    Indeed it was a nightmare. I had no idea what to include in the letter to shareholders. I only drafted the format to get some professional marks.

    I also felt like doing ques 4 but while writing, I could not find out what to write in part (B) as I already mentioned it all in part (a). That paper left me without words, literally.

    I then tried ques 3. Now it was asking to describe a framework to decide upon a dilemma. Sec (c) I think was asking to describe the steps in the framework. I went in with COSO framework but found that not all steps were relevant to the question. I this went for Tucker, but could not figure out neither how to apply it to the question. And above all, such a demanding section in the question which required to develop a framework was worth only 5 marks. I was disgusted.

    I am also pretty sure I will need to retry in March. I tried to complete the paper but in vain, left lots of blank spaces to fill before the bell rang, but had to submit like it was. Lack of time and confusing questions.

    Let’s wait for the results now.

    I think it was on writing a letter to explain the shareholders the importance of Corporate Governance in the case of the pharmaceutical company, or something like that

    Keep faith dear, forget about P1 and concentrate on F9. I also attempted P1 and absolutely agree with the points you mentioned. A complete disaster.

    But it’s over now. I attempted F6 today. Good luck for tomorrow.

    I agreed with you. I attempted question 4 and also find it very confusing. It left me fixing the paper for minutes without knowing where to start. Sec (a) and (b) were asking for the same thing. The paper was a nightmare 🙁
