actually i dun really lik calculation since im suck in my accounting..

on the other hand, i dun hav interest in taxation..it's kinda boring subject.. it's more on theoretical based rather than calculation..

i like finance.. coz i plan to work in banking and finance field..
as i know.. p4 is focus on finance.. and it more on calculation rite..
i really doubt myself in calculation.. tat's y i am very confuse to choose in between p4 and p6..

must submit before the 31st of dec.

if you have any experience (unless you have completed all 16 str), and you did not transfer to tdm, all previous experience is consider void.

Almost complete duration period but not yet completing all the papers.. still have a few more papers to go.

yes..it is a must..


in fact,both are equally hard to pass..coz p4 now is getting more depth as some of the section oledi transfer to the lower level..

if u like finance,then go ahead to study lo..

even i said like that,i dont think tax is boring..hehe..in fact i think is very interesting..

about the weigh of theory and calc i believe when u reach prof level,both papers carry the similar weigh..

Wow, so young can claim membership already !! Envy !!

Wan to ask,so can ONE TIME claim for 3 years experience ? (if work in different company )

Since u are more interest in finance, you go ahead for P4 lah. But I prefer you take P6 also even you are not interested, cos Tax is very good and help u in future when u go to work in any industry.

But you must remember for all the Prof level paper, there is no the story for focus on calcullation or theory.

For eg P6, examiner can ask you to give advise on tax planning based on the senario. So beside write the theory, you also need to come out some calculation to support you advise.

Application is more important in all the prof level paper. Even in P4, the calculation is just a supporting for your application and not main answer. The question in P4 is very practical, if you don't know how to apply, you will fail in tis paper oso.

So, my advise is choose paper based on your interest, not based on calculation or theory.

not young T__T got a few papers left somemore.. haha. Looks like i'll slowly update the PER then...

P4 also won't involve much calculation. The question in this paper is more practical than previous sitting.

Both P4 and P6 also, examiner will test you on Level 2 and Level 3 question, means ask you to apply, argue or analysis with your knowledge of that paper. You will see a lot of discuss, describe, identify, explain, assess and etc in the question.

So always remember calculation or memorise theory is not so important in any prof level paper. You can't learn theory by hard or practice calculation by hard in all this paper.

saw KSA timetable, too bad P2 & P3 mainly on weekday evening class..
normally take me 1 hour travel from klang to kl, after my working hour 6pm might only reach KL on 7pm (without any stuck in traffic)... it's killing me....

might no choice to choose sunway in this case...

any1 here know fees for P2 in sunway?

need to confirm,

inorder to able to be an accountant that can sign*

aside from taking ACCA..wat else need to complete?


anyone heard MIA give practical training with allowance in overseas?

Is Choong Kwai Fatt still at SEGi?

Yes, he is still at SEGi, but he didn't run normal class for June 2008. For IRC, he waiting for ppl request. If more ppl, then he will be back to teach.

The last sitting of this year which means December 2007, one of the question of paper 9 taxation has been left out!!???
Real Property Gain Tax (RPGT) this is the most easier question we could scored high mark! And in ACCA too.
Will RPGT disappear in ACCA also?

yup.. in between finance and tax.. i will be more interested in finance.. coz tax involved a lot of memorising those tax law and rules which will make me

tax is very helpful in future when i work in any industry?? I thought it would be more applicable when working in tax consultation firm only.. haha.. im wrong actually..

according to my lecturer, p4 involved 80% calculation and 20% theory.. this ratio make me so scare coz im not that super good in calculation..

but when i take a look at p4 pilot paper.. there's almost 50% calculation and 50% theory.. which is the same for p6 as well..

so now my final decision is taking p4.. hope i will not regret and able to manage to pass this paper..
