As part of this regular qualification review,to ensure best alignment between F7 and P2 and to reflect changes in international standards,changes have been introduced to P2(INT).These changes concern the accounting treatment of SMEs and the circumstances in which consolidated accounts are required,exemptions from requirements to consolidate,why directors might not want to consolidate group accounts and to include more coverage of accounting reconstructions.
