Correct Answers C B C C C B

Reliability, Relevance, Comparability, Understandability for the qual characteristics of fin statements. Transparency and Consistency for the framework?

I don’t know why I put B for #4. What a noob mistake.

Did you just say noob? Really?

Unfortunately so. We’re less than 24 hours from D-Day so I am allowed immunity!

They wouldn’t ask #4 on the actual exam. It’s misleading because 10-Qs have to be filed quarterly, not annually. Doesn’t annually imply ONCE per year?
