I'm not in BIG 4 but someone passed on some info for Financial Reporting Assessment. It's only some of the what was given out but at least it something

Hows the study going for everyone?

I'm working through the FR stuff over the last few days, haven't done much in SFMA though.

Mypillowface · 02-01-2014 09:29AM

Study is not going great but I have mainly concentrated on SFMA case study but plan on doing FR over the weekend.

Kevint30 · 03-01-2014 02:21PM

Any Big 4 students, who have received SFMA assessment notes, from their firms. If you could post them up it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

lou2402 · 03-01-2014 06:04PM

Hi,

I cant seem to find any specific info about what sessions the assessments for FR & SFMA are covering. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks

Hi
From what I know sessions 1 to 6 for fr and all cap 1 finance and mgmt accounting as per competency statement for sfma

valowilliams · 03-01-2014 08:35PM

Hi All,
Do you know if the information on Session 4 for Management Accounting will be relevant for the case study? I just had a flick through the notes and it covers corporate structure and performance measurement? I haven't watched the lecture yet so not sure!

I've only really looked at FR. But take a look at the Competancy Statement. It lists the following standards as being examinable at the Interim Assessment:

IFRS 3,9,10
IAS 1,2,7,8,10,11,12,16,17

diarmaid92 · 04-01-2014 07:52PM

Anyone from the big 4 got notes or anything from firm please please put them up here... Im struggling a lot with SFMA

TAA_ICAI · 05-01-2014 12:08AM

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what CAP2 sessions we would possibly need to cover for the SFMA CA? As I notice not all groups have covered the same sessions - Dublin group 1 have only covered sessions 1&2. Would I be right in thinking we only need to look at sessions 1&2 then? Thanks :-)

Santi101 · 05-01-2014 09:43PM

Fairly sure everything is examinable in sfma.

Any word on notes going round for sfma yet?

TitianGerm · 08-01-2014 11:20AM

Hey guys I'm repeating financial reporting this year. I was thinking about repeating the assessment now to to improve my mark. Would anybody have the layout of the paper for this year ? What can be asked in question 1 ? Is it still SOFP, SOCI, or cash flows ?

Possible layout:

Q1: SoFP, PL, CF or CinE

Q2: some sort of consolidation, I think only Cosol. FP is on?

Q3: something else like suspense ac, detailed revaluation, cant remember what else

Hi thanks for that. Sounds if it's changed a little from last year. I thought it was a very unfair paper last year as it was extremely though for time, even more so than the summer exam. I'll see can I get a look at the sample papers.

y0ssar1an22 · 08-01-2014 12:15PM

So how is everyone studying for SFMA? Are you doing past case studies?

Kevint30 · 08-01-2014 01:40PM

not bad. I don't think there is any point in doing past papers. I am just focusing around the case study understanding tax treatment in nrv calculation, variances etc.

those notes look great. Thanks

So who is going to bring a box of notes into the exam? I didn't think I would, but the closer it gets the more I think I will. Just to have them there as a safety net I suppose.

Noonster · 12-01-2014 02:05AM

Thanks HorseBox20 for those notes- they look very useful. Haven't really looked at SFMA yet,but will plunge in tomorrow.

Spent today doing the 3 FR papers from last year. Timing is a major issue. No way I could get them finished in an hour and a half. Anyone know why there is a May paper as well?? It was a terrible paper last year!!! It's a shame that we haven't been any guidance on this exam or gone through any papers with the lecturer (D1 hasn't anyway) to help us prepare or to get a better idea of what they are looking for.....

I sat the fr in January last year, the first fr assessment, and I can tell you the feedback from the majority of students was horrific. Just go in and get whatever you done you can and move on. I got 4.3 last year and failed the main exam, but that was my own fault as I studied for no more than four days as I moved house twice, bought a house and moved jobs twice.

KingsbryKev · 12-01-2014 10:44PM

Last year was the first year of the FR CA so it was a bit of an unknown, the impression from lecturers this year is that there wasn't enough time to complete it all and not to use the Jan 2013 paper as a benchmark for your preparation
