    I think people might find this useful.
    It is a list of the cases and the areas they each cover.

    Alright. Steady on. If you're freaking out already in May, it's going to be a long bloody three months to September,

    I havent started studying at all yet and wont be until I go on study leave which is middle of June. Plenty of time in nearly 3 months to study. I thinik I will do a couple of weks of study but from advise from others who have sat them, the key is to practie case studies as much as possible!

    I'm only getting 6 weeks and that includes my annual leave. not happy. Trying to get small bits done at weekend to get me started before study leave.

    have my study plan for the 6 weeks done up but I know from last year that doing a solid week of cases isnt the best approach (might be for some but not everyone) I myself think it is better to do one full day a week of pure cases and note then what you dont know and concentrate on techniqie. leave the last couple of study days for them also.

    That's just my new planned way based on talking to my peers that passed (and were placed last year) but everyone will have a different way. . . . .

    I am getting 3 weeks for the audit elective.

    My study plan between now and then is to learn the standards as much as I can.

    Yeah marjo = that's the reason I think I need to get the finger out now. The case studies are a total melt and time consuming. I want to do some now and get to know what I need to work on so I can do that on study leave.

    Heard some big places are giving out 12 weeks for first sitting - that true?

    I was out of contract when I sat them last year so I had to take my annual leave / unpaid leave also. I took 3/4 weeks.

    I did not know they were not giving me leave and had already used up some of my annual leave.

    I have started with the Audit elective - Sean Murreys lectures are amazing as they direct you to what to focus on with specific references to the Auditing standards etc- However very time consuming to go through and read everything.

    I plan to do cases in June along with the FR toolkits - I am on study leave from July, so planning to focus on revising bits and pieces . I am told to do tax at a later stage as one forgets this very easily.

    Its all about the cases/technique!!!

    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!
