    Bad news. Past papers from 2007, 2008 and 2009 can no longer be downloaded from Acca website under the revised student support website.

    Agreed – they could have waited until after the June exams!

    (and the whole website is a mess to use on a mobile as well 🙁 )

    It seems ACCA just can’t get their website right every time they do the updates. It really becomes a nuisance to us students, either it’s too messy to a level of an eye-balling from the old-old version, or the current one’s constant material missings. Just the other day, I popped an email to their HQ telling them to sort out the technical articles for F5 and F7. There is only part 1 financial instrument under F7 while by doing google, part 2 is hidden from the maze.
    Total disgrace. Why can’t they really pull out some resources to dedicate the cosmetic and functional business like their own website? They are the richest accountancy body in the world, richer than the much larger membership numbered AICPA, far richer than the more esteemed ICAEW. The retained earnings and reserves dwarfs ICAEW for every accounting period. But they just couldn’t pull off a decent website for their members and students like what the ICAEW do for their own.
    The ACCA has been such that it is now becoming more and more like a cost-cutting, profit-seeking corporation, rather than an education-oriented, membership-based, value-for-money not-for-profit organisation limited by gurantee, and promoted by Royal Charter. Next are we expecting them to go listed in the LSE and become a PLC in the UK?

    I have been thinking 🙂

    They cannt claim to have removed them because they are out of date (apart from tax).
    And the can’t say it costs them too much. It cannot cost much to have the space on the website.

    I guess they doing it so we have to buy revision kits from the people they approve who pay them so much money. Corruptions!!!!

    Yes what is the use of paying annual subscription fees when we don’t get anything in return? No student accountant and no old past papers. Seems acca is a money making business now
