    Do read the following essential article from the ACCA on how questions are marked:

    Hello sir/madam,

    I am about to start preparing for the performance management paper and section A of the PM syllabus from ACCA is not covered in the open tuition notes provided under PM. Do I have to buy study resources from somewhere to get access to section A part of the ACCA performance management syllabus?

    Thank you

    Section A is covered – our lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    We cover the syllabus in what we regard as the most easy to understand way, which is why the lectures covering the Section A topics are at the end of the notes.

    (I trust you do not intend to use the notes without watching the lectures 🙂 They are lecture notes (not a Study Text) and it is in the lectures that I work through the examples, and explain and expand on the notes.)

    Hello Sir,
    I was on the PM exam in September. I had both a question for 15 points and a question for 20 points with the topic of joint product / further process. I do not remember seeing this topic in your lectures. But I can also be wrong. Could you tell me in which chapter the topic is covered? Thank you in advance.
    Best regards Ani

    If it really was joint product costing (and not relevant costing) then that is revision from Paper MA and is covered in the Paper MA notes and lectures.

    Thank you Sir,
    if I have to be precise, as far as I can remember the questions were related to whether and which product should continue to be further processed ( for 15 and 20 points). I see that this topic is covered briefly in Chapter 9 of the BPP workbook. Where can I watch it in your lectures?
    Thank you again for your answer.
    Best regards

    aniivanova: That sounds more to me as though it was relevant costing – joint product costing would be extremely unusual for Paper PM and further processing is a separate issue and for it to be asked as a 15 or 20 mark question is almost impossible. As I wrote before, it is process costing is examined in Paper MA (was F2) and there are free lectures on it for Paper MA.
    Obviously there are lectures on relevant costing for Paper PM, and I assume that you have worked through all past questions in your Revision Kit, because the type of question that I think you mean has been asked several times before.

    joevan: Many congratulations on having passed PM – I am very pleased for you indeed.
