Morning Gillian,

I was wondering whether it is practical to conduct my full research using just the qualitative approach based on secondary data as the carillion is now in liquidation.

Many thanks for your continued support together with Trephena

Hi Trephena,

hope you’re well as always!

i need your guidance to know if am doing this right. I’ve developed the following objectives and questions.

Objectives

•The purpose of this is project is to establish what Corporate Governance code and
guidelines existed within Carillion PLC and the extent to which these were followed.

•The research will also analyse how such codes and guidelines were in line with the relevant country’s codes on Corporate Governance.

• The author will use this project to assess the extent to which corporate governance practices played a part in the downfall of the organisation.

• This project will also compare the effectiveness of Carillion’s corporate governance practices with its comparator, BB.

Questions

1.How effective were corporate governance arrangements with in Carillion?
2.What impact did Corporate governance have on the market, operating and financial performance of Carillion?
3.What corporate governance codes were adopted by Carillion?
4.How were the issues of Corporate Governance unfolded and what impart did they have on the organisation?
5.Did Carillion demonstrate better corporate governance practices than its comparator?
6.Who are the key stakeholders of Carillion?
7.What internal and external procedures are in place to evaluate Corporate governance performance within Carillion?

Would Balfour Beatty be a good comparator?

many thanks

Hi Trephena, hope you’re well.

I’ve been reading through the exemplars and I’ve noted that they are written in third person eg During the authors time as an ACCA…..

Should this be the case or am I equally fine using direct dialogue?

many thanks

[Frank]

many thanks for that

@ trephena,

Hi Trephena, I’ve been going through the forum to get an insight before i start writing anything and did realise from your chat to Alfred about T17, that you advised having done P1 or have the text to read.

I’ve not done any P level papers yet. if i have to read the old P1 notes (as the paper is changing this year), how much of the text do i need?

Any other prior advise you can suggest? am not used to writing reports tbh.

Many thanks

[Frank]

@trephena. thanks, i should now get my sleeves rolled! will keep you posted on how i progress.

Hi, all.

am planning on submitting this Nov and was wondering how much time is needed to comfortably complete this project. i was looking at spending 2 hrs a day 4 days a week. will this be enough?

am thinking of doing topic 17 as I’ve been following these forums and i think it’ll give me a good chance of getting a good grade.

Many thanks

[Frank]

Thanks for your replies.

@SalahUddin. Apart from SWOT, PEST and porter’s 5 forces is there anything else relevant to rap in p3

Many thanks

[Frank]

Could someone may be the obu forum modulator please help me with the above query
Please help am a bit confused
Many thanks

[Frank]

@flyshine, am sure i got the indicators, atleast am only loosing 3 marks, posibly will get 1.5 marks for some wording lol

[Frank]

just read some references and it was meant to be an emphasis of matter para. how many marks was that part again??

[Frank]

@tbm13 i think if i remember well, the auditors believed it was a going concern but with material uncertainity. my understanding was that the issue at hand was material enough so i thought it was best to modify the report but i may be wrong.

somehow i think it was meant to be an emphasis of matter.

[Frank]

i like reading thru these comments, they always give me a smile things like the examiner’s gift to us ..lol..

all in all i think this paper was fair and i really expect to pass. got in exam room late just before they started writing so didnt have reading time, but as soon as i saw qn 1 about payroll i started smiling. thanks Open tuition for your tips, they helped me much.

i managed to attempt all questions apart from qn 5 (a) which i think was 4 marks.

am sure its a pass for me, and hope you guys all pass.

[Frank]

could someone comment on how accurate the tips were please…
