i thought is lack of Auditor...

both also same.

thanks for the info.
btw, which books are recommended for p1?

Hard to give u recommendation cos myself also don't use text book.

I normally read lecturer study notes cos in the class, Philip Woo already teach us more than what we need for the exam.

Both Kaplan and BPP also ACCA official text book, but for me, I only refer to it when I can't understand from lecturer notes. But if u still want to read text book, may be you can try Kaplan lah!

im wondering whether my notes and text book year 2004 will be useful for the current exam?

i got 3.2 advanced taxation and the 3 core papers.

oic... were you in phillip's class last year?

he is philip woo FANS.

i heard that philip is one of the marker of F8

P/S: 7 days left

u like to generalize?

Ya, I'm in his P1 class last sitting.

If u want to go to his class, u better start now cos he just start one month ago, I think you still can study own for the missing topic.

If u joint March, I think he already completed more than 75% for Corporate Governance. So better joint now lah!

Ha Ha Ha, I'm not just Philip Woo fans, but oso Parmindar, Kwai Fatt, Andrew Pang, Vikness and etc fans!

Added on February 11, 2008, 11:01 pmAfter u finish ur ACCA, u can do a lot of thing, so what purpose still want to go for further?

I'm a part time student since 1st day I study ACCA. Every time when I go to interview, they are more interesting on what I can contribute to their co and when I can finish ACCA.

If u not believe, u can refer to Jobstreet or The Star newspaper for job vacancy for accounts, finance, audit or tax. U will find that a lot of post just with ACCA + Related working experience (depend on level), then u will qualify to apply. Other high qualification just extra for them. If u got, then it is consider good lah, but if don't have also won't effect ur chance to get the post.

Actually what I mean was after finish ACCA, better go for work and don't continue full time study already. Cos when u finish ACCA, working experience will be more important than further qualification. But if u still interest for further study, then go for part time study lo!

to me it is always better to get more knowledge all around, like how many companies have to go bust before i get experienced? we learn thru experience right

So you will still continue full time study after finish ACCA?

Man, certificate just give u a short cut. That is no difference when u come to work if just with ACCA only or with ACCA, ICSA and MBA.

If you got ACCA then already more than enough. Knowledge u can learn from book, but practical experience only can from ur working.

But u are still interesting for further study or want to become lecturer, then I prefer you go for further study lo. But further study also, don't go for full time already.

And do u know that a lot of ppl without qulification also can earn higher than us?

P1 - Philip Woo (KSA) or Sheila (Mc Orange)

P2 - Keith Farmer (KSA) or Joe Fang (KSA) or Haneef (Mc Orange)

P3 - Parmindar (KSA)

If u want cheap, good and easy to manage time table, then go to KSA study 3 paper lo!

Hi guys! Just to check, anybody here taking P2 with keith farmer... I'm finding it a little difficutl to catch up with him these days... First two lectures were great. But now I find myself very blur and lost in his class. Thinking of switching lectures I wonder if any of you find it tough to follow him too or Is it just me ???


P/S : 5 more days to go! I almost forgot about my exam results. Haha I imagine it to be very dreadful anyhow

p1, if u plan to fully self study, this is what i suggest.
get lots of different notes and be prepared to read ALOT. textbooks and answer guides are guides, there's alot of variety and ways in questions for p1.

p2. good luck. seriously. I wonder how u plan to self study a lot of IAS/IFRS, but if ur familiar with ur accounts and the standards, i guess u should be alright

p3. well, pray that your logic is very good, (if not, build it up), be prepared to do alot of practice on ur own.

If u work for full time , then u dont need to take all 3 papers
u can choose to take one paper only.
Then u see and evaluate whether u can handle well or not if u take one paper

I plan to join P2 wit Yap at kolej bandar after the result, so may I (if there is a student here under Yap) know till date, which topic he's currently teaching?? is he already teach the consol or not yet??

My suggestion is better don't self study for the professional level paper.

Remember ACCA exam is not easy, you must know the exam technique and know wat the examiner require for the exam. Basically, I can said if u just study hard from text book, it is very hard to pass any paper in professional level.

Without lecturer guide, you won't be know wat the examiner want. ACCA is difference from degree course cos beside learn the theory by hard. you also must know how to apply it to the case/senario. All the question in professional paper are very practical.

I got some friend self study ACCA also, but when come to professional level paper, they also go to attend class.

But since you are not in KL, I think is hard to you to attend class also lah! May be u take one paper each sitting lo. But no matter how you better arrange some time to attend class lo. For eg, P1 - Philip Woo class will conduct on Sunday, but not every sunday, so may be you can arrange some time to attend his class.

I understand you as a full time worker, it is hard to manage time to attend. Myself also full time worker, but sometime no choice cos professional level paper not easy to pass.
