Hello Kim hope you’re doing well
I wanted to ask in section A if its a loss question do we still calculate materiality on it and how do we describe it ? are there any past paper questions with a net loss in income statement in section A
May 10, 2022 at 2:14 pm #655329Welcome to my forum!
I have no recollection of every seeing a net loss scenario. In this case, or if the reporting entity has low profitability, I suggest a % of total revenue or assets would be more appropriate.
May 12, 2022 at 9:07 am #655449I actually got a loss question in my first sitting of AAA exam and i had never seen a question like that in the kit or past papers. ended up failing with a 47
Thank you so much for the reply
May 12, 2022 at 10:22 am #655452Thank you for the information – of course I only see what is published. The thing to remember if you ever see something that you haven’t come across before having worked through a kit is that you are “not alone” – and there will be lots of other candidates who are similarly bemused. Sometimes you have to think “outside the box” – if something doesn’t make sense by all means say why and suggest an alternative.

As you have asked an entirely different question on another topic I am going to answer on a fresh post – as it is more helpful to students to be able to find Qs & As through their subject titles.
