Introduction Gives you essential practice of techniques covered in the chapter k p s ok k p s ok F o b e re Studying P2 k p s k o o eb k p s ok Paper P2 Corporate Reporting is a tough paper, reflecting the demands that will be made upon the professional accountant in his or her working life At the Fundamentals level, you will have studied the essentials of financial statement preparation and analysis, including those of group accounts At the Professional level, these essentials will be assumed knowledge You will be required to apply them, assuming the role of a professional adviser and analyst to the management as well as the shareholders and other stakeholders Fre o b e re F What P2 is about The P2 syllabus comprises eight main areas: A B C D E F G H The professional and ethical duty of the accountant The financial reporting framework Reporting the financial performance of entities Financial statements of groups of entities Specialised entities Implications of changes in accounting regulation on financial reporting The appraisal of financial performance and position of entities Current developments k p s ook b e Fre k p s ook b e Fre There is, of course, some overlap between these areas For example, if you are discussing current developments (H), you might be talking about the proposed changes to accounting for business combinations (D) and considering the implications of changes in accounting regulation (F) and perhaps even the ethical duty of the accountant to report those changes fairly and accurately (A) Skills you have to demonstrate At the Fundamentals level, the questions would be more easily categorised into syllabus areas However, at this level you may need to demonstrate knowledge, skills and thinking from outside the syllabus area that the question seems to be about on the surface The examination team has stated: Students should be capable of relating professional issues to relevant concepts and practical situations The evaluation of alternative accounting practices and the identification and prioritisation of issues will be a key element of the paper Professional and ethical judgement will need to be exercised, together with the integration of technical knowledge when addressing corporate reporting issues in a business context k p s ok k p s ok So the paper is not predictable That said, clear guidance has been given The compulsory Section A question, worth 50 marks, will always be on group accounts It will also deal with issues in financial reporting and will be case study based In Section B, questions could be on any area of the syllabus, but we have been told that two questions will be scenario based and one question will be an essay You have a choice of two from three o b e re F o b e re F Increasingly, questions are discursive rather than numerical, so it is vital that you get practice at answering this type of question F o b e re k p s ok k p s ok F o b e re Introduction vii Important note for UK students k p s k o o eb k p s ok If you are sitting the UK P2 paper you will be studying under International standards and up to 20 marks will be for comparisons between International and UK GAAP The ACCA UK Syllabus and Study Guide gives the following advice: Fre o b e re F International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are the main accounting standards examined in the preparation of financial information The key differences between UK GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards are looked at on a subject by subject basis The comparison between IFRS and UK GAAP will be based on the new UK GAAP as set out in FRSs 100-102, so the standard by standard comparisons that appeared in previous editions of this study guide are now combined in outcome C11 (d): Discuss the key differences between the IFRS for SMEs and UK GAAP This Study Text covers all the topics you need to know under International Financial Reporting Standards An online supplement will be available at www.bpp.com/learning-media, covering the additional UK issues Exam technique for P2 Do not be needlessly intimidated k p s ook k p s ook There is no shortcut to passing this exam It looks very difficult indeed, and many students wonder if they will ever pass But many How they this? eb e r FEasy marks b e Fre All the questions are demanding, but there are many easy marks to be gained Suppose, for example, you had a consolidated statement of cash flows with a disposal, some foreign exchange complications and an impairment calculation There will be easy marks available simply for the basic cash flow aspects, setting out the proforma, setting up your workings, presenting your work neatly If you recognise, as you should, that the disposal needs to be taken into account, of course you will get marks for that, even if you make a mistake in the arithmetic If you get the foreign exchange right, so much the better, but you could pass the question comfortably omitting this altogether If you’re short of time, this is what you should Be ruthless in ignoring the complications Look at the question Within reason, if there are complications – often only worth a few marks – that you know you will not have time or knowledge to do, cross them out It will make you feel better Than tackle the bits you can This is how people pass a seemingly impossible paper o b e re k p s ok k p s ok o b e re Answer all questions and all parts of questions F F The examination team frequently comments that students don't this, so they miss easy opportunities to gain marks Be ruthless in allocating your time At BPP, we have seen how very intelligent students one almost perfect question, one averagely good and one sketchy For a fifty mark question, the first twenty marks are the easiest to get Then you have to push it up to what you think is thirty to get yourself a clear pass For a twenty-five mark question, the first eight to ten marks are the easiest to get, and then you must try to push it up to fifteen Do your best question either first or second, and the compulsory question either first or second The compulsory question, being on groups, will always have some easy marks available for consolidation techniques viii F o b e re Introduction k p s ok k p s ok F o b e re Cumulative present value table k p s k o o eb k p s ok This table shows the present value of £1
