    For single company and consolidation accounts, I always find discrepancies, often just careless mistakes. How common is this??

    Very! Only a minority will actually get their SoFP to balance, and that in iteself doesn’t prove that it’s correct! Simply by adding every line across will give you a balancing SoFP

    Don’t worry about it – accept that you are not going to score 100% in the exam. therefore accept that you will make mistakes – everyone does. No-one has ever scored 100% in F7 not its earlier equivalents

    I don’t even think there is a mark for balancing as Suresh has suggested. The marks are in the workings!
