i can see m and check boxhowever i still see email as students@acca
do u see members@acca?
Hi abbas, I am the same as you. I can see checkbox and ‘m’ but email still says student@
So I have the new checkbox for being excluded from the list of finalists and on the change password source code I have a membertype of M.
However, the email address I see on the ebusiness page still says Students@accaglobal.com.
So I don’t know what that means.
From previous sittings, what is the guarantee of a pass when the membertype is changed to ‘M’?
Has anyone ever had it changed to ‘M’ and failed?
I am in the UK and I am a finalist, waiting on P5 result.
I have checked ebusiness and I can see the checkbox for opting out of being on the finalist list and I also have a membertype of ‘M’ on the change password page.
I also have not completed all of my PER yet.
I hope this is good news!!
So I am a finalist but not sure what people mean by checking the ebusiness page. Can anyone provide the link and guide me through it a little?
I am a finalist in the UK and did not get the WCOA 18 email!
Guessing that might mean I didn’t pass?
Having said that, I would find it completely unprofessional of ACCA to send out emails that essentially confirmed a pass several days before the results are released.
I can’t imagine that ACCA would be that careless.
I guess you never know, but you’d think they would have processes that prevented that.
I think these were the questions. I may have missed part of Q3
1
i) current financial KPIs and balanced scorecard, correct the ROCE and give two indicators for three areas of balanced scorecard – customers, business processes and innovation & learning to address the challenges facing company
ii) customer surveys and issues with non-financial data
iii) Hopwood’s management styles and identify which the company is and suggest what they should potentially be
iv) HR systems, target setting and use of targets in appraisal systems2
a) Evaluate K Score as a measure for assessing corporate failure for company
b) calculate K score and state if company is in danger of corporate failure
c) financial and operating gearing for two companies – comment whether these are key calculations or not3
a) Evaluate improvements that could be achieved through BPR outlined in the question, especially in relation to the two key performance indicators set by suppliers
b) IT requirements to ensure meeting performance indicators
c) Ethical implications of continuing BPR for employees, suppliers and environmentI am interested in what others got for 3a.
Possible improvements from the BPR with specific attention to the two performance indicators set by customers – Low price to pass on to consumers and lead time and quality.
Did anyone find that it was potentially good but possibly not once you added shipping and import duty?
I said that the factory overheads were still to be incurred overall as only 50% of manufacturing was moving to an outsourced manufacturer, meaning they would still have to retain the factory and the cost would be absorbed in to the cost of the other 50% of swimwear and the cycling clothing.
But improvements were technically possible, but a more radical approach may be required.
I got 4.7 ish. Can’t remember exactly.
Pretty close though.
Grey area. Needing more detailed investigation.
Thanks for the reply. I was leaning to that myself, but I always worry incase I am missing the point. I am working on the basis that SFP is most likely, followed by SCF.
All the best with your exam.

The guy on the street told me. He looked reliable.HAHA. Love it! Well sounds legit to me!
I have sat this exam three times now and I keep failing.
I have no idea why. I have never struggled with any other ACCA exam like this one.
There must be something fundamental I am doing wrong but I have no idea what it is.
There were a few tricky parts, as you would expect, however overall there was a good range of questions and nothing horrible!
I am wrecked mentally after that.
Now I need to try and not have a meltdown in the next 6 weeks waiting on the results as it is my third attempt at p6.
I too got that structure C was a consortium because more than one company owned more than 75% of the shares combined, and each holding was more than 5%.
They owned 70% and 30% respectively.
Good shout on topics.
Been looking at the degrouping charge also.
All the best and hope you get that extra 1% this time!!!

I also gat 49 in June 🙁
I found section B harder this time.
I answered q3 and q4 and was happy to see due deligence, but then the way it was asked I am not sure I ve answered it correctly. I felt that everything I wanted to say was already included within the question.
I spent too much time on Q1 but overall i tried to put something in every part of the question but not sure if it will be enough to get me a pass.I felt the same. There were so many risks of material misstatement we could have been there forever. Hopefully the ones we did mention get us decent marks. It could be interpreted that this was a gift of a question are there were so many potential answers.
While I am glad to hear I am not alone in the time pressure situation, I also feel your pain.
The due diligence question was not like any I’d seen before in past papers. All past papers were asking for you to define due diligence and the benefits of it, but Q3 was not that.
It was wrapped in thoughts about groups, and ethics.
Let’s hope we are across the line and don’t need to go through that one again!
So this was a resit for me. I got 49% in June.
I have to say this exam is brutal! it is the time pressure. Maybe I’m slow at reading but time just slips away so easily.
How many of you actually finish all parts of the questions?
I answered Q3 and Q4 thoroughly.
Q1 Part a mostly and bits of part b. There was so much going on in this question!!!
Q2 bits of each section due to time.
