This is not meant to criticise but to help you. Is there any valid reason why you cannot check this by yrself? If there is not, why? Is it because you're not committed enough? Is this why you r taking P7 for the 3rd time?

To be successful in anything, you need to be interested in it and being committed is one of the ways of developing interest. React in any way that you like. I don't know u n u don't know me but why should I bother to help u?

It's always better to develop a good habit in using a proper English language. We, as accountants are professional, during after work as well. We depend on reputation and connections to succeed.

Can you imagine you speak like an English at work, but turn into an Ah Beng after work. How will your client feel?

Correcting other people's mistake might be rude, but I believe the intention is good, it's just how you perceive it to be.

gov matriculation>UM/USM>ACCA------not recommended.

foundation/diploma>degree>ACCA------slow & expensive but enjoy college life at early stage.

CAT>ACCA-----fast & cheap but boring yawn.gif

lols as i know, msia uni takes 4~5 years to complete degree ( if i am not mistaken), that is too long.

it really depends on individual, just be a man and make your own decision, don't follow others.

If you want a fast route, take the CAT/ACCA route.

If you want a slower, safe, and easy route, take the govt matriculation>UM/USM route. Anyway, if you take this route, you don't need ACCA anymore. MIA recognises the accountancy degrees from public unis. So, there is no need for one to take a professional exam anymore.

Each route has its pros and cons. CAT/ACCA route is fast but it won't give you a strong foundation in research, if you wish to pursue a postgraduate degree, you might face a culture shock. However, taking this route gives you a very strong technical knowledge in accountancy.

Going for the degree route would give you a stronger foundation in research but it is a slower route compared to ACCA.

So, it's your choice.

there's no more CAT--->ACCA, now it's FIA--->ACCA. they are similar though


Added on March 25, 2012, 12:32 amthe FIA--->ACCA route will be faster if you are on full time study and always pass exams at the first time. this route will also give you flexibility if you want to work full time and study part time.

however, if you fail exams regularly, it will be more time consuming than you take degree course. you may end up stuck in between of whether to continue or to give up then go for other courses

He is a straight A student with good English, he wouldn't fail ACCA if he put in the effort.


Whatshouldido, it is always better to follow the traditional pathway, i.e., do a pre-U and complete your degree - it opens more doors for you and develops you better as an individual. Do make sure you are gaining your degree from a credible institution though, otherwise you might as well go straight for ACCA. For a student of your caliber, you do not have to worry about all this 'if I don't pass I am only an SPM holder' hype. Pass it first time, period.

Thanks for helping.
You said credible institution, may you reccommend me for any?
Well, since I am from a not really rich family, my parents asked me to go for gov matriculation and later on to UM/USM to continue my degree. However, I heard that we must obtain a CGPA of 4. How is it like compared to the old SPM standard? Is it like getting all A+ or all A's? Is it a good choice going for the path?

Hi there, thx for helping biggrin.gif
If I take the gov matiruculation>UM/USM I do not need ACCA anymore? But if I take it in the future is that meant I will be able to have a better prospect in job? Perhaps like higher salary or etc? Another thing, is it right after graduating I will be a MIA member automatically without waiting for like 3 years of working experiences? Btw, which path is more likely to have a better prospect? Like an employee's choice of hiring? icon_question.gif
So sorry for asking to much. sweat.gif

Having an ACCA will give you a wider prospect globally.

No, you will not get the MIA membership automatically. After graduating from a public university, you need to work for 3 years to gain the accounting experience in order to apply for MIA membership. Of course, you can always choose to study ACCA as an additional professional qualification.

MIA or ACCA? Does employer really care? I don't think so. What they need to see is that you are a Chartered Accountant. What's more important is your job performance and your attitude in the workplace. Even the Big Four firms are sponsoring its employees to study the MIA Qualifying Exams, MICPA, or any other professional exams. So, the Big Four do not give preference over one professional exam to another.

Hi, aim for the top universities in Malaysia if you want to go for the matriculation program. You should be looking at UM, UKM, and UPM.

I did not do the matriculation program and so could not provide you with any advice on the toughness of the program. But I do know a friend who have straight 1A's in SPM who went on to do the matriculation program and achieved a CGPA of 4.00. She is now reading medicine in UKM. She is also a non-bumi and did not have stellar extra-curricular activities if you are wondering.

Hey guys, I'm planning to take ACCA this year. Well FiA actually. I'm 25. Kinda feel old but never too old to study I guess. I went to UITM expo yesterday and the first thing they asked me when they know I'm 25 is that can I get along with SPM leavers lol.

Since there is no more MSER, I have to take the first 7 papers in FiA - I planned to take CBE for all these 7 papers. Any thought on this? If possible I want to complete this by year end so that I will start F4 next year. Mode of study will be self study since I'm working and most of the time I have to work on weekend as well.

Now, my problem is about books or notes for these papers. Any school or college sell cheap books? Or do you guys know where I can get cheap books? I went to kinokuniya and I saw study text as well as revision kit will cost me RM150 together (this is only for FA1). I think if I can get it second hand definitely it's going to be much cheaper.

Also, anyone knows how much will CBE cost? I've called up FTMS earlier and the guy on the phone was saying that I can take the CBE anytime - just go there and say I want to take CBE and they will arrange a date for me - and it will only cost RM150 for any papers. The guy doesn't seems that confident about the info though.

Oh yeah, I planned to go to ACCA Malaysia sometime next week for registration because I read it might take up to 6 weeks for processing. This means the earliest I can take CBE for FA1 will be end of May or probably June. Just going to study for 1 paper and see how it goes.

Any input or word of advice is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to be studying ACCA soon.

i think you are studying part time since you are a working adult. i am unsure whether is there any paper limit per semester for FIA but for ACCA it's 4 papers for a semester (half yearly). last time CAT had no limitation, i don't think that FIA has it as well.

working and studying at the same time is not easy since you can imagine how tired you are after work, i don't think that you will have the motivation to take out the book to read, attending classes will make you more committed to it. for cheaper books you may post here, some members may be willing to sell those books to you at a cheaper rate after they passed the subject.

this is the pricing for each paper. it's around RM200/paper at entry level. during your initial registration, you will have to pay 77 + 77 pounds for initial registration and first year subscription.

ACCA is not easy and not to say very difficult, make sure yourself is committed to it. it may take years to finish but if you don't give up, you will eventually be graduated.

if you work for big 4, very likely that they will force you to continue your studies on either ACCA, ICAEW, MICPA or other programmes because they want you to be a professional. It is also important for your career development, if you have higher qualification, you are more likely to be promoted.

salaries of big4 should be higher than other accounting firms but their workload is definitely more. big 4 auditors will have to work until midnight/overnight during peak & very peak season, aka June and July.

if you are willing to take up the pressure, you can try big 4. if you prefer a more relax environment, try others. being part of big 4 is indeed an added advantage to your CV

Oh yeah, I planned to go to ACCA Malaysia sometime next week for registration because I read it might take up to 6 weeks for processing. This means the earliest I can take CBE for FA1 will be end of May or probably June. Just going to study for 1 paper and see how it goes.

Any input or word of advice is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to be studying ACCA soon.

all the best in ur future studies. the effort of studying and passing ACCA is definately satisfying. smile.gif

Hi everyone,
I had just recieve my SPM result recently and I am lost for which path of study should I choose to continue studying accountancy. Which is better? Going for gov matriculation>UM/USM>ACCA or going for private institution to take perhaps a foundation/diploma>degree>ACCA or CAT>ACCA? Which is a good choice to be made? Btw, I got all A's(7A+,2A), LCCI-band 1,1119-1A.
Hope you guys would lend me a help. Thanks. smile.gif

If you are sure u want to do accounting then FIA>ACCA at a private institution makes more sense. With your spm results u could probably get a partial scholarship. And even though you would have to pay more fees upfront for your education than going through gov uni, it makes up by the fact that u will graduate earlier and start working abt a year before your peers that take the matriculation>um/usm>Acca route. (assuming you get straight passes)

Just my two cents. However don't do FIA>Acca straight if you still r not sure about wanting to be an accountant. It's not an easy route to take if your heart is not in it and it kinda limits your options once you're in it.

Hi, aim for the top universities in Malaysia if you want to go for the matriculation program. You should be looking at UM, UKM, and UPM.

I did not do the matriculation program and so could not provide you with any advice on the toughness of the program. But I do know a friend who have straight 1A's in SPM who went on to do the matriculation program and achieved a CGPA of 4.00. She is now reading medicine in UKM. She is also a non-bumi and did not have stellar extra-curricular activities if you are wondering.

Having an OBU might help you if you plan to go for your Masters later on in life, or if you don't plan to pay your ACCA membership anymore.

It's more of a back up plan if you don't plan to enter the accountancy field at all.

hi guys, I want to ask smtg bout the relevance of my understanding of "related company" under s2 of Promotion of Investment Act(PIA)

"related company"means a company

a) operations of which are or can be controlled directly or indirectly by the first mentioned company

-
(A)----50%------>(B)




b) which controls or can control either directly or indirectly the operations of first mentioned company

-
(A)<----50%-------(B)


this means A is related company of B and vice versa right?



below is the part where I couldn't understand clearly what they're trying to express:

c) the operations of which are or can be controlled, either directly or indirectly, by a person or persons who
control or can control, either directly or indirectly, the operations of the first mentioned company.

Provided that a company shall be deemed to be related company of another company if-

aa) at least 20% of its issued share capital is beneficially owned, either directly or indirectly, by that other
company;or

bb) at least 20% of the issued share capital of that company is beneficially owned, either directly or indirectly by
the first mentioned company


-
(B)<----50%-----C------50%--->(A)

at the same time

(B)-----20%---->C (aa)

or

(A)----20%---->C (bb)

which means A , B and C are 3 related companies?

most firms will hire entry level staff, working for small firms will give you flexibility to go for exam. do not pass any of F7, 8 or 9 before F4, this will result in you being opted out of OBU degree programme

i think it means

in a, b & c, the word 'control' means top management (usually directors) and nothing relevant to voting shares.

a & b means A Co. controls B Co. through appointment of directors by A Co. and vice versa.

c means A Co. controls B Co. through same directors

aa & bb means A holds B at least 20% voting rights either directly or through medium such as executives and complex group structure. vice versa

any of the above 5 scenarios happens will result in related party relationship

it is better that you passed F4 then only take either one of F7, 8 & 9 then you will not be opted out. i think you may also pass F4 with F7, 8 & 9 in the same sitting without any issue. it is not necessarily that you need to take F7, 8 & 9 following the sequence but it is advisable that you follow it because it existed for a reason.

for the other questions, you can read acca website, i got no idea

Can you be a little bit more specific on the term "working field"?

I believe working overseas as a fresh grad depends more on your connection that your qualification, unless you are top of your class or you come from an elite school.

As I said, it all depends on the nature of the positions advertised. For all the non-accounting positions eg sales & marketing, administrator, banking etc, off course the employers need the candidates to have a degree relevant to the positions advertised.

Prof qualifications like ACCA or CIMA are purely meant for those who want to pursue a career in accounting. If someone wants to pursue a career in for example, stock broking or real estate, then what's the point of studying ACCA....it will be a complete waste.

Having said that, because of the 'kiasuness' of the employers in Spore, they will always prefer grad from their local uni in all professions eg engineering, accounting, law etc.

OBU = academic degree

ACCA = professional qualification (not an academic degree)

Professional qualification prepares one to work in the working world.

An academic degree prepares one for critical thinking and writing, analytical writing...etc, which are meant for postgraduate studies. That's why if one study an accounting degree in a university, you will notice that there are lot of assignment questions and research being handed out to students.

If you want to apply to study for a postgraduate degree (Masters and above), you need to have a degree cert. Some universities do not allow one to use ACCA as a pre-requisite qualification to apply for Masters courses. I have asked this before. So, no choice but to do OBU.

Some business school do recognise ACCA, such as Imperial College for their MBA. If you're looking for an MBA, not Msc, Mphil or Phd, working experience will be sufficient.

Some business school do recognise ACCA, such as Imperial College for their MBA. If you're looking for an MBA, not Msc, Mphil or Phd, working experience will be sufficient.

What about LSB?? MBS is more than enough for me smile.gif

Hi, anyone of you ever attended Spencer Cheah IRC P2 Classes at FTMS? Is the class crowded like in KSA? I am thinking of going for IRC but somehow I always got demotivated when class is overcrowded.

hi, i heard that if we are studying in gov institution we will get lesser hands on or experience, is that true?
btw to obtain a degree in ipta takes longer time? is it all ipta requires 4 years to complete bachelor of accountancy?
how do u feel of taking the ACCA paper? is it very tough? what does it requires? thx for helping

Hi, actually my personal view is, study in uni will hv much better exposure in term of skills development. As every single subject we will hv presentation, group n individually, assignment group n individual as well. All these will help to develop your soft skills. Else as compared to if u study Acca or lcci or cat, u ll just focus on class lecture n then exam. Correct me if I were wrong. Tot studying local uni will much longer, but I never regret for it. As at least I'm degree holder n guarantee to have MIA after three years of working experience. Indeed I could just don't further taking Acca. But I chose to
Continue study Acca after grad. Becoz future things we will never know, who knows one day I plan to go oversea n work? Haha. Currently I'm going to sit for my last paper this June. Acca is not
Easy I would say, but thanks God that bless me and I passed all papers at first attempt, as I used to self study and didn't attend lecture class as I don't take any bonds. Hopefully I pass this coming last paper too. If you r confident you could hit the Acca down, then u can take Acca course straight, as it s really time
Saving. But just to let you know, I been seeing quite number of my Frds who have no degree, and need to pass Acca before they could obtain Mia qualification. And they failed for few times and spent for additional few years. In conclusion, there is pro n cons

any affiliate got purchased the certificate by MYACCA after they passed all the papers?

Nowadays ACCA doesn't issue any completion certificate for free anymore while require $20 pounds for the issuance of the cert.

We can print out the certificate of completion of level 3 by myacca, I just wonder the $20 pound certificate is it same to this?

as of the above answer

most of the F4 questions are from past year questions, make sure you understand the principles then try to memorise the answers from past year questions, you can pass easily.

F5 you need to know everything inside the syllabus, it used to be the killer when there were only 4 questions x 25 marks. not much advice can be given.

For F6, Q1 and Q2 are mostly fixed, you can try to catch the trend. Q3-Q5, sales tax, withholding tax, service tax are quite general, other topics which you can try to catch are residence-ship, CA, agricultural allowance, employment income etc. what have come out last sem should not be coming out again this time

I want to ask your opinion on answering essay question...

For example, if the question asked about "Customer Satisfaction". And all over the article/case study, they wrote instances of how Co. A handle it's customer...

When you write your answer, do you have to limit yourself in just those instances spelled out in the article?

Or is it possible to give more explanation beyond what was mentioned, which specifically in relation to Co. A..

Because, I am wondering if I can bring real life issues, like McDonalds way of handling with its customer in the answer sheet...



I hope you can understand what im asking.. heheheh~

It's ok to mention current issues.

Maybe what you can do is to criticize what Co.A has been doing, then provide a recommendation without mentioning McD in an easy to understand manner.

it depends on the question and the marks allocation. the question may ask you to critically evaluate or comment on and may ask for recommendations too. you see the marks allocation then you know how much to write. don't overwrite so that you will still have time to answer other questions

taking too many papers at once will divert your attention, instead of passing them together, you did it the other way. just focus on 2 papers if you think that you can't handle 3

One more thing bout f6 is you should be quite familiar with tax treatments such as bad debts, entertainment, trademarks all these. Every sitting it asks bout this, if you dont know means your chance of passing is reduced

taking too many papers at once will divert your attention, instead of passing them together, you did it the other way. just focus on 2 papers if you think that you can't handle 3

U dun really need to write like the model answer~~
u will not have the time to write like the model answer~~
u actually got the answer already~~it test ur understanding~~so make sure u are darn good in the theory and principles~~

Just make sure u can write in a structural way...i.e. link to the principle(s) or accounting standard, explain the them and apply ur judgement~~if u are not able to apply the IAS directly~~jus state ur opinion and how u treat them~~


But my best advice is~~dun pick that Question~~~do Q2 and Q3

*
It is possible if u have strong prove that u are not fit for exam...

let me tell u 2 real life scenario...
1st one is that my friend met with an accident when she is heading for exam (in UCSI)... her car get bang pretty hard but she is still ok~~either way she did not make it to the exam...she appeal to ACCA~~and submit her police report (and i think insurance claim)..ACCA allow her to postpone her exam...

2nd 1 is that my fren kena Dengue Fever 1 week before the exam and is in pretty bad shape even though he was discharged from hospital before the exam~~well..of coz he appealed and submit his admittance report and the cert (and invoice) issued by the hospital...well ACCA take in the consideration and he gt to postpone the exam...

FOR YOUR CASE....i dun think u are manage to get any approvals....unless u try go get urself some fake certs~~

However, i strongly disagree with such unethical actions~~my advice is, forget bout ur job...u still got the 1 month left~~make use of it~~(1 day 3~4 hour to practice 2 past year Qs...1 month u have 60 Qs in ur pocket)


Job more important or ur Qualification more important~~??
i've been through that dilemma and i think there is no way ur job is more important than ur qualification~~
u should focus on ur exam....take a long leave if u needed to~~
i used to take more than 2 weeks off during the very peak time (dun give a damn for the bad review my boss gave me) and believe me..everything pays off IF u manage to pass the papers~!!

Hi all,

Just a quick question, this is a bit of a confusion for me...
The "account balance" shown above the fees section in myACCA is actually the balance that to be paid or available fund for us to use in future?

if it is positive amount means you still have outstanding amount. if you have overpaid, it should show a negative amount or credit balance

you can apply for junior position, some small/medium firms will consider you. i think the chance of getting into Big4 will be quite slim since they usually go for professional level students onwards

anyone taking P5 and P7?

has any examiner articles been published by ACCA with regards to that?

like last time got about P5 EVA, talk whole thing about EVA but never come out sweat.gif

but still, for P7 did come out for a certain ISA (forgot wat already) So maybe its a good thing to read up on it.

plus, got any tips from lecturers? any syllabus change aa in 2012?

The P5 EVA article was not written by P5's examiner, Alex Watt. It was someone else, since it did not come out in the last round, it may come out this time since most of the models have been examined quite regularly

Seriously i did not quote a single ISA in the last P7 sitting since i never memorised them. If you understand those theories, accounting standards, procedures, able to answer those questions according to the requirements, you can pass without having to quote those ISAs

The P5 EVA article was not written by P5's examiner, Alex Watt. It was someone else, since it did not come out in the last round, it may come out this time since most of the models have been examined quite regularly

Seriously i did not quote a single ISA in the last P7 sitting since i never memorised them. If you understand those theories, accounting standards, procedures, able to answer those questions according to the requirements, you can pass without having to quote those ISAs

no wonderrr laaaaa sweat.gif I study dat one like crazy.. but I do have a big hunch it will come out dis time.

waaa you so amazing la.. no quote also can pass P7.. respect thumbup.gif

on P7, what kind of exercise have u been doing aside from reading the textbook? I did everything, from text, exam kit, past years.. but still cry.gif got 45.. i tot at least I cud pass P7.. P5 was a killer no argument there, but P7.. rclxub.gif

I disagree with that...
u may not need to quote the exact ISA NUMBER or TITLE but u MUST be fully aware of what the ISA is talking about and u MUST answer it with reference to the content....

ISA include the EXACT action/requirements that you need to do as an auditor....failing to relate it to ur answer will definitely cost u some important marks and decide if u can pass or not~~i cannot stress how important is the ISA in P7~~

So if you are not aware of it....make sure u start reading~~~

i did not read p7 text book at all since i work full time, i only studied notes then practise on bpp revision kit.

before you start answering the questions, you should read the question requirement, plan your answer (get ready main points), structure it, decide how much to write based on marks allocation (your answer should not be too vague/brief), time management is essential.

last round P5 i bullshit a lot on Q2 bout KPI, i did not know how to write since there are 2 parts quite similar, i wrote almost the same thing, i feel that i should get marks in either part. lol. even if you don't really understand the question/don't know what to write, at least bullshit something there. the way i explained Performance Pyramid also bullshit only, i did not know how to apply PP into an organisation

Do past papers better for revision or read textbook??
I'm kind of sick of textbooks already because it goes into too much detail.

Just try to focus heavily on one or 2 papers and forget bout the other 1~~
again..plan your time..set a target~~~
for example...everyday practice a 2 (main) Questions~~
try ur best to write and answer, look for answer in textbook if you have to..then lastly refer to the model answers...
identify your weakness and make sure you dun make similar mistakes in similar situations~~


F level papers are not that tough~~so i think u can still manage to do it for 2 papers..
provided that u actually learn something during the classes~

My advice is...if u plan to continue attitude like this~~
dun waste ur time in ACCA~~u will have a very hard time trying to past ur papers~and ultimately completing it~~

3 papers still slacking? rclxms.gif

i usually only take 1 or 2 papers each semester. i also start study around 1 month before exam, usually 2 weeks study leave for each subject. i will first read through the notes provided by my lecturer then start practising on revision kit/PYQ. each day do around 7-10 question, cannot do also try first then read answers, try to write out again after looking at the answer. few days before exam i will read my lecturer notes again on few important topics, exam articles and read PYQ answers. It helped me passed most of the time

that time i took F5 and F9 at the same time, i got 3 weeks study leave (work full time) to prepare for exam but i had little knowledge bout F9, i knew i could not pass both, therefore i sacrificed F9. i passed F5 in that sitting, failed F9 with 31 marks, passed F9 in the following sitting.

i always start 1 month before exam because most of the time i only take 1 paper. slow but steady because everytime also pass laugh.gif so far i have only failed twice in ACCA exams and once in CAT exams

Passing P5 and P7 in the last sitting was a surprise for me since i did not take 2 papers at once for a long time already. i took 5 weeks leave just to study these 2 papers, at least my effort was not wasted.

Add on.
During that 5 weeks, i studied from noon till around 7-10pm at night (with some slacking in between)

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. You have done very well, only utilising about a month to prepare for exams, even though it is only 1 paper.

I think individual studying pattern makes a difference, some can clamp in a lot of info in a short period of time (e.g. yourself) while some need more time to absorb & digest (e.g. myself).

I am really happy for you that you have completed your ACCA journey. Enjoy your convocation! rclxms.gif

I will be taking my P2 this June, last paper. Hope to clear it. : )

thanks.

actually i have wasted a lot of time, by right i could have graduated much earlier if i took more papers (at least 2) each semester. in the end i noticed that i am too slow, therefore i made up my mind to take P5 and P7 together.

I could only absorb around 20% to 30% during lecture class, i absorbed most of the knowledge during my study leave. as for p2, i did not know how to do conso during lecture, not even calculating the goodwill. i only have the motivation to study when exam is near, always last minute laugh.gif

P2 needs a lot of practice, practise on the revision kit for few rounds, put extra attention on new accounting standards and effective time management. you should be able to pass rclxms.gif rclxms.gif Good luck!

the only formula is keep on practising, be clear on the conso method you use since different lecturer taught different conso method, make it understandable for the marker. of course i never balanced my SOFP/SOCI/SOCF before in ACCA exams biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

conso question will have some notes asking you to make adjustment to the financial statements, if you don't know that part then just ignore it since your SOFP/SOCF will still balance. don't waste time on thinking how to do if you really have no idea.

time management is essential because in every question, the first 10-15 marks can be picked up easily. if you wasted too much time on Q1, you will end up not enough time on other questions. if you can pick up more than half of the marks of each question, your chance of passing is increased

When you study your P2 did you memorize all the ias (definition etc)? Or just learn how to do the adjustments only?

Thank you for your valuable tips! Honestly, I don't like to do the same questions more than once although last year my P3 lecturer told us to do that, I went agst his advice.... actually... I tried but i gave up simply because i find it quite a chore having to do the same question again when there are so many more questions not attempted.

However, I will heed your advice and try to do it for my P2 since it is going to be my last paper, I will force myself to do it. flex.gif

Thank you once again! really want to get it done and over with.

my accounting standards were quite poor before P2 since i took my F7 in Dec'07 (self study), quite long time ago. even my p2 notes does not cover all the accounting standards because some were learned in F7.

my lecturer would remind us on some accounting standards when he discuss on the Q & A. i also practised on BPP revision kit, from there i learned a lot. you really need to know those accounting standards quite well otherwise you don't know what is wrong with the scenario, you don't know what to write also. these accounting standards will be relevant to P7 as well, memorise it well then can use on P7 again

for example, IAS 37, you must know how to differentiate provision and contingent liabilities (probable vs possible), IAS 38, what are the criterias to be recognised as development costs. These are must know lor

Wait patiently~~it flew to u all the way from England~~
i got the official cert 3 months after i finished my P level~~(after getting result in August)
anyway..ur ACCA Portal should showed that you are already an affiliates~~

You should start praying that ur cert comes to u in 1 piece~~
My stuff gets here in pretty bad shape~~

As i know Ernst & Young will send reject letter if you are not selected. Try to call their office to enquire. Anyway, go in to work in june or july will be very challenging because it is very peak, nobody is free to teach you how to do your work

my case was really weird. Called me up but I was driving on the highway. Told them to call me back.

And then never call. I call back, got, but the receiver said that person call using general line so cannot find her back.

And then, no reject letter whatsoever. But if they do send them out, its a lot better than firms who just leave applicants hanging.

as i see there is not major changes, retaking next round should not be a problem. you still have 4-5 weeks till exam. limit yourself 2 weeks per paper, you should be doing good enough. dropping one subject is only the last resort

Hi , i really need help.

The problem is i want to quit acca now, yea just right before the june exam. I'm doing F4 and F7 right now.

I know i can't get my fees refunded anymore but can i still get back the exam fees that i paid to acca?
*
I don't think you can get refunded. What i'm curious is why quit?

Seriously, its just that i can't stand acca any more. its like a high pressure and high stress course, and the fact that the syllabus is so incredibly huge. Also, acca doesn't teach you anything other than how to become an accountant. I feel like i'm losing my soul lol

it's not really high stress, you put in enough effort, you should be able to pass. you can't pass ACCA overnight, you need to pass paper by paper, climb step by step, you will eventually pass all exam papers.

i also could not foresee myself passing all ACCA papers few year back and yet i have done it today. you can do it too

while you sitting thinking how hard it is and wondering whether to give up or not

others, on the same path..using the time to revise as many as they can

this is the difference between the victor and loser

good luck on any decision u made

Aduh, what you mean wasting away on acca? Yes, it's not easy..but you will reap what you sow in the end..

And acca can branch out in to a lot of stuff not just accountant.

Paid already just try your best. Who knows you pass in the end? Just take it one step at a time, don't stress yourself. If you feel can't handle 2 papers just focus on 1. Like me, when I did F6 and F7, I had no clue what was going on. I made the decision to drop F7 last minute and passed F6 smile.gif Anyway..decision is up to you. Good luck smile.gif

In Sunway, our lecturer always joke with us, if you cannot take ACCA go MUFY. whistling.gif

Thanks to everyone who gave advice smile.gif but I just don't understand why acca is so valuable, like there are some people who re-sit and re-sit again. Is it really that good? Do acca graduates really get higher pay or better chances of promotion compared to masters graduate? Coz that's what all colleges will say but dunno if it's true or not.

Woah 4 times only and you quit ah? But I guess some people are like that..My friend taking P6 and P7 failed both with 49 marks after that he got phobia for ACCA exams..he couldn't go for the finals even though he already paid for them..

Some people just keep continuing on and on for many years. My friend's cousin just passed his last paper (P4) after so many years. He's almost 30 years old.

Hmm, from what I heard..ACCA professional papers is on par with masters..But in the working world ACCA graduates would have the edge (correct me if I'm wrong)..

But really, just do your best..For the F level, I had no clue what was going on most of the time especially for papers F4, F7, F8. But I took 2 by 2 and managed to scrape through the F level smile.gif

I attempt like below:
F4 and F5
F6 and F7(drop)
F7 and F8(fail both) sweat.gif
F7, F8, F9, P1

Out of all the F papers, you're taking 2 of the toughest papers IMO..Maybe that's why you feel so stressed..Also, exam is nearing that's why stress level increase..I also always feel like quitting ACCA the following sem when nearing exams. Pre-exam blues tongue.gif

When I was taking F4 I had decided to quit ACCA just one month before exams because I didn't know a single thing other than the words "offer and acceptance". Can you imagine I scored 0.5marks (rounded up to 1mark doh.gif ) for mock exam?? Somehow managed to pass in the end. F5 to me was easy so I had time to focus on F4. There's still plenty of time..I only started studying F4 about 2 weeks to exams(I don't recommend this) by auditing past year Q..

But it's better now after weeks of memorizing past year papers. The feeling of unprepared for exam really get me feel blues.

Nope..I'm doing P2 rclxub.gif and P3.. Getting the blues again doh.gif

Don't worry..Just try your best for both papers.. Since your F5 okay then put more effort into F4. Still have 1 month to study F4 rclxm9.gif I'm the worse at memorizing stuff..But I managed to go from 0.5 -> 50..If someone like me can pass, everyone else should be able to smile.gif

Yea, sometimes it might be a good idea to let go one for the benefit of the other. Like me, take just 2 papers f6 and F7 but i drop F7 and just passed 1 paper that sem smile.gif

i regret my first seating so badly becoz i only focused on calculations a lot more than standards.

for 2nd seating p2, i thought its gonna be better becoz in anyway i had to study all standards for p7 as well.

so during paper, i knew my calculations sucked anyways(never balance) but i was confident with standards.

wrote everything i could and finished all the questions. guess what, most of the standard questions came out from bpp exam kit shocking.gif

sadly i only peek2 a bit, but still remember few things. so answer like photostat machine la.

got 58.. ahahaha sweat.gif study 4 days only for p2 coz p2 was 2nd week. i tot p2 burn already.

ayam pretty confident ias 12 gonna come out dis time.. its been too long..

also interesting thing to note is,

calculations now only 30% from whole paper.. others all writing! (if u neglect the part b question, dont choose the kira2 one la sweat.gif )

i agree to this since if you are not well prepared, you won't even know how to answer those questions. It does not matter how lucky you are. lets say you can run away from F7, can you be lucky at P2 again? laugh.gif laugh.gif

although sometimes i will still say that i am lucky because those topics that i don't know usually won't come out but those topics may consist of 10% of the syllabus

Need advices from fellow seniors, I had decided to go for P6, but struggling to make a choice between P4 and P5 for dec 2012 examination. Currently my institution is opened for pre-enrollment.

I was told that P5 is getting more harder to pass in the exam since the recent change of the examiner, and I know that P5 includes some elements of P3? For which I hate remembering models tongue.gif

However, I only got 50% for my F9 in previous exam, this is the main reason that I dare not to choose P4 after considering the difficulty to pass P5 exam nowadays.

Please advice. yawn.gif and, will my choice between these two papers restricts my future career? Which's better combination between P4&6/P5&6?

Thanks in advance smile.gif

why not P7? it is not really that difficult to study but also not easy to pass la. better future prospect if you take P6 + P7. Big 4 will encourage employees to take P6 + P7

for me, the best combination is P4 + P7. P4 will help you understand the financial market better, you can do your own investment as well. taking P7 will add more value on your CV, easier for you to gain membership to MIA as well

i got 63 for F9 but i dare not take P4 because of previous comments here, some seniors said P4 is very difficult. I got 2 friends retake in December 2011 (they passed), i know it is not easy therefore i chose P5. I thought P5 is easy but never thought after change of examiner, it has become more theoretical, a lot of analysis/application, less calculation. i managed to pass at first attempt too.

the P6 you study has covered most of the Income Tax Act 1967 but certain practical matters still not covered inside and case laws are not included. Chartered Tax Institute of Malaysia (CTIM) tax papers have 2 parts, 1 of it is specifically test on tax law cases, that really makes you specialise in tax. one more disadvantage of taking P6 is it is not applicable when you work overseas since different country has different tax laws. this is also a reason why i did not take P6. overall if you like tax, you can take P6

out of the 4, my first choice will definitely be P7

CTIM is a professional body in Malaysia specialises in Malaysia tax, i am unsure how to enroll to their course, you may google for more information. as i know, their exam is only 1 year once in December. If you really want to be a tax specialist then you can consider taking those papers after passing ACCA

Never tought of taking P7 because I don't have much confidence to study audit again, I heard P7 is combination of IASs and ISAs, I don't think I can manage both of those standards sad.gif Like my friend, she feels audit is ok for her, so she can easily decided to take P6&7..

You got quite good mark but you didn't give P4 a try tongue.gif Refer to your previous comment, does that means P4 is more useful than P5 in real life?

1st...are you going to audit?

2nd ...if u just join from junior level ... not necessary to have p7 ... u need to learn from the very basic

p7 usually is for more higher level auditor since mainly it focus on how to plan audit rather than carry out an audit itself

3rd...what is ur preference in those 4 optional?

4th.... any good lecturers in those papers in ur area?

and like i said ... we all can advise u according to our own experience and perspectives

which are mostly different...

one man's meat is one man's poison


u should decide it urself based on ur heart on which u have more interest/confident

so that u got no ppl to blame but urself should u fail tongue.gif

which i hope u won't

cos if u're really interested in it...u wont allow it to be failed right?

p4 should earn better if you get into investment banking line just like wall street. P5 will get you to be a management accountant while p2 will get you to be a financial accountant, my lecturer said a management accountant can earn better than a financial accountant because your boss does not value how strong is your IFRS standards

Yeah. F4 is killing me. really hate memorizing stuffs. However, i already finish memorizing other parts except for the company law. but company law is just too huge. I think i'll just read through the past year questions for company law and try to focus on some topic emphasis by my lecturer. Did your F4 lecturer teach partnership?

I hope you know that company law constitutes the largest portion of marks in the F4 paper, close to 50 marks, possibly more. It seems very risky trying to attempt paper without studying almost half te syllabus.

this caught my attention. so you're saying that the examiner has changed since last seating? that means even for this coming seating is this examiner who loves to test theories??

thats a good signal to me!! coz i hate calculations like hell shakehead.gif

but seriously? so thats why last seating calculation all so damn little?? (and yet i dun pass sweat.gif)

this caught my attention. so you're saying that the examiner has changed since last seating? that means even for this coming seating is this examiner who loves to test theories??

thats a good signal to me!! coz i hate calculations like hell  shakehead.gif

but seriously? so thats why last seating calculation all so damn little?? (and yet i dun pass sweat.gif)

I also got 63 for F9  icon_rolleyes.gif

you read the questions of past few sittings, this Alex Watt tests us more on theories, unlike previous examiner Shane Johnson who gave us some easymarks. I chose p5 because i thought it was the easiest among the 4. In the end i felt that p7 is easier to pass

i regret my first seating so badly becoz i only focused on calculations a lot more than standards.

for 2nd seating p2, i thought its gonna be better becoz in anyway i had to study all standards for p7 as well.

so during paper, i knew my calculations sucked anyways(never balance) but i was confident with standards.

wrote everything i could and finished all the questions. guess what, most of the standard questions came out from bpp exam kit shocking.gif

sadly i only peek2 a bit, but still remember few things. so answer like photostat machine la.

got 58.. ahahaha  sweat.gif study 4 days only for p2 coz p2 was 2nd week. i tot p2 burn already.

ayam pretty confident ias 12 gonna come out dis time.. its been too long..

also interesting thing to note is,

calculations now only 30% from whole paper.. others all writing! (if u neglect the part b question, dont choose the kira2 one la sweat.gif )
*
so basically p2 is about memorising the IASes right? I planned to memorise the last week before exams. On the other hand i have p1 to worry about as well. =(

Mr. Akhbar? He's quite slack in class which is why I'm considering taking p5 outside.. hmm.gif

i see. It seems I have misunderstood something. The previous examiner offered more scope for easy marks.. and the examiner NOW is a real killer.. rclxub.gif

Gosh.. just dunno wat to expect this seating.. some questions from mock did come out last time, dunno about this one sad.gif

well not really just memorize. you have to tailor your answer to the questions of course. however, regurgitation should offer some marks, or better additional ones.

Yea, i'll be doing the same thing as u for revision. Law just has too many things to memorise,gotta remember the case, some more got so many names... sweat.gif

not strange at all

by focusing more on some important chapters and lesser care to those not so important chapters

examiner can easily catch all students off guard if he really want to fail you all

i myself had tried this b4 ... not focusing on linear progression on f5 since it came out last sitting

oso did not revise on ABC as it was asked as well

when i flip the question booklet and saw both ABC and linear progression...I was stunned

however, "luck" did side me as I managed to get 51 ...so close to fail

thats why I emphasis on better not knowing the tips and rather revise all

and the luck I mentioned..apart from "preparation meets luck" from another forumer ...

it's the luck u got the questions u liked, have confident... rather than the questions spotted by lecturers but you're not really good with it... or u're not good with it but u have some luck to get 50% of the total marks smile.gif

when u noe tips...u will tend to focus more and lost some care for others no matter how u argue

im not trying to stand on high ground and menegur u all

i was rushing for time so i leave short reply... if not i will type long posts smile.gif


Added on May 18, 2012, 7:00 pmp/s: by revising all ... u can at least get 50% from all questions eventually (theoretically) rather than hoping to get 50% from those important chapters alone

You got a living example here who does not memorise isa standards but can pass p7
p7 trains you to be an audit manager/partner, what you studied at f8 are just basic audit procedures. P7 has a lot of new stuff to study
p4 should earn better if you get into investment banking line just like wall street. P5 will get you to be a management accountant while p2 will get you to be a financial accountant, my lecturer said a management accountant can earn better than a financial accountant because your boss does not value how strong is your IFRS standards

Your point makes sense. However I must say I have experienced an exact opposite scenario to yours. I had been expecting to fail a particular exam, instead I ended up doing very well purely based on tips. It was my SPM History paper and I just couldn't bring myself to study it, for obvious reasons. However I attended a seminar very close to the exams conducted by an actual marker who supplied us with really accurate tips. I managed to get an A. So I don't think you can generalize by saying tips should not be relied on. Instead IMO, tips can make a difference if use to complement your exam preparation.

Wow... So you should know better whether you should attend his P5 class or not. He only taught me F5 tongue.gif Sometimes when he joked but no one laugh, was really funny. But the fact that he made us wrote the full answers are not chilling biggrin.gif Anyway I'm still ok with it because he always repeat some important points to the extent that we remember it.

Who taught you F6 then? I saw your previous enquiry about ms rozi and ms kok, but ms kok was not my lecturer before so I didn't comment. doh.gif

Ps. I guess it'll be his first semester teaching P5 but I'm not too sure. Previously P5 was taught by the P4 lecturer Mr Michael according to this semester timetable. (wonder what's the reason behind this change smile.gif )

Yea it was Michael before this..Maybe cause the examiner changed and more theoretical so changed lecturer to Mr Akhbar but who knows? I met him the other day and he just mentioned to me he's gonna teach P5 next sem haha.

For F6..I attended ms Kok's class 1st 2 lessons then I switched to Ms Rozi because I felt Ms Kok not serious with that group (previously that group is her T6 group so they keep joking joking). Ms Rozi on the other hand quite ganas tongue.gif

Just wondering if Ms Kok is different in P level..? unsure.gif

Very solid advice there rclxms.gif notworthy.gif

But the truth is, acca syllabus is really huge. To study every chapter and continuously pay attention takes really serious dedication.

I'm not even sure if there's enough time now to revise all the chapters and manage to retain everything for the exam. Thats why ask for tips for important chapters. Haiz...sucks to be an acca student T.T

hehe

if u really pay attention during lecture..it wont be a problem

revise using past years is the quickest way if u really dun have time left

my way of revision for multiple papers:


example u taking p7 p5 and p2 all different dates but have some revision time in between

i will just revise p2 n p5 1st and leave p7 the last..but longest time for duration of the revision

so that u can totally focus on p7 until it is over

and when u need to revise p2 n p5..u can do it faster in shorter period

since u have revised b4 ...

Did you teacher ask you to study in partnership?? Because there was actually 100% sure for the past few years that after partnership come out, the next sem would be agency!! Just want to clarify this.

Excellent question. Except I never said that we should rely on tips. All I said was tips can be used to complement your exam preparation. Relying totally on tips would be an unintelligent move.

it's the same actually....

it's how are u going to pick which 1 u going to be used to complement ur preparation

since there are so many tips..which can cover as wide as whole syllabus if compare as a whole

unless all tips point to one thing...

at the end of day ... it's just easier to read all and not having to fear u miss out any

which is better preparation method after all

I think it would be better to drop paper if you think you really can't cope with studying multi papers.
I just give up F6 and now focusing on F4 and F5. After company law then I'll start F5 liao.
All the best yeah~~

Not partnership, my lecturer asked us to study loan capital and company formation. Don't know if its reliable or not.

I don't understand what u mean, are u saying that agency would be coming out?

I know, i totally neglected my F7, i don't know how to do the adjustments  cry.gif Considering dropping F7 to concentrate on F4 entirely.

I did that when I was taking F6 with F7. Chose to drop F7 to concentrate on F6..Man I hate F7..Didn't understand a thing my lecturer was saying..Felt she teaches too fast..

Very solid advice there  rclxms.gif  notworthy.gif 

But the truth is, acca syllabus is really huge. To study every chapter and continuously pay attention takes really serious dedication.

I'm not even sure if there's enough time now to revise all the chapters and manage to retain everything for the exam. Thats why ask for tips for important chapters. Haiz...sucks to be an acca student T.T
*
for my case, i've short term memory. by the time i've revised the whole syllabus, i would forget what i've revised initially....then have to revise again unsure.gif

i will normally listen to what my lecturer emphasizes, coz normally my lecturer makes sense in giving advice.
however, i have met a lecturer b4, kept telling us his tips have never gone wrong, kept saying he's using high accuracy forecasting tools, and skipped to teach some topics in the syllabus, eventually this lecturer's tips were too wrong for my sitting. but thank God i passed also, even though i know nothing about transfer pricing that my lecturer skipped biggrin.gif

Hi there

I'm sure everyone must be busy right now preparing for the coming ACCA Exam in June. Good LUCK!!! flex.gif flex.gif

I'm currently doing P1, P2 and P3 in Sunway college, but we have a deadline to register for the next semester. I've been reading lowyat post to decide whether I should continue doing my P6 and P7 in Sunway, as it seems that Sunway lecturers are not that highly recommended for optional papers.


P7

For P7 Ms Sheila from Elitejaya seems to be highly recommended, however living in Sunway having to travel there might be an issue. So I'm just wondering if attending her revision class itself is sufficient (on top of attending lectures from your respective colleges?) or is worth travelling to KL on weekday mornings to take up her full time class in Elitejaya. sweat.gif sweat.gif


P6

The ridiculously high failing rate worries me, on top of that I'm also exempted from F6. It is not recommended to proceed? I don't mind putting in extra effort, but sometimes we can only go that far. Any tips on how to pass the paper especially for those that are exempted from f6? or any really good lecturers to recommend? (i know that Low Chin Ann is in the list but anyone else other than that?). Rozy's class in Sunway is full ohmy.gif ohmy.gif


Thanks a lot, will really appreciate your replies and advice!! Again, best of luck everyone!!!! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

as far as I'm concerned...passing rate of P6 increased since the change of examiner


Added on May 19, 2012, 6:05 pmand oh yea im taking p6 after failing p7 during 1st attempt

in addition..im exempted for f6 as well

the only disadv is u might not noe well about personal tax, partnership and etc

which may ask in a small part in p6 ...

for me..so far so good in p6...but i'll have to work harder on f6 syllabus when I start my revision

Yea it was Michael before this..Maybe cause the examiner changed and more theoretical so changed lecturer to Mr Akhbar but who knows? I met him the other day and he just mentioned to me he's gonna teach P5 next sem haha.

For F6..I attended ms Kok's class 1st 2 lessons then I switched to Ms Rozi because I felt Ms Kok not serious with that group (previously that group is her T6 group so they keep joking joking). Ms Rozi on the other hand quite ganas tongue.gif

Just wondering if Ms Kok is different in P level..?  unsure.gif

Why didn't you ask him why? tongue.gif haha.

FYI, I have one senior, F6 was under ms rozi, who's taking P6 with ms kok now, felt ms rozi exactly the same as you, haha, which is ganas, so she didn't change group even though she regretted taking p6 with ms kok...

Haha I was one of the below 50%. Was asked to do a report. Some students they took it so seriously, each mistake they write out why they went wrong, how it should be done, and what they going to do in the future. Some just write "didn't study this part" for every mistake they did. As for me.....I didn't even do the report tongue.gif

HARLO! p1 p2 p3 in sunway as well? Me too! I'm from G3. (Ms Kiren's & ms wong's) whereas i'm in the part time class for ms menon. soo..... we might have met brows.gif

Well, with regards to the optionals, I seemed to hear the same comments from seniors and friends who are already working. They said the same thing about P7 and yes, Ms Sheila comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. And just like you i seem to have trouble travelling around as public transport around and out of sunway is a huge hassle. Well, i'm opting for P4 financial management so i'm not so sure what people have to say about taking it in sunway. And i understand that its not one of the popular optionals.

For now i've registered for both papers mentioned above and i might drop one of them. Probably opt for Ms Sheila's class in time to come. At least i know now that i'm not the only one having this dilemma. hmm.

Oh btw revision for p123 is driving me nuts. hahah this 3 per sitting is no joke yo!! Anyway all the best to you.

As far as i know, this is merely to "reserve" a seat in the classes with your preferred lecturers/timeslots. They will not hesitate to take you in even as late as 4-5 weeks after the commencement of classes. Ada duit kambing, why would they not accept you brows.gif

For the record, even i registered in sunway a week after commencement. So, chill, shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, what u say is true..but if too late you will need to ask the lecturers to sign a paper accepting you in their class..And for certain classes which are full they won't accept you..

Just pay up and you'll be fine.

Previously one student commented ACCA send an e-maill saying they will drop his name from the register if he failed to pay by a certain date. Turns out ACCA already blocked his e-payment and had to pay manually using bank draft.

PYQ and revision kit are generally the same, just that the model answers may be slightly different. anyway, the most important step to pass exam is to practise questions

Hmm, not much time left..It depends on how much you don't know for F7..If its just one part you can't do or a lot? Also how many other papers you taking and how good you are with the other papers.

I felt the same way when i tried to do F6 pyp... like knowing nothing... felt panic...
if u really want drop it.. drop it now... don't waste too much time on it if you really know you can't do it.
F4 is relatively easier i guess... just understand the past year papers and try your best to memorize them.
Still got about 4 weeks for F4, i guess should be enough gua...
Still on the way memorizing and forgeting and memorizing again F4... Zzz

Hmm..i thought that i could do both papers..but now i think i might have to drop F7 for good, the exam date is coming so fast, actually quite worried coz the adjustments for F7 is extensive and rather complicated. Scared i can't catch up studying for both papers.

I think i better put full concentration on passing F4 instead.

I'm sorry to say this, but I find your condescending, know it all attitude very annoying. I'd appreciate if you could understand a particular post properly first before making a hasty comment. At no point did she imply that we all should quit if things get difficult. She merely said that considering the amount of time left before the exams and her preparation level, it'd probably be best for her to sacrifice one subject to concentrate all of her efforts in the other. This makes perfect sense as if she does not do this, she'd be diluting her efforts and could end up failing both subjects, in which case this entire term would be wasted. Since you couldn't possibly know anything about her preparation level, your remark was unjustified. If you don't understand what people are saying, then pls refrain from commenting.

To be honest, I find it amusing how you missed out Tzxsean's sarcasm.

There's 3 more weeks to exam, if you give up so easily, then sad to say, it will take a very long time for the person to even pass ACCA with such attitude.

When you are taking such tough examination papers, if you prepare for it but in the end fail, at least you showed effort to try, rather than excuses to just drop 1 paper due to insecurity. You already paid for the paper, might as well just try it out.

I find it funny that this thread is actually so full of pessimistic people that even resorting to dropping papers or quitting ACCA when things get tough..

I'm sorry to say this, but I find your condescending, know it all attitude very annoying. I'd appreciate if you could understand a particular post properly first before making a hasty comment. At no point did she imply that we all should quit if things get difficult. She merely said that considering the amount of time left before the exams and her preparation level, it'd probably be best for her to sacrifice one subject to concentrate all of her efforts in the other. This makes perfect sense as if she does not do this, she'd be diluting her efforts and could end up failing both subjects, in which case this entire term would be wasted. Since you couldn't possibly know anything about her preparation level, your remark was unjustified. If you don't understand what people are saying, then pls refrain from commenting.

To be honest, I find it amusing how you missed out Tzxsean's sarcasm.

There's 3 more weeks to exam, if you give up so easily, then sad to say, it will take a very long time for the person to even pass ACCA with such attitude.

When you are taking such tough examination papers, if you prepare for it but in the end fail, at least you showed effort to try, rather than excuses to just drop 1 paper due to insecurity. You already paid for the paper, might as well just try it out.

I find it funny that this thread is actually so full of pessimistic people that even resorting to dropping papers or quitting ACCA when things get tough..

You find it amusing ? I find it shocking ! That there are so many judgmental people around in this thread. How is it that you're able to deduce that she has "given up easily" ? You couldn't possibly know anything about her preparation. Your mind has totally failed to consider the fact that she could've had extenuating circumstances which led her to be ill-prepared for the exams. She could've been ill. Someone in her family could've been ill. She might be working full time and could've been overloaded with work. Instead of giving her the benefit of the doubt, you jump to conclusions, attack her attitude and label her insecure. 

Mind you she never said that she was not going to sit for the exam. She just said that she probably felt it was better to focus her efforts hereon on one subject. She might very well sit for the other paper as well based on what she has studied thus far. How do you know ? 

One more thing, sarcasm is all fine and dandy for as long as the other person is in a receptive state. It's obvious from her comments that's she pretty agitated about the impending exams. At this stage, a statement like that is considered mocking and insulting.

If you're referring me at least reply directly to me ok? Don't resort to your passive aggressive manner of not replying directly to me, its cowardly. Its like wanting to insult someone but not wanting to take responsibility for your own words. Sometimes your posts are just plain disrespectful.

I don't get you at all, you do behave like such a jerk on this thread. Do you have the ability to stop for one second and rephrase your words so that you are not misunderstood as a jerk, or you just are. I remember the first time i posted on this acca thread being really upset after failing and then you responded with a smiley face claiming how you were a ''lucky'' acca student, rubbing salt into my wound.

I think this thread is for acca students to give advice, discuss, share each others frustrations, give support etc. No one needs your high and mighty judgement here. Frankly, i don't find your comments helpful, you only want to criticize with your cynical and sarcastic remarks. So from now on, although anyone can post, i am telling you are NOT WELCOME to reply/respond to any of my posts. Please and thank you smile.gif

nope chiahau, i didn't miss that.

I have to tell you something, what do you even know about me? You're just some guy who jumped to your own conclusions at my predicament, not knowing what actually happened to me or such. Dropping papers due to insecurity? there you go with jumping into your own conclusions.

And yes, i want to drop one paper, big deal, plenty of people do it you know, nobody needs your mean spirited judgement here. If you even have one ounce of good intentions you didn't show it, ok, with your insulting words that you chose.

Hi guys! Cool ok? I guess everyone is under great stress as the exam is getting closer.

I believe tzxsean did not mean it negatively.

He contributes to this forum regularly and he has given many valuable advices in the past. Please don't judge him by just this latest post. He might be facing great stress too!

Do stay positive and spend time practising PYQ and exam kits. And let's encourage each other and not arguing...

Let's spend our next few days constructively and do a few questions a day and keep the failing away!

Keep our spirit up! : )

you will feel his/her pain when exam is 3 weeks away and your preparation is only at beginning level. taking 3 or 4 papers each semester is not easy, you really need to put in a lot of effort to ensure yourself can pass all of them at one go. or else, you just need to give up on certain paper/s instead of resitting all of them

Ops, wrongly quoted but wth.. Let it be. This reply is towards those who actually feel that they are the person mentioned.

Being nice to you does not mean I have good intentions, and being crude with my choice of words does not mean I want to see you fail. As a fellow peer taking this paper, I would like to see another peer passes the paper too.

Well, why no prepare early? As you said, you are a full time student taking 2 F level papers. If you are a part time student or a working class student taking 3 P level papers, then yea, I might be able to understand your suffering. Come on, we all are adults here. If you don't prepare well, then its your own fault to begin with.

If you are not prepared due to your inability to study beforehand, don't complain so much. Enough said.

I don't have to know you to judge you and same goes with the examiner when they are marking your paper.

Can i just say, you were spot on with how condescending he( Tzxsean) was. I have been wondering from day 1 why anyone has tolerated his comments.

Finally -

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the pit well is to shake it off and take a step up. We can get out of the deepest pits by not stopping and never giving up. Just shake it off and take a step up.
Try it, it works!

For those who are preparing for exam remember not to give up when things get tough. The tough gets going. Good luck

This reply is to the person who feels that they are the person mentioned???at least have the guts to reply to me, coward. You even quoted my reply for gods sakes. You can save it with your fake "nice act" here. It sounds like you want to make peace here but by telling me it was my inability to study beforehand and I shouldn't complain??Like I said,this thread is for ppl to share frustrations etc. If you don't like it don't hang out here. You're just a casual observer, moreover this is your first post here. You do admit you don't have good intentions, and you honestly judged me like I was a piece of garbage, I haven't had anyone been so disrespectful and offend me as low as you have. You like feeling superior, mocking ppl huh and I'm just one of your victims. I dare you to apologize to me on this thread.

Hmm..i thought that i could do both papers..but now i think i might have to drop F7 for good, the exam date is coming so fast, actually quite worried coz the adjustments for F7 is extensive and rather complicated. Scared i can't catch up studying for both papers.

I think i better put full concentration on passing F4 instead.

Hey there, have u gone through all your revision class for F4 yet? Do u want to compare notes and see whether our lecturers tips have similarities or completely different?
*
I think Nothingz's advise on studying F4 would be good.
don't question spot since the questions are really limited.
Try to compile the pyp (Q1 to Q7) into 5 categories: Malaysia legal system, contract & tort, agency, employment and company and try to memorize them.
For the last 3Q, contract would not be a problem if you have the knowledge from PYPs (Q1 to Q7)
But company... just do as much as possible LOL
My lecturer says the probability for partnership to come out this sem is really low, but it's unpredictable.
And my lecturer says that sometimes the examiner would throw in some questions which are very unique (require very specific knowledge) or has never come out before but they won't form too much of the marks.
My lecturer also tell us not to question spot and advise us to study the whole syllabus.
If you really want to hold on something one day before the exam, this can be his advice:
Malaysia legal system : Subsidiary legislation
Contract : Consideration, classification of terms.
Employment : Due inquiry, laid off, redundancy (if main stream comes out) but he says something unique will come out on this (right of the employees)
Agency : Duties of agent towards principal
Partnership : If really does come out, he believes will be characteristic
Company : scheme of arrangement, ultra vires, promoter, fraudulent trading, wrongful trading, variation of class rights
However, use it as your own risk LOL

Really can't stand the volume of syllabus of company =='''

F5 is killing me too... The new examiner is a beast!!!

Its probably irrelevant now but imho your study strategy was incorrect. You should've started with company as it constitutes the biggest portion of the syllabus. I don't blame you. Even my own lecturer only started teaching it midway through April, which I find to be very counter productive. You want to be able to get the biggest chunk out of the way first before attempting the smaller parts.

I agree with you about Ann Irons though. She has really changed the structure of the paper. It's a lot more theoretical now and I find that quite discomforting.

How many papers are you taking?
Because I started my revision very late.
I only realised how difficult ACCA is until my class test 1 month ago...
Blame it on the changing of FIA's examination to MCQ =='''
Now I just concentrate on F4 & F5 and gave up F6 lol.

I think the most discomforting is that my lecturer skips lot of the syllabus which he think might not come out because they never come out e.g. performance measure of non-profit organisation, market demand and so on.
Really hope like what he said it will not come out... Zz

I'm taking F5/F6. I feel sad for you that your lecturer skipped parts of the syllabus. Regardless of whether it comes out in the exams, lecturers have a duty to teach it. They fail to understand that we're learning not just to pass exams, but to apply it in work in the future. I'm very thankful for the fact that my lecturer covered the entire syllabus thoroughly. He did differentiate topics which were exam important and those which were not, emphasizing on the important parts. Nevertheless he covered the entire syllabus.

Yup. Btw there's not much room to play around with in the F6 paper. The template is pretty much constant. 1st and 2nd Qs will be corporate/personal tax, 55marks. Indirect taxes guaranteed 10marks. Balance 35marks could consist of a combination of smaller topics. IINM, WHT and Partnership came out last sitting. So could be residence, derivation or RPGT for this one.


Added on May 23, 2012, 12:40 amBtw regarding tips, he did mention employment income, S13(1)(b) and Sch. 3 Allow(IBA) having high likelihoods of popping out this time.

Struggling with planning & operational variance.
Must material price planning variance + material usage planning variance = total material planning variance?
If this is the case then the material price planning variance + material price operational variance =/ the material price variance... ==

Material Price Variance(MPV) + Material Usage Variance(MUV) = Material Cost Variance.

Im not sure what your symbols mean but i assume you're implying they do not equate. IINM, the reason they don't is because you're using the CIMA method. It only balances if you use ACCA method, for which the answers of MPVplanning and MUVoperational will differ as they need to worked out differently.

I'm doing Secure Net (12/09 Q1)
(a) The total material price variance is 4375(A) and the total material usage variance is 2000 (F).
(b) The examiner answer: The planning price variance is 3360(A) and the operation price variance is 1575(A). Total up would be 4935(A) which is different from the total material price variance in Q1(a).
And so are the planning usage variance and operation usage variance, which total is 2560(F). this is also different from Q1(a)'s total material usage variance.
However, if you sum them up, 4935 (A) + 2560 (F) = 2375 (A), which is equal to the material cost variance (4375(A) + 2000(F) = 2375(A)

for F6 and P6, put some concentration on those latest amendments in budget 2011. such as rental income under 4(d) is now 1 source of income regardless of how many properties as per the public ruling 2011, the criterias to determine whether the rental income should be assessed under 4(a) or 4(d) have been amended too

I'm doing Secure Net (12/09 Q1)
(a) The total material price variance is 4375(A) and the total material usage variance is 2000 (F).
(b) The examiner answer: The planning price variance is 3360(A) and the operation price variance is 1575(A). Total up would be 4935(A) which is different from the total material price variance in Q1(a).
And so are the planning usage variance and operation usage variance, which total is 2560(F). this is also different from Q1(a)'s total material usage variance.
However, if you sum them up, 4935 (A) + 2560 (F) = 2375 (A), which is equal to the material cost variance (4375(A) + 2000(F) = 2375(A)

IINM this paper was during Geoff Cordwell's time. He introduced the CIMA method which is what this answer is based on. If you look at the bottom of the answer, you'll notice a note saying any other method applied consistently will score full marks. This refers to the old ACCA method. 

Anyways, just to help you out, ACCA method works out MPVplanning and MUVoperational differently, as follows : 

MPVplanning:
(4.8-4)x 3500=2800(A)

MUVoperational:
(4200-3500)x4=2800(F)

So using revised values:

MPV=2800(A)+1575(A)=4375(A)

MUV=2800(F)+800(A)=2000(F)

Hopefully this clears your doubt.

That's what my answer was!!!
So both methods are right? Even if their total planning & operational variance are different???

The other thing is that i found that assessing performance is really time-consuming.
It's really hard to link the clues given by the examiner...
So long as I make sensible comment, it wouldn't be marked wrong right??
For example, Crumbly Cake (June 09).
We has been told that 'the business should use only organic ingredients in its cake production. Organic ingredients are more expensive but should produce a product with an improved flavour and give health benefits for the customers. It was hoped that this would stimulate demand and enable an immediate price increase for the cakes.'

And it turns out the material price variance is adverse.
However, we has not been told that whether previously is organic ingredients being used in production.
If it really does use organic ingredients previously, then there would have been a standard price for organic ingredients.
So the material price variance would not be an effect for changing of the ingredients used.
Thus can i say that the adverse material price variance is caused by the poor negotiation skill instead of saying that the variance is caused by changing of ingredient based on my assumption??

I wasn't able to look at the question but I have done it before. If my memory serves me correctly, the new chef introduces the organic ingredients. They were definitely using non organic ingredients before. There was an unrevised standard cost card which caused the huge MPV hence it certainly is because of the higher prices of organic ingredients and not anything else.

Hi guys! I got few simple basic F3 questions i need to ask.

1. In Aug 09, Hco acquired 80% of Sco 200,000 $1 ordinary share capital. Year end is Dec 09.
At Jan 09, Sco had retained earning of $320k and made profit for the year end Dec 09 of $48k.
Asume profit accrued evenly throughout the year. What are the net assets of Sco at acquisition date?

2. Which following books are settlement discount allowed entered?
Cash book? Journal? Sales Day Book? or Purchase Day Book?

3. Aco sold goods for which it paid $140k to it's subsidiary Bco. Aco charges mark up 40%.
In 2000, Bco sold 80% of the good it purchased from Aco.
How much should be eliminated as unrealised profit from consolidated financial statement?

4. Item cost £3k to purchase. cost £300 to get the item ready. plan to sell it for £3.4k. would cost £3.7k to buy similar item of it. draft financial statement valued the inventory at £2.9k. which inventory valuation method is used?

5. In disposal of NCA in cash flow statement prepared using indirect method, is is correct to say profit of disposal on NCA should be deducted and actual proceed received are from investing activities and not from operating activities?

Asume profit accrued evenly throughout the year. What are the net assets of Sco at acquisition date?
Assuming acquisition on 1 Aug

(48k x 7/12) + 320k =348k

then 348k+200k=548k


3. Aco sold goods for which it paid $140k to it's subsidiary Bco. Aco charges mark up 40%.
In 2000, Bco sold 80% of the good it purchased from Aco.
How much should be eliminated as unrealised profit from consolidated financial statement?

140k /1.4 x 20% =20


4. Item cost £3k to purchase. cost £300 to get the item ready. plan to sell it for £3.4k. would cost £3.7k to buy similar item of it. draft financial statement valued the inventory at £2.9k. which inventory valuation method is used?

cost (3k) or NRV (3.4k-300), whichever lower

5. In disposal of NCA in cash flow statement prepared using indirect method, is is correct to say profit of disposal on NCA should be deducted and actual proceed received are from investing activities and not from operating activities?

Yes

net asset at year start =200K +320K =520K

net asset at acquisition date =200k +320k +(48k x 7/12) = calculate yourself  tongue.gif

when your customer purchase on credit from you for RM100 goods

Debit AR 100
Credit Revenue 100

when you give discount RM 10 on settlement

Debit Cash 90
Debit Discount allowed 10
Credit AR 100

if you are looking at the whole settlement transaction, cash book is included


Else, the transaction can be separated

Debit Cash 90
Credit AR 90

Debit Discount allowed 10
Credit AR 10


the discount allowed transaction alone does not involve cash book

Being first time for me to sit for written based exams, I have some questions regarding the exam:
During the first 15 minute reading & planning time can we write on the question paper?
Must we answer the question in order?
Can I use correction fluid/tape??
If I really can't answer the question, should I leave the answer blank or simply bullshit??

i still used correction fluid but it is not advisable because it will waste your time to apply it and you have to wait for it to dry to write on it. it is quite time wasting. it is better that you just cross it

that's too old school, even if you have it, it may not be relevant anymore since the tax laws change every year

waa.. left 2 more weeks aa.. sweat.gif

hows prep everyone? i finished all my exam kit already now want to read text book a bit and do those bloody 2011 past years cry.gif

did anyone read the syllabus change for P7? well its not really a syllabus change, but they did change financial statement risks into "risks of material misstatement on financial statement" sth like that la..

and then got highlight on not confusing business risk with audit risk, and then it says in audit risk, focus more on inherent and control risk, if write about detection risk get no marks.

also got many mentions on group audit la (ISA 600)

who knows? last seating article talk about isa 450 and isa 260 265, a lot of that came out man.

but this time, p5 no article right? however, i have a good feeling its gonna be EVA.

Hey junggle, my lecturer did give me some tips on what he thinks are the more important chapters and have a higher chance of coming out for F4.

-Loan Capital
-Other company officers
-Company formation
-Share Capital
-Corporate restructuring
-Company meetings and resolutions.

Yea, i know it sucks having to memorize so much info rclxub.gif ,but how exactly do u study?Do u just read through or something?

Because usually what i do is read up on a chapter and then write down as many things that i can remember on a piece of paper.

you must know the latest changes in order to answer dec 2012 questions. IRB issued a lot of public rulings in 2011, not sure it will be examinable for you. even your 2011 text book may not have reflected them

Thanks for the tips. I didn't even touch my textbook for revision.
Since people saying that mostly 70% to 80% will be repeated from the PYPs, so I just read the PYPs and memorize.

Don't know did anyone share this? If yes then just ignore~~

From Open Tuition,

ACCA Exam tips for Paper F5

Activity Based Costing

Cost volume profit analysis

Planning and Operational Variances

Budgets – mainly written, but with preparation of a flexed budget and commenting on it

Financial and non-financial performance measures (with main emphasis on non-financial)

Pray hard for these to come out!!

I'll scream in the exam hall if it really does.

P6 Advanced Taxation ATX(3.2)
Low Chin Ann (KB)
Chong Kwai Fatt (IRC only- uncertain in which college)

Any other good lecturers to recommend for P6? as Ms Rozy in sunway's class is full.
And for P7, between Sheila and Joey Wong, any idea who's better? Thanks icon_rolleyes.gif

For me, i found p4 is easier than p5. the p5 question some how is damn hard to understand n 1 of my weaknesses is to identify that performance measure from the data available.

But it is depend on the person, everyone hav different opinion when studying the same subject.

pray hard that i could pass p5 dis round =)

It's not the college that you should be considering but the paper that you're sitting for. Good lecturers are not all teaching in the same college.

What papers are you sitting for ?

Well there are many good lecturers in the klang valley. I'm taking te exact same papers this term.

F4 - Ms Sanjeetha @ Kasturi - I was not in her class but had friends in it. They were very happy.

F5/F6 - I took both these papers under Mr Low Chin Ann @ Kolej Bandar. He's a great lecturer. Very thorough, doesn't skip parts and makes complex topics easy to understand.

How about Sunway?
Frankly I plan to go Sunway but I worry that the fees are too high so it might not worth it
So I want to know the advantage and disadvantage of both college

Np. I'm glad to help. I don't know much about Sunway apart from what I've gathered from friends and LYN. Many of them seem to believe that Sunway's standard has dwindled drastically and that the exorbitant fees they charge are not justified. Apparently only a few of their lecturers are really good, eg Mrs Menon of P2. However I'm unable to substantiate any of these claims as I've never taken any papers there. So they're all just here-says to me. Its best for you to read through older posts here. You should be able gather the info you require.

F4- Ms. Puspha she is a lawyer previously and she is very good in her law. everything at her finger tips. tells story and give real life examples. but law is always boring you can fall asleep in her class.
F6- Ms. Joyce she is a very strict lect if you don't perform in progress test she will screw you up-side-down. this makes you really study for your tax and she will give surprise test. don't perform screw you again. she got lots of charts and makes tax easier if you listens and understands.
F8- Mr Ong he is good lect with lots of experience in auditing. Gives real life examples but he aims for passing students only. 50 marks is all he wants from students. he can teach you how to pass but not score.
F9- Ms. Joyce back to the same lecturer as F6
P1. P7- Mr. Goh very patient lecturer and good in his knowledge. teaches you exam techniques and guide you all the way, he is like a very loving father teaching students with love and care. lots of students like him.
P2- Ms. Menon come for her class no regrets.

Agree about Joyce. She's super strict though..But if you do all the class work etc then she won't target you. She's still teaching.

Ms Rozi also another strict one..not as strict as Joyce but in the end, she's a damn good lecturer for tax.

Patricia...Who's Patricia?? lol
