    You need to brush up on IFRS 15 which probably isn’t in the Kaplan August text but it IS in the December syllabus. There’s an IFRS 15 chapter in the free course notes that you’ll find on this site

    IAS 11 and IAS 18 are now out of the syllabus but the chapter headed IAS 11 is still relevant as it demonstrates the calculations to be used for finding the figures in the context of contracts with customers

    Other than that, changes in the syllabus are pretty cosmetic

    IAS 39 is now no longer in force and is, therefore, no longer in your syllabus (with effect from September 2015)

    Thank you so much Mike!

    May I seek you advise on how to recognize and measure for “Available-For-Sale Financial Asset” under IFRS 9 if it is examinable for F7 Dec’15 exam?

    The classification of “available for sale” that was in IAS 39 has been dropped as a classification in IFRS 9

    There’s no such animal now! They’re extinct!

    Put “IFRS 9” into your search box and click on the “iasplus” option

    That should help at this late stage
