just completed p1, iv mainly had exemptions due to having done a degree, so i wondered what prior knowledge will be necessary ? is there any topic i should brush up on to help me prior to commencing p2?
Certainly basic consolidations ready for the big step up into P2 level consolidations.
In addition, revision of any / all IFRS that you heard about / learned about at university
Get yourself an up to date revision kit and supplement that with the latest P2 exam questions and answers from this website (or from the ACCA website) and start as soon as you can!
