I haven’t studied ACCA before, i hope to take the FAB, FMA FFA exam by using opentuiton and then move on to ACCA applied knowledge
Do you think that is possible or will i have to study FA1
This paper management accounting is the foundation for paper financial management and afterwards for advanced financial management. Could you please tell me whether we need a maths A level to be able to tackle the F.M and the A.F.M papers?
thanks for your response and wish you a very happy new year,
Our notes and lectures cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
You do need to buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers because they contain lots of exam standard questions for practice, and practice is vital to passing the exam.
Sir, if Financial statements for FA has to be produced in 1 yr time, why in other places I have read that LTD companies have to produce every 9 months, and if PLC, then 6 months ?
Also for the definition of Planning vs Decision making as per the notes, I could as well say “deciding how many staff will be required in the factory next year”, or “planning on what selling price to charge for a new product”. So I am seeing it difficult to find a difference here. Elaboration welcomed and appreciated.
Stock exchanges have their own rules about how often companies listed on their exchange have to issue profit statements. However this is not a legal requirement. In law companies have to produce full statements every 12 months.
The distinction between planning and decision making is not really important. However there is a distinction. If you intend to produce twice as many units then you need to plan to have twice as many workers and plan to buy twice as much material. As far as the selling price is concerned, you might choose to have a high selling price and make more profit per unit or you might choose to have a lower selling price in the hope of selling more units – that is a decision that needs to be made and is not something ‘forced’ on you.
Hi,
I was made redundant and I am now trying to change into accounting with no experience in finance.
I has been a long time since my uni. I feel rusty. Those lectures and materials are gold!
Thank you so much for your dedication! I am so grateful!
Hello Sir,
I have studied MA within one month by only following the lectures and notes from opentuition, and now I have passed by getting 79%.
Thank you very much for your support Sir.

Provided you fulfil the entry requirements for the ACCA Qualification then you do not need to take any exams prior to FAB, FMA, and FFA.
For more, please ask in the General ACCA Forum 🙂
Dear Mr Moffat,
This paper management accounting is the foundation for paper financial management and afterwards for advanced financial management. Could you please tell me whether we need a maths A level to be able to tackle the F.M and the A.F.M papers?
thanks for your response and wish you a very happy new year,

Only a small part of the syllabus for Paper MA is the foundation for Papers FM and AFM, most of it is the foundation for Papers PM and APM.
There is a fair amount of arithmetic involved, but you certainly do not need a maths A level.
Hello Mr. John and for all other friends on OpenTution:
By referring to only OT Notes, OT Lectures and Approved Exam Kit. Today passed MA…!
Hi Sir, Just curious. Can I pass Acca exams by studying on open tuition or do I need some other private assistance
Our notes and lectures cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
You do need to buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers because they contain lots of exam standard questions for practice, and practice is vital to passing the exam.

Thankyou sir,
I need more clarification about Ltd. Stock exchange are for Plc. Then why do Ltd need to produce in 9 months, if the law requirement is 12 months ?
They don’t have to produce in 9 months (and there is no relevance of either plc’s or ltd’s for Paper MA).
hlo sir
with the help of open tution i just passed with 92% in MA BT FMA thank you sir
That is great news – many congratulations 🙂
Hi! Is there any way that I could contact you? I would like to talk about FMA
You can ask questions in the MA Ask the Tutor Forum.

You must ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum – not as a comment on a lecture.
I can tutor you on sundays if you don’t mind.
Hi
I have Question I live in Sweden and I want to take the exam of ACCA F1 Where can I take the exam?
You need to check on the ACCA website (and the exam is called Paper BT, not F1).
Pls how do I download the lectures?
You can only watch the lectures online – that is the only way that we can keep this website free of charge.
(Even the companies that provide online lectures and charge for them do not allow them to be download 🙂 )
Oh thanks lol
You are welcome 🙂
