Ethic is boring as per my wife - kailangan ng tiyaga para mabasa ang lahat ng reading materials. Having said that, this was the lowest my wife got in the 4 exams she did so far.
Not difficult but boring lang daw. Goodluck mate!

Paper T4 ka nalang bro Nice
Yep kasi si hubby ay graduate nung 2002 at ang accounting theory nila ay nakaspread sa iba't ibang subjects kaya nagdefend pa kami sa CPAA about it and Thanks to this wonderful forum na nagbigay ng inputs and steps ang ibang nakaranas na paano din sila nagdefend sa CPAA about Accounting Theory. Bro Magkaiba yung migration assessment at yung conversion assessment from CIMA UK to CPAA. Mahigpit talaga si CPAA pagdating sa Accounting Theory kahit sa ibang lahi hahaha kahit na nga CIMA na si hubby at CPA Australia na hindi pa din pinalusot hehehe Pero Salamat pa din sa Diyos at lahat naman ay naging maayos. Every ounce ng effort is worth naman kapag natangap na ang Golden Email. By the way san ka pala ngayon nakabase bro?
