    I've yet to sit this course, but for debtors test i'd take a stab at saying look at post year end receipts?

    Does it help if you change the phrasing of the question? Obviously this query has come straight from your study material.

    Ie. Name some audit procedures to check fixed asset existence
    Translates into - how would you check that fixed assets actually exist?
    The answer - physically inspect a sample of assets (in other words go and look at them with your own eyes).

    Try thinking on the questions differently and what the questions are actually asking you to do

    Gem,

    How can you still concentrate on your studys? Shouldnt you be somewhere else? Like the hospital having a baby?

    You need some Raspberry Leaf Tea and some pineapple, lol.

    Sorry if this sounds a bit nosey, but I keep seeing people saying your baby is due any minute.

    The problem I'm having is understanding the wording in the text. This paper is a complete nightmare.

    Why don't the AAT work on the basis that we might never have done this sort of paper before. The study text is so hard to understand.

    Hi Glynis

    If you're struggling this much and worrying would it be worth considering another option? Operating a cash management and credit control system is another skills test unit so you can still do it as quick as you like rather than waiting for the exams.
