will this be more difficult or the same?
Ive got to decide today whether to take the exam now or after the upgrade!thanks again!
There is no reason why the level of difficulty should be any different.
Have you tried the specimen paper on the ACCA website?yes i took the latest mock cbe.
in my bpp book it basically says the differences are the list of qualitative information i.e. added verifiability and the income statement is renamed statement of profit and loss.
& the final 13 questions are asked differently.however ive seen on accaglobal.com and other places they mention the syllabus is more “broad” and questions more “complex”.
are there a list of comprehensive changes somewhere i should be aware of?
for instance when you told me we no longer provide for doubtful debts.
where did you get that information from?thanks again John in advance!
The syllabus has not been changed apart from the list of qualitative information and that the income statement is called statement of profit or loss (not profit and loss 🙂 ).
Otherwise everything is the same except for the format of the exam. When they say that questions will be more complex it is nothing to do with the syllabus, it simply means that in section B of the exam you are given marks for workings – each part separately – rather than an answer being right or wrong (as is the case now and in future in part (a) of the exam).
I never said that we no longer provide for doubtful debts – what I said was that we no longer call it provision for doubtful debts, but that we call it ‘an allowance for receivables’. That change of name (along with several others such as stock being now called inventory) was made several years ago.
Our Course Notes are fully updated for the current syllabus.
