From December 2014 there will be no more adapted exams for Paper F7. All exams are based wholly on IFRS.
The Paper F7 exam is being re-structured as follows:
New structure
The syllabus is assessed by a three-hour paper-based exam.
The exam structure consists of:
Section A | (%) |
20 x 2 mark multiple-choice test questions | |
| |
Section B | |
2 x 15 marks | 30 |
1 x 30 marks | 30 |
Total | 100 |
All questions are compulsory. It will contain both computational and discursive elements.
Some questions will adopt a scenario/case study approach.
The 30-mark question will examine the preparation of financial statements for either a single entity or a group, and may include some interpretation of accounts. The section A question and the other questions in section B can cover any areas of the syllabus.
An individual question may often involve elements that relate to different subject areas of the syllabus. For example the preparation of an entity’s financial statements could include matters relating to several accounting standards.
