    If the results will be out by 12 noon on April 18, am I right in saying we have to wait exactly 16 hours more? Good luck to all of us! 🙂

    Yep, waiting for F6 UK results. As I said, I really enjoyed preparing this paper (I am not even a UK taxpayer, lol) but I have mixed feelings about my performance…so far I have never failed any exams, that would be devastating… Sooo nervous 🙁

    I havnt failed either so i dont know why im so nervous-maybe because this is the end of it!

    Good luck with yours, you said you wanted to do p6 and p4 but i think to do this you have to do p1-3 first? If not apologies i just thought it was the case. Good luck either way

    Hello,

    I self studied all of professional with ot lectures and bpp practis kit. I found P6 okay with the practise kit but also bought the ebook bpp. It took me a month to read and write notes on this p6 study text but i knew it inside out and then practise to put it to real questions.

    I felt i knew it well but we shall see tonight!

    P4 and p6 for me. Dont usually get nervous but it being the final hurdle (per, ethics and 3 years working in field complete) im really nervous. Feel they went okay but you can never guess these exams!

    The maximum has not been updated- it is working on the old 2 sessions a year. You can sit 4 in any sitting and there are 4 sessions a year now. Making the maximum 16.

    They just havnt updated the maximum in the new subject. So yes you can, however to fail all 3 i doubt- have a little faith!

    I did it wrong too but will only be a couple of marks in hindsight i think it should pa=16.01 because it took it from npv -1.01 to 0 with 15 investment meaning 16.01 must have come into the project. And pe=15 i think.

    But hey ho as long as calculations are there they will allocate some marks. We will just lose those specifically for pe/pa which ever is wrong.

    No call because the contract was quoted in dollars and we were buying dollars. Selling euro. Call option

    For question one I did the benefit/fit matrix and identified it as a value trap. Despite obvious issues the md was saying it had benefit enough. The fit was obviously high as they were doing the same with same r and c and ten backed up my high benefit selection with a list of advantages:

    1)having contracts to fulfil with few staff and a2k had freelances advice that could help, well as the team it had already built.

    2)acquiring the e learning was motivational for ash tag and his team who felt unappreciated and for qtbsa as they wanted to go into this market.

    )3)they were acquiring a competitor and they market share shares would now be 60%+ (based on revenues given).

    4) a2k had fallen below the market f average of 10%NoP and qtbsa had ability to acquire and improve and it has done in the past to help a2k (it said benefits to both).

    5) that as there r n c was acquiring and was there previous strategy its was acceptable and feasible.

    That’s lol I got for 19 or 16 marks hoping for more than one one through application of model and use of financial.

    Was a long paper!

    I think it was 7 or 5 it was only a small part of question 2 b (I think) but I wrote about a page either way. I know its too much for 5 but I was compensating for a five marker I didn’t know!

    I know i think 5 would have done it for my p & l. I deliberately went back though and did first 3 items so they knew that I knew to pro rota the sub for 6/12. So hopefully I’d get that Mark even if I didn’t do the whole thing :/.

    The Examiners report act as analysis for past exam papers on how they should be attempted. As do the revision kits Mike recommends.

    Having dealing with it myself at work if I justified it, obviously counteracted it with the benefits of privatised pensions and better for state fund to be moved elsewhere which inevitably is where it’s going. Do you think I would lose marks by saying it’s burdensome for small accountancy practices to facilitate and for small businesses due to the paperwork and extra payroll expense? I have a preconceptions that they like you to say everything the tax authorities or accounting standards pass you should like. When the principle of auto enrolment is a good one the initial advice and process given by IAS, hmrc etc is very minimal and causes the administration problems putting alot of people who understand it off the idea!
