    Miraji,

    I remember the following topics:

    Q1 Write explanation note to directors regarding three issues:
    – Calculate Goodwill and explain directors what they did wrong in initial calculation and show the journal to amend their error;
    – Correct treatment of the disposal of Associate from 40% to 10%;
    – Derecognition of the Financial asset (bonds) with calculation according to Principles of derecognition in IFRS 9.

    Q2 Show correct accounting treatment and ethical issues re Provision/disclocure for Subsidence of the production line, where repair in the next year was probable but no information about costs. Also, proposal to account 80% of subsidiary as an Asset held for sale because this part of business was not profitable (if I remember correctly).

    Q3 – 3 questions re Intangibles including difference in recognition principles btw IFRS & FRS 102; what should be capitalised, accounting policies re cost and revaluation etc.

    Q4 a) discuss how fair would be inclusion of particular entity’s APMs into FS (EBITDAR* (*rent), Income from Operating cash free activities (free from PPE purchase, intangible purchase and issue of shares) and something else.

    b) cash flow (killer one). I was struggling to understand the requirements for this confusing question.

    It felt like the worst paper so far. I was expecting slightly easier questions for the new exam. Real accounting life is not that hard 🙂
    I got the same Goodwill @jeromeb.
