Hi guys. As you all know it is recommended to show your formula in excel and there are few ways to do it. One is copy and pasting every cell that contains formula into another cell and just put apostrophe in front of the formula. This is time consuming.

Other way is to click on show formula but this shows the entire sheet as formula not specific cell as formula.

Please advise if there is another method? 

My self Amisha. I shall appear in May 2021 exam. Request you to add me in wp group.

Hi Guys,

I wanted to know a little bit about how the credits are being used by the mentor.

I gave my first case, my mentor checked my case and we had a hour's long skype session.

now he has deducted 2 Credits off my balance.

1 for the skype session and another for checking the case.

Is this how it works? Is this the same for everyone?

Because I dont remember this while signing up for the course.

Thanks/ Regards

-Is there usually enough parking within or around the venue for writers?

-Is parking free or paid?

-Any other important information worth noting for someone driving to the venue or writing the exam at the venue for the very first time.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Everyone,

I understand that there are exception for 50% deductible limit for meal and entertainment, i.e. when meals are paid for Christmas party, it's 100% deductible.

But how about the HST Input Tax Credit?

Is it deductible at 13% rate, or subject to 50% rate and only 6.5% eligible for ITC?

Thank you,

Suzie

Hello, 

I have the core 1 exam coming up in few days. I am looking for any tips and tricks in writing this exam and studying for it

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 

Thank you

To whom have already written the Assurance Elective exam as part of the CPA PEP process... could someone bridge the gap on some common themes you found were tested and how different the 2 cases provided were? For example, were some topics tested on both cases or were both cases individually very different that there was no overlap of topics/ discussions etc

Anything that surprised you when doing the actual exam? Like time management issues and any other recommendations you may want future writers to be aware of. Thanks
