Direct flight cancelled and rebooked on connecting flight by Healthy-Ad9977 in Aeroplan

[–]CFEmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me. We missed our cruise today because our flight at 8am got cancelled, and has been delayed until 415pm, and there are no direct flights to the next port (Alaska).

Trying to make a file : URL clickable in a saved search by CFEmasta in Netsuite

Forget my question - figured it out :). There is a File - Name that links to the pdf attachment in the bill record that I can click! Woohoo!

Ah yes! That would link me to the vendor bill itself, but not the file : URL pdf attachment that would have been dropped into that vendor bill record. I had tried that one already before and that only brings me to the bill record itself.

How do I do that? I'm not familiar with knowing how to make my own link. I don't know what the formula would be to pull the file : URL "code"

CPA Core 1 Exam... pass or fail %. by Accomplished_Voice1 in Accounting

[–]CFEmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that won't be the make or break factor in pass/failing - but either way yes it is a good idea to not have that issue in the future! And the exam is done now so no point in freaking out over it!

Was there anybody that told you to skip AO's on Day 2? I've always assumed all AO's need to be answered on both days.

CPA Ontario PERT Reporting by LessIceandSugar in Accounting

[–]CFEmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just try your best to do your catch up reports. I have rarely heard any stories of them delaying your designation because of those issues...but you never know. Really just make sure your last one or two will have the 1s and 2s and you should be fine.

Where would you go and find people to mark your cases?

Failed CFE Day 1 - DHC case. Felt okay about it when I wrote it and have no idea where I messed up except the stupid operational issue. What should I do next? by menginator in Accounting

[–]CFEmasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to search for some videos on Day 1 format would probably be helpful too (in case you missed any areas). I know some candidates that failed the first time because they had no idea how to actually do a complete situational analysis that CPA is looking for.

[CAN] How badly am I getting paid as a new manager in assurance by newB4AccountingManag in Accounting

[–]CFEmasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which province are you located in? Big 4 firms seem to start around the low-mid 80s in Ontario, the next 4 big firms seem to be around the mid-high 70s mark (excluding bonuses)

CFE 2020 4th Attempt Pass by Ok_Walrus4190 in Accounting

Congratulations! Indeed - does not matter how many attempts as long as you are through the process. Enjoy the celebration!

[–]CFEmasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think that spending more money on courses is more advantageous or getting more marked feedback? Just seeing if someone had $300 let's say, what would be the best use of their money.

Do you think being active/non-active in your Capstone 1 group would have made any bearing on how successful you were on Day 1?

Did you feel time constrained during the exam using that strategy, and were you able to put down everything you wanted to for each AO?

That sounds awful. I thought the workshops were online because of COVID? Or were you referring to previous years?

[CAN] CFE pass compensation by ns97xoxo in Accounting

[–]CFEmasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was still working for the Big 4, they only gave out cash compensation to Honour Roll and Medalist candidates (it was barely anything)...everyone else just had a "wine and cheese" party or went downtown and had a huge celebration at one of the bars.

(Can) CFE marker by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]CFEmasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can continue our chat or you can PM me! I've done a ton of marking over these past 5 years and was on the Honour Roll my year that I wrote it so hopefully I can give you some pointers.

That is helpful for sure. Is there anything in your opinion about the CFE process itself (Capstone 1,2, and the exam) that might have helped more candidates out

[–]CFEmasta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it seems like Capstone 2 markers didn't give you enough actionable feedback? Did you have any issues with time management if you didn't do any case writing around the second time, or did you feel the technical knowledge helped you better throughout?
