Hi everyone, I have the Level I '08 official curriculum and I was reading through Study Session 9 thinking it might not be much different from the '09 curriculum which I currently don’t have. Just out of curiosity, I looked up the '09 LOS Outline*(link below) and it seems to be signifficantly different from '08, for this Study Session at least. Not only are the LOSs worded different, but the authors have changed from White,Sondhi,& Fried to Robinson,Greuning,Henry,& Broihahn. The rest of the study sessions in Volume 3 (Financial Statment Analysis) seem unchanged. Can anyone please shed more light on this? Also, is there a link/document documenting the complete curriculum change from '08 to '09 so I don’t have to Sherlock this thing till I get my '09 curriculum next year? Thanks. Happy Holidays, Sri * http://cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/resources/pdf/LI_Outlines_Combined.pdf

Wow, that is hard to read. I can’t decipher it. Sorry, but is there another way I can view it?
Perfect! Thanks CP.
