@Trephena

Mine is about SLS, since its uploaded separately, do we include a title page as well with our names and ACCA numbers? If yes does it count towards the word count?

thanks

@ Fatema thanks for those questions i don’t need to ask again..

Hello

Could you please advise how many slots available on the OBU website that can take uploads?
what i mean is whats the maximum number of files that can be uploaded on the OBU website please for example If you have files like; RAP, SLS, PRESENTATION SLIDES, EXCEL and 2 PDFs(being financial statements for the two companies). Can all those be uploaded?

@TREPHENA

i have tried all sorts but adobe can not let me copy and paste.
What i am going to do is print the statements and then scan them as PDFs for both company and Comparator. If say i did them in pdf format how can i go about with formulas in excel in ratio calculation?

Just a clarification please, my company year end is 31 march, so am i correct to start with FY 11/12 statements?

With the the SLS, do i need to repeat the 4 questions in my upload as this will count towards the word count?

@trephena.. thanks for that information really appreciate.

I have another problem and i hope this finds you well 🙂
My company’s and comparator statements are in a PDF format BUT a huge PDF file with CEO,CFO,AUDITOR REPORTS and statements commentary.

Now, I have adobe reader xi, i have tried to copy and paste those pages with the statements but it would not let me.

Is it allowed to attach the whole PDF file from the companies website into my appendices?

@Trephena

thanks for the good work

The company i want to work with on topic eight has the split of the statements between quarters and the end years.
I am not sure if the quarters are audited. Can i ignore the quarters statements and work with end of year figures you think?

Secondly is about excel,
Do i have to calculate my ratios for example profitability, investor ratios with excel? …and then the bit of showing the formula the basic excel i know the formula hides behind the figures…

Any suggestions on the best way to extract financial statements from company websites please in to my RAP … for both my company i want to analyse and the the comparator as they go along with the commentary.

I will be grateful

@trephena..

Thanks for the good work on here..

I have another issue.. i have just read your forum somewhere else and you talked about Excel calculations and extracting financial statements into excel.
I was thinking of copying and pasting those statements from annual reports straight into my WORD RAP document and doing the little calculations of the ratios in there too.
Is that an absolute fail??

Is it compulsory to use Excel for this purpose?

And also please, Appendices and references, can that not be one document titled RAP for uploading to OBU?

THANKS AGAIN

[lamech311]

@trephena… sorry about that. Are you a mentor yourself??

Thanks for that paragraph was really good.

I was thinking would it be wise to calculate ratios for the comparator and place them in my research and evaluation work without showing that company’s financial statements at all??

[lamech311]

Hello Guys…
Thanks for the good advise..
I am planning to attack topic 8 and submit my RAP this November 2014.
My question is, At what point do you bring in the comparator ie the company your bench-marking?
Do you have to write a literature review for that company bench marked company as well?

thanks
