Hi I am planning for self-study paper P5.

Can anyone advise if there are any more or less as compared to the old syllabus paper 3.3 ?

Thanks

There have been some additions ,deletions & amendments to the syllabus of the 3.3 paper now P5
Compare the 3.3 study guide to the new P5 study guide- a lot remains the same
Read the examiner's approach Student accountant(SA)May 07 page 44,
& New for Old -SA Sept 06 page 30,
Hope this helps
regards Mark

The New for Old article in Sept 06 did not provide much information and just simply list certain areas to be examined in a higher level such as budgeting, pricing and relevant costing...

The Examiner's Approach in May 2007, gave more details required competences in the new syllabus. However, detail removed and/or added items like CVP or EVA info is not listed clearly.

Anyway, thanks for help
