Canada is a good option. You can get Canadian CPA using your ACCA membership. send me a message if you need more info. Also check out University of Regina..
Sir, another quick question on this.
Is it correct to use the four months forward rate to calculate the lock-in rate? I say this because i do recall the examiner noting on another question that we can assume the forward rate is equal to the spot rate at the date of transaction.
Does this makes sense?
Yes, I’ve made some notes, its so much to remember and so much rules! Thanks for the suggestion, definitely need to be a little harder on myself.
From what I have studied so far you never use the marginal rate to calculate corp tax liability – you only use the marginal relief formula i.e. providing the company is neither small nor large and is eligible for marginal relief.
The only time you use the marginal rate (21.25% F2014) is to show tax savings where the company gets a relief (perhaps group loss relief etc.) where they otherwise would have been taxed at the marginal rate.
Congrats Sir John.
Many thanks to you and the OT team for the support you provide us students.
Hi Everyone,
I am a finalist awaiting results aswell. I was playing around in myACCA and when I try to view the examination results and status report it says I have completed 0 out of 9 exams (section F) And under section B, I see the following:
Paper details Status Session
FA1 Recording Financial Transactions To be attempted
MA1 Management Information To be attempted
FA2 Maintaining Financial Records To be attempted
MA2 Managing Costs and Finance To be attempted
FAB Accountant in Business To be attempted
FMA Management Accounting To be attempted
FFA Financial Accounting To be attempted
FTX Foundations in Taxation To be attempted *
FAU Foundations in Audit To be attemptedDoes anyone else get the same or similar thing?
I felt like I was fighting a world war! My head went completely blank after reading Q1, I can still feel that headache. Now I feel like it was a waste taking time off from work to do all this studying. Worked hard and it doesn’t seem to be paying off…sometimes it easier to be a bum! I feel like giving up but I know its not in me to give up.
I am not a tutor but just to help out a fellow student:
I trade options during my spare time for my personal investments…this has helped me out with this area of the P4 syllabus
One quick way to remember is:
a call option – you want the price to go up…so exercise if price goes up
a put option – you want price to go down…so exercise if price goes down
Another suggestion is to consider maybe taking a break from sitting exams or as others suggest, sit one paper, and attempt the OBU RAP project to obtain the BSC degree. This year makes it my 7th year doing ACCA as well, however i have always done it parttime as I work fulltime and I do not sit exams every session as I get busy with job responsibilities.
I paused last session to attempt the OBU project and was successful so now I have something tangible to support my years of work experience.
All the best!
