1. REPEAT WRITER COMPREHENSIVE COURSE - SUMMER

The Comprehensive Course which is offered in the summer, is intended to provide students with all of the tools they need to pass the UFE. The course consists of a combination of practice case writing sessions in which specific techniques and approaches vital to passing the UFE are taught. These techniques will be extremely useful in moving up the "competency" levels.

Separate Repeat Writer Stream -

Repeat writers will be placed in a separate stream from first time writers. A number of sessions will only be offered to repeat writers (i.e. What Went Wrong - How to Fix it and the UFE Marker Session). Also, repeat writers will be in their own group for some of the exam take-ups in order to take advantage of the fact that repeat writers have experience with case writing and the take-up approach can reflect this important fact. The technique sessions will be joint sessions with both first time and repeat writers.

• Exclusive repeat writer sessions:
  
  
  • What Went Wrong - How to Fix it - A session led by an experienced UFE marker, focusing on common problems in case writing, and
       demonstrating simple techniques to give the marker what they are looking for
  • UFE Marker Session - Find out from a UFE marker what happens at the marking centre and walk through a multi case and learn how    a UFE Marker differentiates between "nominal", "reaching" and "competent"
    
    

• Learn specific techniques for writing UFE cases, such as:
  
  
  • Numerical Methods - How to perform quantitative analysis quickly and effectively in order to reach at least the 'competent' level
  • Depth in Financial Accounting - Essential technique for financial accounting issues which ensures students will move from 'nominal'
       or 'reaching' competence to 'competent' once an issue is identified
  • Depth in Assurance - Focus on key planning points, relevant auditing/review procedures and a methodology for internal control and
       reporting issues
    
    
• UFE cases debriefed by experienced UFE markers - find out what they are looking for in a good answer
  
  
• Personal counselling sessions with an experienced marker
  
  
• Receive a PASS binder and comprehensive set of course materials (ie. cases and lecture notes), prepared for the 2012 UFE

2. COMP WRITING COURSE - SUMMER

(6 Days of Instruction)

For many repeat writers, the Comp is their biggest challenge in passing the UFE. To quote the UFE Board of Evaluators: "Because the comprehensive simulation provides a relatively high proportion (one-third) of the opportunities to demonstrate competence, poor performance on this simulation is very difficult to overcome".

Unfortunately, many repeat writers have simply not mastered the comp and this results in their downfall. To address this, repeat writers will be in their own stream for half of the course. This 6 day summer course consists of 3 components:

3. WINTER UFE PREPARATORY COURSE

Writing cases in the winter months will help repeat writers to ease back into the process of studying. This course will consist of the following components:

**UFE cases debriefed by experienced UFE markers - find out what they are looking for in a good answer**

COURSE DATES

COURSE FEES

$595.00 (plus $77.35 HST for a total of $672.35)

4. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING IFRS/ASPE REVIEW COURSE

Repeat writers may want a review of the IFRS / PE GAAP material in the 2012 Competency Map. To address this, a Financial Accounting IFRS / PE GAAP course will be held, which will consist of a technical review and a walkthrough of a case incorporating many IFRS issues.

This 2 day course (held over 4 evenings) will summarize all of the technical areas in IFRS and Private Enterprise GAAP (ASPE) for which students are responsible. Simulated cases will be used to illustrate how these areas can be tested on the UFE. At the conclusion of the course, students will have a good grasp of both the technical material and how it differs from old GAAP and how to incorporate this material into cases.

COURSE DATES

Financial Accounting IFRS/ASPE Review Course - May 22, 24, June 5, 7 (all evenings), 2012

COURSE FEES

$250.00 (plus $32.50 HST for a total of $282.50)
