Corporate Reporting. What to do to pass.

CR is a tricky technical paper and a mixture of relatively predictable pro-forma narrative and numbers work for the financial reporting element, combined with the more skills-based audit element (which can be tricky to prepare for if you do not work in Audit on a day-to-day basis).

And then we have the new Data Analytics Software element to contend with: in some ways, a very positive thing for students because the new approach of providing Advance Information before exam day provides some very big clues as to what Q2 will focus on ... but in other ways, a very dangerous time-trap for the unprepared!

However, at least CR is an open-book exam, so you can at least take some hopefully useful resources (including ours!) into the exam with you.

Our popular CR Exam Room Notes PDF publication provides alphabetically-organised, quick reference notes on all key CR areas, including brought-forward FAR content. Originally intended as a resource aimed at exam day (hence the name!), many students report that our CR Exam Room Notes PDF was actually very useful in the pre-exam phase because they found it easy to locate the content. It seems pretty obvious to us that things are easier if they are alphabetical but unfortunately the ICAEW Workbook is organised primarily by chapter, so it isn't always so easy to use.

We are pleased to announce that we can now offer our CR Exam Room Notes PDF as an instant download so no more waiting around to receive the document (and no more frustrations with Junk Mail folders either!).

Our CR Masterclass on-demand video course provides general technical revision of all key areas of CR (financial reporting, audit, DAS) combined with "batch-based" revision of all key financial reporting areas. By drilling several questions and answers on one specific financial reporting area at a time, we can help you build your understanding of the patterns in the questions and answers, showing you the most likely ways in which the syllabus will be tested.

Our CR Masterclass on-demand video course is provided with a full Pass Guarantee (which may seem brave of us since this is after all CR, but with a 97% pass rate in 2021, 98% in 2022 and 98% in 2023, we are not too worried!).

As with all the Advanced Level ACA papers, it is vital that you use resources that force you to engage actively with the content: simply reading and note-taking is very unlikely to get the content into your brain!

So for CR, we offer our Rapid Revision Question Bank book which offers over a thousand short-form questions to help you learn both the narrative and number content through a self-test format. Actively testing your knowledge through questions is always the best way to deal with the volume of narrative content in this kind of paper.

We can also offer our Technique Improvement Service to review your Mock practice attempts to unlock further valuable marks through improvements in writing style, interpretation of the question and other factors.

Testimonials

What our students say.

I won the AB Snow Regional Prize for Corporate Reporting at the August 2020 sitting with a score of 86%! Feel I should write in as I used all your Exam Room Notes books for 2020. I found them easy to follow as I used them every day since I bought them. They're logically written and very useful for quick referencing. As I barely have any time to study (my employer does not provide  any allocated study time), they saved me a lot of time compared to compiling  notes.

Just wanted you to pass on my thanks to [tutor names] for helping me to pass  Corporate Reporting on my third attempt (my first attempt using your course). Your tutors are truly second to none and I really cannot praise you highly enough  for your course content and structure. Thanks again for your awesome service - I couldn't have passed the Hell that is CR without your tutors!

Just to let you know I passed CR with score of 75 (was 48 with another provider) and Case Study with a score of 65. Thanks for all the help!

I have purchased the RRQB and Exam Room Notes for the Corporate Reporting Exam, which are proving very helpful.

I just sat all 3 Advanced exams this week. I purchased every RRQB and Exam Room Notes book you published (my workplace pays for tuition with another provider). I wanted to say thank you for the high quality materials that you  have put together. I found these extremely useful and hopefully it's resulted in 3 passes. The books were all very reasonably priced too.

Thank you! I am now a newly qualified accountant. I used the on-demand videos for CR and SBM which helped me pass first time. They really worked for me as a  visual and kinesthetic learner, so going over many practice questions through the videos was well suited to my learning style. I have been recommending your  course to my associates. Many thanks again!
