Hi All, I’d like to ask whether do you have already updated status of your exam assigned as “awaiting for results” instead of “booked” (I have written centre-based exam) on my acca platform? I had some technical issues today and wondering whether exam has been submitted properly
In regards to exam it was mostly common sens. Q1 about joint venture and technology development, Q2 CSR and job describtion and internal controls on Q3. Seemed that it was easier version in my opinion
I had the same questions, didn’t use any models. I sort of answered the qu1b on tcech development in a weird structure. Didn’t really follow the exhibit, think i forgot to even refer to it. Hoping I get some credit for making comments on digital marketing and AI etc…
Question on project management job description was fairly easy and even the internal control weaknesses in the credit control team.
I wish I wrote more but nerves got the best of meHi Chamil, do you remember points that were split between the task one and two?
ThanksI found the paper ok – I didn’t really use any models at all as I don’t think there was any obvious ones to use.
Struggled to find a number of drawbacks for investing in technology.
The job description and analysis of the credit control dept was pretty straightforward I foundI had the acquisition, change model, 7 p’s, sustainability and risks of new software. Not sure I wrote enough and think i used the wrong model for the change. What model did everyone else use for change in culture?
After 24h all exams are sent to ACCA. By then you will see the status as attempted.
I had acquisition of smaller player and I used SAF to conclude that the acquisition should go ahead. I used Lewin as a model to manage the change. For the pros and cons of sustainability, in honesty I thought the answers were in the question and I just analysed the info given. On the risks of new software, I basically said PVS shouldn’t touch it, based on feedback from staff.
Paper was okay!! Struggled on technological impact on PVS. What did you guys write for that?
I didn’t use the exhibit to answer the tech development question but listed the following:
AI and the drawbacks being AI seen as creating unemployment
Digital marketing and drawbacks that it could alienate the 40% of the demographics who are mature and maybe not tech savvy.
SMART tech with apps to be able to keep client informed (not sure why I even wrote that)
I should have put blockchain technology but didn’t…I had ideas but nerves got to meHi All.
On the Q1 where it asked for assessment of the NP acquisition. Did you all recognized it was asking about Feasibility/Suitability/Acceptability? I did not recognized that and just picked up information form the exhibit and commented on that. Now feel a bit anxious that it will not be enough to pass this question.I used Lewin’s steps: unfreeze, change, freeze. For the Q1 on the acquisition I did not recognize FAS model, just picked up information from scenario and commented on that. Not sure if it is sufficient.
For aquisition it should be FAS (feasibility/accessibility/suitability), but I did not use jus, just did not recognize this model and assesed the aquisition based on the information provided in the exhibit.
You might be ok. The ACCA have specifically said that you are not required to use any models when answering, so long as your answers are reasonable and you can back them up. Incidentally, SAF itself it not a model, it only serves to organise your thinking. So if you didn’t use SAF, that in itself means nothing. What matters is that you were able to pick up on the key points in the exhibit and evaluate them. Good luck!
