Specify properly the source and detail your doubt. You will get proper replies.Everyone will have lots of doubts, so do not worry - try to note down somewhere whatever your doubts are. Later, when you are revising see if you still have the same doubts in some topics. If yes, then you need to concentrate on those specific topics more.
@Tina_angel said: @iwantgovtjobHowever, i wonder how would these standards like gaap and ifrs would be applicable in our indian context??
Highly applicable, especially with global boundaries now fading.
I am talking about Schweser notes!
any worth in doing financial modelling course from pristine ?
Hi Seniors,
I am evaluating my profile for CFA/MBA/FPM.
My Profile:
10th : 76.8%
12th : 71.1%
BE (CSE) : 74.23%
Work Ex: (a)3.6 years with an Indian IT MNC.
Worked in Porfolio Management, Asset Managment and Capital Markets
domain for Fortune
top 10 client.Currently working as a Business Analyst for a
Business Intelligence Roadmap Strategy project relating to Risk
Mgmt in Capital Markets.
(b) Worked as a visiting Lecturer for 5 month in Engg college,
(during the wait for my joining for current job, as I had got
campus placement) .
Certificate for beginners in Financial Markets from NSE.
I attempted CFA L1 in June but couldn't clear, planning to appear
in Dec 12 but unsure as I would be appearing for CAT 2012.
June attempt made me realise that its just the coverage which
matters. I lacked preperation on my part for CFA. Although I found
it easy to crack if one covers up the syllabus religiously.
I aspire for CFA as it (financial concepts in depth) helps me at my
day to day office work and it would add up to my profile for MBA or
FPM courses which I want to take up.
Keeping in my mind long working hours at office, and very little
time left to prepare for both CAT and Dec CFA L1, Shall I register
for CFA or not??
Looking forward for your insights and guidance.
Regards,
Deepti

Read through the schweser notes . Thats more than enough to get > 50 %
Nagu only 50% requires d to clear CFA L1 in all subject
Ohh i thought we need 70 in all to clear

you cant predict the final result .,. Rather make sure your score is > 70 in all .. that's the only thing you can do ..
Anyways good luck !

@[169132:naga25french] wht to do in order to get more than 70?
@naga25french
hey buddy could you share your CFA score card? Did you appear 12 june or prior to that?
& just asking ...are you working in any IT company or in a finance company?
Guys please explain this question
On its financial statements for the year ended December 31, Jackson, Inc. listed $2,000,000 in post retirement benefits expense. Jackson, Inc. contributed $200,000 of the expense to its retirement plan during the year. Tax law recognizes cash contributions to a pension account as tax deductible, but not expense accruals. Jackson €™s tax rate is 40%.
For the year ended December 31, Jackson, Inc. should show, based on the above, an increase in its deferred tax:
