Ahhh, I just downloaded the changes fr FAR 2014 and almost all sections had changes (unsure how deep these changes are but I need to revise one by one)

I was almost in the middle of my study and looks like I need to come back and see what happen in each section…

I hope (and pray) these are not really a big thing…

They're not a big deal…there's a few tweaks to Gov't Accounting – very minor.

Oh That is good.. I actually looked at the Roger website for the updates and I was like wow – what a huge file with all the changes.

But good to know its minor stuff and nothing major.

FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !

Snip-it from CPAExcel's website:

Several lessons in the Financial Section (FAR) Governmental and Not-for-Profit area have been updated to account for Statement 67-Financial Reporting for Pension Plans (an amendment of GASB Statement No. 25). Additionally, many of the governmental accounting lessons have been updated to account for a recent change in terminology affecting the “equity” section of governmental financial statements.

Well, the updates are minor (in my opinion) in that I believe the exam will test you on a few of the tweaks.

Granted, a review provider could update their offerings with War and Peace and throw the whole GASB set in there.

I would trust whomever you've spent your hard-earned $$ with 🙂

I dunno Mints – are you able to do a push back ? Do it if you see the additional time will help you get better at your weak topics

FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !

@Mints

Approx only 12 pages of the 172 pags (update) of Roger for FAR in regards to Gvmnt, probably is not so big thing as Jeff mentions.

@Insi, I have as well Roger review, looks like he changed the structure of the books as well. I just started reading the changes and so far, they are clarifications of things he mentioned in 2013, he goes deeper in some of the things but the essence is the same.

Looks like in te meat, the changes are not really big as Jeff mentions, still praying!! 🙂
