This is the most study I've ever done for an exam, yet I feel the least prepared. Will be glad when it's all over.

Best of luck everyone

Good luck this week folks remember stick to your time and don't panic and conclude conculde conclude!

TheDoctor

And tie to other parts of the report if possible

And suggest better alternatives may be available

And if we should speak to an expert

And..........

jny107

Really simple question but my head is fried at this point!

Do we assume that the current date is now, September 2014, if it doesn't explicitly state the date?

TheDoctor

State that assumption before you start your answer and you're safe

I still duno what im bringing, feel like ive too much stuff and don't even know how to bring it all in!!

faedub24

I have full suitcase - but people bring in all sorts - like storage boxes - bring as much as you want for backup, but 2/3 lever files with main points of reference

Can i ask - in Caverns case they discuss entrepren relief re:tax?

Is this under CAT? or if entrap relief examinable - sorry if i scare anyone, i think the case is outdated

Thanks in advance

Think its Retirement Relief in ROI ( ie. relief on CGT) and Entrepreneur Relief in NI.

Yep just an NI reference! The tax solutions can be very confusing, don't know how many times I've given myself heart failure only to realise the double dutch I'm looking at is an NI solution instead of an ROI solution

Bringing in all the books and a folder for each of the super six I was going to bring less but just to be safe. Best of luck everyone I am going to try not do postmortem of the exam until Thursday night!

Always better to be safe than sorry! I for one will be bringing in loads, just for security! I won't be doing any post mortoms at all, I can't stand it, only makes you feel awful! So on that note I will sign off probably until nearer results day! Best of luck everyone, thank you for the support over the past 2 months! We all deserve to pass this, we can do it!

Nothin but the Truth

I think its prediction time

FR - IAS 2, IAS 18, IAS 8

BL - Strategy x 2

IMP - Hacking, Evaluation of 2 systems
Tax - Incorporation Decision, Re-org of company
Finance - Valuation, FX Risk and Sources of Finance (Re-negotiation of banking terms)

Good luck everyone, get the game face on

Was thinking digital marketing - good artice in the June 2014 Accountancy Ireland - would recommend bringing it in as looks almost like a sample answer for strategy!

I was just about to go to be calmly but now seeing this I'm panicking! You have mentioned most of my weak areas!

Because that's the sort of exercise you enjoy most? If you read it that way, maybe you've got the urge lad. Enjoy.

Anyone else relying on devine intervention at this stage and hope that they're not that mean to us? Besides, transfer deadline day...with the rumours..........and the signings.........and the drama........and the managers talking out of car windows, how can the average man concentrate on a day like this.

littlemiss123

Wide awake, can't sleep, feeling sick!

Never felt this this before an exam, not even the CAP 2! This is torture!

Was a bit panicky over the weekend but I think I've made peace with myself and for some reason cautiously optimistic about tomorrow.

Best of luck to you all. Your on the last leg of a long journey but it's almost time time to finish up and start down the rest of your career path as qualified accountants.

Finance - $ payment
Audit - disclosures and financing stuff
Tax - sell assets (or shares?)
IMP - website/online presence
PM - Transfer prices
BL - Corp Gov
FR - were you supposed to do something with the subsidiary disposal? Couldnt see where to fit it in and ran out of time so just did a wee appendix at the back with a goodwill calc and a couple of other things

What am I missing?

BL strategy on closing the stores

Very fair paper.

Nerves got the better of me personally, so didn't execute it great.

Is that not PM assessment of divisional performance? Nah?

I didn't get time to finish the trf price question, or the IMP one.

For the tax one did yous say to sell shares instead, set up a new company and get sse?

2014fae

Any recommendations for indicator subjects tomorrow based on that?
