Hi John,
Many of the chapters in the notes are not covered in the lectures (chapters 1-6, 14-16 and 20-29). Although there are many theory chapters, there are a few chapters with numbers as well. I just wanted to know how would you like us to go about this. Is this something we can do self study by going through the notes? Is it straight forward?
Second question, I was going through some of the question and answers in the ask the tutor forum and in one of the questions where the member had asked if she should switch to P5 from P4 as she was concerned that she did not expect to use the knowledge of P4 in her career to which you had mentioned that she probably would not use P5 either. I found this comment funny but also it got me thinking. So I just wanted to know, partly out of curiosity, if accountants apply what they study at workplace or not? I am still very early in my career and wanted to get this one thing straight, is it a worthwhile pursuit to look for a job where we can build on the knowledge that we gained in academics or are most of us destined to become excel bots and apply only a little of what we have studied? Please give me your advice on this.
For reference you can see the question I mentioned above:

AkashThe chapters without lectures are mainly a combination of background reading and revision of topics covered in earlier exams. They are for you to read yourself.
With regard to future careers, one big advantage of having an accountancy qualification is that you have knowledge of all aspects of accountancy. Which aspects you end up actually using in your career obviously depends on exactly what you end up doing, but it does give you the flexibility to change – whatever you think you might specialise in initially, you might want to change later and the qualification enables you to do that.
