    I have been preparing for the INT variant for P2 and just realised that I actually registered for the UK variants.

    Do I need to apply the FRS 102 in the question 1 or only when specifically asked for please?

    Thank you

    I have a question on this too as I see in my notes and the Kaplan exam kit that there is a section for UK GAAP focus. I entered for INT – does it mean you ignore this?

    I think you don’t have to bother with UK GAAP Focus if you are sitting th INT variant.

    Correct, don’t waste your time looking at it for the exam.

    Hi,

    You need to apply UK rules throughout the entire exam, but they aren’t too significantly different so I wouldn’t worry too much.

    Thanks

    If you look at the P2 Uk past question papers, they ask specific questions regarding different treatments using IFRS or FRS 102 (the uk IFRS equivalent).

    I think in all the past questions I’ve seen, you apply the UKGAAP when specifically asked.
    I hope so.
    Thank you

    To apply the UK GAAP thru out will be tough and means I’ve failed already as I hardly understand it as I do with the IFRSs

    There are very few differences between UK GAAP and IFRS so you could still pass the UK variant paper with your IFRS knowledge.
