I am almost two weeks away from taking my first CPA Exam (FAR). I have compiled a list of methods and calculation problems that I want to master since I feel that it would be beneficial and important to do so. I want to know what you all think of this list and if there are other concepts and topics you think I should add. I feel very prepared with Governmental and NFPs since I just completed the course with LSU online so I didn’t include any of those. Also, I have memorized the IFRS differences so those didn’t make the list either.

EPS

Compiling a Statement of Cash Flows

Equity Method & Goodwill

LIFO & FIFO

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Leases and Bond Schedules and JE’s

Depreciation and Depletion Methods

Gleim baby!
Grand Valley State University - '15
Accounting & Finance
FAR - 2nd Window '16

@Hassana FYI – I was sick to my stomach when I took FAR and had what felt like a lot of questions on the areas that were supposed to be the least tested. -_-
