    The currently relevant syllabus guide for Sept 2016-June 2017 states that section A2c from the former syllabus has been deleted.
    A2c was “Evaluate the impact to an organisation of a move beyond budgeting”.

    But the technical articles (TA) on the ACCA website still have a TA on Beyond Budgeting.

    Is this still an examinable topic or not?

    Also same exact thing with the Performance Prism, section E1d “Discuss and apply the Performance Prism”.

    Hi Sir,

    How do I get access to some of Shane Johnson (new examiner for P5) past questions for practice for Dec 2016 sitting?

    Thank you.

    Sir, Value-at-risk is not mentioned in the syllabus guide, was not in F5 but there is a section about it on a P5 TA “The risks of uncertainty – part 2” and the current BPP study text recommends this TA and it’s first part and specifically mentions Value-at-risk.

    Examinable topic?

    VAR is in the P4 syllabus. It is not mentioned in the P5 syllabus and I’m sure is not examinable there.

    Alright, let’s hope it’s not…

    I really don’t wanna get into it, got too many other topics I wanna get comfortable with.

    Hi

    Any reason why they got rid of Beyond Budgeting? It was such a big section before and relevant that I’m curious why.

    Regards

    Ed

    They have been worried about the P5 pass rate so perhaps it was removed to reduce the syllabus burden.

    What sort of question is that? Most things in the universe are not examinable.

    Look at the appropriate ACCA syllabus for details.
