There’s a long thread here in which someone reported a similar issue [January 25, 2021 at 12:53 pm] https://opentuition.com/topic/march-2021-remote-exams-booking-window-opens-on-25-january/page/4
It seems it will be OK and the suggestion is to try looking at it with a different browser.
If you have concerns, you should contact ACCA directly https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us-student – follow the prompts to exams and “Session booking” – if your question is not answered in the information provided scroll down to “Do you need to contact us?” and select “yes” – your question should then be fielded to the appropriate department.
The current FA is no longer very relevant as it has next to no IFRS content. You need a good grasp of FR, though the question practice is mostly OT so not as independent as you need for DipIFR. You also need SBR topics like IAS 19 and IFRS 2. Most of all you need DIpIFR exam style and standard Q practice, which you won’t find in recent ACCA qualification exams, so I do invest in a revision kit.
Use all the relevant resources https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/dipifr-study-resources.html – but note that the past exams are NOT technically updated, so only use the most recent (which you will not find in a current edition revision kit). It’s important to have technically up-to-date question practice consistent with IFRS 18 (not IAS 1, which has been superseded in the exams).
I suggest you ask in the members’ forum https://opentuition.com/forum/qualified-members-forum
See the 3rd question in these FAQs https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/your-study-options/studyhub/faqs.html – there is a direct link you can try – if that doesn’t work and you’ve waited 5-7 days (I believe up to 10 days if you had to send payment rather than pay online), you will need to contact ACCA directly.
Go here https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us – select student – then Account access/management – then Option – Accessing myACCA issue. Read through the list of tips and advice – if you’ve tried everything and still have an issue – select the option at the bottom of the page to chat to an agent.
Do let us know when/how the matter is resolved.
You’re very welcome! It isn’t an issue I’ve seen reported before, but I’m sure it will be resolved.
Welcome to my forum! The essential difference is that the INT syllabus includes “The Audit of Performance Information in the Public Sectors” – see Chapter 31 of our notes https://opentuition.com/acca/aaa/acca-advanced-audit-and-assurance-aaa-notes – whereas the UK syllabus includes “Auditing aspects of insolvency” – see Chapter 32 of our notes.
These syllabus areas are covered in Chapter 20 in the respective courses in ACCA’s Study Hub.
There are two syllabus areas where the detail differs, but it honestly makes no difference exam Qs or what will get credited in the answers – ethics and auditor’s report. THe FRC Ethical Standard is only examinable in the UK – this is covered in s.7 of Ch3 in ACCA’s Study Hub. It provides extra detail that might be included in answering an ethics-related Q in the UK exam – but I’ve never seen it to be so significant as to be the difference between a pass and a fail (and I should know as a former AAA examiner).
The differences to the “standard” wording in the auditor’s report are highlighted in s.3.3 of Ch13 of the Study Hub.
If you go through this route https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us when you choose EPSM module topic under “Ethics modules” there is a link to “try our trouble shooting steps”. I that does not resolve, I suggest you try the “Do you want to chat with one of our agents?” option.
@OMUREMACHI – welcome to our forums – but you seem to have posted to an unrelated/random thread.
If you are looking for free MA resources, you will find OpenTuition’s here https://opentuition.com/acca/ma
This is a link to ACCA’s resources – https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f2.html – as well as the free specimen exams, there is a lot of question practice in the Study Hub (all free) and practice tests (at a modest cost).
I have been looking after this forum for 7 years and never seen such an issue posted. I think you need to consider what “success” would look like – hopefully you have copies of all you submitted so you are not having to reproduce from scratch – but if you do not and you are looking for reinstatement of what was deleted that may genuinely not be possible now. If you want an apology, presumably your PER supervisor would appreciate an apology also – as they too will have to sign off on everything again. Your chance of any success might be increased if your PER supervisor were to also make a complaint or at least document support for your complaint.
Welcome to our forums! ACCA no longer requires candidates to collect the 1 & 2 level certificates. FFA, FMA, FBT in the foundations qualification are the same as FA, MA, BT in the professional qualification. As it states here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/qualifications/glance/foundation-level/course-details.html
“ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4)
This more advanced qualification is broadly matched to a HND level or the first year of a degree programme or equivalent. It comprises three courses, and by completing these you will also be completing the Applied Knowledge level of the full ACCA Qualification:”There are 4 exam sessions – Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec – a candidate can enter a maximum of four exams in any one session – restricted to 8 in the calendar year.
So you can enter for TX and AA again in September – and up to two more – though I wouldn’t recommend that. That would be 4 taken in the calendar year – leaving a max of 4 different exams that could be taken in December – again, I don’t recommend (ever!)
@Chiggy21 – see here in ACCA’s EPSM Regulations and guidelines FAQs:
“You should NOT request for others to provide you with quiz or final assessment answers.”
As John Moffat previously advised you “Please do not simply type out a full question and expect to be provided with a full answer. You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is you are not clear about and I will explain.”
These look like homework or classwork assignments unrelated to the ACCA qualification – Q1 is not examinable and Q2/Q3 are not of a style or standard that would be found in AA or AAA – and OpenTuition does not offer to write answers to assignments.
Just to clarify re @Jen’s query on this 8 year old post – as explained in our notes MURCG can only ever be included in an auditor’s report when there is adequate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements
Chat doesn’t understand the nuances of the language – the Q says “have to [do something]” … The organisation doesn’t have to do anything until it makes a choice. The kit may have mistakes – but you shouldn’t rely on chat – our tutor is here to help you https://opentuition.com/forum/ask-acca-tutor-forums/ask-the-tutor-acca-bt
I believe if you were to work through the quizzes and Q practice in the BT Study Hub, you should find that answers are justified.
The Study Hub in its entirety is available to all students through MyACCA – it is helpful because students studying for later exams may wish to refer to material for earlier exams.
@Khaira – I am sure the answer will be yes – but please ask the RELEVANT tutor – in this case the FR tutor (this is a general “admin” forum)
I suggest you refer to the OBU forum https://opentuition.com/forum/obu-forums
ACCA has launched a tool to answer such questions. Please see https://opentuition.com/topic/acca-new-qualification-transition-tool
This is all the publicly available information at this time: https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/campaigns/accountancy-redefined/future-acca-qualification.html
