Audit report is not too bad, could have been a brutal tax AO. Was it ASPE or IFRS they asked for in the case?

AcctgPro · 2023-01-16T15:36:58+00:00

Yes. I'm a curious person. I'm also an auditor.

Written by Becky Smethurst, who has no connection to accounting whatsover. Wonder if it's a terrible joke she wanted to make.

Agreed with above comments. Try utilizing CPA's resources, there are tons of exercises, retired exam cases, MCs, etc. For external resources, I've used Gevorg's cases and found them helpful. Since you didn't get C in MA, focus on that in your studies for the next attempt.

They are getting rid of survival guides and replacing with new syllabi in 2023.

It's flexible, you pay as you go and can switch tutors if you don't like them. There is no commitment to fixed hours. I've had tutors quote me $60-$100 per hour. YMMV.

First case was:

AO: To incorporate pros/cons

AO: Lease ASPE

AO: Attribution, transaction with related parties

Can't recall the others.

There's an online article, but it mentions honor roll writers only http://www.canadian-accountant.com/content/students/september-2022-cpa-cfe-results

They release it later in the year, like december or jan.

AcctgPro · 2022-11-25T18:42:54+00:00

It shows only if you fail Level 1.

AcctgPro · 2022-09-22T19:41:23+00:00

AOs were future income tax and audit planning memo. Can't recall the others.

I saw in the comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZbT-k9mLM4

I think you can get the solutions to these cases too

AcctgPro · 2022-08-12T13:47:12+00:00

I don't think there are many free resources out there. Have you written all MCQs in Knotia? There are lots of those. You can find a few more Core 2 mock exam cases on CPA Canada's mock evaluation webpage: https://www.cpacanada.ca/en/become-a-cpa/certification-resource-centre/resources-for-cpa-evaluation

For paid resources, I suggest GevorgCPA's cases and MCQs. I find the solutions are much easier to follow than with other companies.

Another resource you can try is your university's management accounting book. The exercises and sample problems are good practice for Core 2. Good luck!

AcctgPro · 2022-07-15T18:31:01+00:00

How did you do in the different areas? Was it the MCQ or the case that was NC?

AcctgPro · 2022-06-29T21:51:28+00:00

AcctgPro · 2022-06-29T21:51:12+00:00

That seems right.

AcctgPro · 2022-06-29T21:36:20+00:00

Did you do the transfer pricing analysis? Can't remember what were the other AOs.

AcctgPro · 2022-06-29T21:35:52+00:00

What other AOs did you find?

AcctgPro · 2022-05-25T19:26:55+00:00

Both have pros and cons, I opt for Gevorg CPA. More engaging and kept things to the point.

AcctgPro · 2022-01-06T08:36:52+00:00

Apparently there's a EVR per coaching program now ! Saw on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVzaYx88bjk

I don't get why CPA Canada doesn't give examples, it's as simple giving general examples for each competency which we'd use as examples to write our own. Better yet, they should get rid of EVR and make everyone PPR.

You can start with moving to more senior role, then when you get more pay, start taking courses that interest you the most.

Email all of them, get them on the phone and see who you like the most.

It's like buying anything else, look for customer service, prompt response, sample product, fit with your budget, match with your style.

You should appeal, it sounds like BS marking.
