in Feedback for AAT
i am really confused what sign I need to use to indicate negative numbers. On the introductory screen It is:Minus signs should be used to indicate negative numbers. However on the sample assessment-questions 6 and 7 variances are shown in brackets £fav/ (adv) and there is no clear instruction what should be used. Brackets? Minus signs?Please can you help me?

    Either as far as i am aware.
    -£720 is the same as (£720)

    Brackets or minus signs are acceptable, in my organistion we always use brackets as ink smudges or marks on paper may be mistaken for a minus sign - I hate failing to balance because of poor quality paper or an accidental ink mark!
