ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย
1highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 12Principles of accounting and double entry bookkeeping
Omitting drawings adjustments (e.g. cash taken by the owner) when reconstructing incomplete records, leading to understated sales and net profits.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always add cash drawings back to the cash balance when using the cash balance method to reconstruct credit sales or cash sales.
2mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 6Limited companies
Treating a revaluation surplus as a revenue reserve (like retained earnings) rather than a capital reserve in the equity section of corporate statements.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Show the revaluation reserve as a separate item under the Equity section, and ensure it is not included in calculations of distributable reserves.
3mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 8Investment ratios
Classifying redeemable preference shares as equity instead of debt inside Statement of Financial Position and gearing ratio calculations.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Under IAS 32, classify redeemable preference shares under Non-Current Liabilities. Add their value to debt when calculating the gearing ratio.
4highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 12Analysis of accounting statements
Writing brief bullet points in the high-mark evaluation essays instead of fully developed, continuous prose presenting balanced arguments.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Construct continuous paragraphs focusing on financial and non-financial benefits and drawbacks, and always end with a justified final decision.
5highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 4Control procedures
Failing to deduct written-off irrecoverable debts from trade receivables before calculating the percentage-based allowance for doubtful debts.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Follow the sequence: (Total Trade Receivables - New Irrecoverable Debts Written Off) x Allowance %. Do not apply the percentage to the unadjusted receivables figure.
6highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 4Financial statements of organisations
Using prohibited abbreviations such as 'PC', 'COS', 'P/L', or 'IS' on the face of formal financial statements.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Write all headings and line items out in full (e.g. write 'Cost of Production' or 'Prime Cost' completely) to secure layout and presentation marks.
7mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Project appraisal
Failing to state the full, official accounting formula before carrying out complex calculations like ARR or gearing ratio.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always write the algebraic or literal formula at the start of your working notes to earn the initial method/formula mark.
