Hello All,
Just sent my project last night! Feeling so relieved! I think it is fair to recognise Theprena for all the hard work she has put into this forum to help us with our project over the past few months. Theprena, without people like you that give one of the most precious things these days ( time) this forum and the great help would not exist! Thank you so much and God bless you. Just hope we will be all successful in Marsh! Till then, take care!
AmarainHi,
I have a very important question please!
If Ihave let’s say XYZ,2014 cited for the Fin Stat and then I am citing as well something from their website so again XYZ,2014. Am I right to cite “a” on the first and “b” on the second to distinguish them? Many thanks
AmarainHello,
If I want to reference something about the ratios that I have already mention in my PEST analysis how do I do it? Can I say: As mentioned in the PEST?.. how?
Thanks
AmarainHi,
Can I copy the same graphs I have in my RAP onto the presentation or do I have to do something different? Thanks
Regards
AmarainHi Threpena,
Hope you can help please.
1)Not sure if it is the stress but still unclear on how to reference a graph. Can I out at the botom (Source: Appendix 1) and that is?. An then when comenting the numbers I do not have to mention the source again (i.e.Appendix or FS)?2)Also, in the appendix do I have to put sources: (ABC, 2011, ABC,2012.. or ABC Financial statement 2011…)
3)If in my appendix I have copied the relevant figures from the FS,then I do not need to upload the relevant FS pages, is that correct? Otherwise it would take more than the 8 pages allowed.
Thanks a lot
AmarainHi,
Please help!!!! When calculating interest cover using the simple formula of operating profits/finance costs for one company I get a negative one because they had am lot of exceptional one off items so they made an adjustments. The other company uses underlying profits … If I have to compare pears with pears then I have to go with the negative one…the other option is starting from scratch on both companies and trying to calculate a underlying profit for both of them but that would take me ages!!! What can I do?many thanks! starting to panic!!!!
AmaranHi,
When calculating average receivables and parables one of my companies have a bank whereas the other doesn’t hence in the FS I have trade payables and amounts sue to ABC customers… shall I include both of these for the one that has the bank? Thanks

Hi,
I have read somewhere that if using CEO strategic report (from FS) can put CEO,2013 for instance. I though that when we are citing we have to use the author (a single person or a corporation). As financial statements are prepared by the “company” as such should not we use the company name when citing and then on the reference list specify the CEO, company or whatever? I’m confused!Thanks!Kind Regards
AmarainHello,
I want to paste my tables and graphs as pictures. Does this mean that I have to count the words first in order to comply with the required word count limit?
Many thanks
Kind Regards
AmarainHi trephena,
You are right! Sorry about that! Consequences of a very demanding job and long hours in the office! Many thanks for your answer and for your patience, God bless you!
AmarainHello All,
When applying PESTLE or 5 Forces for example, can I mention things that have happened for the past three years or only the final year of my analysis? Many thanks
AmarainHi Trephena,
hope you can help please. In Part 2, when explaining the ratios can I cite the same book e.g BPP as reference or should I use several books? In essence all books would say the say regarding what the ratios means but on the other hand having let’s say 10-12 ratios explained with the BPP next to it…does it look good? Many thanksKind Regards
AmarainPS: Sorry not sure if I’ve posted this in the right topic
Hi,
Hope you can help on the below please.
When doing the business models, e.g SWOT… do I just refer to the last year of the analysis as I believe this is an snapshot in time or do I have to mention what has happened in the past 3 years (analysis period)? Many thanks
AmarainI would recommend Kaplan for P6(although I have always studied with BPP). The book is very big and heavy but you have examples for everything and in plain english which helps. Good luck. I have Dec 13 material if you wish leave your e-mail and will pass it onto you. But remember that Taxaxion for June 14 will incorporate changes (not everything though!). Good luch
AmarainI did not see the 20% company to be a Consortia because from memory another company held 80% interest on it and should not be more than 75%… so just said those losses could not be relieved…anyway let’s hope God will help us to pass. Good luck to all!
I didn’t do Q5 but from memory was something about how much a couple could save in 6 years… then something about conditions for a furnished holiday property …don’t remember more…
When dealing with groups, deal first with gains groups and then with Loss groups. Therefore if you have capital and trade losses deal first with the capital one.
because Class 1 NIC is a tax the company pays and at the same time is an allowable deduction
I would say you consider those 36 months as deemed occupation so ignore it for letting…
Hi,
That depends…it you liked F6 defintely go for P6! I did P5 and was the first exam I have ever failed in ACCA. I passed on the second round. The content is not big and it is nice but the exams are getting very difficult. On the other hand P6 has a lot of rules to remember but if you like tax is a very nice paper to do. Good luck!
