SBRThe final Push for Tomorrow

Sschoolsin10y ago
Hey everyone, I hope everyone does well tomorrow. With today being the last chance to study, I just wondered what everyone was focusing on? I'm thinking I will focus on - SOFP Consolidation with a change in structure Employee benefits - pensions Financial instruments Share based payments IFRS 15 revenue You got any thoughts? Disagree with me on anything or have any crystal ball predictions?

Thanks for the reply wesbyss. All good points. Any thoughts on what the current issue is likely to be?

I am focusing on sme and conceptual framework for Q4. P/l and cashflow for Q1. Current standards: IFRS 5,8,11,15. Hardest part with this exam is you could know the definitions of all the standards inside out but not have any idea how to apply them to the questions, half the battle is trying to understand what the examiner is testing.

Ya maybe, it was tough in June so maybe examiner will want to question it again. Who knows tho no clear pattern to follow.

Looked at the IAS 37 ED but decided to omit it. Will look at IFRS 15 again, I know the 5 steps so just need to apply that to any question that comes up. Think I will do a SOFP tonight so just to refresh it. Related parties will show up somewhere too, that is topically.

Watch your dated if doing a p/l there is usually a disposal mid year.

I found it tough, I had negative retained earnings which really threw me, also wasn't sure what to do with the PE for the NCI share when calculating goodwill. Q2 and Q3 were tough too, ran out of time. What was the IFRS 15 part about? I said it shouldn't be recognised under IFRS 15 but should be IFRS 9. Will be repeating, much better than June tho which people were still giving out about.

@wesbyss said: the stardards to be applied to each question is quite obvious and the standards are hot topics.so the exam is quite easy in my view.
I don't believe too many students find the exam that easy at all. If it was then surely the pass rates would be much higher?

It's the toughest P paper no doubt.

IAS 8 and IAS 10 were in there too, IAS 40 I think. Didn't see IFRS 2! Were ur retained earnings negative?
