Default IASA Chapter 8: Other Expenses

<rant> Did I just waste 2 hours studying this chapter? From looking at the All 10 manual, there hasn't appeared to be a question asked on Other Expenses and they haven't bothered taking the time to come up with sample questions. Did I really need to read about EIS?</rant>

I've always wondered why the CAS leaves readings on that almost never get asked about. Exam 6 has a few accounting papers like that, too.

If you want to master the Canadian Investment Valuation Reserve and Minimum Capital Adequacy, you will need more than a couple of hours. Neither ever gets tested. Is it worth it?

I plan on skimming all the IASA readings. IMO, the points/hr are too low.
