I voted hard. Its a hard exam on any day. But I was expecting a disaster.
I wrote something for everything, which is why it was hard not disaster, as I expected to be completly blank.
Some of the stuff I wrote was complete waffle. Hopefully the marker finds my waffle charming & entertaining(or maybe desperate & pathetic?), and gives me pity marks.
In order I did them…
Q4, I was able to do some mighty impressive waffling on that. Lucky, as I was expecting something I would be blank on.Q3. Again, waffle, and just wrote what came to mind, with some prompts from the scenario.
Q1.
(b)&(c), again, waffle, and just putting down whatever I could. I could use some P1 stuff for this.The simple group was fortunate for me(its my least hated one), and the adjustments were not too difficult to have a guess at(not get right, but just have a guess). There was also a sub increase of 20%, I got all confused & messed up Goodwill, NCI, and my mind went blank on working group retained earnings for the subs. Which was unfortunate. I also left the last adjustment out.
For the most part I threw down numbers, hoping for a few marks here and there.
Ahwell, I never expected full marks on the calc ques. Id say I passed that specific Q, but only just(maybe 17/18 marks)

q2. entity reconstruction….. somehow the figures just wouldnt fit in… but i did play a bit of jigsaw in that one..theory part…am not so sure…
q3.. impairment…. the info put me off so i opted it out
q4..revenue recognition…. i just hope i wrote enough to earn the enough marks….. all in all the paper just lives me blank!!! hoping for the best!.it was hard
i neva thought i would do question 4
any way it can figure out yet would CSR is doing in P2???
but still hopefull that i will passcan anyone tell me how you did the defined benefit plan???…..also impairment???…Hoo did you calculate the impairment on asset???
Was Ok, not too hard. Consolidation question was a treat. But Q2 was a bit too tricky, a lot of figures here n there. Q3 did it in last half hour or so.
Hoping to pass easily InshaAllah- Topics: 0

Got 4260 as total assets I q1. Surely incorrect. The pension payment of 45 was not made until after year end. How do we account for that? Reduce asset by 45? Actuarial loss reduced from 22 to 20.. Hmmm…
Q2 was on restructuring with 13 marks for 3 entities SFPs. Just moved some assets and liabilities around hoping to get 3-5 marks for that? Was not sure who is to pay the restructuring costs, so just left them. Could not write any comments either 🙁
Q4 wrote some general remarks applying common sence. What are the chances of passing?
