Hi everyone
Can you please explain the difference between F3 UK & F3 INT . I bought the Kaplan book & found it to be rubbish as it didn’t show how to apply the theory. I’ve looked at Open Tution which also has F3 Int notes.

@sumeeha,
F3 UK is based on UK GAAP, and F3 INT is based on IFRS.
I would not call a Kaplan book rubbish. I used it myself, it provides u practical examples. However to fully benefit from the book and to prepare for a test exam like F3 u absolutely need a revision kit, not just a book.
good luck

Does it make any difference if you look at F3 UK OR F3 int? I find it very confusing with 2 different versions

Well , i’m not very familiar with UK GAAP,
but i would suggest u study F3 Int, as GAAP are being replaced by IFRS.
GAAP is specificly UK accounting practice and IFRS are international reporting standards. Don’t mix them.
