Hello Sir could you help me that which topics will be most important and examine in the June 2013 attempt regarding paper F5, so that I will prepare myself easily without taking any tension. Sir please reply me as soon as possible. I will be waiting for your reply.

all topics
qaysargfin is correct – all topics are important. You can’t just guess topics for F5 – especially at this stage.
There are no easy topics in F5 as such, so you can not prepare easily. What you should do is prepare all topics at least at 50%, but not 50% of all topics!
Thats true as well (except aim to prepare al topics much more than 50% 🙂 )

After just taking F5. They are correct you need to prepare for pretty much everything. Go through the book thoroughly and then just do exams questions.
I reckon she (examiner) will test you for the coming exam:
– Environmental Costing & Throughput Accounting
– Decision Tree/Relevant Costing/Linear Programming
– Generally always test on some sort of budgeting definition (i.e. Participation Incremental Zero Based Activity Based Budgeting)
– Variances (Mix and Yield most likely);
– I do not think transfer pricing will come up but learn it anyway; she probably ask regarding non financial performance indicators most likely like balance sheet scorecard or Fitzgerald theory.Remember this is just a calculated guess so maybe what i mentioned non of them will come up so do not neglect the other topics. This is just from past experience; Ann Irons the examiner does not like to repeat questions often so learn the book then focus on topics such as the above:
Other important topics include: Activity Based Costing, Pay off tables, CVP Analysis, Ratios & Transfer Pricing.
This is an Ask the Tutor forum – not a forum for other people to just post guesses for the exam.
There really is no point at all in making guesses at this stage. (There is meeting of the examiner and tutors in two weeks time – her comments at this meeting may effect the future. Also, she might write an article in Student Accountant.)
The F5 examiner has specifically said that there is no point in guessing for her exam – more than once she has asked the same topic in one exam as in the exam six months earlier.
As always we will post our guesses nearer to the time of the exam – our guesses for the December exam were pretty good.
However as always they will only be guesses and at this stage certainly it is important to study the whole syllabus.
