Thanks @trephena for your prompt reply.
Actually i have written net debt/equity ratio(ND/E) as the heading and used the abbreviation only under that heading and nowhere else. Other places i have used net debt/equity.This is what i have written. I am sorry if it goes against the rules. Please give it a read and tell me what is it that i am lacking.
i spoke about enquiring with friends who took up research projects and what problems did they face and how they overcome it, so that i would be prepared to deal with those difficulties as they arise.(no medium of communication specified)
then about face-to-face meetings with mentor where discussions were in depth and clear. feedbacks through email and if those feedbacks are not clear, i would enquire with mentor in the next meeting or through phone call.
report prepared in understandable and professional manner to the users along with graphical representations which gives readers an idea of overall trend of different financial measures.Avoiding ambiguous statements that the users cannot understand.
presentation was face-to-face. aims to covers key points under each area that gives the users a glimpse of actual financial and business position of company in a clear and concise manner.
Is there any limit for the number of abbreviations that can be used. i used the following abbreviations. Emirates airlines – EK, cathay Pacific – CX, return on assets – ROA, operating profit magin – OPM, fixed asset turnover – FA
net debt/equity – ND/E and currency billion as bn and currency million as m.@amal3008 said:

i am sorry if this question is repeated.
What is the format for the file names? All i know is that name is not allowed and ACCA ID should be used. how about 12345678_RAP, 12345678_SLS, 12345678_PRESENTATION, etc
thanx a lot @trephena
But aircraft utilisation and asset turnover are efficiency ratios. Is there any alternative profitability ratio. I am using emirates airlines as main company and cathay as comparator.
For ratio analysis, i used operating profit margin, return on assets, fixed asset turnover, revenue per employee, current ratio, net debt/equity ratio and interest cover.
i am worried about ROA and fixed asset turnover. Both looks similar. should i go ahead with these or should i use some other ratio.
What are possible reasons for if revenue per employee fluctuates. For cathay pacific, there have protests from its employee over low pay and i used the dissatisfaction of employees as a reason, the protest also caused delays and flight cancellations. what other reasons can i include
this might seem a bit odd…. i am comparing emirates with cathay pacific. Can i use short forms for these companies like EA and CP or Emirates and Cathay. i have crossed the word limit and this modification will save me about 100 words.
Thanks a lot for your prompt advice. i will follow your advice and enquire with my mentor as well. However i found most of OT advices more useful than my mentor’s.
Also, my mentor insists me on using investor ratios, but i cant find any, since emirates airlines is not a listed company. is there any investor ratio that could be analysed well and does not include share price or number of shares.
if i dont use any investor ratio, will it affect my grade. i have already crossed the word limit and cant use any KPI (revenue passenger km, yield, etc) as well.
while doing analysis, debt (borrowing and lease liabilities) have increased but interest expense reduces. shouldnt interest expense be in line with debt, since bonds and loans will have interest liability.
To those who passed i need a small advice….
is it possible to clear P6 without attending the class…. by doing self-study and using kaplan books.If I am using a ratio from cashflow statement do i need to have an appendix for Cashflow statement like income statement and balance sheet.
For emirates, they experienced the threat of allegations from US carriers during the three years under analysis (march ’13 to march ’16). but in june ’16 the decision was in favour of emirates and hence it no longer becomes a threat. Should I include it as a threat ( since it was during analysis period) or i should just exclude??
can someone please advice appropriate comparator for Emirates Airlines. is cathay pacific apt for it
also the financial statements are presented differently. Emirates use total assets basis for presenting Statement of Financial Position and Cathay use net assets basis.
my main company is emirates… But is cathay pacific an apt competitor for emirates?? i have almost completed part 3 but it would be better to know now than later. It might be possible that i would fail for not choosing an appropriate competitor. most of my friends compare emirates with singapore… but i want to choose something different to avoid the possibility that our projects might turn similar or even plagiarised
i chose emirates airlines andthey have some interim facts and figures. is it possible to use these for the report. There are also newspaper articles which talk about these figures.
Is it possible for to use competitor company with year end dec 2015 for main company with year end march 2016? it comes to 91 days
FIP module includes some 10-15 pages of reading and at the end there will be questions based on those 10 to 15 pages. You dont have to prepare for it separately. The reading material and questions are both available on FIP module link.
I’ve completed FiP and got 80%, but my exam status for FiP is still not updated. I have tried sending a mail to ACCA two days back and i didnt get any reply from them.
What if i tried to complete it again? And what if fail in FiP in the second attempt?
Is it possible to do ethics module without completing FiP.
Please help.
