      I would think you could given the very minor changes to the syllabus. However I would recommend you ask on the ask the tutor forum.

    Could you please explain why “responsible party” (elements of ass. engagement) is responsible for the assertions?

    Thank you!

      Please can you use the ask the tutor forum for technical questions. This space is just for comment. In short, because that is the meaning of responsible person …. they are responsible for whatever it is that needs assurance.

    Is the OECD and Corporate Governance the same thing?

    Log in to Reply
    • Kim Smith says

      June 4, 2021 at 7:28 am

      No – the OECD is an organisation http://www.oecd.org – the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance is just one of the thousands of its publications. The UK Code of Corporate Governance is one of many national codes – others can be found here https://ecgi.global/content/codes
      Only the UK Code is examinable in ACCA as an illustration. Please remember to ask questions on the forum – here is just for leaving a comment.

        Mr. Kim Smith in light of the new syllabus for September 2021 to June 2022 there was a new Section F included in which is on employability and technology skills will this be included in the lectures?

        Link to the latest ACCA syllabus – https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f8/syllabus-study-guide.html#

        @guanyu – please use the ask the tutor forum for future queries – these spaces are for comments. Updated notes will be published next week – see last chapter re employability and technology skills. These skills are demonstrated using past questions in the CBE Platform https://opentuition.com/acca/aa/acca-aa-revision-lectures

      Why not try and see how you get on? Certainly many students do not find it necessary to refer to a study text as well. Remember to use the practice questions at the end of each chapter and plan to sit at least one mock exam which you should find in an up-to-date revision kit. You must also refer to ACCA’s resources for CBE preparation which you will find here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f8.html

      Please use the appropriate forum to ask further questions (see below) – comments should be left here that relate to this lecture.

    Sir, If I have given the first five papers of ACCA, can I give my audit paper ( F8) before F6,F7? Will I face any problem ? Is F8 related to F6 or F7 in any way?

    • said1988 says

      December 24, 2019 at 12:22 pm

      The AA(F8) is more related to F4 paper, so I don’t think you will get in issues in passing F8 before doing F6 and F7.

      They don’t need updating – the syllabus is September 2019-June 2020. The referencing of “S/D19” will be changed to “M/J20” – that is all.
