basically is juz a graph that shows all the activities in a company..
and there are 2 types of activities which is primary and supporting...the definition read urself..

and this framework is to use by a company to identify 'value activity' which is activity that create value to customer.

basically, the value can be differentiate to low price(low cost strategy) and quality(differentiation strategy) which encourage a customer to buy a product.

Other than that, we may used it in the review current position question, we use it to identify the linkages internally and externally(linkages network). and there may some advantage related to having robust linkages for eg strong linkage which supplier so the supplier will understand our company well and deliver the quality of material and send it timely.so we can hold lower lvl inventory and save cost...and etc..

for the implementation for service industry, actually not very clear about wat u asking about?
is which part of implementation??

Looks like HELP college also offering acca from next yr onwards!.. I guess ACCA is becoming more & more famous..Haha!!

McOrange's schedule is out. chow kim tai is lecturing for paper P5 next sem. everything else almost the same. Michael only coming for IRC next sitting.
Just wondering, is CKF lecturing for advance tax next sitting in segi?? what days are his classes normally..and the fees.

same same la~lets gambateh together la~~
for the F9 i saw ppl say is quite ok, how come u say u r doing very badly?

for the CMMI(5 lvl process), it is a model that use to design a software..
but now a days, it used to identify which lvl of a organization's process are..
for the detail at every lvl, i think u better look at the pilot paper Q3(if not mistaken) answer, its answer quite well, by read the answer is much more easy to understand than lookin at the text book..
*
was kinda sick on that day itself.. den college hall, blardy cold..

cant really answer some Q also.. nub =p

btw, jus a reminder for u coursemate, bring jacket, wear long sleeve shirts and long pants!

also, last but not least, bring only black pen, no blue pen is allowed!

jiaaa you!

and thanks for the advice on CMMI, will hav a look later!

Can use BLUE Pen to answer?? Coz arr~~ i personally dun like use black pen answer coz...the paper sheet alreadt black ..... so theform i fill in with black n answer with blue?? Can? will they mark my answer??  rclxub.gif

N for conso, joe fang ask us use black for the figure given n blue for the answer we do oo.... hmm.gif

n wna ask arr~~ can use short form for exam F7? like b/f, urp (unrealised profit) use nca for non current asset?? Can ?  icon_question.gif

N any tips for F7 to share or emphasis on f7?? Not so good....mark for correct figure right? n oni mark working if figure wrong....but seem like we need can balance it in exam oo... how??  blink.gif


Added on December 8, 2007, 3:20 pmI mean its like we never can balance the b/s in the exam.... some note dunno how to do n then sometime calculator press wrong.... tongue.gif  now my f7 revision is like doing auditing...do question while looking at the answer... hehe  blush.gif
*
ermm.. im not so sure bout that, but i think our exam entry slip, has stated th rules and regulations behind our details..

but i think, using black pen is gud...

bcuz even exams in coll, lecturers requested us to use black pen..

cuz it would be easier for them to see and mark..

on the contrary, CMMI is not a software design methodology. CMMI is a company assessment method to assess whether a company has what it takes to produce good software consistently.

---

Exam centers, at least Srisedaya and sunway are pretty cold, so some sweaters are advised.

---

hahaha, sunway pretty much screams about their 'successes' XD i guess the 'peer pressure' in sunway is much higher compared to outside.

bunch of nerds studying acca everyday, don't feel stress oso hard.

P1 on monday.. crap.
Anyone covered kaplan text alraedy?
*
got no kaplan text for P1, only P3..

but lecturer did photostat chapter 12-14 for us, for the professional ethics and i find it quite usefull..

i dun think so..
the P1 question is out of expectation...
but cannot very difficult, but the marks allocation maybe quite strange..
seems like a very simple question, but is allocation mark is very high, until i dun know how to get the marks as high as that..
*
gosh, part A seems to be quite easy.. but den for part B, its really killing me..
dun even know if i answered correctly.. answers are so subjective and mroe to application part..
Im not sure wit Section A, part d ques, jus wrote the blardy letter to get the 4 professional marks..
and then, for the importance of IC, is it the elements?
as for the 2nd part, improvement, is it ctrl procedures? I was quite blur, and i recommended to establish a risk management committee alsso an internal audit department.. with their roles in helping to improve..

QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ Dec 10 2007, 09:24 PM)
yeah, i think it's asking for TARA. i don't recalll any other risk treatment strategieis other than those.

yeah, I'm doing F7 2molo also, then subsequently P3 on wednesday.
quite a heavy week. For F7 I'm quite confident, having passed my internals with reasonably good scores.

As for P3...  god save me.
*
I did Q1,2 and 3..

Q2 part A.. i used TARA as well, remember seeing such question in Kaplan questions booklet.. but not sure if its right.. frens were saying its not TARA.. after hearing that, almost fainted..

as for part B, its the embedding risk management system rite??

and well, i personally gave up wit P2, gud luck all for tmr's exam!

*wondering how hard will it be for P3 paper.. when P1 is so difficult when we expected it to be the easiest*

haih.. had very bad stomach ache last nite for alsmost like 5 hours.. and couldnt study.. jus dunno why..

end up.. didnt get to study.. I actually planned to give up P2 already.. jus tot of givin it a try mayb.. but still, couldnt make it..

frens were saying even if u dun pass this sitting, ur marks will still appear on the transcript later on.. having an A (Absent) is better den having marks below 20 ba..

and FYI, my coll.. not much ppl came for P2.. i think most gave up wit it..

im kinda like.. struggling wit tmr's P3 now.. worried bout the questions..

P1, was more on application.. case study dat their gave.. is like non-related to questions.. 50/50 ba.. but i think im more to the failing side =p

Yes.. 100% exam based.. Feel free to ask question here.. Hope to see you joining this 'nice' course..  biggrin.gif

i think this p3 could swing either way. some of us would find it easy, some would find it hard.

me.
i found it hell.

2nd time in my entire acca exam life, other than 2.4, i had to write till the very last second. so unlike p1, f7, and f8 where i had 30-1 hour free time.

q1 was predictable, 50 marks,
20 marks on strength and weakness.
4 marks on no frills strategy
16 marks evaluation of no frill strategy.
10 marks, strategic actions to improve financial and operational issues.

q2, Project initiation document/business case. 15 marks
     Project managemetn 10 marks..

q3, pilot paper repeat.
primary activities of vc, 5 marks
downstream, 10 m
upstream 10m.
I wasn't expecting a total repeat of pilot paper, so it caught me totally off guard.

q4,
quality, 15 marks
six sigma, 10 marks.

----

sounds easy enough, eh? but strangely those 3 questions, especially q3/4, when u start doing, u'll just stone there for hours.

I did q2/q3.

all of u, what u all do?

I'm praying for a pass.
*
i did Q1, 3 and 4 ..

same as you, didnt expect to have a full queston same as the one for pilot paper.. was stunt when i saw..

and guess wad, i revised everything on pilot paper CEPT for that ques itself and wad? it CAME OUT!

god dam it.. it wasnt as easy.. and i found it quite difficult actually.

Q3 , I forgot its similar with pilot paper....

20 marks, I just  leave blank... Did not write anything...

Frankly, I did not do any revision for P3, but I still found it is approacable....

But, I think I  am more on the FAIL side la since I don't really put effort in this paper (only study like last few days)
*
hahaha.. im wit u, no worries =p

i put too much effort for F9 and P1 ... and lesser for P3.. gave up wit P2..

but still.. my F9 was quite sarks.. and P1.. got no idea wad is it gonna be..

P2, cfm dead... =x

haih.. cuz our coll.. has the privilege for us.. we had our internal exam in Sept, and it was a DISASTER..
so college came out with this idea where, if we students, get to pass the external exam..
we'll be granted a pass for our internal exam as well..
im smart now, next sitting onwards, i will only take 2 subs..
