    I just want to ask,is this forum open for public discussion? how come my post was deleted, and the most ridiculous thing is that, he just edit the original comment ? Oh gosh … delete the post by just because can’t accept other peoples suggestion?

    “Note that your first question if is optional question, please make sure you can finish within 30-45 mins.”
    WHAT!!!!!!
    It’s 45 minutes! Finishing in 30 minutes means you’re headed for a poor mark – probably a fail in that question
    Anyone reading this please ignore Patrick’s post”

    First thing first, indeed, the ideal time for answering the question is 45min, but you can’t say that if using 30min then this mean will get poor mark or even fail the exams, the mark is allocate to relevant point NOT how many time you spend on the question.

    Our goals is to pass the exam (50%) NOT score (60% and above), spend another 15mins to the question doesn’t mean that you will pass, in fact, as long as you get 50% marks or above of the question then you are save! An extra 15mins is very is useful for the Q1 especially for those who can’t read fast. Is allocate the correct time to the question or allocate the time correctly to the question ?

    I have no idea who deleted your post – if you say which forum it was in then, or which paper it was referring to, then I will see if I can find out.

    We rarely delete posts, although we certainly have the right to – we provide this service free of charge and we decide what we allow to be posted. Posts are usually only deleted when they are offensive or when they are asking for soft copies of materials (because that is illegal).

    I am not defending your post being deleted – I would need to see the whole thread and ask whoever it was who deleted it.

    (Don’t forget that for the paper based exam there is 15 minutes for reading anyway – the exams are 3 hours 15 minutes)

    Thank you for your reply, to be honest your word is more polite than “him”, as his like keep insulting me like no body business. Such as ask other participant to ignore me ,delete my post and edit others comment.

    I’m here not for blaming but I just want some respect, as I trying to give some exam techniques which I used before in my exam, and it might be suitable to others. But he just delete everything and only leave his own comment.

    Patrickwee,
    I don’t know who deleted your post, however just to clarify, you were answering a question in one of the Ask the Tutor forums.
    Since you are not the tutor, you should refrain from posting comments in those forums, unless, of course, you are the person who opened the thread.

    Hello,

    I have mistakenly posted a question with Topic Title “Laurel Group (AAA) – Retained Earnings” in two forums “Ask the Tutor ACCA FM Exams” and “Ask the Tutor ACCA AAA Exams”. Can you please delete the question from FM forum, as question relates to AAA.

    @dikshajain9 – I have deleted from FM – but seems to have deleted also from AAA – where I had posted a reply to it. In short:

    Closing RE = Opening RE + Profit for the year – distributions

    Any difference is POTENTIALLY a RoMM – even if the difference is for a valid reason (e.g. IAS 16 transfer from surplus), there is a risk that the amount may be incorrect.

    The “10” is part of the difference of 17 and is a misstatement – you can’t “fund” anything with anything other than cash or a liability/loan.
