Assignment 2 FEEDBACK INTRODUCTION: The performance of most candidates was good. There is some improvements from Assignment 1 which is commendable. However, a few students failed despite the fact that this was an assignment and consultation to books, and fellow students was expected. The onus now is to revise in a systematic way to ensure good results in the final examinations. I wish you all the best. The following are few matters which came to my attention during marking i.Failing to read the question requirement clearly and therefore providing irrelevant answers which scored few if any marks. Candidates must remember to answer the question asked and not the question they wish had been asked. This problem was also noted in assignment 1. ii.Failure to fully understand the requirement verbs such as "describe", or "explain" and hence not providing sufficient depth to their answers. This was particularly the case for Question 2 on the ways in which internal audit can help the board in discharging its role iii.Providing more than the required number of points or write up than necessary especially in question 1. Students should use the marks allocation as a guide to the required quantity of information i.e. does not answer a full page for 2 marks. This was the case also in Assignment 1 iv.Poor layout of answers, including not following the motions particularly 2. Students do not know how a memo should look like v.Another important point is laying out the discussion flow and your thought process to avoid moving back and forth in your discussions. This resulted in most students repeating themselves throughout the assignment particularly in question 1(i). 1
