    Good approach mate. I approach it kinda different like it’s customer segment are young people, older people and how the company receive their revenue from each of them and about the strategy of the company high cost .. I might make a mistake

    @anikedisu thanks a lot for your encouraging words. I will not give up for sure, 1 point away from a dream come true. I will work more and hopefully get it in September.

    Please let me know something about what additional information will want for due diligence 3b(i)

    I wrote for additional information:
    Prior year audit fin.statements
    Contracts agreements with suppliers
    Organisational structure with the key members of the company etc.

    Do i needed to say like this way instead?
    A copy for prior year audit FS
    Obtain a copy of contracts etc.

    If i include them without saying a copy or obtain is wrong?

    Thank you. Please someone to reply me i am quite concern!

    Risks that the family members are all members of the board and not independency

    Also any e-commerce risk?
    The systems are under pressure with growing on the online sales? Control risk?

    What do you think? These are risks well to mention?

    Thanks.

    My overall though is dissapointment. Not only my valuable time giving for this paper and the stress i got all the way till the day of the exam.

    You pay so much for a paper, learning and studying so long for a 3 hours exam and the exam is all about tricks and anything than examining the real content of p2. I do not want to give up but this force me to do it!! I am feeling so low and down.. Really upset!

    Thank you Trephena.

    I meant that in the annual report 2016, the extract of the FS includes the years 2016,2015, 2014 together. Do i need to include the 2015 annual report as will be the same financial statements but the other 3 years included 2015,14,13.

    This was my question.. is it okay to include it like this?

    Hi @trephena @ehsan

    I am doing my appendices for Ryanair and competitor Easyjet.

    I include the B/S and income statement of Ryanair from its annual report 2016 that it contains the B/S and I/S the 3 years together like 2016, 2015, 2014.

    Is it okay to do that or do i need to include the extracts of the annual reports of 2015 and 2014.

    Also for Easyjet, for the annual report of 2016, this includes 2016 and 2015 only. The annual report of 2015, includes 2015 and 2014 together. I need to include only this right?

    Hope you understand.

    Do i need to include a cover page for the appendices of their FS? or just include the pages that include the statements?

    Thanks again!

    Hi @trephena ,

    a quick question: I finished my presentation, do I need to include notes in slides (at the end of evey slide there is a ‘click to add notes’). If i don’t as i know my topic and how to present, is this necessary to include for the markers?

    Thanks!

    Hi Trephena,

    When I first communicate with my mentor, I didn’t registered to the mentor list as I know that managed previous candidates that i personally know.

    Is it mandatory to sign there http://www.oxfordbrookesmentoring.co.uk before submitting my work?

    or is it okay?

    thanks!
