Hi everyone,

I will be sitting for my first ACCA paper in Dec 08 ... Paper F7 (Malaysian variant).
Need some advice on whether I can use the BPP book for F7 UK or F7 Int.?
I realise that the standards covered in UK & Int. are different than Msia. So will it be useful to get them (UK or Int)?

I am asking this because so far I have only seen the BPP book for F7 UK and so I'm assuming that there isn't one for Msia.
Alternatively, what other books can I use for this paper.

FYI, I will be self-studying.
Thanks a heap. icon_rolleyes.gif

Technically you are sitting for variant paper not a stream paper (ie : tax & law). If you take different stream you must you use that stream text book.
In case of variant you won't find much different in content & syllabus but minor difference ($ = RM, Mr Smith = Encik Ali......)
Malaysia will be fully compliant with IFRS after 2012 & international variant will the best to follow (however if you pick other variant doesn't matter)

BPP only publish acca books in UK version / stream / variant since its a UK company. You won't find anyone printing malaysian acca textbook yet.
Don't worry just buy the book (it will be quite useful to familiarise yourself with the question style) However some question can be too realistic / too much application.
Kaplan book is another good alternative but BPP is more professional while kaplan is more student based.
You can buy those books through some acca tuition provider in KL (if you wish)

Topace111,

Thanks for the advice. I will get the BPP F7 book. Should I get the UK version or International version?
I have tried several MPH bookstores but they seem to be out of stock for F7 book. Any advice on where I can buy it?

I saw someone selling ACCA books in LYN (Angeline). Thinking of buying from her & she is also selling F7 Financial Reporting Standards For Malaysia (Jane Lazar) RM 75.00 - is this book worth buying (in addition to the BPP book).

Thanks again! icon_rolleyes.gif

If i am not mistaken you can buy them at centre provider at KL (if transport & location is not a problem)
Mcorange : sells BPP (its located near masjid jamek station : beside TM headquarters)
FTMS : possible BPP (opposite central market : between KFC & MCD)
KSA : possible kaplan (near Pasar Seni, at plaza nationwide 11th floor)

If you are looking for books on tax / law you can buy on your own (most examiners publish their own books : but mostly for tax like Chong Kwai Fatt & Richard Thornton (he is P6 examiner).
