    hi, did anyone get the balancing figure for SOFP as 946.05… thats the amount mine balanced with..
    I got 944.8 and it balanced with group reserve and all. Still can’t believe it cos I hardly ever balance my questions. Paper was far better than what I experienced in P4!
    I wasnt so comfortable with section B.. and time was a problem for me.
    But thanks OT for the tip on foreign subsidiary! really helped alot!

    Question 1 was a SofFP with two subs, one in a foreign currency, for the other the parent increased their share of ownership on the last day of the year.

    I did the UK version and there was a bit about the recognition of subsidiaries under the Companies Act compared with under international standards. The overseas sub in the scenario was unable to transfer funds to the parent. Also a question on UK v Int on development costs, and two other things I’ve forgotten.

    Q1: Forex Consolidation. Exact Replica of the Question Ribby. The only difference was a small piecemeal acquisition from 70% to 80% at year end.

    Q2: IFRS 1: First Time Adotion Of IFRS.

    Q3: IAS 37, Framework, IAS 19, IAS 24, IAS 18. All things were easy for those who had studied these standards well.

    Q4: IFRS 9 classifications, measurements & application. With the conflict on Impairment test approach.

    The paper was a piece of cake for those who had given proper time to their studies. unfortunately for me I couldnt study after giving P4 & P5. Else I couldve easily scored real good. I have to accept one thing Graham Holt is an amazing gambler. Everyone expected this sitting to be extremely difficult. Instead it was as if the examiner tested us on P2 basics. A great paper.

    Just Wish i Had Studied Well !!!

    Section B

    Q2 I didn’t do. It had four parts and was a ‘discuss the treatment of the above’

    Q3 Also had four parts and was a ‘discuss the treatment of the above’. Bits on:
    – company trying to treat a defined benefit pension as defined contribution
    – a long-term bond that was defaulted on and so payable immediately but the bond holders had given a waiver
    – employee bonus payable in three years based on 2% pa with an annual payrise % and a discount %.
    – something else???

    Q4 Was split into a few sub questions. All about Financial Assets.
    – A big one on just explaining the changes under IFRS 9
    – Two smaller ones on future losses.

    @aquafire, I didn’t bother adding up the balance sheet as I doubt it would have been correct or got me any more marks. I’ve always been advised not to worry about it as the time is needed for the rest of the paper.

    The exam was ok, section one very similar as ribby, thanks to examiner for that as well as many thanks to open tuition always very closed prediction.although it has lots of bits and pieaces but is managable if you have been well prepared for exam. although i took all that time to finish it and then runed out of time for the other 2 . Section 2 lots of things but still I would say was ok

    Good luck to you all who took the exam

    I actually didn’t think 1c was all that easy (and I can’t see the relation with Ribby for that part).

    They wanted to buy a sub but I was just struggling to see what was wrong with that? Okay they said they’ll not pay more than what they thought it was worth. That’s how most acquisitions are done?! What did you guys write?

    The answer was already in the question text, you had to copy and paste the last paragraph: income and expenses in dinars, management independent from parent, raising its own finance, prices determined in dinars, etc.

    for 1c—I think the parent was underestimating the net assets by not recognizing the intangible asset i.e. customer acquisition, and through this he would overestimate the purchased goodwill…nd the financial statements won’t be faithfully represented….

    it doesn’t really matter if you balance or not? Even then you can get 90% marks in a question. The real things are adjustments and your workings.

    This wouldn’t have been an easy paper if what everyone was talking about didn’t come up. But everyone seems to take it easy. The only problem is that markers may notice that and strict the marking process, as though it seems they have to keep the pass range less than 55%.
