    I’ve had a few requests for April/May Study Groups…March will be here before you know it.

    In order to take an early April exam, you should begin studying…now. 🙂

    I'm going through the 2013 AICPA release questions now. Much easier than Becker. I find the questions in Becker literally take you a minute to understand, then they throw in ridiculous dates to keep track of. My favorite, and believe me I've pulled hair out over them, is when the sell a bond in April, dated January, and want to know the balance in an account in July. Come on man !!!!!

    Here is an interesting one:

    Verona Co. had $500,000 in short-term liabilities at the end of the current year. Verona issued $400,000 of common stock subsequent to the end of the year, but before the financial statements were issued. The proceeds from the stock issue were intended to be used to pay the short-term debt. What amount should Verona report as a short-term liability on its balance sheet at the end of the current year?

    Can I take a guess jrosen92770 ?

    I think because the stock issuance happened after year end date – it would be a disclosure on the FS. You would not change the balance sheet numbers.

    Kind of thinking from what I learnt in AUD about subsequent events. When it would affect the FS numbers vs when you just do disclosures.

    That was a good one J. I love this new thing we are doing with the questions, even if I haven't been participating in the moment I've been reviewing the history and it's very helpful.

    Especially interesting is Stoleways idea. Since it seems we have a group finishing up and one in the early stages it's a great idea to post questions you get wrong. You can probably get a good explanation while we get to review topics we might not have touched lately. Win Win all the way.

    Did I mention that I love this group??

    MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

    How many letters do you need – I agree it does help and yes the groups will be switching over soon as those take FAR in April and we move into the new group for those taking the exams in May.

    Set for May 19th but may push back to May 23rd … Lets see how I progress in April 🙂

    B. Goodwill has been created in the purchase of a business. That's one of the AICPA questions, way too easy, I think it's a trap, LOL
