yea same here...but just know how to construct them....then i am sure it will be fine.....
I'm sure there will be a question asking about the difference between a sole trader and a private limited company or something like that. Haha everyone hates lifofifo eh? What about the avco you left behind? Actually I like avco between the three.

Accounts you just need to know how to construct p&l accounts and balance sheet. Also the ratios of course.

ahh man i cant study for paper 2.....help!!!! please...
Just study:

cash flow forecast, balance sheets, profit and loss, break even, globalization, ETHICS:frown: (HATE THEM), are sure to come up. The rest like swot doesnt rly need revision i guess, and there definitely will be a nice marketing question as ALWAYS.

I know how to calculate FIFO and LIFO, but I dont understand how the difference between the two is important (need help with interpreting gay finances and calcs). I heard that the UK only allows FIFO or something, maybe the other way around but nevertheless, I dont get the impact it will have (matter of window dresssing??)
What's a product portfolio?
Do we have to know how to make a cash flow "statement"? Forecasts are okay, but Im clueless cash flow statements.
help please....
