Hey guys!
Congrates on your achievement!
I am in the process of completing mine this year as well!
My boss keeps on asking what papers the company have to submit from his end for my PER!
And what information he will be asked?
Any ideas?
AppreciatingJanuary 7, 2013 at 5:18 am #56637I believe you receive the degree during the graduation cremony. The letter and transcripts are mailed prior to the event but after the results are issued.
January 6, 2013 at 5:05 am #56619The grades A, B and C are not based on your aggregate marks. Your class of degree is. The grades are based on the quality and quantity of your actual RAP.
December 4, 2012 at 6:23 am #105450I had emailed OB on the matter. This is the reply I received ‘
”I’m afraid that we cannot provide GPA and credit hours.”
”We don’t provide credit hour breakdowns.”My Mentor has told me that the RAP itself it 30 Credit Hours of a 360 Credit BSc.
November 30, 2012 at 7:40 pm #109258Isnt 5000 an opportunity cost? Considering that you can either rent the factory space and earn benefit or keep the equipment in it and product.
Also, What if the calculate required only year 0. In this case no matter what the discount factor the value would be 1.000.
What do you think imen!
Thanks for the reply.
November 5, 2012 at 5:34 am #105437CPA will require a course by course analysis of your educational degree. As OBU do not provide GPA or Credit Hour details, it might be difficult for you to get in. From 2012 most of the states are not considering chartered accoutancty to be part of educational requriement.
The best thing you can do is apply for a pre-evaluation for $50. This report will provide you the details if you have sufficient credit hours for entry or not.
Good Luck
September 23, 2012 at 11:03 am #104888LOL! Really – Tallk about sheer luck!
You must have submitter review or something. Did they really just email you a pass without prior notification?
Amazed!
But Congrates!September 17, 2012 at 10:39 am #90304Depends on where you plan to reach and what you plan to do in future.
Both are not comparable. ACCA is a professional qualification, while Master is an academic. The entry requirement for ACCA is High School refering to the fact that it is nearly the same level as a bachelors.
If you can affford a master, you can do both. And both are beneficial. It how you use each of them for your future goals.

September 17, 2012 at 10:34 am #105014Dear,
It mostly depends on the univeristy you are applying and the program you are applying for.
In general, you cannot skip module of masters and attain a degree. Even even some univeristy allow you minor exemption (a paper or two) they will ensure that you are completing your masters in a minimum one year time frame.
Also, the rating of the university counts. Check out the global and regional rakings for distant learning before applying.
Personally, some of the university I applied to did not accept my ACCA as bachelors equivalent. They didnot consider it to be a degree. Some might, but apart from Oxford Brookes I have not seen any university accepting ACCA as an entry requirements.
Good Luck with your search.
August 29, 2012 at 1:34 pm #104732I know my post is a start of another topic, But this thread seems appropriate. I am recording my last three year experience in one go and wondering how I should i enter it in the MyExperience. My answers of 550 words to a single challenge questions seems very less for a 3year experience. And I am not sure what happens once my workplace mentor approves it. Can anybody give me an idea on how I will be recording my 3 year experience in the PER? Should I answer each PO 3 times for 3 years? Apprecaiting any replies.
June 11, 2012 at 4:20 pm #99465It’s appears that most of you had their own expectation of topics to be examined and are baising your opinion on if your expectations were fulfilled or not. Anything can be examined – whether you found it easy or difficult depends on your level of understanding of the exam topic area. It’s not the other way around!
July 14, 2011 at 1:10 am #85968Well, Practice PRactice is the best tip for P2.
The paper is a piece of cake if you understand the standards and get a griping of group accounting.
You can check out this Facebook page on materials for you P2. I hope it helps you out.

You have made a wise decision to start this early.

AshMay 19, 2011 at 11:38 am #68653Lol, Dear plen you have mentioned in you earlier post ‘here in Kuwait’.
Well, i have couple of friends doing ACCA from kuwait. Yes, I agree that most tutors here are not capable of teaching but then again, you cant judge until you yourself study from them. As more and more students here are doing ACCa they are getting the feel of teaching it out as well.
I know some friends who are attending classes with a tutor (and these guys have the same comments as yours) and one friend who studies from a qualified ACCA. Her tutor has a complete study plan handed out to her before the start of the session and she has mocks almost weekly which are marked and returned to her before the start of next topic. As per my friends comment her tutor is totally capable. So you see you do have options, U just have to look out and decide for yourself.
Nevertheless, I believe the first meeting with a tutor explains all about if the tutor is capable or not. The student just has to be wise enough to pick up on these vital points.
Goodluck with you attempts,
Regards
AshMay 18, 2011 at 7:59 am #68651TO be frank, plen it was mighty careless of you not to look into the information about your exam yourself. You can contact ACCA directly on any matters such as this, they are very helpful and swift in response.
Also, You cannot sit F5-F9 before clearing F1-F4. Just because your tutor is teaching a paper doesnt mean you have to study it as well. The basics of F5 are in F2 and F7 in F3. You need to have some info about law (F4) before sitting F8. Take it slow, LEarn and Get to know your qualification and then decide! After all that what professional qualification is all about.
Also, there are a number of people giving tuitions on ACCA in kuwait, you can look into that option as well. But nevertheless, the decision to sit the exam, choose which and PASS rest within you hand.
There is also an ACCA qualified giving 1 month – 1 week revision classes designed for students giving papers the second/third time or simply looking for a recap. The timing are designed according to your suitability. A friend of mine is attending P7 and P3 revision classes there. Its a one month plan for her for P3 and 1 Week plan for P7. You can only contact on recommendation basis. If it helps let me know and I will email you the contact details.

May 13, 2011 at 9:23 am #81710IT means that when you are calculating your taxable income for tax purpose, you cannot claim the amount of goodwilll amortised as laid off or compensated by taxation authority.
Taxation timing differences can be permanent or temporary. Temporary difference will give rise to either Deductable or taxable tempoorary difference. Deductable items will be, as the name suggest, not included in the calculation of current year while taxable will be included.
The reason of why this rule exist is also mentioned in IAS 12.
Hope this helps
May 13, 2011 at 9:14 am #72687Well,ISa 710 Comparative focuses on both these concepts and requires that comparative FIGURES comply in all material respect with identified financial reporting framework.
Caparative figures are categorised into two:
1. the corresponding FIGURES
2. the comparative FINANCIAL STATEMENTSnow the comparative financial statement is simple. If you had the opportunity to look at an original financial statements followings IFRS/IASs you will see that they show two set of data/figures. one relating to the current year and the other relating to prior year. Its the stantdard IAS 1 that requires previous year similar item amounts be shown in the current FS. On the other hand ISA 710 focus what auditor needs to check relating to current year figures compared to previous. They last year figures in the current year Financials are comparatives.And are only for comparison purpose only.
Corresponding figures
prior period information where amounts and other disclosures for the prior period are included as an integral part of the current period financial statements, and are intended to be read only in relation to the amounts and other disclosures relating to the current period. These are basically the info about last year in the DISCLOSURE AREA.hope this helps
May 3, 2011 at 7:29 pm #80460i THINK Its best if you would write the full form of the abbreviation that you plan to use and then write the abbreviation in bracket next to it in the first paragraph – whn you use that word the first time – the use the abbreviation anywhere forward in the answer.
The reason why most tutor will not recommend you to use abbreviation in exam is because the reader might not get what your abbreviation is refereing to.
My tutor for 2.1 once told me that i should not use B/W (between) in the exam paper as it seems a bit unprofessional to use such when writing an exam.
hope this helps

Ash123March 21, 2011 at 7:33 pm #80146Good luck with your attempt. It’s a very exciting paper. Also FTC will offer u more clear understanding and bpp will help u with writing skills. Try out student accountants article on certain theories. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
March 21, 2011 at 7:10 pm #80081Try books on financial analysis. I am also following a CMA book on financial analysis. It does help alot.
Regards
March 21, 2011 at 5:04 pm #80144We’ll, I can suggest you question practiCe. This will help u understand the application of theories. For my current p3 student, I go through the past paper question and we discuss the theory in general and then apply that theory to questions.
You can also make short list for some major theories such as porter’s five forces, strategic choices, cultural web, organisation configuration by mitzberg etc. You can also shortlist them through questions in kit And past papers.
Lastly, the good thing about p3 exam is that theories are not examinedin it’s individual context but through application. So your undrstanding is required more than framing of concept.Hope this helps you.

October 5, 2010 at 1:27 pm #68968yes, you are rite.
I accidently didnt focus on bank interest on the CR side and not on the DR side. I was actually deducting it, thats y my profit did not come up to be 23690.
A Tip: Cases like these try balancing the equation ASSET = CAPITAl + Liabiities.
I just took all the assets added them up and got a figure of 56690. So I added all your answer options with the capital and liabilities to see which balances up to be the same. And it was option A) only.
Try It!October 3, 2010 at 10:54 pm #68955You can search online and will get some materials.
October 3, 2010 at 10:49 pm #58942Check IAS 16 – Cost of Asset for details on this!
