Was just looking this up and wanted to share if anyone needs it.
From Elan:
– Ethics, Quantitative Methods, Economics, Corporate Finance, Portfolio Management, Equity and Derivatives are pretty much exactly the same in 2013 as they were for 2012.
– Two FRA Readings (Non-Current Liabilities and FSA Applications) have seen minimal revisions, while one FRA Reading (Financial Statement Analysis) has been deleted.
– One new Reading (Fundamentals of Credit Analysis) has been added to the Fixed Income Section.
– One new Reading has replaced the old Reading on Alternative InvestmentsMore detailed info:

@Sophie Are you talking about Financial Statement Analysis being a pain?

You’re right @sidmenon. I did a quick spot-check on the actual CFA curriculum (link here: http://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfaprogram/courseofstudy/Pages/study_sessions.aspx) and the passfinance link checks out. I’d go with that.

Thanks @tacheman! useful when deciding to get 2012 materials…

Financial Statement Analysis from Corporate Finance (LOS 11.41) also seems to be removed. Just confirming as @TacheMan mentioned this being removed from only FRA.

Lucky you @sidmenon, that section was a pain!

Mentioning you guys to speed up the response a bit, sorry!
@Sophie, @christine, @Zee, @TacheMan.

Thanks for this! But is there any way to access just the new additions to the syllabus? Since i have the 2012 material.
-

I read through the new LOS. Doesn’t have as much content as the removed one.

Good spot @sidmenon! Looks like there are some errors in Elan’s overview.

@tacheman thanks mate.

@jimmyg oh I am using current materials. Was just thinking of getting some additional 2012 materials on the cheap (practice exams).
-

Is it something to worry about that there’s so much removed from Alternative Investments syllabus but very little added? Doesn’t feel right.
-
Up2
Yeah that struck me as odd as well. Perhaps the added LOS contains quite a lot of material.
-
Up2
Yeah you’re right @sidmenon

Also, this link shows the same info as passfinance.

The best way I can think of is to get the specific Elan guides for the topics that have large differences. Elan allows you to pick and choose, and 300 H has got a discount code for it.

I’d really advise you to use current materials rather than try and save a bit with older materials. It’s just not worth the pain of trying to piece together what’s missing.

You’ve mentioned minimal changes in non-current liabilities and FSA applications and also removal of financial statement analysis. But i just noticed that in the link given, none of these changes are verified. Like, there’s absolutely no change but wording changes according to the link! Can someone shed some light on this?
-

Yeah, @TacheMan. Looks like it. But this seems to be their only error. Because i’ve been following those LOS changes since i started studying the L1 curriculum. Found this error once i reached my last topic, FRA.
