Hi,
My first research report unfortunately ‘failed to achieve a pass’ (I love how they word that), and in my feedback it refers to my use of PEST and SWOT analysis. It says ‘these were only briefly alluded to in the main body of your RAP but were shown in more detail in the appendix. The appendix was over your word count hence these could not be used to assess whether you have undertaken a pass standard evaluation and analysis’.
But in the information pack it says that the appendices shouldn’t be included in your word count, so I’m slightly confused as to whether I have misunderstood the use of an appendix or whether the markers comment is contradictory to the information pack?
I’m assuming it’s the former, as the report appears to have been checked by a moderator and I have full faith in the marker, however I was wondering if someone would be able to either clarify this for me or point me in the right direction of where I can get clarification?
I have spoken to my mentor however he is also unsure, although he’s going to find out if he can get more information (he’s a colleague and I’m his first mentee).
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
It’s dependent on the centre you select when booking your exam – in the UK there are lots of different centres hosting the same ACCA exams.
Hi,
I believe both of those dates would result in the same notification deadline and registration date.
The notification deadline is 30 days from the end of the calendar month in which the turnover limit is exceeded – so in the case of both of your dates this would appear to be 2nd March although I’m not 100% sure how that would work with February only being 28 or 29 days long? So say the registration limit is exceeded sometime March, HMRC must be notified by the 30th April regardless of the specific day in which the limit was breached.
Registration is effective from the end of the following calendar month regardless of when HMRC is notified within those 30 days, so the date of registration is the same as the deadline for notification.
I think this is right – please someone correct me if it’s not! And I hope it helps.
