Help! If I have referenced articles on news sites – do i need to reference them as a newspaper article online i.e include the full date in my reference list or is it acceptable to treat it as a web page??
Hi, If I have retyped my financial statements do i have to attache PDF’s?
Will I fail if I do not attach any PDF’s?
I’m also hoping my employer will pay as it counts as two years worth it is actually not too expensive! My course has cost £575 for 3 meetings and actually they ‘aren’t allowed’ to even really help just point me to places and give ambiguous answers!
Hi All,
I haven’t read all of the comments above but I called the ACCA last week and asked this question and they said that completion of the RAP fulfils your VERIFIABLE CPD requirement for TWO years!
Hope this helps!
Hi, I have been struggling with the industries supplied.
How did everyone get on in the previous sitting?
Thanks
Hi, looking for a little advice!
Basically I was really enthusiastic about doing topic 2 and my tutor seemed really supportive of it at my first meeting – I had lots of ideas but needed some guidance on whether they addressed the topic but apparently she cant actually give me any help just point me in the direction of ‘helpful advice’. As such when I voiced my concerns I was greeted with ‘Fill in the template for topic 8 and see if you have any gaps or issues’ so basically she’s told me to do topic 8.
My employer also agreed to fund my course for doing topic 2 (or one considered useful to the business) so now doing topic 8 means I’m self funding.
Okay I took that on the chin given that I do not want to fail and I work full time with 2 young children under 5 so I have my hands full.
I have literally spent about 2 hours a night looking for companies and suitable competitors etc and I think I have found two but have the following issues.
The subject company is listed and the competitor is not – is this an issue given I wont be able to therefore compare the share price.
The competitor has a different year end (which I gather is not an issue) however the last set of accounts is for a longer period! – Is this a major issue given that ratio’s on the balance sheet show a point in time? Are profitability ratios still okay as they should average out still?
I have my second meeting on 15th March so I need to have made some decisions and put pen to paper in the next 6 days to supply my drafts of section 1 and 2 to my tutor 48 hours before.
I’m aware that the topic probably isn’t right for me but I’m worried it’s too late in the day to switch again given I put in lots of hours on topic 2 before it was rejected.
How did anyone who previously submitted do in the end? From the thread I understand people are having the same issues.
I’m also struggling with which research questions to choose given that I’m not really interested in the industries! – I know they limit the industries to make it more difficult but I do feel that it isn’t a good idea because there would probably be more enthusiastic students out there if they could choose something they were interested in. I love the topic area just not the sectors! I would much rather use players in the industry that I’m involved in for interest and development.
Thanks
