Sounds good .

I have somehow managed to get myself a week off before the assessment from work...

So that's a full week of study for the assessment..

Ted - Question

When did you start getting your folders ready.

Thats great getting the week off, the difference that will make to you! Are you using your holidays or is it time off?

I assume these are attached to the older FAE threads somewhere?

Time in lieu , great getting it off and I have signed up for the CGS so hoping to knuckle down soon enough and get on with it.

Plan to get the AAFRP exam out of the way and start putting folders together using the competence statements as a guideline to what I want in each of the folders.

Ted : Id gladly take your updated notes if you have a soft copy

Hey ,

See attached. Hope this is the one you are looking for.

Whosthedude · 25-02-2014 2:36pm

Yep that's the one,

thanks

Question to folks who passed last year - the CGS AAFRP course; is it worth it? My double entry is pish to say the least. Is it value for the €140 or are you better just getting the notes and doing it yourself over a weekend?

Any pointers on improving DE would be most welcome too - as I said my DE is diabolical. Could be a case of JFDI but if anyone was in the same position last year and passed... I'm all ears.

Anyone able to do any of the toolkit without just going to the solution &#55357;&#56833;

Debs23 · 26-02-2014 10:14am

I am going to start reading a business newspaper once a week for a general knowledge in business as I currently have none!

Does anyone know what paper would be the best to get and on what day??

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

cson · 26-02-2014 11:21am

Sunday Business Post if you're only buying one. The Institute are actually recommending the FT though iirc from one of the lectures.

What day would be best to buy the financial times? Do they have a Sunday paper that summarises the weekly news?

I have made a start on organizing myself for AAFRP but thats about it. No study done yet! My game plan is to work off the competency statement for the next 5 weeks or so and take each standard one at a time (for as much as I can bear after work

), then for the last 3 weeks attempt the sample questions and past paper. Anyone else have a better way to prepare, I"m still a little unsure?

Friday April 25th, do some study on that day.................

Reddzer2002 · 07-03-2014 4:36pm

Would anybody have a copy of the case study workshop cases that they could scan up or DM please? I can't seem to find my ones and the Institute said they are unable to issue new sets. It is not the book of cases, but the handout.

Many thanks.

aca2801 · 07-03-2014 10:06pm

would anyone know if there is two groups for the tax elective in dublin.

thumbelinda · 08-03-2014 1:01am

Hi guys, back to the drawing board with this study lark! Just wondering can anyone point me in the direction of a good set of sample disclosure notes? I'm trying to do section 2 of the workbook and I haven't a clue about disclosure notes so need to try and get a sample of ones already writren!! Would appreciate some help ☺

aca2801 · 11-03-2014 9:28pm

Hi All,

Could you somebody please post up the tax elective timetable for either dublin, cork, limerick or galway.
