The results of ICAN Nov 2014 are expected to be released by the Institute next Thursday. There have been a lot of speculations and anxiety among candidates who sat for the exam, especially as the results were not released last week as widely anticipated. This is not surprising as the New Syllabus was first tested last diet and a number of candidates were caught ruffled by the exam format and the standard of the questions.

Many candidates have expressed mixed feelings about the approach the New Syllabus was tested in its debut last diet. Some topics carrying heavy weight were under-tested while some other topics with relatively lower weights were over-tested, and it thus appears to a number of candidates that the weights attached to topics do not in any way represent the areas of emphasis in preparing for the exams. The message from last diet 's experience seems to be "take all topics as equal". This observation is particularly experienced in papers like performance management, financial reporting, strategic financial management and corporate reporting.
