Do we need to work at the same audit firm in order to gain the 3 years working experience?

Ah yes. So that's the guy.

But I also just learned that PAAC are also offering, but soft cover, around RM 93 per book.

Hey, my mom say it is much more easier to pass in UK, is that true? which college in london offer best ACCA tuition?

It's impossible to prove whether such claims are true. One thing for sure is that Malaysia holds a lower pass rate than the rest of the world in certain papers, especially audit.

heavy calculation : MY > global pass rate
heavy theory : global > MY pass rate

conclusion: MY student not gd in theory and often rely on calculation to make it through

my lecturer said so

how long does it take to complete OBU RAP, with the mentoring offered by colleges? And after submitting the RAP, when will the result comes out?

The mentor fee is fixed by the colleges themselves ranging from 1k to 4k. And you will be required to pay 85GBP to OBU.

The results will only be out in March or September, depending on which date u submitted the RAP.

I ask for the time normally needed to complete OBU RAP.

The time required obviously is based on your performance, expectation and availability of time. If you expect to get a grade C, of course it can be done swiftly. If you're fast, it can be done within a few weeks by using other candidates' samples.

The RAP is nothing challenging IMO, Monash U students have been writing 4.5k word assignment since their 2nd year, if not earlier.

Can u describe more about Mr Sivasathish? How is he teaching and why he is good?

Thankss.

I was with Marcus Ong(F8). One thing about this lecturer is he is quite enthusiastic.

that one very hard to judge le, because all u do is the exam ,and send to UK to mark, after they mark, they just mention pass or fail with marks..

but believe in one thing, if your papers you believe able to pass, then the marker should feel the same for your paper, unless your presentation on the paper really ruin the mood of examiner ..^^

No, it's not true. I used to have colleagues who quit the job & went to UK to continue with the ACCA. Yet, they still struggle & flop the exams repeatedly.

The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) of Australia only recognise ONE....ONLY ONE overseas body to become a registered tax agent in Australia. The said body is ACCA. It's a significant milestone for them.

I kind of agree with you. I have 2 friends plus 1 is my brother's friend. They all went to UK to study ACCA Professional papers. All of them flunked. One came back empty handed. Didn't pass a paper. I didn't know what happened there but according to my friend, it's a norm there. It really depends on yourself.

I decided to stay because of shortage of money. It was blessing in disguise. At least I pass some papers starting from F1. now reached professional level already.

But I can assure you, there are successful stories.

aiya they all accountants study acca so long d dunno what's VFM meh, takkan pass in uk your acca cert nicer meh ?

IMO in general,

For MYS ACCA students, MYS lecturers > foreign lecturers (i.e. caucasian).

MYS lecturers more dedicated and responsible in ensuring that their students do well. More vested interest due to the competitive nature of our lecturing market.

Foreign lecturers don't really care much as they believe in independent learning at the tertiary level.

MYS lecturers will literally 'spoon feed' you to your success. Teaching approach more exam-focused. MYS students learn better this way.

Foreign lecturers will most likely talk crap in most of their lectures. They will tend to cultivate your interest rather than anything else. Teaching approach not really exam focused.

MYS lecturers calculation techniques > foreign lecturers calculation techniques. Culture?

However....

Foreign lecturers > MYS lecturers in theory. They tend to understand the subject matter more deeply and is able to express their opinions more spontaneously. Probably because English is their primary language/mother tongue and other etc reasons.
