      The lectures are not downloadable, sorry. It’s the only way we can keep the site free.

      You can watch them as often as you wish, so that’s the good news and, of course, you can always post questions on the Ask ACCA Tutor page and I shall get back to you

      Awesome. Did u ready the study text at all? I really want to sit P1 in March but I wasn’t sure if it would be possible to pass with such little study time (working full time) I live in Australia so I do not have access to lectures other than online.

        Hi Amanda,

        I purchased the Kaplan study text, but did not have the time to read or study it because I too work full time in an audit firm and was really busy with work. So my only option was open tuition. The open tuition notes were really helpful because they focus only on the important areas. I did P1 and P3 in December by studying only for one week and got through both the subjects thanks to open tuition. Hope this helped you.!!!

        and repeatedly reading the notes! And really, you should build in the time to read through past exam questions and answers

        And listen to the World news (on BBC if you can get it)

    Can i know any example to diffrentiate the accountability and responsibility in the concept of corporate governance?

      When my wife says that I am to be responsible for looking after meat whilst it is cooking. But I forget about it and it is burned / overcooked

      Then I am faced with being accountable to my wife in trying to explain to her how it could have happened

      Ok?

        So, that means responsibility is what you have to do while accountability is the explanation for what you did, right?

        That sounds to be a reasonable summary!

      I wouldn’t have thought that it was necessary. You say “useful” – yes, it could be useful – certainly not detrimental, Try reading a summary from the internet rather than wade through the whole report

    Hi I am currenlty looking in to the public sector for p1. Please could you let me know about the national goverment. Are they permenant employees who provide advice to the minister?

      October 19, 2015 at 2:20 pm

      That depends I believe in which jurisdiction that you live.

      In the UK, the members of parliament (the members of House of Commons together with the members of the House of Lords) comprise collectively the Government

      The members of the HOuse of Commons are elected by democratic vote whereas the members of the House of Lords are either there because of their family history (hereditary peers) or because they have been nominated and appointed to the position

      The Civil Service are employees and it is they that give advice to the ministers

      Does that answer you?

        Hii Daly

        I am also taking P1 in December the best way to pass is to revise the notes and practice questions eg past exam papers.

        i have done so for F8 and have passed. I hope it will also work for P1

      You seem to have become quite popular with your one week revision plan, would you care to share with the rest of us, I would like to know instead of emailing so the rest of us can use or would you prefer to email direct?

        This is what Aitul wrote!

        “i prepared for p1 just by watching this videos a week before the exam i didn鈥檛 touch any books or material on p1.”

        What more do you want from him?

      • shazia17 says

        November 2, 2015 at 8:32 am

        Hey everyone, I would like to add onto the above subject. Please bear in mind everyone is different, Aitul passed after only 1 week of studying and although his revision plan works for him, it may not be applicable for the rest of the students who probably would require more time, materials and preparation to be ready.

        Aitul, congratulations, I also passed on my first attempt, but again, I had to prepare for 4 weeks, reading online articles and listening to the lectures.

        Mr Mike, I would like to thank you, both P1 and P2 I listened to your lectures and passed 1st attempt, and I think it your teaching skills which enable a student to grasp the content and not only “read it off the book” as most students tend to do.

        For all those sitting in December, best of luck, make good use of your time now to avoid last minute rush and keep on supporting Open tuition, on behalf of all the students out there, we thank you for your help and support.

    I can’t believe someone asked “do Burkina Faso have telephones” .That is so rude and ignorant to think a country in Africa ,in this day and age,have no telephones.even if she didn’t mean to be rude it most definitely was ignorant of her.

      Do you not think that maybe she was trying for a bit of humour? It’s no more rude nor ignorant than people who have no idea where, for example, N’Djamena is. Do you know, without first looking it up?

    Hi … Thanks for the lectures and all hard work … Any ways ACCA exams are becoming very competitive now and watching the videos itself will not help to pass. Specially practical experience very much required in getting a proper understanding on these concepts

      Knowledge seeker is correct – this would be better posted in Ask the Tutor!

      The lectures are all relevant for June 2015 though not entirely complete – integrated reporting is not covered by a lecture but there’s a whole raft of interesting articles on the subject on the internet! Much of them are summarised within the chapter in the course notes

      Hope that helps
