I thought exam was ok, was pretty proud of myself with Q1a, was only out by about $6k and I know this is because I forgot to adjust reserves for forex and the transfer from CI to NCI. The rest of the questions who knows but I didn’t feel under too much time pressure, finished a minute or two before time up. It was a nice exam, just hope I’ve passed it now.

c revenue recognition + provisionsMarch 7, 2017 at 2:54 pm #376284Did anyone attempt question 4??? May I know what are your points for this question?
March 7, 2017 at 3:29 pm #376297Hi Ooi, I did Q4. For the first part. Fair presentation, I just discussed about the fundamental and enhancing characteristics of Financial statements and how they aid in the decision of users like investors. Then discussed a bit about how errors and ommissions affect decisions. Forgot to talk about damage to reputation.
4a2. Outline how exposure draft differs in recognition criteria. I mentioned the definitions for assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses stated in conceptual framework. I chose to discuss about the current issue on Leases which address Liabilities. Mentioned Exposure Draft is now redefining all leases as that which transfers risks and rewards. Operating Lease to be included. Type A and Type B lease
4a3. Discuss benefits of Integrated Framework
I mentioned about non-financial being provided. Narrative of the contents.
4b. Purchase agreement 1. Record cost as there has been transfer of asset. Mentioned IAS16. Contingent Asset recorded.
Purchase agreement 2. Contingent Asset not recorded as its not probable that the supplier will not pay compensation. Breach of contract. I might have made a mistake here but I said that hire purchase of the machinery and additional costs incurred recognised as per IAS16. Mentioned Provision should be recognised for the possible obligation to pay supplier if contract terms fulfiled.March 7, 2017 at 3:32 pm #376298In Q1 we went from 60% to 54% which would usually still be classed as a subsidiary but the wording of the question threw me cos it actually stated that the 54% represented ‘significant influence’ which would imply it’s an associate rather than a sub? Views/comments??

Didn’t convert goodwill to $, spent too long on questions 2 and 3, didn’t discount the SBP, didn’t complete Q1b or c. So so poor but chin up, go again, I actually enjoy P2??
March 7, 2017 at 5:58 pm #376340I used 5% discount factor, there were cash flows of some kind of which I needed to find present value of year 2 and 3 can’t remember why, but I do remember using it

I used my 5% discount for paragraph 5 of question 1 as part the rights went to current the remaining had to be discounted. 85*5000*1/4 was current. Discount the rest.
Also, what was your total Goodwill on the face of the SFP I got about 74.2 after sub conversion.March 7, 2017 at 6:47 pm #376349I don’t even bothered to think why that discount factor was given.
March 7, 2017 at 6:49 pm #376350My total of CSOFP was 227.3 all tallied.
March 7, 2017 at 8:10 pm #376373No, I was really perplexed by it!

Anyone??I think this was referring to the fact that it still had control and should still be consolidated – don’t think it is great wording but that is how they have written it in the past papers I looked at.
March 7, 2017 at 9:17 pm #376406How many marks were for the directors remun part of Q1 b? I must have completely missed that line.
March 7, 2017 at 9:59 pm #376411I think that was the UK version paper judging by the question above. That definitely wasn’t on the international paper.
March 7, 2017 at 10:11 pm #376415Oh that’s good to know. My head was melted by the time I got to the b and c parts so thought I missed it. Ran way over my time and made a mess of the consol even though I’d done one yesterday from 2011 that was almost identical. It’s never quite the same when you’re in the exam hall. Pity as a mark in the high twenties was well achievable on the consol.
March 7, 2017 at 10:16 pm #376416Did the question 1A about Shared based payment really stipulate Share appreciations rights because as far as i know ,the question only quoted share options so its only recognised as equity settled and no cash settled?
March 7, 2017 at 10:25 pm #376417The exam was very fair, but I completely messed up question 1, which by the way was pretty easy compared to other foreign subs in past exams….I just hope I did enough with questions 2 & 3 to secure a pass, as I didn’t do justice to question 1.
