在备考P2的过程中,应该怎样更有效地为提高考场performance而努力呢?楷博财经资深老师——古丽老师现在就给大家“划重点”了!请仔细阅读哦~
01
不要再抱着你的讲义或者教材,浏览内容理解大意!你现在应该确保很多重要的定义以及准则要求已经能准确地记忆并在考场上能快速地复述,比如:
the definition offair value and three levels of inputs
recognition requirements for NCAs held-for-sale
preliminary requirements for using hedging accounting
control over invested entity
three stages of providing impairment loss on financial asset
……
准确掌握准则里相关treatments 的要求可以帮我们在考场中快速拿到很多easy marks。但是有些考生这部分拿分并不高,比如2015年关于identification of reportable operating segments (8分题)的考题,有部分考生只能拿3-4分。因为他们直接从reportable operating segment 入手,而忘记了reportable 的前提是该segment 要满足operating segment的三个条件,从而失去了应得的easy marks。
02
熟练(不是熟看)合并报表的格式。如果CSFP,强烈推荐five standard workings(最大advantage 是不用反复review notes,节省宝贵时间,而且goodwill 等计算,准确率高)。先开表,行行留距,W5自成一页。如果CSPL,强烈推荐子母公司整表格式(非bracket 相加格式),这样最大优处是各subs的net profits or OCI items 会自动被调整,无需extra NCI 利润分配workings(节省大量时间)!合并现金流量表格式更是固定,从CSPL开始捋数据,然后CSFP,CSOCIE,最后notes。
03
总结准则题目核心知识点:拿出以前练习过的题目看看自己能不能用最简洁的语言总结出:这题目里的issues是什么,该企业的做法是否符合准则要求,如果没有,原因是什么。
要通过考试真是没有short cut,以下tips are just intelligent guesses, please do not exclude other examinable areas!注意:如果你struggle with 某一题目中某一调整项,就ignore它,去做你能够应对的部分,不要受其干扰。
