I checked the ACCA website for the latest Student Accountant Technical Articles, but there aren’t any for f5 for the December 2013 sitting… is this normal? Are there only articles for selected exam papers and not all papers?
Articles are not written for specific sittings. Generally (but not always) the examining team will write an article if a major new topic is introduced into the syllabus. All articles over the last few years are worth reading.
