Confirmed recently – https://www.accaglobal.com/zm/en/student/acca-qual-student-journey/sa/news/additional-sessions.html

Four sittings per year piloted in larger markets from Sept 2015.

@Seagoat

I would scan all of the results on my phone, then bring them to this forum and sell to all who would pay cash 🙂

[Keith]

Leaks in ACCAs system not deliberate. They may be down to flawed design of ACCAs system, but the are not deliberate.

Attempts by students to access results before they are officially released ARE deliberate.

The links are not illegal, but students must make their own judgement whether following them to attempt to access results before they are officially released is something they should do.

@Alma

You’re right, of course. I could be anyone and no-one here should feel obliged to listen to anything I say.

I’m not talking about immorality or cheating.

But my initial question is valid – is attempting to access results before they are officially released (even if is proves to be impossible) show a lack of integrity? The very integrity that we are required to demonstrate as professional accountants?

[Keith]

@ilham

My apologies 🙂

[Keith]

@ilham

You are a man of wisdom and honour.

[Keith]

No, please continue with the aggressive responses @abdul. They reveal even more of your character.

I will refrain, as always, from making personal attacks.

[Keith]

Personally, I’d rather be a clown than lack integrity.

I guess that’s where we differ…

[Keith]

Wow! I appear to have touched a nerve.

The angry ranting of a guilty conscience.

you reckon this is a clue of pass/failure?

No, I reckon your lack of integrity is a clue of future failure 🙂

[Keith]

I’ve had to resort to doing some work to keep my mind occupied…

[Keith]

Loving your work @Sam123456789.

Good luck to you.

[Keith]

I aspire to be harsh but fair. But not like Hitler.

If we can also agree that you are wrong then that would be a healthy work environment.

I’m not looking for a healthy work environment – just absolute power 🙂

[Keith]

As I say to my staff every day at work – we can all express our opinions and debate the various merits, and then agree that I am right 🙂

[Keith]

@anjali18

What would ACCA be apologising to you about? You got your result when you were supposed to.

[Keith]

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make @ankali18. I will be waiting patiently for my email on the 8th and not trying to find a way to get the result early.

Are you saying if I do not approve of crime I should not read the newspaper?

[Keith]

@Seanan

Definite lack of integrity there – I may go as far as reporting it to the police 🙂

[Keith]

No – I mean to say I have been raised to judge what is right and wrong, but you must follow your own principles.

I think attempting to access results before they are officially released shows a lack of integrity. You seem to think it does not.

[Keith]

My personal integrity does not rely purely on what ACCA answers to your question.

I have been raised to judge what is right and wrong, but you must follow your own principles.

[Keith]

Are you saying that attempting to access results before they are officially released (even if is proves to be impossible) does not show a lack of integrity?

I am aware that there have been accidental system leaks in the past but that is a different matter to deliberately trying to gain access before the correct time.

Lack of integrity, lack of professionalism.

[Keith]

@Elia-Shar-eK

Either:
a) people are trying to gain early access to results and/or encouraging others to do so – lack of integrity
or
b) people are spreading and using these links even though they know leaks are not possible – lack of intelligence

Neither is particularly mature or professional.

This is wrong towards all of those just like me

In what way is this “wrong”?
You sat the exam; the exam has been marked; the results will be announced on the day that ACCA have always said they would be announced.

Why are you wasting time and worry trying to cheat the system when you know nothing will be certain before the 8th?

[Keith]

Quite right @P4.

One of the earliest things we learn as ACCA students is professional ethics – including integrity. I cannot see much integrity in attempting to access results before they are officially available or in encouraging others to do so.

Not a trait of a the mature professionals we aspire to be in my view…

[Keith]

I took the F4 CBE in December. Definitely NO typed answers.

See questions 46 to 50 here:

The real life CBE is structured just like that.
