Corporate failure and reorganisation

MFMuslim Farooque9y ago
Sir i couldnt find a lecture of yours on this topic ;under which heading ican find it?

There isn't a lecture on corporate failure because it is not in the syllabus - it was removed several years ago!
MFMuslim Farooque9y ago#2
but sir in the syllabus for septemeber 2016 to march 2017 this is part of detailed syllabus? 2. Business re-organisation a) Recommend, with reasons, strategies for unbundling parts of a quoted company.[3] b) Evaluate the likely financial and other benefits of unbundling.[3] c) Advise on the financial issues relating to a management buy-out and buy-in

I know the detailed syllabus, and there is nothing about corporate failure!! (There used to be, but it was removed several years ago and is now only asked in Paper P5). With regard to the areas that are listed under the heading "Business re-organisation" - no, there is no lecture (and there won't be), but there is a chapter in the lecture notes.

I am puzzled what you are using for studying. If you are using a Study Text then it must be from one of the ACCA approved publishers, and must be a current edition.
MFMuslim Farooque9y ago#7
sir im using a combination of your lectures+ your notes+techincal articles and exam practice , because study text is too long and alot of irrelevant things are there in the book

I do agree with you about the Study Texts - it is just not realistic for most people to read and understand every word :-) I do suggest though that you get a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers rather than just rely on past questions. This is partly because they contain more questions than are available on the ACCA website (and the more practice the better), but also because the examiners and the syllabus have both changed over time and the Revision Kits have accounted for this in their choice of questions.
