    Never heard of Nature Flame if someone else has it


  • Registered Users Posts: 327 ✭✭chursy


    Thanks FAE UCH - really appreciate your help. Nature Flames was one of the cases uploaded in the index here

    By any chance do you have the solution for Audit Elective Case - White Distribution Limited?

    guys just to let you all know the old thread for FAE 2011 in this forum has alot of attachments and majority of the cases and resources should be there relevent to 2011 specially. If you go on the main thread ( under the accountancy heading) there is a attached sign next to it. click on it and you will see all attachments uploaded.

    I downloaded alot of stuff i.e cases for 2011 from there last night.

    Also for 2012 Audit Elective can someone help in the other thread please, dedicated to for AAE 2012

    Hi All, just wondering if anyone has a copy of The Irish Corporate Governance Annex that they could upload here?

    just watched a CG & Ethics lecture with Paul Monahan and realised it was new this year. Think it might be in the resource pack..as I am a repeat student I didn't get an updated resource pack this year!

    Hi All,

    Does anybody know where I could get a hold of all of the past mock exam papers and sample papers ? I can't seem to find them on the website. Also, what are the names of these cases ?

    I am not sure that I have these however I have taken into account all of the cases from the resource pack and the cases per the past exam papers and the student centre.

    Also, in relation to the audit elective papers, does anybody have a listing of all of the cases in relation to the audit elective ?

    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 327 ✭✭chursy


    Hi all

    Can i please request everyone to help eachother on this thread. Also before posting anything ensure you have checked all the attachments already uploaded previously ( this can be done by click on the attachments icon on main home forum before entering this thread) so we dont duplicate the same questions again.

    I think links for Mock exams have been provided earlier, if not let me know.

    There are a few posts that i have made and would appreciate if someone can help me out here.

    I will soon be uploading the list of all cases ( Excluding mocks, sample papers and past papers) for FAE core and Audit Elective

    Many thanks.

    I just had a look through the competency statement and compared with last year. The only changes I can see are as follows;

    Corporate Governance - Irish Corporate Governance Annex (additional reading material to be read along with UK CG Code)
    Tax - Use 2011 tax rules
    Performance Measurement - IFRS 9 introduced

    Is there anything else I should know as I'm not attending lectures this year. I take it the tax book is the same just updated for 2011 tax rules? Have they made any changes to old cases from last year?

    I've attached the 2011 tax reference material.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭ferike1


    Does anyone have the solutions to the 'Challenging Questions' in the Tax planning book for core? Much appreciated.

    Damn tax.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 336 ✭✭EveT


    hi guys,

    how is everyone approaching study? I have about 8 weeks off over june, jul and aug (exc block release), I dont know where to start or where to think about starting! Start with cases? Individual subject info/books like FR cases book? Elective? Im doing tax, catching up on some lectures online at mo but not sure where to start!! I am doing 4 of the CGS revision courses.

    When are you planning on starting weekend study as well as during the week study?! Im finding it hard to knuckle down this year, I think because there is so much to try to cover and I dont know where to start/ what sort of study strategy to use!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 Caden Alexander

  • Registered Users Posts: 287 ✭✭Username2011

  • Registered Users Posts: 327 ✭✭chursy

    Totally bricking it now! My boss is sick and there is noone to cover her job only me. I think I have in total 3 weeks study leave left between now and the finals in September - Eeeek :eek: Totally screwed for the mocks. Ah well! C'est la vie!

    So when looking for inspiration I found this cracking article which some of you may have come across. Well worth a read, especially for you lucky ducks who have plenty of study leave.

    I'm not sure what help I can be, but I managed to get through FAE last year with a decile of 1. I had 7 weeks off and I started off by watching the lecture explaining how the papers I marked, which I actually found quite useful (you can skip through bits of it) then spending about 4-5 days looking over Business Leadership and Performance Management (notes & sample qs). and 2-3 days for each of the other subjects, I found this gave me a decent knowledge of what I was writing about when it came to practising Case Studies.

    Then I spent the final 3 weeks just practising different case studies of which the final week was in exam mode, or as close as I could manage given my ridiculously low attention span!

    It's going to be a tough summer, but put the effort in and it'll be worth it in November!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 476 ✭✭upnorthchick


    Hey all,
    Would anyone have all the core cases that are in the resource pack saved electronically that could post them up? I have all the updated solutions but no cases... as I tore mine apart last year into sections (very very bad idea)

    Thanks in advance


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 972 ✭✭✭supernova84


    I did the exact same as I wasn't contemplating repeating. I just have one big folder broke into sections with all solutions from BL, PM, Finance etc. Are the updated solutions online?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 476 ✭✭upnorthchick


    yea they are online, im looking clean ones to just start rattling through them all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 476 ✭✭upnorthchick
