    Would somebody mind loading the APM 2016 framework 2016 document onto this?

    I'm a repeat student and requested this from CAI but they wouldn't send me it.

    many thanks

    Hi guys,

    repeat student here, and the only one doing ACA at work. I would like to set up a study group for preparation of 2016 exam. I know some are busy studying for elective CA and maybe AAFRP i may, but the idea is that we meet up every so often with cases done (eg steps) and compare and discuss solutions. We can also share notes. So if anyone is interested or horribly lost about FAE, you are not alone. PM me

    Hi there everyone,

    Repeating FAE this year only to discover that we now have an elective assessment to do as well..Oh joy!! I have looked at the competency statement for this assessment but still feel that all areas of the syllabus needs to be covered in order to be prepared.

    Can anyone shed a bit of light on what they are expecting as one Sample Paper is not much to go on... Panicking already!

    Thanks :)

    Must agree with you. I'm repeating the tax elective and one mock paper isn't enough. Hopefuly CASSI are telling the board the same.

    Anyone know what isn't examinable in this assessment?

    Is RC/BC still the required standard to pass?

    Could anyone fire me across the additional questions for week 2/3 and the case study solutions for week 4 + 5?
    And anything else relevant to study for assessment! It seems to cover loads! :(

    Just PM me and I will send my email

    They are not running a repeat course in Limerick. Dublin only. Deadline well passed now though. Have you thought of Chartered Grind School?

    If anyone wants my notes from last year (somehow passed with 4 weeks leave) let me know. I'm swords based and the recycling bin comes on Wednesday...

    My only advice, get in touch with Grainne from CASSI...her advice was invaluable.

    Very kind of you. Are you in industry? I would love the notes! My Cap2s were completed in 2011/2013 (break due to famuly commitments) and I am at a disadvantage as such.
    Any other advice? i assume you didn't cram it all in , in two weeks

    Hi there, I'm repeating tax as well, don't know of any changes but was considering going to the course at chartered grind school which may highlight areas i haven't covered. Will let you know if i find any changes :)

    Maybe you could pass on Grainne's advice here, or sum it up at least?

    Does anyone know if VAT on property is examinable in FAE tax elective?

    From 3.1 of competency statement it doesn't appear to be. Need someone to confirm it.

    It's not. VAT on property is Session 7-8. Only up to Session 6 is examinable.

    i was under the impression that VAT on property was examinable as the 2015 Elective Paper, SIM 2 Indicator 3, is purely on VAT on property and is on the list for the practice cases for the elective assessment? maybe this is just NI tax tho?

    I thought the exact same thing. For indicator 2 though I went with why you would pick Spain over USA, so said 80% of the market is there, we already have a presence in Spain etc. But ya serious overlap, just took a while to think.

    Did people do 2 NPVs or just do one and a sensitivity analysis?
