Excuse me, I'm just wondering that since i'm going off to college soon, i'm going to take up accounting courses... i was just wondering did any of you have any knowledge on accounting before you took up the subject??

i have to admit i suck in accounts but i still want to take up accounting in college...is it still possible for me to be successful in the future and not regret my decision?

If in term 2 i want to change my subject in KSA.....meaning after results is out..Does KSA charge any fees for that? I guess going to repeat 2 papers la....As for this coming intake i will take F9,P1,P2........

The technique is very easy, just study hard June 1998 to Dec 2006 PYQ, then answer Q will not difficult.

For internal control, actually Philip mentioned different won't be much from F8, that's why he more concentrate in the Turnbull Report. For COSO, he also cover it but not too much. In the his set of Q & A, there is a question regarding the COSO, I think it should be sufficient for us to study and answer the COSO question.

According to ur comment about Parmindar teaching method for P1, I think the style was same as his P3 oso lah. I think Parmindar ok also lah for P1.

P2, some said Keith farmer good and same said Joe Fang ok. So I think I will choose Keith Farmer.

Don't worry, Philip can finish the syllabus for P1 on time and give test also to help student answer exam question. And his class actually is from 10am - 6pm, extra 1 hour every leason. After I see the time table, It is 2 more extra day (10am - 6pm) as compare to last sitting, I think that one is for him teach student answer the exam question.

So you no need to worry too much for attend his class.

P2, according to my friends, he is good in Consol and ok ok for standard. But I think I will go for Keith Farmer.

would like to ask, if i do not have any working experience..

do i still need to sumbit the annual return??

the submission of the annual return is it a must?

May I ask for the Oxford Brooke degree?

If I take this degree at Jan 08.

What is the OBU research and analysis project about?.. Is it compulsory or optional?

HIhi, happy new year for everyone!! New Sem starting! Gambateh!!

Wna ask anyone attend to Joe Fang P2 here? Wna ask the second week of Jan got class or not? From timetable only written K. Thx!

I need advice here,I'm going to take P2 and am normally a Sunway student.The problem is that I strongly dislike Menon's style of teaching since 2.5 with Sunway's signature overlong hours of classes (which I have little tolerance for) plus extra classes to finish the syllabus.Her style of teaching is like expecting 100% of the students are eager to get world prize, leaving less enthusiastic students (like me ) with difficulty to cope.I am more comfortable with essay papers than calculation based papers.I really get frustrated every time I attend her class.It really made my life miserable studying that subject, took me 3 tries to finally pass the paper and also affected my focus on other papers.

However,she's admittedly well versed with her stuff and often praised as a good teacher.Should I take the safe way and continue learning P2 from her since my fundamental knowledge from 2.5 was from her (although my foundation is still quite shaky)?Or should give Joe Fang from KSA a try?I'm afraid I can't follow his lectures since I came from Menon's school of teaching.All I need is to know enough to pass this dreadful paper once and for all, help please

Actually it is depend on individual lah! Some people feel that can take 4 papers study full time, but some ppl thing it is difficult to take 4 papers.

F5 to F7 will involve a lot of calculation. You need to spend a lot of time to practice the calculation. Beside calculation, you also can't skip theory cos no more optional question in this paper. ACCA know, last time a lot of candidates try to skip question on more theory and gain marks from calculation, so under new syllabus they don't allow student skip theory question.

For F8 Audit & Assurance, this is a killer paper in fundamental level. A lot of student die in this paper since Alan Lewin become examiner. You need to understand a lot of audit procedures for this paper. If I'm not mistake, the passing rate for this paper last time was a lowest in Part 2.

So it is very depend on individual. But for me, it is very hard for me to take 4 paper together even study full time. So may be u try 3 paper first lah if u thing u can't do it.

For lecturer notes, if you attend the class where he/she can provide you with good lecturer notes and teach you step by step to answer past year question, it should be enough for you study for ACCA exam. Text book may be only use for other reference purpose when u can't understand from lecturer notes.

For SEGi College, I think it is not a good choice for you cos only left Kwai Fatt in SEGi currently. A lot of ex-SEGi very good lecturer like Sheila, Vikness, Hannef already went to other college. So currently beside Kwai Fatt, I'm not sure other SEGi lecturer good or not. May be u can try my recommendation lecturers in below lah:-
F5 - Andrew Pang (Kasturi) , Chow Kim Tai (FTMS)
F6 - Alan Yeow (Kasturi), Siva Nair (FTMS) , Choong Kwai Fatt (SEGi, IRC only)
F7 - Keith Farmer (Kasturi), Joe Fang (Kasturi), Haneef (Mc Orange)
F8 - Philip Woo (Kasturi), Sheila (Mc Orange), Fung Chee Kang (FTMS)

Small mistake only, why u so take it so serious?

Which lecturer is better in teaching F7?

Keith Farmer (Kasturi),
Joe Fang (Kasturi), or
Haneef (Mc Orange)
Or other?
Please recommend, cos i wanted to start to attend class....

thank thank thankSSS~
