hi, i'm having a serious matter now. previously i paid by bank draft for P1 and P2, but i haven't pass my F4 and F8.
my lecturer told me, that time that acca will straight make me attempt for paper f4 and f8.. but recently i write to acca. they said that i'm not attempting any papers now because their exam entry are now close.
how? anyone can teach me what can i do now ??

Perhaps you should call ACCA Malaysia as soon as possible to tell them your issue and see what action they can take.

they are close for saturday and sunday
i don't have a good feeling about this.. i feel that i'm not eligible for this coming exam..
haiz....

I think you could only wait for the next sitting.
Did you tick the boxes on the papers that you wanted to attempt?
Seriously, I didn't know there are such lecturers who will give such advice to students.

haiz, ya lo.. if he did not give such advice, maybe i'll contact with acca earlier...
i thick for paper P1 and P2.. i paid by bank draft, thats why i didn't realize can't take P level paper before finish attempting F level paper..
aisk, can't do anything right now.. thks anyway

No harm in trying to call them. Speak out to them and ask whether there is any solution.
It's strange that ACCA didn't inform you on your invalid application. They should have email you or something.

So your ACCA account has a credit balance now?

F5 Performance Management

BPP says:

Specialist Cost and Management Accounting Techniques
• ABC, Throughput Accounting & Target Costing have featured recently. Backflush accounting has not yet been examined. Be prepared to discuss techniques such as ABC compared to traditional costing techniques such as Absorption Costing.
Decision making techniques
• Relevant costing, linear programming and risk & uncertainty have been examined recently. Pricing is yet to be examined in much detail other than a brief discussion about discounting and a requirement to suggest two pricing strategies.
Budgeting
• Learning curves have featured most regularly to date. Discussion marks may look at the appropriateness of budgeting types or the behavioural impacts of types of budgeting. Numerical elements in a budgeting question could include flexed budgets or time series analysis.
Standard costing & variance analysis
• Mix & yield variances, planning & operating variances and operating statements have been examined. Be prepared to discuss performance and whether variances are an indicative measure of good / bad performance.
Performance Measurement and Control
• Questions focusing on interpretation of performance and financial vs non financial measures have featured on all papers to date. Questions could focus on the public sector, divisional performance measures such as ROI / RI or a discussion of the impact on performance of various transfer prices.

Kaplan says:

• Financial and non-financial performance indicators
• Mix and Yield variances
• Transfer Pricing
• Activity Based Costing

P5 Advanced Performance Management

BPP says:

Scope of strategic performance measures in the private sector
• Analysis of financial and non-financial performance; this could include the use of activity-based approaches or learning curves, and strategies to improve performance.

Divisional performance and transfer pricing issues
• ROI, RI , EVA or even ABC could feature here; transfer pricing could feature as an aspect of these questions.

Problems with budgeting
• Budgeting has been a favourite essay question with your examiner, especially an awareness of the problems of budgeting but was largely unexamined in 2009.

Alternative views of performance measurement
• The examiner often includes a question to evaluate an organisation against an established theoretical model. The balanced scorecard, performance pyramid and building blocks have all appeared in previous exams.

Performance hierarchy
• Linking strategic decisions to mission statements or suggesting strategic options using models such as Ansoff’s matrix or the BCG matrix lend themselves to questions containing a mixture of financial and discursive elements that could easily include a simple NPV or profit analysis.

Kaplan says:

• Forecasting
• Divisional assessment
• Strategic alternatives
• Corporate failure
• Dealing with uncertainty

LSBF says:

• Comparison of performance
• Evaluation of performance systems
• BCG / Ansoff to evaluate decisions
• Non-financial performance indicators
• Budgeting
