krstnamParticipantI think….
You get a security and it loses value. So you debit the loss account and that goes to OCI. You credit the b/s valuation account to write down the security to fair value. Now your b/s doesn't balance. So at the end of the period OCI gets closed to AOCI which is an equity account. So in essence you've reduced an asset and reduced an equity account so you'll be back in balance.
Say throughout the years that security took some gains and losses-that's ok, those just keep going to OCI which closes to AOCI until it's sold then it's fully recognized.
I could be wrong tho.

krstnamParticipantThis is my notes page. It's pretty summarized but I think it should be enough. It's over half memorized, usually I take an hour before the exam to memorize my page but I started early this time. I'm going to write all that down the second I take a seat in the testing room – they give you 10 minutes before the test actually starts to go through prompts and I use that time to quickly write down my list.

MscfisherParticipant@mtaylo…i cant even make it to 200. this material is soooooooo boring. golly! Anyway i will see if i can finish strong today. Exam is in 1 month.

AnthonyParticipant@krstnam Why would you subtract deprecation for indirect method of cash flows? Don't you add it back?
Not to mention with the recent changes, they cut down the prompt to 5 minutes.
April 23, 2017 at 10:35 am #1537314
MscfisherParticipant@krstnam… good list. I do believe you have to add back non cash expenses such as depreciation.

Spartans92Participanthey guys, picking back Far after a 2 month hiatus. Things aren't getting easier after busy season, instead becoming more lazy. Getting all the motivation i need from my fellow Ninja/ CPA candidates.

HoldMyBeerCPAParticipantAfter 1200+ MCQs (trending and average score are both at 77%) and 250+ on Roger, I decided that Im going to take a practice exam today. I want to get a feel for what it's like to take this exam and see if I have a chance at finishing this thing in time.
I know Mama said practice exams are the devil, but would you guys recommend using Roger or Ninja for a test run?

krstnamParticipantGood catch for the Indirect Method on CF Depreciation!
It looks like I originally wrote the formula correct but then I've been copying it incorrectly 🙁 There's the problem with memorizing formulas without conceptualizing them. LOL
@Anthony, thanks for the info. The last time, I got 10 minutes per screen. I think there were 2 or 3 screens before the actual test. If it goes down to 5 minutes per screen I'll still be okay I think. Do you know if it's 5 minutes per screen or just 5 minutes total? I'll see if I can find out too.April 23, 2017 at 12:46 pm #1537398
AnthonyParticipant5 minutes in total for the prompt and 5 minute for the feedback screen at the end of the exam.
