FAE 2016

Wing Back

Just got my AAFRP result. Only managed a BC.....pretty disappointed with that to be honest as felt good coming out of the exam.

How did everyone else get on?

Bubbaclaus

HC here. Delighted. The exam suited me at the time so was expecting to be happy today.

There's no actual difference between a C and HC in terms of marking though correct?

Garrigai

HC, delighted given the disastrous week in work leading up to it.

ACA2015

A HC here as well- results across the board are excellent it has to be said. The timing of the exam pre Christmas and the extra 20 minutes really helped people clearly.

Not to worry, sure it's only one indicator.

Hi - does anyone know if there is an elective tax lecture this weekend?

ACA2015

Why did the Institute combine the C and HC results for this sitting? Would love to know the split as previously done. Seems to be a lot of HCs out there

There's absolutely no difference between them in terms of grading so there was no point in splitting them out.

Repeat student here. Could someone please put up a timetable for the tax elective for any of the locations. I'm just trying to figure out what sessions are relevant for the interim assessment? Thanks.

Hi. Repeat student here in limerick. Can somebody put to the timetable for classes in limerick please? Thanks

Melon head

Does anyone have the timetable for the tax elective in Dublin?? Please! Please!

arsenal88

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 all,

I am repeating the tax elective and have to but the textbooks myself. Is there much differnce between this years textbooks and last years?

kolbasin88

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 Guys,

Repeat student looking for some help with getting access to this years notes and Mock exam Q's from 2015.

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

Should Have Done Arts

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?

broken man

Folks repeating FAE tax elective (NI).
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

Cheers

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

Which elective?

yourhero

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.

Has anyone got an email about the elective exam yet. Normally you get an email stating your exam hall, number etc??

Cant stand the sight of the RDS anymore!

connect1988

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?

Should Have Done Arts

Is vat on property the only thing covered in session 7 and 8 ?

Uncle Mclovin

Where did you see list of suggested questions to do?

connect1988

There is a list under the notes section of the tax elective called "List of practice cases for Elective Tax NI assessment"

lydia123

Can someone post these practice cases up here please?

Should Have Done Arts

Anyone notice that R&D isn't examable on the Tax assessment. Its not ticked on the comp statement

Hey Everyone,

Sat the APM interim yesterday. Can anyone shed some light on what the difference was between indicator 2 and 3? They seem to overlap no matter how many times I read them.

It's driving me insance so any ideas would be appreciated!!

God forgive me but there is a special place in hell for people who do postmortems on exams

amo2014

Do we know what date the result of the elective interim assessment will be available in the student portal?

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?

deeks33

Hi, anyone know if the question and solutions are available yet for the assessments?

Cheers

Hi all,

I did the FAEs in 2013 and here's the link to all my notes if anyone needs them!

Any questions, let me know!

Anyone on here just sitting the APM exam? Is there a separate thread for the elective?

Kylio7

Anybody any idea where I could find last years mock paper?

TAA_ICAI

Would anyone be able to upload or PM the Tax Elective exam and mock papers updated to the FA 2014? Thanks in advance :-)

BMW22

Hi guys

Do any of ye know if there was updated notes for IFRS 9 posted to the student portal?

I cant seem to see updated ones and a lecturer told us that there should be. All FR notes seem to have been uploaded in/around same time - Sept/Oct 2015? (apart from session 9 which I see was updated)

Any thoughts on this would be of help

Thanks!

Little bit anxious now that study leave has started and the thoughts of the work to be put in has hit. But sure, lot of time to get things sorted so once the study routine kicks in, hopefully will be ok!

This sunny weather is a bit of a killer though!:cool:

Wish I had started study leave. I'm in industry and getting fe*k all.

Can anyone please tell me what PM told us was on the mocks? I missed the first hour of the lecture as I missed the train.
