Can someone please to me what the difference is between F7 UK and F7 INT?
I am really confused as my BPP Study Text which is for the “UK and International stream” says that if you are sitting the exam for F7 UK (which I am) then the exam will be sat under International standards and that the study text that I have contains all the details under international standards. For the UK element, I need to get supplementary notes?
Would appreciate someone clarifying for me.
Many thanks.
February 21, 2013 at 7:07 pm #118442UK is getting closer and closer to compliance with International Standards so it’s now not worth BPP ( or others ) preparing a separate text. For ( mostly ) all intents and purposes, UK financial statements will comply with IFRS but there remain some ( smallish ) differences.
In the revision kit you SHOULD find re-written answers to a few ( all the relevant ) questions re-written to comply with UK standards
February 21, 2013 at 9:06 pm #118454I made a big mistake doing the UK variant of P2. The study text had no differences in, and when I complained to BPP they said you had to go on to their website to learn the differences. There’s no point doing the UK variant, it’s just extra work!
