Hi Stewart
Very happy to help we can, BUT a couple of us welcomed you to the site a few weeks ago when you posted two questions. Now at the time, more questions were asked of you - we sometimes dont have enough detail to go on so HAVE to ask questions to get to the point where we can help you, yet we didnt receive any answers nor acknowledgement of those posts. So, Im sorry to say, I for one do not wish to get into this without some additional information from you. Call it advanced payback. If you can answer the questions which were posed in the previous posts then I would be very happy to answer all three posts for you. Think thats a fair deal!

Not trying to get out of answering at all, but there are two major concerns I do have with the post, not with you! In that - you are not getting the support from the ICB forum. I am assuming you have posted there and that being the case, then its pretty bad! Worse still that you are not getting the support from your course tutor. That I find appalling, when you have paid all the money that you have to do the course. I would be demanding my money back and looking at moving to the AAT and using someone like First Intuition to be your tutor. Apart form the fact that the AAT is more recognised by Accountants who you might be looking to work for, the training company are fab and WILL help - have a look at the banner across the top of this page and you will see that they have won awards as a business, but also two of their people have as tutors!

Let me know the answers to the others and I will be back!!!! -))
