    Hello, Mr Little,

    If, during the preparation of income statement, I name elements as required – admin expenses, distr expenses, other income, for example – but forget to put brackets related to the expenses when I inout the amount, will I lose marks for this?

    Thanks.

    Absolutely NOT

    What makes you think that pass / fail is dependent upon you remembering to put figures in brackets?

    This is a professional exam that you’re doing, not some pedant’s test

    Thanks for clarification, Mr Little. This was eating my brains the whole time.
