    Biff – they were not able to refinance the notes into bonds. Bonds would go int the non fund account as GLTL but notes are short term liabilities recorded in the capital fund.
    What helped me with government was knowing the accounting equations for each type of fund and what financial statements are required.

    I took BEC saturday and have no clue how it went. Did you walk out of yours wondering whether it was easy or hard? This is the strangest feeling – i have no clue how it went but feel no anxiety over it all. During and after aud i was an absolute wreck. How did you feel after BEC? Did you have a gut feeling? I have nothing.

    I walked out of BEC a good 95% sure that I would be retaking it. Lots of IT terms that I never once saw before through Ninja or Wiley. If I pulled off an 83, I wouldn't worry too much.
