Audit portion went so well for the first time coz they asked about definitions and basic stuff mostly like audit risk and it's components,sampling and non-sampling risk,anomalous error,sufficient and appropriate audit evidence,whether you can rely solely on written representations if no supplier invoice,whether you can send external confirmations prior to year-end and whether if controls are very effective,can you rely completely on tests of controls and not perform substantive procedures.The last question was also asked by AFF.
C.Law was mostly about appointment of directors,chief executives,auditors,proxies,voting of directors,issuing shares on discount etc.No tax.
