    Hi Mike,

    Thank you and the opentuition team for doing such a wonderful job and helping us all.

    I have worked through the first 10 chapters for F7 but wanted to know what would be the best approach for answering the published financial statements questions? Is it better to do the workings first or layout the actually proforma?

    Thanking you in advance.

    No marks for proformas.

    Let me say that again ….

    …. there are NO marks for proformas

    So don’t waste your time writing out a proforma when that precious time could be more profitably spent sorting out another working

    Did I mention that there are no marks for proformas? In case I didn’t say so, I should have done – there are no marks for proformas

    OK?

    That’s right – there really are no marks for proformas

    You’re welcome
