Ask the Tutor ACCA MA
About Variances
9y ago#1ACCA exams never ever require the double entries for variances - it is not in the syllabus.
What is asked is the calculation of the variances, not the double entries nor the t-accounts.
So when we will learn to close variances and make double entries of it..?in Paper F5?
9y ago#3Never!
It is just not in the ACCA syllabus.
(It is rarely relevant in practice either - the variances are usually calculated on a computer (using a spreadsheet). There is no requirement and no need for t-accounts - people stopped using them for variance analysis well over 20 years ago. It would be a complete waster of time. :-) )
Thank you so much..
