I'd suggest reading the GIPS material a few times prior to the exam. There were several GIPS questions on the ethics section for LI this past year...not sure if they will this year, but better safe.
 
Thanks much Pin. :) Those GIPS materials are so dry though.

How's your studding going?

Is your library going to be open, since its final weeks and schools will be out pretty soon?
 
Studyings going ok...hitting FSA all weekend as I am doing the John A. Harris accounting workshop next weekend. I read the material all once and am about a third of the way through a second time making flashcards and doing the problems.

The GIPS are dry, but they had like 6 questions on it in December.

The library should stay open as summer session kicks in I believe, but the hours might change slightly.
 
I sometimes to go law school, and their closing that after the finals. Oh well, I get more done at home anyways.

I'll look more in depth for GIPS. Thanks for the advice :)

Pretty good study plan. I've read all the reading and created notes. Now for next week & half, go over all sessions hardcore, and then evolve into practice exams.
 
I remembered there were also several questions involving cash conversion cycles. The would say an increase in inventory would cause the cash conversion cycle to .... I specifically remember 3 or 4 questions relating to the cash conversion cyle. Takes 5 minutes to learn the components and the $conv cycle...don't skip it.
 
this is for the turnover rates and the processing dates.

Will do! Thanks a bunch. :)

Do you remember what kind of questions were tested in corporate finance?
I'm thinking probably leverage, couple of dividend questions, and how to maintain target D/E ratios. (I think they have 6 questions total on corporate finance)

have fun at the lib - study hard!~!
 
There were some NPV problems requiring the use of EAA and daisy chain. I don't recall what section that actually fall in, but I think corp fin. Must knows

-Gordon Growth Model
-ROE (the 3 stage and 5 stage)...they like to give you 2/3 or 4/5 of the components need then giving a bunch of extra info...The extra info needs to be manipulated to finding the last Dupont ROE component...Like the might give you Equity Turnover and tell you what sales are so that you can calculated the equity portion for, say the leverage portion.
-Basic/Diluted EPS (remember to ignore anti-dilutive components)
-FX problems...the are prime Econ material
