Hi my name is Abdul Basit Mianoor
I teach O level Economics, Business Studies and Accounts in schools and coaching centres in Karachi. I have done my Masters in Economics from University of Karachi and have received my teachers training from University of London and O level Economics Teaching training from University of Cambridge.

I am creating this form to guide students who are thinking about

  • Giving O levels and need to know about subjects or how can they give privately in 1.5 years instead of the usual 3 through school.
  • Are giving O levels and need extra guidance.
  • Going for A levels and need information about grades needed for good A level school and which subjects to pick in A levels and how to give them privately.
For Free selected O level revision Business Studies Lecture and other materials visit www.facebook.com/abdulbasitmianoor
Or
Call me at 0321-3890420 or whatsapp me at the same number, kindly leave details and name and i will get back to you as soon as possible.

Kindly like my facebook page and this thread also tell all your friends about if they are looking for someone to guide them and i do not charge anything for the advice i give. Thanks


Also do not keep texting me or write on this thread to Upload guess papers of subjects I teach as they are for my students only and i give them a week or two before exams.
However i will upload them before the papers maybe 12 hours before the papers for obvious reasons.
Thanks for your understanding.

A lot of people ask me about equivalency so here are the details GCE O and A Level are considered
equivalent to Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) subject to meeting the specified requirements
for various groups:

Pre-Medical Group: Eight O Level subjects (including English, Urdu, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies, Physics,
Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology) and three A Levels (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) with minimum E Grade.

Pre-Engineering Group: Eight O Level subjects (including English, Urdu, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology or Computer Studies or ICT) and three A Level subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) with minimum E Grade.

General Science Group: Eight O Level subjects and three A Level subjects are required to qualify for the general science group.


You need only to meet the requirements set above but to get admission in a University that's a different story as they have their own requirements the above applies for taking admission in govt university.

A student recently asked me about Format of financial statements and statement of affairs to which i replied

This is a common problem which students have because in real life accounting there are different standards like IFRS and US GAAP or UK GAAP besides there are other local standards so how financial information is presented and recorded depends on that. This i learned when i was giving my Chartered Accounting Examination as some of the way accounting is done in real life was different from what i was taught in graduation. So there are no right and wrong methods of presenting financial information it depends on your country's laws.
For examination purpose if you follow books like Frankwood which is recommended for O levels by CIE it has two columns income statement while Catherine Coucom which is recommended if IGCSE has three columns income statement having said that according to CIE standards both are acceptable. However In June 2014 Q 1e it has specifically asked for two column trial balance so if it specifically asked like that then you are bound to make two column trial balance. I have checked the marking schemes again and have found no mention of the format to be used.
I have thought this subject for many years and my advice is that at your level it does not matter unless the examiner specifically bounds you. The examiner will not deduct marks for it, in the past the examiner has deducted marks for not writing the company name in the heading but never for format.

Your second question was what is the statement of affairs well legally in real life it is a sort of Balance sheet prepared usually in single entry and contains stuff required by the local law for a company applying for bankruptcy / insolvency. It displays information about assets and liabilities and their net value on the day of insolvency.
As far as your level is concerned think of it as a balance sheet showing the net book value.
Hope this answers your questions
