    Of course they are stealing our money, ACCA is the only institution that doesn’t return student exams and now with computer based they found the opportunity to cancel off any chance of it.
    The market is already saturated of accountants, perhaps that is how they can stop new entrants by cutting the dream out of our misery. BPP revision kit doesn’t reflect the knowledge required to sit such an exam, now tell me why?
    But after all I am really grateful to Open tuition which was brilliant , Sir John Moffat is amazing, it was great pleasure to watch his videos, proper lecture nothing like most of the other providers usually do! READING ALOUD TO US…
    Just considering change into AAT or Cima too much “bs”. We give everything into it whilst they are there laughing through their teeth.

    Well March last year was 38%, I would assume it will be around there or lower as the overall students feedback not being optimistic.
    FLORALIN, don’t give up! Acca is hard everyone knows it and that is the beauty of it, I have failed F6 paper twice before pass and found the tax paper a lot drier.
    I hope you did enough to get good marks but if not just carry on studying . The performance management skills is mandatory requirements to pursue a good position on the career ladder.

    I am very frustrated with the exam, that question was something I have studied very hard, but as we have had a sepultura cover live since the beginning until the end of the exam on top of our heads, you could think clearly, put whatever.

    Anyway despite the joke and not knowing the results, I am immensely grateful for open tuition in particular to Sir John Moffat for all the content available to all of us students.

    Many thanks

    That was it, Q41 ACCA is a machine of making money, in the short-term how profitable is the association doing. Sometime ago they realised that there were some non financial performance measures that would help boosting their pot. The association realised that for playing with people’s misery, failing candidates at the least once per paper and simply making the exam unattainable it would keep their pockets laughing through their teeth…..

    Did anyone get this question done?

    Hi colinjsweetman

    Luck you! It was pretty bad that we got ACCA’S earplugs as a souvenir.

    To be fair the exam itself wasn’t the hardest one, I found F6 a tougher paper.
    The only problem was at the exam venue (WHICH BY THE WAY YOU SHOULD AVOID TO SIT ANY EXAM THERE= ACCA – Kensington & Chelsea College (N909) Kensington & Chelsea College Wornington Road London W10 5QQ) was that a gang of anarchist teenagers started to play drums and bass on the floor above our heads. I feel sorry for the other students in the room that didn’t stand up against it,perhaps they were terrified about the exam itself. The discussion questions were really impossible to think through because of the noise, after much dedication and money spent on the exam and subscription, it is really a joke the only place available to sit a exam is a noisy squat. I would expect more from “ACCA”, really thinking about changing to ACA. So disrespectful!

    I think that the calculation was regarding the parent not the sub. Current capital losses within the group are only to be surrendered if falls on the same accounting period, if sub had a b/f loss then capital losse are not available for group relief, hence it would be possible to transfer the parent’s gain to the sub

    Hey Gert,

    Would you remember the context of the question? that was a lot capital gains questions, although not testing the depth of the capital gains reliefs which was quite odd…

    I also hope you flagged the £500k AIA whilst calculating the capital allowance.
    Right with regards to the group loss relief, according to the 75% group relief only two out of the three would surrender their losses to the claimant ( The parent)
    There was a little table at the end of the question with the first subsidiary which it was very straight forward given the same 12 months accounting period so just deduct from the parent’s profits the second sub had two figures that needed to be apportioned and deducted
    I did compare the lowest of parent and sub. That question was very interesting, a lot going on, I hope you did well …
