Hi All,

I am using Becker to study for the FAR exam, which has 10 sections (F1 to F10):

F1: Standard Setting, Income Statement, and Reporting Requirements

F2: Matching (Revenue & Expenses), Foreign Currency Accounting, and Other Financial Statement Presentations

F3: Marketable Securities and Business Combinations

F4: Working Capital and Fixed Assets

F5: Leases, Liabilities, and Bonds

F6: Pensions and Income Tax Accounting

F7: Stockholders’ Equity, Cash Flows, and Ratio Analysis

F8: Governmental Accounting

F9: Governmental and Not-for-Profit Organizations

F10: Fair Value, Partnerships, VIEs, AROs, Liabilities, Contingencies, Subsequent Events, Financial Instruments, Review of IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP, and Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Can anyone provide an estimated weight for each section for the exam? (ie. F1 15%, F2 10%, F3 5%, etc.)

According to my FAR exam diagnostic:

Framework and Standards (17-23%)

Financial Statement Accounts (27-33%)

Specific Transactions/Events (27-33%)

Governmental (8-12%)

Not-for-Profit (8-12%)

It's not exactly in Becker's format, but you get the idea.. which is to MASTER JE's all financial statement accounts, Government and Non-profit.
