anyone taking P1 with low chin ann b4 this ? how's it ?

any comment on Philip Woo's teaching style? will u feel bored in his class? im scared of having long hours class.
Sheila vs Philip , who would u recommend?
there's so much difference between fees of ksa n mcO . 1110 vs 780 .

About P2 , Keith Farmer or Joe Fang ?

anyone attended Joe Fang's P2 class ? is his teaching style same as F7?
does he put more emphasis on standards and theory ?

Besides , does P1 similar to audit paper? is it studying with audit lecturer will be better ?

im wondering if Philip Woo can finish the syllabus of P1? can he cover everything ?

Besides , any student from Joe Fang P2 ? Did he put more emphasis on standards? any comment ? i need to make a final decision by tomolo as im going to register tomolo .

i would like to ask those who attended philip woo's P1 class before , will he finish everything in syllabus? as i heard from " someone " that he won't teach everything in syllabus ...

thanks a bunch =]

i remember what philip woo said about the differences between degree graduates and ACCA graduates during P1 class.

according to him , degree holder gained knowledge throughout his/her studies , they will do research on a topic , as well as assignments . therefore, it's true to be said that they're knowledgeable . however , they are lack of skills in working place , which is quite true. they may not be able to apply what they learned in working .

While on the other hand , ACCA graduates are trained to work . what we're learning now will prepare us to apply it in working . ACCA graduates are independent and able to work by himself / herself . Some ACCA graduates may not be as knowledgeable as degree holder , but it may not true for some diligent students who always do research on studies .

anyway , there's pros and cons in everything , right ?

you're right
however , whether it's better to do ACCA or degree , it really depends on you . it depends on your attitude towards studies .
IMHO, u should think properly of your ability before making a decision as once u step in ACCA world , u should be able to finish all papers . you will get nothing if u're stucking in the middle and give up finally .

hahaha .. Vpic , why did u say so ? then do u think you're capable of working ?
it's impossible than one can pass by luck in every paper right ? if yes then what's the purpose of exam ? merely a "luck contest "?

you're taking full time class ?
Do u know whether Keith will teach all standards we learned in F7 ?

i think so, it's actually quite manageable. i only find myself with time constraint problems..

i treat the convertible debt the same way as you.. Hopefully we're correct

i'm kinda worried of P2..

To those taking P2 this round, did u all study accounting framework? i've no confidence in this paper..

yea.. i think P1 is still ok for me.. My biggest problem is in P2.. i'm really scared i forgot all standards during exam..
did u all study areas which are not popular like agriculture?

Remuneration committee - 100% NEDs
Nomination Committee - majority of NEDs
Audit Committee - 100% NEDs. at least 3 members, at least one should hv recent and relevant financial experience.

For ethics, i think u can put more attention on AAA model and tucker's model since there's an article on this topic, then u can cover areas like deontological , consequentialist..

There's an article on comply or explain, so make sure u know what's it. and the differences between principles based and rules based.

Goodluck to everyone

is P1 very tough today? i think it's still ok =)

for the framework to assess risk in ques 1, i really hv no idea and i'm wondering whether it is the kennedy risk's model?
but at last i just write mendelow since the upper part of the ques relates to stakeholder.. then i was trying hard to relate mendelow matrix to risk.. hahaha.. but i guess it's wrong lar..

it's quite surprising that the AAA and Tucker's model didnt come out since every lecturer was spotting hard on it.

Overall, i think it's quite oklarr if you're prepared well.

instead, i'm worried of P2 tomorrow..

ermm.. is it AAA and tucker's model? i also not very sure..

i wrote about the ethical absolutism and relativism.. not sure whether it's right..

I need help on P2.. is it we need to explain accounting treatment as if writing out everything in standard? and for ques1 consol, do we need to explain treatment for each additional information given?

Q1 consol, ok-ok but i couldn't get it balance.. i just try to do all adjustment and give explanation.. then part c in Q1, i just crapped.. using abit knowledge from P1.. heee..

Q2, the 11marks allocated for operating segments really killed.. i read this topic once.. so i just crapped.. then the part b was still ok..

Q3, it's kinda difficult and confusing.. i run out of time so i left the last small part blank..

Hopefully i can pass... and so do everyone who's taking P2.. say goodbye to financial accounting.. heee
