    Dear Wiley,

    Your installment sales section is awful compared to these mcq's. Just thought I'd get that off my chest 🙂

    missjones513 – I have the Wiley book and I haven't figured out the whole installment sales thing. I'll look at the NINJA notes, I think it may make more sense.

    I recently completed my undergraduate degree and have signed up for the all four Becker live study sessions, beginning with Financial on the 10th of July. My materials should be arriving by the end of this week and I was wondering if I should do anything in preparation for the course prior to it actually starting. Any advice is much appreciated!

    The cheapest way to get 2012 updates is Wiley 2012 book

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows how heavily is IFRS tested in all 4 parts of the CPA exam and especially in FAR?

    Posting here for the first time, but have been following this forum for couple of months now..

    Will appreciate your replies.

    What is the effective portion and ineffective portion of a hedge?

    My understanding of an effective and ineffective portion of a hedge, when you purchase a product you hedging with one known factor (price) and one unknown factor (spot rate). You are hoping that both known and unknown factors will match in the future. If they do not match you would have an effective and ineffective portion. It will be a loss or gain, if is a loss goes to income statement and if it is a gain will goes to other comprehensive income.

    Please, I need clarification
