I have passed all of the Advanced Papers and the other 8 Fundamental Papers.
This is my last paper which is ridiculous.
Passed with 69
Got one exam left having started with no exemptions. So strange I’ve managed to pass all the advanced level papers but not F9.
Fingers crossed for March.
I passed both APM and AAA, now and acca finalist.
Final push in December.
Keep going everyone !
Passed first time, now an acca finalist, final push in December ???
Keep going everyone
Oh yeah I talked about sub optimisation and short termism etc for financial Kpis.
Just didn’t recalculate ROCE
Consider data piling and the relevance and reliability of data etc. Time consuming to mine through it, subjective etc.
Everyone relax hopefully we all do well
Again as long as you can justify your points you should be okay.
They already focused on maximising profits with a heavy focus on dividends.
As they were looking to grow under new establishment into new markets, i ascertained that non accounting would be best to gain a competitive advantage in new markets
I believe they said KPIs for the three other areas of the balanced scorecard.
I suggested profit focused historically but used non accounting to enable them to innovate, which would help motivate staff as they would feel valued.
I suggested the company needs to be careful due to import costs legal costs through spillages, imports which would bed costly, extra transport costs etc. Lots to talk about as long as you could justify it.
I got the corporate failure calculation wrong but still in the Grey area so should get marks
I suggested using the SMART process along with financial and non financial targets, with financial and non financial reward systems.
Passed 2nd attempt with 54% having self taught it, massive mental barrier overcome. Onwards and upwards!
Never give up, if you want it enough it will happen!!
I failed with 45% first time without my extra time. Could sugarcoat it but wasn’t ready to pass obviously…. Time to go again!!
For audit risks I also spoke about how 10% of it belonged to a third party whose stock was imbedded in the warehouse. So there was a risk that inventory could get confused- thus the auditor would be unable to search the area of a third party without permission from them.
I passed with 60%- three weeks from actually receiving my notes. Tough exam but there is no substitute for hard work.
