i think the paper include is
F6,P6 = Income tax Act 1965 and others related law
F3,F7,P2 = FRS (Malaysia Accounting Standard)

and F4 i not sure, coz i exempted on that~

Does it mean exam paper will be exactly the same, just different countries variants will resulted in different answers since the standard applied vary among countries?


Added on March 30, 2008, 10:17 pmI come to serious about the matter after I heard from a friend that Singapore is not recognized Malaysian ACCA grad as par ACCA affiliates. And Malaysian ACCA grad will only be deemed as Part 2 ACCA level. mad.gif

Hence I wanna find out is there any difference to take ACCA at different countries (other than Law and Tax papers).

I din said cannot work in Singapore. Just ACCA complete will be deemed as Part 2 qualification(as what I heard, based on what reason I don't know). I also wish it would not be a fact, since I'm a Malaysian ACCA student too smile.gif

For what I get from the Orange International College's (formerly known as Mc Orange Institute) website, they do provide accomodation facilities. Actually I am also finding for accomodation over there. I sent them some queries by email but it shows error to me (perhaps they are having new email now? Really no ideas...).

I am going to further my ACCA on the incoming July at Kasturi and OIC. Am looking for accomodation since my hometown is not KL. If I studied at the mentioned institutes, where will be the recommended stay location for me?

Do you know that the prize winner from Sunway also appear in the Kasturi/MCO name list?

You said no many student go out for tuition? I tell you a story la! My friend in June 2005 attend the 3 core paper in Sunway, majority of his classmate paid 3 paper school fees but only attend 3.6, and go to Kasturi for additional tuition for 3.5 and 3.7.

And do you why Sunway and TARC student can get Kasturi student price for revision class? B'cos Andrew Pang know a lot of them will come to KL for additional tuition, especially for Professional Level paper.

I always put the priority on the quality lecturer. Study environment is not very important for me cos ACCA is external exam. We are ACCA student, but not Sunway, MCO or Kasturi student. All this college just provide us a tuition class, they nothing to do to our qualification.

For me, paid extra too much fees to enjoy the college life is waste. Some more, they fail to provide us with quality lecturer, so why we still want to paid too much?

Yes, agree with what you mentioned above. But curiousity come when Sunway students claimed that they have the advantages over others since they are produced by Sunway. With the Sunway's reputation, they are able to enter Big 4 easier than other institutes do, as Sunway having certain "relationship" with Big 4?

If I would like to take up to 4 papers in Part 2 in the incoming July, what would be the best combination? Or follow the sequence (F4, F5, F6, F7) is better?

I am kinda interested in investment. And currently studying ACCA, am I choosing the right path? For the higher level part of ACCA, does the syllabus included something like meta stock?

I am going to further my ACCA soon. Below are the research I have done between Sunway and Kasturi in terms of their fees (F4-F9).


Sunway:
F4, F5, F6, F8, F9 (RM1100 x 5) ---> RM5500
F7 ---> RM1300
=RM6800
+ Application Fee ---> RM 150
+ Registration Fee ---> RM 300
+ Library Deposit (Refundable) ---> RM 500
+ Student Resources Fee ---> RM 285
+ LAN Subject Fee ---> RM150
= Total RM8185


Kasturi:
F4-F9 (RM660 x 6) ---> RM3960
+ Revision Class (RM180 x 6) ---> RM1080
+ Registration Fee ---> RM50
=Total RM5090


I just feel I have mistakes from both the statements above. Hope someone may help to correct it and provide us with the accurate amount?

In Kasturi, if you register before the class start, you will get RM20 ringgit discount for each paper. Revision class already included in the normal class tuition fees, you are not required to pay any extra. You can take LAN subjects in Kasturi as well, only RM50 per subject and it is optional because ACCA students are not required to study those useless subject.
In Sunway, the student resource fee is RM285 each semester, therefore you have to multiple by two semester. For LAN subjects, there are malaysian study and moral study, therefore the fees will be RM300 in total. LAN subjects is compulsory in Sunway for CAT students and normally u can ponteng if you have friends help you to sign the attendance. You are only required to come during the presentation day.  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif ( I think you will lose this benefit if you took your LAN subjects in KSA).
Bellow are the correction I have made for you:
Sunway:
F4, F5, F6, F8, F9 (RM1100 x 5) ---> RM5500
F7 ---> RM1300                         
=RM6800
+ Application Fee ---> RM 150
+ Registration Fee ---> RM 300
+ Library Deposit (Refundable) ---> RM 500
+ Student Resources Fee ---> (RM 285 x 2) =RM570
+ LAN Subject Fee ---> (RM150 x 2) =RM300
= Total RM8620
Kasturi:
F4-F9 (RM640 x 6) ---> RM3840
+ Registration Fee ---> RM50
+ Reregistration fee    RM30
+ LAN Subject Fee ---> (RM50 x 2) =RM100
=Total RM4020
*
Yeah, thank you for the correction, it helps notworthy.gif Why must take LAN subjects? Does it makes any difference from taking it?

actually it's not compulsory to take LAN. if you register as a part time student, you do not need to comply with the LAN requirements. and i think LAN is a waste of time only.

But I am a full time student. So have to take LAN subjects?

VpIc, I am not quite understand with what you been said. When the time I am going to enrol with the institute, what should I fill up in the application form(full time? part time?) since I don't wanna take the LAN subjects?

Anyone from Kasturi Institute? I'm asking on my friend's behalf. She has enrolled for Kasturi and has paid the first term amount. But now she realized that she don't want to study at Kasturi. Since the funds paid are not refundable, she is thinking of whatever alternative that could reduces her losses on the fees paid. I'm suggest her to sell the subscription to others on a cheaper rate, say 20-30% off, however, I don't know whether this really helps. I saw some forumers here can sell their revision courses. I'm thinking of whether it could apply on ACCA courses as well?

Really needs someone who can provide some solution. She has paid RM860 for F4, F5, F6.


Your comments will be much appreciated. She is my best friend and I hope I can really release her worriness.

u can ask ur fren to go to kasturi & defer the fees to the next sitting instead.. means she can use the fees for other papers in kasturi for the next sitting.. but hv to pay administration fees of RM50(per paper i think).. my fren did tt for the 2nd term fees last sitting.. well, unless she doesn't plan to study in kasturi anymore in the future then there's no choice but to "sell it off"
hhmm.. but y she doesn't wanna take Viknes in kasturi for the F4 paper? he's the best lecturer for F4.. his classes r entertaining & his tips r quite accurate.. can nv go wrong under him unless u nv study..
*
Yupe, Viknes is such a famous lecturer in law paper. I heard that he has almost monopoly the market for F4, is it true? I wonder why he has such a big power. If my time is possible, I would definitely go to attend his class and find out the fact by myself.

That means when someone has paid for the tuition fees, it can still be "sell off" ie. transfer of ownership provided the courses haven't commence yet?

ehh.. forgive me.. i had the impression tt selling off is doing it privately without the college knowing.. which means the buyer will be attending class under ur fren's name until the end of 1st term  laugh.gif sry for the wrong interpretation.. i'm not sure bout the transfer of ownership.. coz under the T&C it says course fees r non transferable..
i think she shd call up kasturi & consult wif them directly bout the situation.. no. is 03-2032 3322/3001
well.. viknes's good in promoting himself... he often promotes himself in class.. haha jz joking... but seriously.. y i think he's such a good lecturer other than being knowledgeable in law is his passion in teaching his students.. whenever possible he really goes the extra mile for u.. he's always so worried coz we nv study & he'll start nagging us to study.. lol..

My friend get her refund already. She told me she went Kasturi the next day after she paid. After fill up a withdrawal form, then settle. The staffs are understanding without showing "black face" to her. I think she managed to get the refund due to the courses haven't commence yet.

WTA:

1. All SUC students are compulsory to take their ACCA exams under SUC or they can simply choose an exam centre wherever they want?

2. Each papers must be taken in Sunway or it may be allowed to do certain papers at Sunway while the rest taken at other institutes?

1. no need opt geh .. just choose the center urself when submit the form .. the margaret won't question you at all.
2. you are allowed to do other papers elsewhere 1 .. but then if all the while you are doing papers at sunway, the management might ask you why you intend to do it outside etc .. still you do have the right to choose wherever you wanna take other papers.
*
If the management ask me why I intend to do it outside, I'll tell them for my own convenience, eg. nearer to my hometown and so on... Is this kind of reason valid? I hope the management neither force nor persuade me to take it at SUC.

BTW, how about the characteristics of Mr Teo and Margaret from SUC? Did they fierce? Meet with Margaret before, maybe her pair of big eyes make me abit fear to face her laugh.gif
