AccountancyStudents in 2010

At AccountancyStudents we recognise that our members want access to the best resources available in order to ensure they stand the best chance of success in their exams. In 2010, we will be seeking to bring you more resources to help you realise your ambitions and pass your exams. With exams becoming increasingly demanding and with students often juggling study with other commitments, we have been actively seeking ways in which we can meet your requirements.

 

2010 will see AccountancyStudents bringing you more resources, in particular:

 

Additional Reading by our Very Own Steve Collings

Steve Collings, who is a partner in AccountancyStudents.co.uk has produced a book titled ‘The Core Aspects of IAS and IFRS’ which is available for download from www.amazon.co.uk This publication strips out the complexities and looks at the ‘core requirements’ of IFRS and IAS. Steve recognises that students often benefit from ‘flash cards’ and this book is designed to be just that. At 104 pages long, covering all the relevant IFRS/IAS it enables students to easily digest the complexities of accounting standards.

 

In addition, Steve is also producing a title for a very well-known and reputable publisher which is due for publication in the second half of 2010. This publication concerns the clarified auditing standards and we shall bring you further details on this publication in the next couple of months. Details of this publication will also feature in our forthcoming newsletters.
