    Hi sir,
    For Q1 workings do we need to explain why we choose to include / exclude certain figures? For example if certain cost are not qualified for provision, do we need to say it’s because there’s no obligation etc

    Hi,

    In question one when preparing the consolidated accounts you do not need to put in any explanation at all. The model answers only put in explanations to help students and tutors understand what has been done in the question.

    If you write out explanations you are only wasting time and losing marks elsewhere in the exam.

    Thanks

    Sir,
    If I don’t write $ for every single calculation will I loose marks or if I write like
    $ ( 25+56+60). . then is it ok?
    cause keeping $ is huge wasting of times..

    please advise!!!

    Again can you please start this type of question on a new thread as it is unrelated to the previous question.

    You won’t lose marks for something as trivial as that.

    Thanks
