    Hi Everybody,

    I am trying to find out more information about the Ethics and Professional Skills Module. Any clarifications would be welcome especially with regards to whether this module is done directly through ACCA and not through a tuition provider and also do ACCA also provide the study material.

    Thank you

    Yes, it is done directly through ACCA. It’s an e-learning course with several modules, and tests you must pass to successfully complete it. There is no study material and no tuition providers, as the material is all contained within the online course.

    Hi @cassiemac89,

    It is expected that the module will take students approximately 20 hours to complete.

    You can also find this here

    Hope that helps.

    Hello.

    Please can you advise if there any expiration time or deadlines for this module to be completed, once you signed (paid)/ started it.

    Thank you in advance.

    It is a one-off cost. There is no specified deadline and hence it does not have an expiry. HOWEVER:
    – you are strongly advised to complete it before attempting ANY of the Strategic Professional exams;
    – it must be completed before applying for membership;
    – ACCA can add to the EPSM at any time so any unnecessarily long delay could result in having to complete additional units.

    See other FAQs here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/faq-ethics.html#When-should-I-complete-EPSM?

    They are different things – the one for the Foundation qualification is free – EPSM for the “full” ACCA qualification has to be paid for. A student can only access the module in the qualification that they are signed up to. So if you were to transfer from Foundation qualification to ACCA, you would be expected to work through EPSM before sitting any of the Strategic Professional exams.

    See here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/faq-ethics.html#When-should-I-complete-EPSM the question “Is there an exam I need to complete as part of EPSM?”

    It says “There are a series of tests throughout the module and the final unit of the module is an assessment which you will need to pass. If you don’t pass first time, then you will get feedback and you can try again until you are successful …”

    This “module” is an online course which you can do at your own pace from wherever you like. Your progress through the module will be saved so whenever you go back to it you can start from where you left off.

    That is really too soon – I suggest you wait until you are eligible to enter for a strategic professional exam. Otherwise you won’t be ready to benefit from it. Hope that makes sense!

    America. Test marketing has revealed the following demand curve for the product:

    to capture 10% of this market.
    The company has established a cost card based on 50,000 units of sales each year:
    TZS.
    Direct materials 100
    Direct labour 30
    Fixed overhead 70
    Total cost 200
    The company wishes to achieve a target profit of TZS. 10,000,000 for sales of this product
    per year.
    Required:
    a) What price will the company have to charge to capture its required market share
    and what is the target unit cost to achieve its target profit?
    b) What is the size of the target cost gap

    If you search for key words phrases you may find answers – I think Rashid you should have asked about this on the PM forum https://opentuition.com/topic/scriba-company/
