AUD Tough Mistake?

    Took auditing yesterday and thought MCs went really well. First 36 I flew through and the second set was harder, but i thought i held mine own.

    Sims were also okay, I had 2 research questions which is a bummer that one of those will get kicked out, but I had a mistake that I realized after that I’m hoping isnt going to cost me.

    Essentially I put Emphasis-of-matter for several answers (probably 3 of 6) in a sim for an issuer, which obviously isnt right

    I’d hope one think like this wouldnt hurt too much, especially because I got the type of opinion right, i just had the wrong paragraph type due to it being an issuer vs non-issuer.

    was just curious what people thought in terms of how big of a problem this might be for my overall score.

    yea i believe it was. it was a pretty basic sim so i bet it comes up for a lot of people. it was an easy sim, i just messed up calling it an emphasis of matter.

    I believe I could have made the same mistake…did you use the AL for it or just go by knowledge?

    knowledge. i cant remember for sure if the assumption was an issuer or nonissuer. cant remember either way, but figured it'd be issuer.

    probably couldve used the AL now that i think about it. i think i got it all right, opinion wise, just missed the paragraph

    I think as long as you did decent on the other sims and good on the MCQ you should be okay

    Are we using Emphasis-of-matter or Other-Matter paragraph differently between Issuer Vs. Non-issuer?

    This is borderline “discussing exam content” just FYI. I would be careful…

    def see that point. i figured it was okay because i didnt describe the question, but just referred to my answer for part of it. we dont need to discuss my topic further, guess a better way to phrase it would've been just asking if i messed up one sim, will i still be in okay shape to have a 75.

    If a mod wants to remove this thread, fully understand.

    Probably not gonna hurt you unless you fail by a few points. Then it's obviously a big problem. What done is done. No point is worrying about it now because you can't change anything.
