Dear gromit,
I simply want to know whether we are permitted to use certain abbreviations/short hand form for certain frequently used and lengthy words, such as Government (Govt). Or i may be penalised for not being professional enough in presentation.
Thank you!

November 29, 2014 at 8:28 pm #214509I wanted to ask the similar thing. Would it be OK to use abriviations in calculations/workings like c/f, FCFF, PAT, PBIT etc?
November 29, 2014 at 9:06 pm #214520FCFF? Perhaps define it the first time it’s used.

FCFE free cash flow to equityThat’s how we were writing in collage. Sometimes in tabular workings there is no space for long words. But such simple things like PAT examiner would understand?
