Hi All,

I felt that was a reasonable paper than compared to June 14. Again I was very time pressured and agree with some comments regarding weighting on certain parts of the question.

Q1) part (a) I got carried away and wrote the best part of two and a half sides and realised only worth 9 marks.

Part (b) that was slightly confusing especially for 14 marks I just used mendelow for each stakeholder and then explained a couple of points.

Part (c) on benchmarking was quite nice and the number of calculations.

Question 2 on NFPO when looking at the requirements seemed quite nice but when writing up answer was slightly stuck for ideas.

Part (b) for 12 marks I explained VFM then did some indicators and then put them into categories using the EEE, hope that is ok.

I attempted question 4 on corporate failure and revised this topic quite well. In the past he has provided so much in the scenario but this time literally a couple of paragraphs and 2 near identical formulas to analyse.

I feel that this scenario did have much to help us answer the requirements and they were vague when asked. Did anyone else think that also?

All in all better than the last couple of sitting BUT still time pressured and use of requirements need to be more clearly defined as most students will be open to various methods of interpretation.

It does seem to be mystery, I have called the ACCA and their response was that when the Examination Dockets are released that’s when students will know.
