wasei so long.... if in sunway... cat > acca , it takes 3 years den finish all da 14 papers of acca ?

The CAT>ACCA route only takes 3 years provided you pass all the papers at one go. Some prefer to have a degree to be on the safe side while some prefer the shortcut method.

I think the P2 current issues are just crap.
Just simply vomit out during your exam, and you'll be lucky to get around 15 marks.
Think about audit, and do it like how you do in your F8

Added on March 23, 2010, 12:50 amACCA knowledge usually takes 2 to 4 years. F8 can stuck you quite long.

No loan, except for TARC.

Exams can be arranged by yourself, and is preferred to be arranged by yourself (choosing your exam venue, your exam paper variants...)

2. Free from Kasturi if you're taking their course.
3. Get yourself a passport, fly to Singapore, and buy one from Kaplan

Added on March 23, 2010, 12:55 amBoth are craps. But Kaplan craps more than BPP. However, BPP is too detailed (You just need basic understanding to pass ACCA). Kaplan's example are too easy, and sometimes, illogic.

For P1, BPP will be the preference.
For P2, BPP is also recommended.

However, the best material on the market, lecturer's tuition notes (compact, yet, no crap) =)

But no harm trying. Try first, then tell us.
It won't cause you your life.

For TARC, there's a course which runs parallel with ACCA, which means, you can take the final 5 papers at your final years.
But one thing, you have to bear with the lecturers.

In TARC, you will get additional diploma and advanced diploma certificate and probably a degree from Sheffield Hallam University . In Kasturi, you can go for the OBU degree. It takes approximately a year longer to finish ACCA in TARC compared to Kasturi provided that you pass everything in one go and you take about three papers at a sitting.

Nope. It takes about 4-5 years to complete ACCA in TARC. If you are in AFA course, it took about 4 years to complete your ACCA but if you are in AAC course, it would take about five years. Students normally completed their diploma in about 1 year and 10 months and advanced diploma (in AFA) would be completed in two years generally, which is about 4 years.

I didn't know we can get Kaplan books from TARC. During my studies there, we would need to buy from the Singapore distributor. So things have changed now eh? At least the students don't have to bear expensive fees when they import the books in anymore since TARC students generally do not fall into rich category.

TARC still import Kaplan books from S'pore. It may be one of the 2 colleges (another being Kasturi) to assess with S'pore Kaplan. And students still pay for the conversion rate.

u can get it at McO ( for BPP textbook & the revision kit )

---

Added on March 25, 2010, 2:38 pmnormally, the BBP books will for 2 sitting ( dec & june ), but it does not means that it cannot be used completely for next exam.
But, u need to watch out for the changes esp for P2 where there will be changes or updates of the standard.
for P1, generally it still can be used if the syllabus not significantly change & the book is mainly the same

hope this will help u.

Will the F6 notes be relevant when I want to take P6 in the future? Should I keep it because there are people PM-ing me and I am not sure whether I should sell it just in case I need it in the future?

This post has been edited by `twinkles: Mar 25 2010, 11:55 PM

You can keep it for reference for P6. But when u take P6, may be your notes already outdated.

This is from the examiner P1 syllabus ! But, I can't find any info in BPP or Kaplan text book !

i) explain, and assess the nature and sources of risks to, auditor independence. Asess the hazard of auditor capture .
ii) explain and evaluate the importance of compliance and role of the internal audit function in internal control.
iii) Describe the content of a report on Internal control and audit
iv) Explain and assess how internal controls underpin and provide information for accurate financial reporting

I am have the olf P1 book, (Dec'07 to June'08), any problem with that ?


Thanks

Internet, is your friend.

P6 is no longer like F6, P6 is all about specialization but F6 is all about fundamentals of tax comp.
