CFA Level I Ethics: The Code and Standards You Must Know

Sunday, October 4, 2026 • Duration 03:19

Ethics is one of the most important areas of the CFA Level I exam, and it requires more than simply memorizing a list of rules. In this episode of CFA in the Car, we break down the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and introduce the Standards of Professional Conduct that candidates are expected to apply to real-world situations. You’ll learn the principles behind professionalism, integrity, independent judgment, and putting clients’ interests first. We’ll also look at the kinds of scenarios that can turn an apparently obvious ethical question into a difficult exam problem. By the end, you should have a framework for thinking through CFA ethics questions rather than relying on memorization alone.

ASC 740 on the CFA Exam: Temporary Differences, Deferred Taxes, and the Effective Rate Story

Sunday, September 27, 2026 • Duration 05:11

This guide walks CFA candidates through the ASC 740 framework that sits behind U.S. GAAP income-tax notes. It separates differences that reverse from those that never do, then shows how those differences become deferred tax assets and liabilities. It explains when a valuation allowance is required, how intraperiod allocation splits the tax line, and how uncertain tax positions change both the provision and the footnotes. The goal is to turn a dense disclosure into usable analysis of earnings quality, cash taxes, and ratio distortion.

Master the Road to ASC 842: Essential Lessee & Lessor Accounting for the Commute

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 • Duration 03:07

Turn your daily drive into high-yield study time with this audio breakdown of ASC 842 lease accounting fundamentals. This episode tackles the core distinctions between operating and finance leases, walks through initial right-of-use asset and liability measurements, and explains the subsequent accounting treatment for both lessees and lessors.

Finally, we highlight the most frequent Task-Based Simulation traps and disclosure rules tested on the exam so you can secure points without sitting at a desk.
For financial analysts and candidates on the move, ASC 842 is one of the most critical accounting frameworks to master.

FSA Core: Inventory Methods, LIFO Reserve, and Why COGS Is a Valuation Question in Disguise

Sunday, September 6, 2026 • Duration 07:30

This study guide examines the core mechanics of inventory cost flow assumptions, dissecting how FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average methods directly reshape reported earnings and asset bases. We break down the mechanics of the LIFO reserve, the operational hazards of LIFO liquidation, and the standard treatment of lower of cost or net realizable value write-downs. Finally, we map how these inventory accounting choices flow mechanically through profitability and liquidity ratios to prevent common financial statement analysis pitfalls.

CFA Level II FSA Core: Revenue Recognition, Earnings Quality, and IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP Traps

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 05:17

Revenue recognition questions on the CFA Level II exam test more than memorization—they test whether you can identify when reported revenue faithfully reflects economic activity. This study guide reviews the five-step revenue model, bill-and-hold arrangements, channel stuffing, non-GAAP metrics, and the warning signs of weak earnings quality. It also explains which IFRS and U.S. GAAP differences can meaningfully affect financial ratios and which differences are unlikely to matter.
