sept should be fine if you get stuck in

    Hard to see past Dave in Independent Colleges for this. I sat it in June for the first time with Dave and I passed it. He's an excellent lecturer but I would recommend doing the full course as opposed to just going in for revision.

    I am trying to decide on my final acca option paper and I am considering doing P7. I am wondering could someone recommend a good lecturer in Dublin. I have been recommended Terence Lawless in DBS. Has anyone heard of him or gone to his lecturers and passed resently?
    This is my final paper and I want to be to finished this December. I would appreciate all advice and comments.

    Plus one for Dave. He makes the class as interesting as audit can be, and he has a good exam focus. Doing the homework every week, and reviewing his feedback on your answering technique, will help hugely.

    I note all the plugs for independent, Just for balance, I switched from DBS to City Colleges purely for P7 Sean Browne.

    The guy is mad as a brush but the key is he is a past marker of the paper and knows the ins-and outs of the examiner.

    His pass rates for the paper are over 70%, I did F8 in griifith and passed simpler F8 paper by scrape at 50% but I got P7 first time through Sean's guidance, Also its worth knowing that P2 IAS's are critical to P7 too.

    Sean Browne City Colleges IMO, Dave O'Donohue is supposed to be good too but Sean is a past marker of the paper which might give him slight edge.

    I did f8 and p1 with Terence, would highly recommend him. Passed them both with high marks first time.

    There is really only one lecturer in the game here and that's Shaun Browne City Colleges. I've been to Independent Colleges with Dave O Donoghue and also had him in Griffith College and I would definately recommend Shaun (City Colleges). He is extremely focused on exam technique makes the subject fun! He is a past marker and given that his classes can be taken at the weekend and all classes are recorded so you can go over them again and again before the exam or catch up if you miss one this college wins hands down. Best lecturer in Dublin is Shaun Browne you would be mad to go elsewhere!

    Thanks RMCBMama for replying back to me, Dublin is not an option for me at the moment and either is doing the lectures online. It really is only Limerick or Cork.

    I would definitely recommend Shaun Browne for this. If you cant attend his lectures (people used to travel from down the country to attend his lectures) but if you can't attend them you they are recorded so you could do them at home in your own time.

    Thanks Robin132, but I do not have the facility to do this at the moment either so Limerick and Cork are my only options at the moment.

    Me too! Got 49 in June exam:(
    I don't have the latest book and didn't go to any course.. was wondering if you have any material re the "summary of changes to P7"..
    e.g. identify additional information that may be required to assist the auditor in obtaining an understanding of the entity?

    I couldn't find it from my book tho, many thanks!

    Auditing Disclosures in Financial Statements came up in June 2016 sitting so would hardly come up again this time what do you think?

    Sitting for the first time in September and first time doing online course for an ACCA exam so am very nervous!

    Does anyone know what came up in the June sitting? Not one for guessing trends but would like to know what was examined last.

    I'd say ISA701 might come up in some theory format so just gonna learn some general facts on it and hope for the best!

    i think there is a good chance that key audit matters may come up.. but don't blame me if it didn't .. :rolleyes:
    it could be part of the audit report modification question...

    I say at least mention:
    Where is this new paragraph gonna be (after ....)
    and something specific about the issues mentioned in the case study

    I have such a funny feeling about the exam on Monday... don't know why..:(

    another thing come to my mind is internal audit, outsourcing, and whether or not IAs can provide Direct assistance to External auditors...
