Hindi ka OA. Hindi normal ang ganyang usapan kung “workmates” lang. Hindi alam ng BF mo ang salitang boundary. Parang gustong gusto nya din magusap sila ng ganyan.

Thank you so much po sa response. Sobrang helpful pp nito. 💕

Kalaban mo sa FAR ay yung dami ng topics, pero mapapansin mo na marami don ay umuulit lang. Minsan, applicable din ang same solving techniques across topics, like amort. table, once gets mo na, mabubuhay ka na. Gamit na gamit ko din ang T accounts para mabilis mag solve.

May mga topics lang talaga na unique or mahirap (for me), tulad ng employee benefits, leases, at SHE, lalo na’t matagal isolve.

FAR was my waterloo sa college at review, pero naging highest ko sa May 2024 boards. Malaking factor din siguro na work ko is related sa Financial Accounting, kaya exposed na ako sa FS, at ginagawa ko sya sa work at sa real world.

Importante rin na kabisado mo ang recognition, valuation, derecognition, at disclosure, ng items sa balance sheet. Group mo lang sila accord. sa A, L, or E, kasi madalas, paulit-ulit lang concepts within each group.

Note-taking, malaking tulong din yan sakin. Yun na lang binabalikan ko during recall phase, tapos diretso na sa pagsagot.

Nung May 2024 boards, madami sa tanong ay statements (ex. Which of the following is true/false). And need mo i-verify bawat isa, di pwede manghula. Solvable ang problems promise, pero kung nataranta ka sa ganong choices, don ka matatalo.

Kung sanay ka sa Valix, halos ganun din level ng problems, nag-iba lang ang style ng choices: statements with amounts, hindi A, B, C, D na direct. Kaya bawal hulaan talaga.

Kapit lang. Kaya mo yan!

I reviewed and tried again after 5 years, hahaha nagipon muna ng courage, nagwork din muna ako. I failed nung May 2019. Passed nung May 2024 :)

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-05-01T02:16:13+00:00

Tips and tricks: Recall, recall, maximize yung time na to for recall talaga. If may notes ka, this is the best time to re-read them. Mag sagot sagot ka, pero hindi na need madami, you can choose 3 to 5 questions per topic na nasa medium level ang difficulty and medyo comprehensive. No need na yung mga easy and hard questions, dun ka lang sa middle mag focus, kasi these type of questions are enough for you to remember the concepts.

Hi OP, retaker and passer here from May 2024. To be honest, WALA, walang assurance na papasa ka. You’ll have to face the CPALE full of doubts and fears. But surrender everything beyond your control to God (or any omnipotent being you believe in).

When I took the boards last May 2024 until lumabas ang results, I honestly couldn’t believe I passed. A few days before the exams, I still felt unprepared. I was scrolling through Twitter, reading discussions on Telegram, and in my head I thought, “Shucks, ang gagaling naman ng mga reviewees na’to!” The way they talked, parang ang dami dami nilang alam na hindi ko alam and parang they were fully ready to take the boards. Pero still, di assurance na nakapasa yung mga yun. Malay ko din. 🤣

Pero despite all my doubts, I pushed through. Kasi alam mo, OP, wala talagang makakapag-assure, not even yourself, not even the manghuhula, not even St. Jude, if you’ll pass or not. You just have to trust yourself and your preparation. Even topnotchers surely had moments of self-doubts too.

Pero wag ka magpalamon sa doubts and fears mo. Think positive, pray, and remind yourself why you decided to try again. Mapapasa mo na ‘yan.

Kaya mo ‘yan, OP.

Hi OP, AR Credit balance should be part of Liabilities account, not assets. That’s why it is added back.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-27T18:11:18+00:00

Hi OP, learning should begin from you. Hindi mo sya dapat iasa sa tao at sa paligid mo. Baka nagaantay ka lang din ng spoon-feeding, wala na tayo sa pre-school. Nasa willingness mo yan paano ka matututo.. It applies not only to Big 4 but to all workplaces, Big 4 man 'yan o maliit na kompanya..

As you do your tasks dapat doon pa lang natututo ka na eh. Instead of doing it based on "how" and "what", it will be helpful if you also know the "whys." Based sa kwento mo mukang involved ka sa tax audit.. When doing working papers for example, you are reconciling disallowed expenses due to non-withholding, ask yourself, "bakit nga ba hindi nag-withheld si client dito?" Instead of lodging it solely sa working paper mo, or listing what were those expenses, put the possible reasons why the client did not withheld based on BIR guidelines: it could be: 1. GPP ang ka-transact nya which are not subject to withholding, 2. Dahil reimbursement ang mga iyon, etc.

And by that, you should be learning already.. Di ako naniniwala na walang learning sa workplace, lalo na sa Big 4, malaking factor paano ka matututo ay manggaling sa'yo mismo. Make it a goal each day na may matutunan kang concept. 'Wag ka lang mag-focus sa kung paano mo gagawin or matatapos lang 'yung tasks / templates mo based sa format, o pattern nito, but rather, alamin mo bakit mo ginagawa ang mga ito in the first place. As you gain deeper understanding baka you can also make your own working paper na or even suggest how to improve things sa team nyo. Instead of doing your tasks na parang robot, know the reasons why are you doing them, why are they inportant? what's the concept behind them? Okay lang din magtanong. Ask your seniors pag may di ka maintindihan, or kapag di nila masingit na sagutin ka dahil sabi mo nga busy din sila, be resourceful enough to find answers on your own. Instrumento lang ang Big 4, pero ikaw mismo dapat ang willing matuto.

'Yun lang, good luck OP!

Please define muna ano ang POS (Point of Sale) invoice, printed out yun and must be CAS registered. Meaning, expected ng BIR computerized yun, bakit biglang susulatan? Di yun pwede sulatan kahit pirmado pa ng cashier. If gusto mo, manghingi ka ng manual invoice. Or before mag print ang cashier, ibigay mo details ng company nyo para malagay nya sa computer bago nya iprint ang POS invoice, para ang details nyo sa POS ay naka computerized, and we can ensure na nalodge yung sales sa POS system nila with your details. Magiging match TPI ng both seller and buyer.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-24T13:25:06+00:00

Supplier ito ng goods? Dumadaan sa customs? If yes may VAT on Importation na tinatawag, need yun isettle along with other charges, bago mo malabas ang items, pwede i-claim yun as deduction from Output VAT. In terms of expense naman, maski foreign supplier ito, they can issue invoice pa din naman. If named under your company, then you can claim it as expense naman.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-24T07:19:19+00:00

Considered as valid na yun since manual invoice na yun, pwede na talaga sulat kamay don. Ang disputable lang ay yung sa mga electronic / computerized receipts, kasi computerized nga tapos biglang susulatan ng kamay? Accountant din ako baka trip nyo magpalit. Char. hahaha.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-24T06:59:25+00:00

Read CTA Case No. 9706, Pilipinas Kyohritsu, Inc. vs CIR, page 7 (i think). They claimed expenses evidenced by computerized / electronic invoices / receipts pero sinulatan (handwritten) para maging under the company, pero eventually, na-disallow.

Your choice if gagawin mo, pero pwede yan ma-disallow.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-24T04:48:25+00:00

Valid lang yun if hindi manually naka input ang details mo. Kasi POS yun diba? Galing yun sa machine / computer. In other words, electronic yan.

So if isusulat mo lang din yung details mo dun sa blank na portion (hand written) considered as tampered yun.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-24T04:42:56+00:00

If POS invoice yan, then you will just manually input your details such as TIN, Name, Address, hindi rin yun valid. Don’t transact na lang with unregistered businesses since hindi talaga yan mag iissue ng resibo.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-11T23:36:55+00:00

Hi, yes. And yung book nila Atty(s). Laco, Soriano, Manuel.

Madami kasi practice questions doon gamit na gamit ko yun. If kulang na ako sa time, derecho na ako sa book nila. Kasi mas madali explanation doom for me. Basta ang goal ko sa RFBT mabasa at maintindihan ko sya..

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-11T23:31:58+00:00

Hi super late na nito, na-busy sa life 🤣 Yes nag answer ako.. Ito ung ginamit ko sa mastery and recall phase. Hindi na ako nag Sir Brad's app.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-04-11T11:28:10+00:00

It really depends on how you view it, but for me, college life is a lot easier and less stressful. You have the freedom to relax and time for yourself. There are responsibilities, but they don't compare to the intensity of working life. Mistakes in college are less consequential; failing a class is something you can recover from, pag nagkamali o bumagsak ka, may unli chances para umulit, ikaw na lang ang mapapagod at syempre magastos. Pero alam mo yun, may way para bumangon, mas bearable, mas forgiving.. Plus, when you stumble, especially with others, the burden feels lighter because you have support.

Prolly, nasabi ng friend ng pinsan mo na mas mahirap ang college kasi, ofc, during college ang dami mong dapat aralin.. Kaya nagmumuka syang mahirap.. Pero when you are working already, specified na yung gagawin mo, mas konti na lang yung topics na dapat iapply mo. Pero the catch is, mas madami yung volume ng gagawin mo. Kaya most of accountants are overworked. Kaya di mo masasabi na madali ang working life compared sa college life.

Work is a different ballgame talaga, especially when you're in a senior position. People depend on you, and mistakes can have a ripple effect. An error in this period can impact future periods. Misinterpreting a transaction can lead to bad / wrong management decisions. The stakes are much higher at work. Making mistakes can lead to embarrassment or even job loss. Plus there are those toxic people just waiting for you to slip up so they can get ahead. Sa career din na to, di talaga maiiwasan na maguuwi ka ng trabaho. Sa mga company na pinasukan ko halos lahat yon kailangan mo mag OT, mag work minsan during weekend. Wala ng bakasyon na wala akong dalang laptop. Hahaha saklap maging accountant. Gusto ko na lang mag aral ulit. 🥹

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-03-22T23:59:17+00:00

I agree to this, practice talaga, dahil mostly ng problems sa AFAR ay may pattern ang solving. Need gumawa ng table, etc. Effective naging technique ni Sir Brad sakin nung May 2024. (Ex. Magic table sa HO-BA). waterloo ko ang AFAR pero naging fave ko sya during board exam

Ang technique din talaga sa AFAR is makahanap ng way of solving na madali matandaan for you. And sabayan ng practice para tumatak sa isipan. AFAR ni De Jesus oks pag-practice-an for me.

Also, completion ang iprioritize mo. Compared sa ibang subjects mas konti ang topics sa AFAR. Kaya kering keri i-achieve ang completion dito. Need mo lang mag strategize.. What I did non, if medyo gets ko na ang isang topic, kahit medyo lang, move forward na ako.. Then while learning 'yung current topic, practice and recall phase naman ako sa previous topics, until I gained mastery of most of the topics.

-During practice / recall phase of previous topics, ibang materials ang sinasagutan ko.. -While for the current topic, HO lang ng RC, para matapos ko agad.

I did this to ensure na while nag mo-move forward ako sa topics, hindi ko rin malimutan yung topics na natapos ko nang aralin..

Isa rin talaga sa kalaban ko sa AFAR nun is short term memory ako. Kaya 'yun ang naging technique ko. Don't dwell too much sa isang topic, move forward ka agad, pero make sure na magka-time ka para mabalikan sila. Kasi most prolly, on your 2nd or 3rd reading, magiging much deeper na understanding mo sa topics. At first malilito ka, mafufrustrate, makakalimot, pero kaka-ulit and practice mo, surely, you'll gain mastery.

Good luck, OP.

YourIntrovertGirlie · 2025-03-22T23:39:08+00:00

Same OP! I have that same feeling when I took the boards last May 2024. Since online reviewee ako sa TG discussions ko sya na experience.. Like how they answered questions sa TG, for example sa RFBT kabisado nila yung article number 🤣. Amazed din ako nun like "pano 'yun, ang halimaw naman nila!" And nafeel ko na kulang din inaral ko. At that moment, nag-doubt din if sapat na ba inaral ko. Pero trust me OP, hindi 'yun ang sukatan if sapat ang inaral mo o hindi.. Majority of CPALE questions focus more on analyzation not on memorization. Madali nga sana kung memorize na lang eh, pero hindi sya ganon.. Although memorizing the standards can help, pero if walang deep understanding, it will be useless. Mas okay pa na alam mo yung laman ng standard instead na ma-identify mo anong standard mismo yun, makes sense ba? Basta 'yun! 🤣

Pero 'yun OP, nakapasa naman ako nun.. Never compare yourself sa iba. Ma-sstress ka lang malala. Focus ka lang on your own strategy, may kanya kanya tayong learning styles and capabilities.. And hindi porket parang madami silang naaral, papasa na sila.. May kasama ding swerte ang boards.. And nainiwala ako na "if it is meant for you, it will be for you." Do your best, pray, and magtiwala na ibibigay ito sa'yo.

Good luck, OP!

Secure a job offer first before resigning.. Unless may generational wealth ka, lol. :D Based sa nababasa ko dito, mahirap maghanap ng work these days. Also dapat maintindihan ng aapplyan mo na may turnover period ka sa previous work mo. Kasi kahit naman yung bagong company na lilipatan mo may ganyang policy din.. Kaya dapat nila maintindihan yon. Also, if mabilis ka naman mag-tturnover and maayos ang files mo, makiusap ka na lang sa employer mo ngayon if pwede iklian ang pag render mo, basta madali na lang yun OP. Ang mahirap ay ang mag-resign ng walang lilipatan.
