Do i have to memorise all the IAS and IFRS for exam
July 1, 2016 at 5:21 pm #324541You need to know about as much of the IAS / IFRS as is covered in lectures, course notes and mini-exercises
Do you mean “Do I need to remember all the IAS numbers and IFRS numbers and their titles?”
Here is my standard reply!
There are NO marks for quoting ISA numbers nor titles
There are NO marks for quoting IAS numbers nor titles
There are NO marks for quoting IFRS numbers nor titles
There are NO marks for quoting FRS numbers nor titles
There are NO marks for quoting law section numbers nor titles
There are NO marks for quoting titles of legislation
There are NO marks for quoting ED numbers nor titles
So, if there are NO marks for quoting these numbers or titles, why try to learn them?
July 3, 2016 at 1:08 pm #324625Im sorry to be asking this but do we have to memorise the contents of ias ?for eg in the course notes it is given Ias 10 explains control .
Do we just have to know them or memorise it ?
Sir as u said we dont have to memorise titles but is there any possiblity of having to explain any ias in exam ?July 3, 2016 at 2:19 pm #324632“Sir as u said we dont have to memorise titles but is there any possiblity of having to explain any ias in exam ?” – you have to know what the IAS says is the appropriate accounting treatment of those matters covered by the IAS
You should, FOR EXAMPLE, know how earnings per share is calculated, what is the rule for accounting for contingencies and how to treat impairments of intangible assets
