    How do you calculate percentage incease/decrease quickly, when comparing financial data.
    Can someone explain the easiest way when using a calculator.

    Great help,Thank you Ansi.
    But it is still time consuming if you are going through FS comparisions, is it best just to pick the one’s with large increase or decrease in the exam

    well,
    once u are used to those percentages, it takes u just seconds. So i can’t say it’s time consuming. You just need to be careful, so as to pick and compare right numbers.

    As for large increase , decrease.
    You see , everything is relative. For sure in audit , you need to go for material bits.
    But when u deal with some ratios even couple of %s might be quite important.

    So try to practice as much as u can.

    good luck
