    I defo think I'll be re-sitting, totally messed up the journals which made my balance sheet & income statement incorrect - it got so bad that I put a suspense line in my balance sheet just so I could balance it up!!

    Consolidation Balance sheet was fine

    Cashflow statment was also a disaster :-(

    Section 2 however wasn't too bad

    Good luck to everyone else though!!

    i quoted the IAS i.e. definition of an asset and definition of a liability and then gave examples of each. Wasn't sure what else to do :S

    i wrote the definitions of assets and liabilities. and i also explained the difference between current ones and non current ones. What else could they expect us 2 write about them?
  • Big Bird
    Big Bird Registered Posts: 62 Regular contributor ⭐
    Yep I wrote the definitions but said that currents assest were easier to turn into cash,
    and current liabilities were short term rather than long term,

    not sure if that will get any credit or not:001_smile:

    Thats exactly what I did. I couldn't recall seeing a seperate section in our textbooks about 'current' assets & liabilities over ordinary ones.

    I did the definition & said either will be turned into cash/paid in under one year.

    For current assets - I just said it was things that a company owns, which change on day-to-day basis with the running of the company

    Current Liabilities - was things company owes, which are likely to be paid within the current year

    I also wrote the IAS's definitions of assets and liabilities which I luckily scrawled down as soon as we were allowed to write so i didnt forget it! Gave examples of current and said these are due/payable within one year.
    Didnt think it was too bad, a lot nicer than some of the past papers! :001_smile:

    2 down 1 more to go!
