it wont make or break your exam results. most of the rules are the same and it is rare for CFAI to test whether or not you remember the difference between the two, instead they test if you know the material.

For certain cases you have to know the difference, e.g. the treatment of LIFO/FIFO and allocation of certain items to cash flow categories, e.g. interest to CFO or CFI. Just read through a couple of mock exams and you get an answer to your question.

Though I haven't taken the test yet and haven't seen any mocks either but my guess is that we need to know things which appear again and again in the CFA books... LIFO FIFO as said above.. revaluation... interest CFs... etc ...

Exactly, knowing all the differences is quite a lot to remember, but there are a few differences that always keep on popping up on exams. CFAI exercises and mock exams gives indeed a good idea. It's been a while since I passed level 1 but the ones I mentioned will probably appear on the exam.

I guess if you know differences between them in IFRS and GAAP treatment
- LIFO/FIFO
- Interest/Dividend treatment in cash flows statements
- Revaluation of assets
- Construction contracts
- Extraordinary items
You should be ok .. The last reading on FA (if still the same for June exam) shows an excellent summary

I agree with this list.

But I would add the following:

Lower or cost or NRV for inventory under IFRS and LCM in US GAAP.
Bunch of stuff in the reading on long-lived assets.
