Hi everyone,

Just reading this...

https://www.aat.org.uk/at/content/item121719/

Has the format changed this much? I thought that the paper would be similar to June 2010

Has anyone else seen this?

Ian

    It's referring to the new paper:

    "Knowing your International Financial Reporting Standards for the new Financial Statements learning area will give you more confidence for tackling the assessment, writes David Oakes"

    and

    "The new Financial Statements assessment defines its purpose as to ‘ensure that learners understand what information is required to be provided, how it is to be presented to users of the financial statements and how the rules and principles established in IFRS apply to the process of drafting financial statements’."

    Considering there are only 2 paper based exams left for DFS (And these are both on the old standards), I think this relates to the CBA's... I've always been told to concentrate on the financial statements first and then the "wordy" questions, because as long as you have a general idea, you will still pass.

    Hehe, glad to hear it :)

    Trying to memorize all the assessable IASs/IFRSs (21) is near to impossible in my opinion.
