Do you have to remember the name and dates of cases and use them in answering questions?
What is the difference between the English and Global exam?
Shanda! Give me one dollar for each time that I’ve answered this question on this website and I would be a very wealthy man!
NO! You do NOT need to remember case names, case dates, statute titles, section numbers, IAS numbers, IFRS numbers, IAS titles, IFRS titles, exposure draft names, numbers, titles ……
In fact, there’s not really a lot that you DO need to remember!
The difference between English and Global? There’s an overlap of around 50% to 60% in the syllabuses. The differences lie in the depth that you need to go into in English law in the area of contract when compared with the requirement of only a superficial appreciation of contract law
In compensation, Global law looks in detail at matters such as arbitration, united nation conventions (on sale of goods and international trade)
Ok?
Is there any other place other than the text I can go to find notes on the global law matters such as arbitration, united nations conventions on sales of goods, etc
Have you tried the Internet? Put specific phrases in to your search box (“challenge arbitrators decision”) and see what comes up
How does one determine which exam they should sit?(English or Global). Is it a matter of choice?
Yes, to a great extent. At the moment, there is one further consideration. If it is within your ambition to practice as an accountant / auditor in the UK at any time in the future, then you should elect to sit the English variant.
Of course, that rule could well change – even before you qualify – but that’s the current position
Otherwise, it’s your choice
