Ask the Tutor ACCA FR

Published accounts proforma methods

TCThe Calculator14y ago
Hi,
I wanted to ask whether you think it is better to lay down a full proforma first and enter numbers directly from the TB then do adjustments and add thoose also,
Or
Do all adjustments then form your proforma adding all numbers

I know it may seem like an odd question but factoring in time constraints I am wondering which method is most adopted by students to achieve highest marks, I am currently using the second.

Thanks!

I would do the second.

Ask yourself, "If I write out a proforma, how many marks will I get?"

The answer is "None"

Now "If I do ONE working, and it's correct and properly explained ( details shown ) how many marks will I get?"

Answer "One"

Need I say more?

SOME tutors / tuition establishments would recommend the first approach. Look at the marking schemes and let me know if you find ANY marking scheme for ANY question in F7 where there is a mark specifically allocated to the proforma, please
