P&L and BS format?
Could anyone who has recently passed the accounting and auditing exam guide as to whether a specific format for P&L is to be followed. I am accustomed with the vertical format, but have heard from a few people that horizontal T-Account format is to be followed. Otherwise marks are not given. Does it matter?

as pointed by respected fellow member the css-2011 completely changed the paper pattern for accounting and auditing...............it is advised you accustom yourself to all latest formats in practice as well classic/old formats

But then how am I supposed to know that which format I have to follow. From how far I have seen the past papers, the question doesn't mention anything. Although paper 2011 was way different than previous papers but like all other papers it didn't mention the particular format in the final accounts question. Even if I prepare various formats, the question would just require the preparation of a b.s, p&l or st of changes in equity. format won't be specified.confused.

profit and loss a/c is the classic t a/c presentation of profit and losses for the year while income statement provides the same info in a vertical format in a summary form both profit and loss a/c nd balance sheet though are still in practice at teaching levels .......at professional stages these are considered obsolete balance sheet is now known as statement of financial position and profit nd loss a/c is statement of financial performance (another name may be statement of comprehensive income ) (all this may sound quite much after looking at past papers up to 2010 but after 2011 one should have a basic knowledge of all formats and current practices ) |

if question says profit and loss account its is clear that follow the t a/c format but income statement can never be prepared on such format as the name specifies its a statement not an account the marking scheme of css for acc and audit is still a mystery so lets hope 4 best |
