About
Hi, I'm Courts. I am currently doing the same PGDA/CTA year you're doing now, after tutoring accounting all through my undergrad — so writing these notes is really an extension of that: taking a section and rebuilding it into something you could revise from in a single sitting.
Each section is a standalone PDF: the principle, the standard or section of the Act, the calculation layout, and the traps that cost marks in tests. Written in plain language, laid out to be readable on a laptop or printed.
You don't have to buy a whole module. If deferred tax is the thing keeping you up, buy deferred tax.

Reviews
I loved these PGDA notes! They broke down the content into bite-sized, easy to understand sections and included practical examples that made applying the theory much easier. I especially found the Auditing notes helpful when the class material felt a bit disorientated. Everything was explained so simply, which helped me feel confident that I had mastered the content and made a big difference when attempting past test questions.
Hey Courts! I really like your notes, especially because of how practical they are. They don’t just teach the principles — they also focus on exam technique and, importantly, how to structure an answer, using simple practical examples to make the concepts easier to apply.
I also really like how I feel after working through them. I feel more confident and have a much better mindset going into practice questions because I feel like I’m not only learning the content, but also preparing myself for how I’m actually going to answer the questions in the exam.
Another thing I appreciate is that you really focus on what’s important. Sometimes lectures can go off on different tangents and you end up wondering what you actually need to take from it. Your notes cut through that and keep me focused on the key principles and what I need to know.
Overall, they’ve been really helpful for me, particularly because they bridge the gap between understanding the content and actually being able to apply it in a question.
