    Hello,
    I am a self studier for F8, I am not really sure if it is permitted to use abbreviations at the exam on major terms like “those charged with governance” to TCWG, “financial statements” to F/S, “management” to MNGT? Please advise

    Thanks very much!

    Generally, FS for financial statements will be readily understood as will SOFP for statement of financial position.

    I have not come across TCWG before; MNGT I could have guessed.

    In general, I think it’s better not to abbreviate. It can look sloppy and might confuse. If you are really short of time and think you will use an abbreviation more than a couple of times, define it first. Eg.

    “Auditors should report serious problems in the internal control (IC) system to those charged with governance (TCWG)”.
