The dates for the online lectures have been released. Most lectures held prior to the assessment will not be put online until after the assessment.

With all their efforts in recent months to increase pass rates they go and do this.

People that are doing distance learning or people that missed lectures due to the income tax deadline have a slim to none chance of getting a good mark in the assessments.

sarahmcm90 · 05-12-2013 03:07PM

Were hve u heard this information from. So the lectures dates given r wrong r they..

You should have gotten a mail in your student center title "release dates for CAP2 recorded lectures"

I am not addressing the lecture time table just the release of them online.

When you examine release dates of sessions held prior to 31-January you will see some are not released online until March/April.

I actually emailed them about this previously. Here is the reply...

'A lot of the time we will release the recorded sessions earlier than advertised. The dates on the schedule is the latest date it will be made available to you'.

So hopefully the relevant lectures will be available when they should be.

sarahmcm90 · 05-12-2013 04:03PM

I no wat ya mean.. Some the financial ones re up online before r c.a

Like thats not good enough considering its our careers on the line. In this day and age there's no excuse for a delay. I can upload a session from my phone a few minutes after the session ends.

We should be able to view the 2012 lectures that would keep everyone happy.

Cassi Education · 06-12-2013 01:39PM

Hi all

Just to clarify regarding the online lectures. These recorded sessions are designed to help with study, not to replace attendance at lectures. Unfortunately, recording facilities are not available in all venues and it is this that leads to an apparent delay. In reality, the lectures are made available as soon as possible, taking into account when the lecture takes place and any editing that may be required.

In particular in relation to the Financial Reporting assessment, all students will have received the relevant lectures in person, excluding those that are online only, in advance of the assessment. In addition, all of these lectures are being made available before the assessment to aid students revision.

As regards the suggestion that the 2012 lectures be used, this is not possible due to changes to standards and the competency statement year on year.

If students have any further concerns, please feel free to drop us an email!

Whats everyone studying for tax and audit? has many started in a heavy study routine yet?

Santi101 · 09-12-2013 12:47AM

Havent touched tax or audit yet....wont until the new year after the assessments i'd say. Just printed all notes, exam papers for them at this stage. Will start into some FR this week.

On the Financial Reporting Assessment in Jan, is the list in the competency statement a good and complete guide for topics which are examinable? I know the examiner changed last year, but dont want to get caught short. Similar standard to last yr's paper i'm guessing?

Yeah it is a good guide for the topics, and the SFMA is in there as well AFAIK.

Should Have Done Arts · 09-12-2013 05:05PM

What date is the SFMA assessment paper being released?

Dol_tot · 09-12-2013 05:35PM

I think in and around the 18th December. It says it is due to be released a month before the assessment.

sarahmcm90 · 10-12-2013 11:32PM

I heard Monday its out :)ne one in Dublin 2 group

What session is the financial reporting assessment based on? The comp statement didn't specify much unless I just completely missed it

sarahmcm90 · 12-12-2013 11:41AM
