    The best thing to do is look here:

    https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f8/specimen-exams.html#paper

    Our guidance still needs to be updated.

    There are now 3 case OT questions, each consisting of 5 OT questions linked to a scenario. Then there are three longer, conventional written questions (30, 20, 20 marks).

    Sir, I have started studying for F8 paper but I have no knowledge of paper F7 currently.

    Would the concepts of IAS and IFRS required to study F8?

    What would you recommend?

    Thanks.

    Not in great detail. Know what contingent liabilities and post period-end events are. Not much else financial reporting needed at F8.

    If you look at recent exams and their answers (say the last 6 available), you will get a good idea of what’s needed.
