Hi, my lecturer says that it is advisable to take P2 and P7 together, as the changes in standards can study simultaneously. But those who have taken P7...can please give feedback on how much of P2 is applicable in P7? around how many percentage?

The problem is, im taking P2 this sem, next sem only P7 maybe, but stds will continually change, not sure how much it will affect P7 in 1 sem..

Which study text do you think is best for ACCA? Seemingly popular one is BPP but what about IFP, Kaplan, Getthroughguide?

really?
at Sedaya, the invigilator only ask for desk number on question paper..^^

What is the difference between CIMA and ACCA? Statement of changes in equity what does it mean in real working life.

Is it Increase or decrease of Asset in the companY?

im selling off my old acca text books.
do ur thinks it's still applicable now?

details is on HERE.

CIMA is more orrientated in management accounting which constitutes a wider scope covered in F5 & P5 in ACCA. It is appropriate for students who are more interested in decision making aspects of accounting. The qualification was less recognised in many countries compared to ACCA but it covers more exposure than ACCA. It is deemed harder to pass CIMA as it was more "theory-orientated" than ACCA. Most accounting terminologies in ACCA was derived / "photo-copied" from CIMA. CIMA is more famous in UK compared to Malaysia as there are less CIMA students & tuition provider in Malaysia.

Regarding Statement of changes in equity, it shows the movement of capital / equity of company not assets. For example it shows increases / decreases in share capital & share premium which are probably affected by issue of shares or redemption of shares (shares buyback). In real life the equity portion is more relevant to shareholders who are more interested in the returns (dividends). The SCE shows the movement of equty which will probably affect the shares price, dividend, rifghts issue,.......etc.

Actually i also need recommendation on where to take CIMA?

you can find the exam schedule in acca website or student accountant..
normally will be the 1st and 2nd week of dec..

mayb you can try to find out in TARC?
i know some of my fren who took CIMA in tarc, they dun have much options outside unlike ACCA, so they just stick with TARC.

How much exemptions they give for ACCA students ?
Is there no other college in KL which offer CIMA ? (i heard about FTMS but unsure about its lecturers)

As I recall, CIMA gives ACCA exemption until their final level. Not sure, please check.

When ACCA result will released ?

August 18th

Usually for P7, one of the question from Sec B is applicable. But last sitting, June 2008 Exam never asked any questions from the standards (SecB).

I attended P2 (Keith Farmer) and P7 (Joey Wong; Revision: CK Fung) together in the previous sitting. It's easier to learn the standards once which applicable to both subjects.
