What's inside the pack.

Each ACA Notes module is split into three practical parts. Part C teaches the subject, Part B turns it into exam-ready competency notes, and Part A gives you the tools for final revision and exam execution.

Part C - Long-form Notes

Part C — Learn the subject

IFRS standards, recognition, measurement, journals, disclosures, single-company financial statements, cash flows, groups, associates, joint arrangements, foreign currency, and business combinations are taught as the technical foundation of CAP2 FR.

  • Builds the technical base across IFRS, journals, disclosures, cash flows, and groups.
  • Teaches recognition and measurement as applied reporting decisions.
  • Preserves enough detail for both single-company and group questions.
Part B - Mastery Notes

Part B — Turn knowledge into exam judgement

The material is reorganised around reporting application: choosing the relevant standard, deciding the treatment, building the journal, identifying disclosure points, and moving from a fact pattern to a financial reporting answer.

  • Focuses on standard selection, treatment decisions, journals, and disclosure.
  • Turns technical coverage into exam-ready application.
  • Targets recurring weak points in CAP2 FR answers.
Part A - Exam Desk

Part A — Execute under exam conditions

The tools focus on FR execution: standards reference cards, disclosure checklists, decision frameworks for recurring treatment calls, goodwill and consolidation skeletons, deferred tax workings, lease and financial instrument routes, EPS and cash-flow skeletons, and integration maps.

  • Includes standards cards, disclosure checklists, and journal skeletons.
  • Provides goodwill, consolidation, deferred tax, lease, EPS, and cash-flow routes.
  • Supports fast issue routing and clear workings.

What Students Say

I honestly found FAE Core so hard to get my head around at the start because it covers such a mix of topics. These notes made it all feel a lot more manageable. They helped me tie together strategy, leadership, risk, sustainability and the data side of things in a way that actually stuck.

Rikki T. · FAE Core · Summer 2025

What I liked most was that the notes did not feel overly academic or dragged out. FAE Core can get overwhelming quickly, especially when you are trying to cover things like governance, risk, AI and business strategy all at once. These notes made it much easier to manage.

James B M. · FAE Core · Summer 2025

I used these notes when I was struggling to bring my answers up to FAE standard. They helped me think more commercially and link different parts of the syllabus together instead of treating everything as separate topics. The real world examples were really great too.
