Accounting for tax with investment properties can involve plenty of other standards: IFRS 5, IAS 36, IAS 2… the trick is to know when to use each together with IAS 40.In this episode, I talk through the accounting for Investment Properties under IAS 40. We start with the basic definition: property held to earn rentals, for capital appreciation, or both. And then compare it with PPE under IAS 16. Here's the thing: the same physical building can be accounted for in different ways depending on why the business is holding it. That distinction is vital in SBR.You'll learn how investment property can be measured at cost or fair value, how fair value gains and losses are treated, and why this differs from PPE revaluations. We also look at how IAS 40 links with other standards, including IFRS 18, IAS 36, IAS 2 and IFRS 5. Most importantly, I explain how to think through the different, progressive scenarios so you can write clear answers and earn the marks.Thanks for listening to this episode of Pass Your SBR ACCA Exams with Tom Clendon.If you'd like to view the exam question on screen and see my working, subscribe to the YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tomclendonSBR.For access to on-demand support and guidance for your ACCA SBR Journey, visit my website to see my current course offering: https://tomclendon.co.uk/.Chapters(0:00) Introduction to IAS 40 investment properties(1:57) What is an investment property?(2:25) Investment property compared with PPE(3:37) Recap of IAS 16 accounting for PPE(5:19) Accounting for investment properties under IAS 40(6:35) Why identical properties can have different accounting treatments(8:29) IFRS 18 and where gains and rental income go in profit or loss(9:27) Investment property in the statement of cash flows(10:38) Cost or fair value — which measurement is more useful?(13:04) Why property classification depends on business use(15:08) Mixed-use property and splitting the asset(16:09) Transfers from PPE to investment property

In this episode, Natalie Koop and Danielle Putnam sit down with Kerri Raynor, co-founder of Raynor Services, who has spent over 30 years in the electrical, HVAC, and solar trades building a family business alongside her husband. Kerri opens up about the bathroom moment she told her husband "we have to sell," the payroll lawsuit that forced the decision (a bonus-and-overtime mistake most contractors don't know is on the books), and why protecting her staff mattered more than the so-called golden parachute. She also shares her vision for the New Jersey ACCA chapter as a stepping-stone for $1–5M contractors, and what it really looks like to build a business with your spouse. If you're a family business owner or quietly thinking about what your exit could look like one day, this episode is full of the real stuff.You can connect with Kerri on LinkedIn (see below)Social Media Links:InstagramTNFR- https://www.instagram.com/thenewflatrateRaynor Services- https://www.instagram.com/raynorservices/FacebookTNFR- https://www.facebook.com/TheNewFlatRateNJ ACCA- https://www.facebook.com/NewJerseyACCA/LinkedInTNFR- https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-new-flat-rate-inc-/posts/?feedView=allKerri Raynor- https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerri-raynor-00501931/ACCA- https://www.linkedin.com/company/accausa/Links and Resources:https://thenewflatrate.com/https://raynorservices.com/

Sometimes it can feel like no matter how many times you go over study materials, it just feels impossible to really get to grips with it. Turns out, there are tips and tricks to learning that can help us all - from memorising a formula to feeling comfortable with a complicated policy. This week we speak to New York Times best-selling author Professor Barbara Oakley. We cover what is actually happening in our brains when we learn something, and how we can use that knowledge to adapt our revision strategies to better retain complex information. Plus, how learning a language and learning how to do maths are actually more similar than you might first think. This is On Your Marks. Because you’ll never know until you try.

Managing our screen time can be really tough for many of us. With laptops on our desks, phones in our pockets, and TVs on at the end of the day, it’s easy to see how our relationship with the internet and technology can get really complicated, especially when we need to use those same devices to work or study. This week we sit down with Professor Phil Reed from Swansea University. He’s a psychologist who has spent years trying to understand the ways in which technology and the internet affects the way we think, feel, and behave. We dig into what it actually means to be addicted to technology, what’s happening in our brains when we get a notification, and some tips we can all try to improve our relationships with our phones.

Leigh Stallard is joined by Lara Manton and Robbie White for a packed episode recorded in the wake of Accountex 2026. Between them they cover eight stories spanning practice management, bookkeeping automation, MTD, AI strategy and the long-running question of what an accountant is actually for. Duane Jackson's Sodium has moved to general availability. It is API-first, built around a single client record and designed with AI integrated from the start rather than bolted on later. Leigh frames the real challenge not as product quality but as firm inertia: practice management is the Lego wall nobody wants to dismantle, and a golden brick is only useful if someone is prepared to pull the old ones out. Lara and Robbie both know from experience how painful that process is, and the conversation turns quickly to whether AI-assisted migration might eventually lower the barrier. Apron's William AI is now generally available, having launched in beta in March. Lara walks through what it actually does: connecting to client email inboxes, extracting and categorising documents, publishing to Xero or QuickBooks, and flagging anything it is not confident about. The auto-publish toggle defaults off and needs firm-specific guidance rules to reach its potential. The beta hit 50% autonomous publish rate; the GA pitch is 90% for firms that put the configuration work in. Robbie leads on the Xero and Claude integration, which went live globally on 12 May. Early practitioner testing found it read-only, limited to account-level data and prone to missing transactions. Leigh and Lara discuss what it means that the major general ledgers are simultaneously embedding AI inside their own products and surfacing their data inside the large language models. Intuit's intelligence layer across QuickBooks covers AI-powered chat, portfolio benchmarking and a capability that appears pointed directly at end clients. Lara raises the concern that clients with incomplete books could get confident-sounding answers to questions they should be asking their accountant instead. Lara covers the QuickBooks AI-powered MTD checker, which flags duplicates, missing transactions and non-trading income sources before submission. QuickBooks claims the highest cumulative MTD pilot sign-ups during HMRC's testing period. Robbie welcomes it as a live use case rather than a theoretical one. Robbie covers Combinely, the browser-based AI co-worker backed by YC and OpenAI. Early UK adopters include Burgess Hodgson, where it handled 2,600+ tasks across December and January with a reported 75% reduction in income and expenditure creation time. Leigh raises the structural tension: a tool that sits on the periphery of a workflow is easy to adopt and equally easy to quietly drop. Lara covers FreeAgent's integration with Equali, pulling e-commerce data from Shopify into FreeAgent for reconciliation and categorisation, and notes FreeAgent's incoming Apron partnership as part of a broader push beyond its freelancer roots. The episode closes on the Accountex panel from ICAEW, ACCA and IFAC. The fat middle concern runs through the final section: AI handling transactional work, hollowing out the junior pipeline and, with it, the intuition that comes from years of doing the basics. Robbie's view is that AI will eventually learn the human stuff too. The question is what accountants do with the time that creates.

When we’re stressed out or feeling tired, it can be really hard to prioritise one of the activities we always hear about being good for us – exercise! But it turns out, exercising it not only good for our bodies, but for our brains too.This week we speak to neuroscientist Professor Sandrine Thuret from Kings College London. She’s an expert in all the ways exercise can boost our brains – from growing new neurons to improving our mental health. We dig into how exercise can both enhance your learning and memory skills and help protect your brain from dementia, and why choosing a form of working out that you really enjoy is all part of the process.

Whether it’s revising for exams, juggling work deadlines, or trying to stay on top of an endless to-do list, we all know how difficult it can be to stay productive without burning out.

We explore the surprising benefits of stress, the truth about multitasking, and why 4am routines aren’t for everyone. We also discuss how our brains respond to pressure, why maths and numbers can sometimes feel intimidating, and offer practical tips on how you can build healthier, more sustainable ways of working.

As contractors prep for ACCA 2026 in Las Vegas, don't miss two powerful sessions on stopping revenue leaks and building an ownership mindset in the field. In this interview, industry leaders share what attendees can expect and how the right strategies can drive lasting performance and results. Sponsored by Nexstar Network.
What if the greatest stories on Earth aren't written in the sky but carved in stone beneath our feet? On this illuminating episode of Speaking of Travel, we shine a light on the extraordinary underground ecosystems that hold the living history of our planet.My guest is David Foster, President and CEO of the American Cave Conservation Association and steward of Hidden River Cave in Kentucky.Once considered one of the most polluted caves in the United States, Hidden River Cave is now a powerful symbol of restoration and hope. More than 40 years of scientific effort, community collaboration, and unwavering commitment transformed a damaged ecosystem into a conservation success story. Located within the watershed of Mammoth Cave International Biosphere Reserve, its recovery reminds us that protecting one place can ripple far beyond what we see.In this heartfelt conversation, David shares why the ACCA chose to go where the problem was, what it truly takes to repair decades of environmental harm, and how working in spaces shaped over millions of years changes the way we think about time, patience, and responsibility.“This is a happy cave today because people care. When you do good things for the world, karma rewards you. And we're an organization that really cares.”And maybe that's the heart of it. When we care deeply enough, even the unseen parts of our world can heal. Sometimes the greatest journeys aren't across oceans, but into the quiet places beneath our feet, reminding us that care, patience, and community can truly change the world. Because in the end, protecting what's hidden may be one of the most important journeys we ever take.

Building HVAC Science - Building Performance, Science, Health & Comfort
Stephen Roth—founder of Carmel Software and current owner of Hands Down Software—joins Bill and Eric to trace a multigenerational journey from a 1920s Ohio roofing firm to modern HVAC software that powers everyday field work. Stephen shares how family roots in commercial roofing and energy management shaped his path as a mechanical engineer and coder, eventually leading to Autodesk acquiring his early load-calc assets and, later, to relaunching Carmel with one of the industry's first mobile HVAC app suites. Today CarmelSoft offers field-friendly tools from PT charts and duct/pipe sizers to an ACCA-approved Manual J (HVAC ResLoad J) iPad app. Stephen also discusses custom projects for Carrier, Mitsubishi, SMACNA, and ASHRAE (including Building EQ), plus the acquisition and revitalization of the ubiquitous Hands Down psychrometric chart software. Looking ahead, he sees AI accelerating data entry, plotting psychrometric processes by prompt, and facilitating web-based collaboration—always in service of the core mission: helping technicians and engineers accurately size systems and design energy-efficient buildings. Notable quotes: “Our mission is to help technicians and engineers easily and accurately design energy-efficient buildings.” — Stephen Roth “The city of Phoenix wouldn't exist without our industry.” — Stephen Roth Stephen's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbroth/ Camelsoft website: https://carmelsoft.com/ HandsDown website: https://www.handsdownsoftware.com/ Upcoming webinars: https://carmelsoft.com/Carmel-Software-Mobile-Training-Webinars Past recorded webinars: https://carmelsoft.com/Carmel-Software-Video-List Contact form: https://carmelsoft.com/Carmel_Software_ContactUs.aspx This episode was recorded in September 2025.
