Hi,
In the exam, are you given the formula and details with respect to Altman’s Z score? Also, are you given variables for defects, mistakes and symptoms for Argenti’s A-score please?
Thanks
June 3, 2014 at 11:46 am #173206You are certainly given the formula for Altman’s Z score (or at least that happened in the past).
I’m sure you would not be expected to know all the scores in Argenti, but you should know some of the high scoring items for each section so that you could discuss a case.
June 3, 2014 at 11:51 am #173208Ok great thanks for your help 🙂
June 4, 2014 at 2:31 pm #173753Another quick question with respect to this please…
In the formula of Altman’s Z Score, are we also told what each component of the formula stands for (so X1 = working capital / total assets, X2 = retained earnings / total assets, and so on..)?
June 4, 2014 at 3:42 pm #173775Yes, you would be told this I’m sure.
June 4, 2014 at 4:17 pm #173790Ok thank you 🙂
February 27, 2016 at 6:53 pm #302343Dear Tutor,
In the detailed syllabus, specific mention is made of the Z-score and the A-score. However, several approaches are detailed in the Corporate Failure article. Can I take it that only the Z-score and the A-score are examinable?
February 28, 2016 at 7:28 pm #302491They are the only ones that can be required because they are the only ones specified in the syllabus.
