How did you guys practice/study for inventory and PPE rollforwards?

On the AICPA blueprint we are told that we may have a tbs (assuming tbs are under the analysis category) where we need to:
1) prepare a rollforward of the inventory account balance using various sources of information
2) prepare a rollforward of the PPE account balance using various sources of information

I’m using Wiley and Ninja and I couldn’t find any rollforward TBS to try to do. Does Becker, Gleim, or another study program have TBS related to rollforwards?

I can't recall Becker having rollforwards, even though their SIMS were far superior to the Ninja ones… I would recommend AICPA practice test for SIMS-those are spot for the look and feel of a real test SIM! Maybe just understand what a rollforward looks like, where the numbers may come from, what it should look like? I think that's one of the easier ones:) LOL Also, knowing the format of the FS and how they interact with each other is key! The AICPA blueprints are awesome study tool-I am convinced that it helped me pass FAR on the 2nd try! Good luck! You are so close-you will get there! 🙂

To what I know, Yeager CPA Review goes over all the AICPA Blueprints in their course. I haven't taken the CPA yet, shooting to start the process next year. It's one of the courses that I am considering. I am most likely going with Gleim + Ninja MC, but Yeager's big pitch are the blueprints which I think are very important to know. You might want to check there with them and see if they do review rollforwards.
